It’s a scene that has become all too common: a group of friends (of just about any age), sitting around, talking about the cultural phenomenon that is Harry Potter. Any group like this will inevitably get to one conversation — what house of Hogwarts would each of them be in. I too have found myself in such a conversation. If I’m being honest, I’ve had it multiple times with multiple groups of people. Each and every time, I’ve always figured that I would be a Ravenclaw. I’m brainy, studious, love puzzles, and certainly don’t have the bravery necessary to make it as a Gryffindor.
However, in one of these conversations, a particular friend of mine let me know that she thought I could have been a successful Slytherin. This is not a statement to be taken lightly. In anticipation of writing this post, I asked my friend to write about her feelings. This is what she had to say (using my own words against me!):
Bob, you need to come to grips with the fact that you’re a Slytherin. Here are some examples, from your own mouth, which help me prove my case:
Ok, yes, I said all of those things (though I maintain that I was only nervous about the Sorting Hat because my friend put the idea into my head!). Really, though, I swear, I’m not Slytherin material. I mean, is there anyone who admits to being Slytherin material? I suppose not all Slytherins are bad. Horace Slughorn seemed mostly harmless, anyway. I think, though, at the end of the day, if you are overly concerned about being a Slytherin, you aren’t a Slytherin. Pretty much all the Slytherins seem to be perfectly happy in the house of Voldemort and Malfoy.
Yes, I may have an overinflated ego, but I’m not completely bent on keeping pure bloodlines. While I may act like a Disney villain at times, it usually has far more to do with my general disdain for children than it does a maniacal desire for power. I think my friend is wrong. It’s Ravenclaw all the way for this blogger!
Now admit it, you’ve had the same conversation with your friends. What house do you belong in?
I’m still not sure what house I would be in. I really don’t think I would be in Hufflepuff because I am really extroverted (sorry, Hufflepuffs), I’ve always been smart but never as crazy smart as the Ravenclaws seem to be and I feel like such a dick just saying Gryffindor.
Hufflepuff?
I am a Slytherin at heart. BWWWWWWAAAAA-HHHHAAAAAAA! Only kiddin’, I’m a Ravenclaw……..brap, peace out.
I’m not a slytherin either….
apparantly i’m slytherin…. :( well actually thats awesome so who cares. i allways call myself a death eater but i think i’m more hufflepuff at heart. I decided i’d be a hufflepuff mudblood who joins the death eaters pretending to be a pureblood slytherin because i wanted attention but it backfired and i ended up killing the people i wanted to get attention from… :/ damn.
I am a Ravenclaw apparently too. I wanna be HAGRID
