Come on, admit it. You’ve taken a Harry Potter house quiz or two. It’s a great geeky time killer at the very least.
This month, we decided to take a few quizzes and compare results. Isabela, Evan, and I have lots of opinions about all things Harry Potter, not just the house definitions and meanings. We open with a brief discussion of Fantastic Beasts and The Cursed Child to kick off our discussion. I get all the names wrong. All of them.
For those who might not be as well versed in the Hogwarts houses, summaries of each house (taken from the Harry Potter Wiki):
Gryffindor values bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Its emblematic animal is the lion and its colors are scarlet and gold.
Hufflepuff values hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Its emblematic animal is the badger and its colors are yellow and black.
Ravenclaw values intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Its emblematic animal is the eagle and its colors are blue and bronze.
Slytherin house values ambition, cunning, and resourcefulness. Its emblematic animal is the serpent and its colors are emerald green and silver.
The fandom dedicated to Harry Potter is highly devoted and there are many ways to look at the Hogwarts Houses. We have a great time discussing the quizzes and our own desires to sort ourselves into the house we truly feel the most aligned to.
