What house would you be in and why?
Would it be Griffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin?

It depends. If we go by their description, then I would be in Hufflepuff. But since the book really didn't go by it's own descriptions and even stated that the students can pretty much be in any House they wanted if they asked the Sorting Hat, I would go with Slytherin. That way I would immediately have the favor of the cruelest and most unfair teacher at school.

I have to agree with jr1316 on being in slytherin. It's also the hose with the best contacts!!

By the way jr1316, u should be a member of the group, it's sounds like ur a big Mr. Potter fan and we can use some more opinions here!!

I would be in Ravenlaw because not to brag, but I'm pretty smart ;)

Apr 10, 2011, 12:41 pm

i dont remember what hufflepuff was. but i would be in there becuase i am not brave, not really smart, and not evil. so that narrows my choices!

Apr 10, 2011, 5:52 pm

hahahahaha i think i would be ravenclaw too plus i loooooove luna!!!! who is everyone elses favorite character?? i like luna and ginny and fleur! :) no one else does, but shes funny!!!

Apr 10, 2011, 6:39 pm

Sirius Black is my favorite he so cool!

10swimfreak14
Apr 10, 2011, 7:13 pm

Yeah Luna's pretty awesome, but I like Ginny the best.

11mrmcfluff
Apr 10, 2011, 8:00 pm

I think Ginny and Luna are ok, but no one can compare to Hermione!! I have no idea why she Marries Ron in the end!! See all my thought on THAT subject in the "HP love birds topic".

12Booklover297
Apr 10, 2011, 10:36 pm

I have to say that I really have never liked Hermione that much, I think she a show off and a know it all to

13Mariah7
Apr 10, 2011, 11:20 pm

ron is my favorite.

14Booklover297
Apr 10, 2011, 11:30 pm

I like ron he really funny :)

15mrmcfluff
Apr 10, 2011, 11:36 pm

Hermione is supposed to be a show off because she has talent to show off!! And she's a know it all because she literally does know it all!

Ron on the other hand, his best talent was sitting next to Harry on the train the first time in sorcer stone!! If I was Harry I would have ditched Ron by the third book!!

16Mariah7
Apr 10, 2011, 11:45 pm

haha good point.
but i still love. he balanced the whole threesome. smart, brave, funny.

Edited: Apr 11, 2011, 2:12 am

With out Hermione both Ron & Harry could have been dead several times over! Each of them has a part to play & together they are strong & they survive, without any one of them things would have gone very differently. 8^)
P.S. I would be in Gryffindor, definitely!

18Mariah7
Apr 11, 2011, 3:05 pm

i agree with vanye.

19sarahy
Apr 13, 2011, 6:57 pm

for the record, im sorry, but i almost thought harry wasnt that realistic. sure he had some downsides, but he wasnt always that modest, and he mostly had help from friends when he did lots of the stuff he wasnt famous for, but when publicity hit, he was always alone. does that make sense?

20swimfreak14
Apr 13, 2011, 9:11 pm

I guess I sort of get what you're trying to say. I thought that Harry was too perfect, if you know what I mean.

21mrmcfluff
Apr 13, 2011, 10:45 pm

I thought that Harry was a scrawny kid who was lucky he had good friends ( mostly Hermione!!)
I also think that he was way to full of himself!! In the seventh book he never really appreciated what all of the people were doing for him!!

24mrmcfluff

26swimfreak14
Apr 14, 2011, 7:04 pm

He was always throwing things in the 5th book. Didnt he throw a table in Dumbledore's ofice?

31bubblegum99
Apr 17, 2011, 9:06 pm

I'll try.( no promises there.)
I can picture Harry lying on a black leather bed with a psychologist in a big squishy armchair asking him questions. Then he jumps up and starts smashing everything in sight.

32sarahy
Apr 24, 2011, 5:30 pm

33mrmcfluff
Jun 10, 2011, 9:40 am

We got way of topic with this one!! So I'm gonna start over with what house I would be in. I would probably be in ravenclaw but sneak into gryfinndor all the time because of my friends. So sort me that way!!

im not sure, theyre supposed to be caring i think... and maybe shy..?

42theadawn
Aug 2, 2011, 4:14 pm

I don't think that Hufflepuff is the house that students go into when rejected by the others. I mean look at Diggory. He was chosen to be the Hogwarts champion and he was in Hufflepuff. Btw I'd definitely choose Griffindor all the way ;)

43supersam

hufflepuffs are finders and they r supposed to b loyal.....what the heck is a hufflepuff anyway?! lol

Hello everyone!! I'm new to this group but like you, I'm an avid fan of Rowling's Harry Potter series. Since this thread talks about houses in Hogwarts, I just want to say that my favorite is Slytherin. I disagree to those who say that Slytherin is a bad house. I seriously think that Slyths have a good side too.

63sarahy
Sep 15, 2011, 5:33 pm

i think that slytherin got a bad rap after harry potter... i mean (sorry cherry) but they arent my favorite house, but everyones so prejudiced about them just cuz voldy and draco and snape had it

64OrientalCherry
Sep 16, 2011, 2:08 am

Voldemort was an evil man (but he's a genius). Draco is coward (but who cares? He's soooo good-looking). And Snape, he is the bravest man I've ever known.

Nov 9, 2011, 2:05 pm

I've taken three different online Sortng Hat Quizzes so far and everyone says I belong in Hufflepuff. So it would seem I was actually Sorted into the correct House after all.

Beatles1964

131Mariah7
Nov 9, 2011, 8:47 pm

which one was the best one you took?

132beatles1964
Nov 10, 2011, 2:10 pm

I went to the following three online Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quizzes:

1. www.thealmightyguru.com

2. www.personalitylab.com

3. www.spenecial.com

Of them the second one was the best. It's called: Find Your Hogwarts House:
The Harry Potter Sorting Hat Personality Test. There are 122 questions you
have to answer and you should be honest when you answer the questions
that way you'll be Sorted into the correct House for you. You rate the Answers
on a 1-9 Scale.

1. Extremely Uncharacteristic

2.

3. Somewhat Uncharacteristic

4.

5. Neither characteristic or uncharacteristic

6.

7. Somewhat characteristic

8.

9. Extremely characteristic

Then before you're Sorted into your House you have to take a Demographic
Questionnaire then you can click on, Submit For Scoring and then it tells you
what House you belong in.

When I took it I mainly had an awful lot of Number 1s & 9s. Though I also had
some Number 5s & 6s too and maybe even 1 Number 7. I'll probably take some
other Sorting Hat Quizzes as well. I just Googled Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quizzes
and they all came up.

Beatles1964

133ErisofDiscord
Nov 10, 2011, 2:53 pm

I took the first two tests that you mentioned and I was very truthful. It put me in Gryffindor on both tests, with the Personality Lab giving me a minor in Ravenclaw and the Almighty Guru's giving Slytherin as my second choice.

134Mariah7
Nov 13, 2011, 6:54 pm

First quiz- Hufflepuff 12
Gryffindor 11
Ravenclaw 11
Slytherin 9
Second Quiz- it wouldnt work
Third quiz- couldnt find it.

135Fob45
Nov 13, 2011, 7:19 pm

I got hufflepuff too! But it was REALLY close with ravenclaw. I think it was like 13 and 12. I forgot the other scores.

136GinnyW
Edited: Nov 14, 2011, 5:51 pm

The first I was a Gryffindor. I answered 10 questions for each house. And the second and got Ravenclaw: 80, Slytherin: 75, and Gryffindor and Hufflepuff: 74.

I'm really book smart, so I could be in Ravenclaw. But, I am told that I have a lot of the characteristics of a Slytherin. So....maybe I'm a Slavenclaw. Or a Raverin.

Nope. Jo Rowling. Her first name is Joanne and that is what she is commonly called, as J.K. Rowling is a pseudonym that her publisher wanted her to use, so that her books could appeal to both boys and girls (because, apparently, they thought guys wouldn't buy a book if they thought it was written by a woman).

Yeah, I meant what I wrote. On her website, she basically asks her fans to call he Jo.

My hero. I read this thing of Tumb1r today. It said: Stephenie Meyer said the gods of writing sent her down here to write for us. Jo Rowling said "I didn't send her!"

Oh, okay! I never knew that. What's the K stand for?

Kathleen, which is her grandmother's name. The reason she used it was so she would have another initial to put in her pseudonym, as she does not have a middle name.

For what? I wasn't answering a trivia question - I was just explaining to Fob what J.K. Rowling's real name was.
