So I want to know which house you would prefer to be in or which house you think the sorting hat would place you in if you went to Hogwarts in Harry Potter.

I would probably want to be in either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, and I would probably be placed in Hufflepuff, since I am crazy about working hard and feel like a slacker sometimes even when I've done hours and hours of homework.

So would you be in Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, or Slytherin?

Definitely Ravenclaw.

slytherin or ravenclaw, most likely slytherin.

Gryffindor/Ravenclaw. I'll go with Gryffindor on the poll.

Rubeus Hagrid's house, of course!

The rest are just cliques...........heeheehee

Ravenclaw/Hufflepuff. Not quite sure how my procrastination (yet I still seem to work harder than a lot of people)/intelligence/loyalty actually balances out.

Gryffindor, of course.

Who'd wanna be a Slytherin -- only two worth bothering about anyhow -- Severus Snape and Nigellius Black (the headmaster in the painting).

Gryffindor. I'd like to think I'm smart enough to be in Ravenclaw, but that's not exactly my defining charcteristic. :p

I would rather be a professor.

I would start my own house - The Upstart Mudbloods

I'd be in a new house as well - the nondescripts - for those who thought they made a difference yet, in actuality, were never noticed at all.

Whichever house they sort me into, of course.

You ask him you know. I asked him for me.

I had no clue, so I took a test. http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=sortinghat

I figured I'd get Hufflepuff from it's description.. but I got Ravenclaw.

Meh.. took a different test and got Gryffindor. I'll just choose Hufflepuff.

For that one it gave me Hufflepuff as my top result and Ravenclaw as my second.

I took it and got slytherin which I also chose.

This is a good question. I have to say it would probably be between Gryffindor and Slytherin; I possess the moral values one might associate with Gryffindor, but at the same time I'm a very intellectual, curious man with a penchant for elitism.

All told, I think I'd end up in Slytherin, only I wouldn't be one of the jerks from that house like Malfoy and his posse. I've always found it a bit sad Rowling never showed us the decent folks that did end up in that house, but always focused on the rotten apples instead.

Edit: Turns out I'm Ravenclaw after all. Must be because I wasn't ambitious and/or machavellian enough for Slytherin, and I had forgotten Ravenclaw valued intellectual prowess as well.

She doesn't show very much of Hufflepuff at all, either...

Cedric Diggory was the biggest, right? And that Ernie kid, maybe?

Mmm... According to the test I should be in Gryffindor but personally I thought I'd end up in Slytherin. I would have preffered the latter. Bugger.

Cedric Diggory was the biggest, right? And that Ernie kid, maybe?

Yeah. But it's the one house where we never got to see the common room...

Yeah. But it's the one house where we never got to see the common room...

Yeah, they were muchly underrepresented.

I took that test to, it said Gryffindor, but I chose Ravenclaw in the poll.
However, on second thought, maybe Gryffindor is a better choice.

Considering how blatently evil and cowardly JK rowling wrote slytherin, I'm suprised anyone would pick it.


Ravenclaw for me.

Whichever house they sort me into, of course.

mm like where i end up thanks to it

Delta House.

TOGA PARTY!

Gryffindor, of course.

Who'd wanna be a Slytherin -- only two worth bothering about anyhow -- Severus Snape and Nigellius Black (the headmaster in the painting).

I'd probably be in Gryffindor, I'm too lazy nowadays to study to be in Ravenclaw:D

That said, I disagree with Kat about Slytherin, Horace Slughorn is cool :cool:

Is not Hufflepuff also the house of left-overs? Anyway: Griffindor: no, I'm not that nice; Slytherin: no, I'm not that egotistical, and Hermoine is my favorite character; Hufflepuff: no, I'm way too lazy; Ravenclaw: yes, I talk considerably and use overly-encumbering words.

You have to realize that Slytherin is for the ambitious. JK tried to pull it off in the beginning, that Slytherin isn't necessarily bad, but then again we all know JK never could write for things she herself didn't like. The books are VERY VERY favoritist.

I chose Slytherin because based on the official descriptions, Slytherin seems like a pretty cool house:


You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

(From Mugglenet):

Gryffindor

Founded by Godric Gryffindor, whose symbol is the Lion, members of the Gryffindor house are favored for their bravery, which can be defined in many forms.

Slytherin

Founded by Salazaar Slytherin, whose symbol is the Serpent, members of the Slytherin house are catagorized for cunning, or, in simpler terms, street-smarts. They know how to survive on their own and, being ambitious as well, they generally like having their way and intend to go far with it. Not all Slytherins are Purebloods. Voldemort wasn’t one, and neither is Snape.

Ravenclaw

Founded by Rowenna Ravenclaw, whose symbol is the Bird of Prey, members of the Ravenclaw house are chosen and sorted through a desire to learn. A character needn't be a genius prior to enrolling in order to belong here. Always inquisitive, a Ravenclaw can tend to be the first to try something new, but it can also mean a Ravenclaw character is a terrible gossip as well. Their tendancies make it hard for them to make friends outside of their own house at times.

Hufflepuff

Founded by Helga Hufflepuff, whose symbol is the badger, members of the Hufflepuff house are loyal. As described by the Sorting Hat, Helga wished to accept everyone into her house that did not fit anywhere else, or were too eclectic. Those who were became eternally grateful, but also intent upon proving their house was just as worthy as any other's, hence their penchant for hard work.

The Public House

Ravenclaw seems to be the geekiest house in a super geeky school so thats sadly where I'd end up.:(

Is not Hufflepuff also the house of left-overs? Anyway: Griffindor: no, I'm not that nice; Slytherin: no, I'm not that egotistical, and Hermoine is my favorite character; Hufflepuff: no, I'm way too lazy; Ravenclaw: yes, I talk considerably and use overly-encumbering words.

I'm smart and focused on learning enough to be a Ravenclaw, but it's just not what distinguishes me. If I wasn't as hard-working as I am, I wouldn't be 1st in my class at my school, because there are plenty of people who are about as smart as me and a few who are smarter, but I work harder and take more difficult classes that assign more homework (and I do all of the homework). I guess I also get really worked up about things that I don't see as just, so that might be a reason, too.

Slytherin, definitely. I like being evil. :p

EDIT: That said, I'm not anti-Gryff or anti-anyotherhouse, I just would prefer to be a cunning, ambitious, egotistical, slightly evil witch or wizard... XD

The one that emma watson is in. :p [only kidding/]

House Elf. Doh!

Ravenclaw.

I'd be in the anti-wizardry house. Bloody fantasy fans...

I waver back and forth between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. I'm not a workaholic but I'm not afraid of hard work and believe in fairness. I have a knack for perception and wit, but sometimes I'm just too tired to think. Gimme a comfy chair, a fine book, and pass the hot cocoa.

The books state several times that the House doesn't make the person and most of the characters show qualities that would suit them to other Houses than the one they're in. Even the Sorting Hat allows for personal preference.

Harry and Sirius: Born to Slytherin, sorted into Gryffindor.
Hermione: Would have done well in Ravenclaw, sorted into Gryffindor.
Snape: In Slytherin, brave enough to be a Gryffindor.
Hagrid: Very attuned to the earth, in Gryffindor.

Even Dumbledore admitted that he thought the school sorted kids into Houses prematurely.

Ravenclaw, so I could shack up with Cho Chang (she was a hotty).

I have the drive to do well enough in Ravenclaw, and I'm constantly thinking, BUT I tend to help others before myself, I'm not afraid to work hard, and I believe that betrayal is the worst sin of them all, so that drops the Huffelpuff house upon me. It's a close call really.

I had no clue, so I took a test. http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=sortinghat

How the hell do you get results out of this one? I keep getting sent to stupid offers.

Gryffindor

Wow, quite a number of borderline Hufflepuff/Ravenclaws here!

We stand between the Earth and Sky.

Took the posted test and got sorted into Ravenclaw (again).

I'd be the guy reading about your silly adventures in a book.

I am a great, powerful and mighty wizard! They call me...........Tim.

Whichever one has the best parties. In fact, I'm making my own house. Animal house.

I would love to be in Gryffindor.

Although knowing my luck I'd end up in Hufflepuff.

Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, methinks

i'd be living in a quad accross the street, working part time, once i got the magical hang of putting extra hours in a day to get some decent sleep, and probably just auditing classess. or matriculated but not taking any and hanging out at the library instead. especially whatever equivelant of an engineering section the library might have.

because a, that's just how i am

and b, i still haven't gotten arround to reading any of the damd books or seeing the movies and i still want/intend very much to do so. i just haven't yet found enough round tuits yet to do so.

=^^=
.../\...

according to selectsmart, ravenclaw appearantly.
haven't a clue though really.
i do know i've never risided in a fraturnaty nor on campus dorm though, at any of the colleges or universitities i HAVE attended. and i've tended to take classes here and there on and off for a number of years of my life. never really used anything i've learned in any of them other then for hobbies and my own amusement. but i DO love university engineering libraries. and wish i was living either where i could easily get to one. or out in the boonies. one or the othere or both. both would be pure heavin.

i've always lived in cheep off campus flops, though i did one time have a gf who lived in a mixed gender dorm. that was pretty cool. i still would rather live in an off campus flop then any sort of on campus housing. even at hoqwarts if such a thing is possible there. ha, i'd probably live in a tree in the neighboring forrest if there is/was such a thing.

and occasionally having the goddess of all the little creatures in the forrest over for tea.

i'd probably be one of the guys who worked in the kitchen or fixed the cafeteria vending machines.

=^^=
.../\...

meh. I got Slytherin, although I've always fancied myself as a Ravenclaw.

More depressingly, I had to put 18-35 as opposed to younger than 18. Holy fuck, I'm actually growing up:eek:

Slytherin just to be contrarian and because I read too much Dramione fics.

the facebook quiz i did said i would be in ravenclaw. which is odd because aren't they about working hard and achieving stuff? i'm much more about getting by on the minimum effort/underhanded means.

Ravenclaw... brains over bravery, niceness and nastiness any day. The purity of thought. Plus it has Luna Lovegood... what more do you need?

Just so.

:eek:
I took the quiz and got Slytherin as my #1 result..
But I am not cunning, particularly ambitious, and far from Machiavellian..

So I am going with my #2 result of Hufflepuff, even though I think it has the most ridiculous name ever. :p

I got Gryffindor on that random test thing, mmm.
Probably would have prefered Ravenclaw.

For some reason, I think Slytherin...

Isn't it Hufflepuff that gets all the ones the other houses cream off? If so, Hufflepuff.

Seriously, there'd have to be some interesting folks there.

Definitely not Poofterpuff or Huffleshuffle or whatever the hell it's called.

Where all Mary Sue's belong.

As the esteemed leader of Orleannia, I attend Hogwarts school. I currently reside in House Ravenclaw, thusly I chose it as my favored residence.

I found a Hogwarts' online. Seriously, they have courses, a curriculum and sort you into Houses.

It's all roleplayed in the forum (like here), and you e-mail the professors your homework and test answers.

To my profound surprise, I got sorted into Gryffindor, of all things!!

Guess I'm a fiery, brave type underneath...but their Sorting Hat quiz wasn't quite what the book's was. That one took your personal preference into account.

I prefer HEX. They have you write about yourself and decide where to sort you based on that. I think that's probably more accurate than a multiple choice quiz, as long as you write enough.
