What house are you in? (am I even allowed to make this? :P)

So.... I have a better idea than this... in fact, a pretty epic one... Anyone that would like to know it... If I can get at least, hmmm, ten people wondering/asking what it is, I'll tell XD
But for now, just say which house you think you'd be in!
And don't get all mad at me for making this! I'm a total newb, and if I wasn't supposed to... I didn't know....
~Tabby, a Slytherin (Hufflepuff just didn't seem to fit my online personality... just my RL one...)

I'm actually a bit of a Slytherpuff, both puffball and slythie... lol, I have, like, a split personality XD

We may have had a thread like this before -- but you're certainly welcome to make a new one! It's nice to see new people posting, and we hope you'll stick around. :-)

I identify most strongly with Ravenclaw, though the online tests sometimes put me in Hufflepuff.

I have an interesting idea... if it works, I'll stick around...

You sound like a Ravie :P

I'm a Griffindor, strong on Courage but not always thinking it thru first.

*Gryffindor :P

(Sorry, I'm such a grammer Nazi, whenever someone spells something wrong I correct it... especially Harry Potter stuff...)

Don't take this the wrong way, but does anyone else think Gryff is overrated?

sorry I shoulda caught that.

I'm not exactly sure where I would be. At lot of Harry Potter "what house are you in?" quizzes tell me either Gryfinndor or Hufflepuff, which I'm okay with either one as long I'm not in Slytherin, I don't want to be associated with someone like Malfoy...LOL just kidding but no Slytherin for me please.

Probably Ravenclaw, and a few online quizzes agreed. But quizzes have also put me Gryffindor and Slytherin. . . . just depends on my mood. (I get the same way with the 'which side brain are you' quizzes. I'm about 50/50, so my daily inclinations tip the scales.)

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

I think I was Hufflepuff with a Gryfinndor close in second then Ravenclaw and Slytherin with a 0..lol.

According to that poll, I'm spending a third of my time in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. I scored 13 for each house, and a measly 7 for Slytherin.

I'm in hufflepuff. Never knew I was so hard working. Can't for the life of me get it to paste.

I don't like online tests... Better to ask your friends, they ACTUALLY know you...

However, I'm taking it just to see... lol

I come out as Ravenclaw in the majority of the online tests.

Hufflepuff with Ravenclaw as a close second. As usual.

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff as a very close second. Typically how I get sorted.

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Armadilowood house. Party of one.

Although i'm also intrigued by Slytherpuff.

And what was the epic idea? Don't make me ask 9 more times...

I have found that you can manipulate those tests to be put where ever you want

Yes, I just tweaked mine and ended up in Ravenclaw. Maybe it's like asking the hat where you want to be put. :)

#20: Frankly, wasn't that the whole point of what Harry did? He fit into Slytherin, but he wanted to be placed in Gryffindor. Which means I can be in Ravenclaw if I want to. :oP

ETA: Oh, see? I should have read varielle's before I commented. What varielle said. :o)

Well actually in Harry Potter's case, he had that scar so it was like he had a piece of or a connection with Lord Voldemort, which we later found out about, so in that sense he fit into Slytherin. But I think they were right in placing him in Gryfinndor.

#19~I just might... :P

Maybe I'll tell you... If you bug me enough lol

Besides, Harry isn't nearly evil, awesome, or good enough to be a Slytherin lol... (I'm not a huge fan of Harry himself, in case you couldn't figure that out....)

Though, if anything to connect me with Voldie and Slyth, it would be Parseltongue (no I can't speak to snakes (obviously...), but I understand them, and just plain love them :)

#23: Though he had a connection to Voldemort, I think it was more his ambition and need to prove himself that the hat thought he would do well there. Slytherins are not necessarily evil, it's more that they are cunning and go after what they want. They like having power, and power corrupts.

Thanks to catbastet for helping me sort out my thoughts and check references so that I could say this coherently. :o)

That is a valid point. But I sometimes wonder had he not had that connection to Voldemort, would the Sorting Hat have even thought about putting him in Slytherin?

#6: For future reference, grammar is spelled with an -ar at the end.

#28 - LOL! Even though I didn't write #6 I didn't realize they spelled grammar wrong...but the irony of her message and yours made me giggle a little...in a good way not a bad way..
LOL

#28 -- Compski, I believe you just presented your credentials to be a member of Ravenclaw house. ;-)

#28- thank you for the literal LOL!

And I have taken a bunch of those online tests and usually get Gryffindor, but I think I'm a pretty good mixture of the traits from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, as well. The last test I took I scored almost evenly for all three with Slytherin really far behind the others. (I think this particular test was 13 for Gryffindor, 12 for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and 7 for Slytherin).

#28- LOL, I can't believe I didn't catch that... how ironic :P
I'm dyslexic, but usually I don't have any trouble spelling words, just reading... Everything gets all jumbled up in my head :P

Ok, can't hold it in any longer... I'm too impatient. So, people, I totally expect feedback on my idea, and--hopefully--support XD
So, here goes:

My idea was to start a new Harry Potter group, but it would work differently... For example:
-It would be Hogwarts!
-There would be a HoH and prefect for Slyth, Puff, Gryff, and Ravie (I would choose trusted members. If someone goes inactive for more than a month or so, they would be replaced)
-I would sort people according to 5 questions that they would have to answer
-There would be classes and teachers. (I'd have people fill out applications, then choose)
-In classes, people would earn points. At the end of the year, there would be a house cup. The winning house.... well, erm, wins :P (obviously...)I would keep track of the points with both a points thread, and a google doc.
-There would be a Yule Ball (this could be quite fun, if I do it right :)
-Various parties (end of year party, 100 member party, 500 member party, christmas party, etc...)
-A library (this would count as a class)People can write stories, poems, songs, etc and we would give them feedback (only if they want it, of course :)
-A welcome discussion
-A notice board
-My office :)

That sounds interesting, though I feel like I have seen that before but not on here, on like the Shelfari wesbite, I think it is. I don't necessarily like the whole inactive for a month they are replaced part, I think it's because I think about people who participate but for some reason may get too busy at some point to have time to do this. (i.e. school, work involving travel, etc) But maybe that's just me.

i just got sorted and i'm a slytherin

As if!

#34~ Yes, I have started one on Shelfari, and there is also a big one--Keezie's. It is a very popular group.. And it's really fun. So I thought it would be cool to start one on here too... Yes, I know people have stuff to do. But members that are HoHs or prefects have a bit of a commitment, and if they are inactive for a long time without giving me a notice ahead of time, then they may have to be replaced. I don't know if I'll actually go through with that part...

#36~ Hufflepuff's have other traits, such as fun, happy, random, friendly, and stuff... It's really not a bad thing to be in Puff...

As usual I am Hufflepuff/Gryffindor But they said I was officially sorted into



Bib always tells me I'm a Hufflepuff.

#37 - I see what you are saying about the HoH and Prefects. I also know which one you are talking about by Keezie, I think I'm in that one. It still is pretty popular. lol.

So... is that saying you support my idea? ::looks hopeful::

#40 - It could be fun!

#41~ I think I'm going to start it and see where it goes... I'll just get everything organized for now :)

#42 - Okay! Keep me posted.

#21 varielle:
"This was meant to be more like what the Sorting Hat does."
You're right! :)

#34 Alisha RE: #33 Tabby
I've seen a few sites specifically dedicated to that, too. I'm never gone for a full month, but would be too busy.

I think these results are pretty normal for me so I didn't do any tweaking yet.

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

In-depth results:
Hufflepuff: 14
Gryffindor: 13
Ravenclaw: 12
Slytherin: 6

>#33: dibs on being the basilisk.

LOL. Why would you want to the basilisk?

No basilisks... Everyone's a student (Some are teachers too though)... However I MIGHT let there be a detention hall with Filtch, Umbridge and Mrs. Norris (You can make seperate accounts or something...) But I'm not sure that would work, plus it sounds incredibly boring :P

#44~ Only HoHs and Prefects will be removed from their position after a month or so. If you are busy, then you just won't be one in the first place... Students can be on as little or much as they want, so...

Hey, whoever wants to join/tryout/see my group, here's the link:

http://www.librarything.com/groups/hogwartsschoolofwitc#forums

Not much now... please don't add threads or anything without my permission! Thanks!

Oh, and I was thinking Quidditch might be fun... Maybe I'll start to work on that too.... maybe...

what if the basilisk is also a student...?

No basilisks! Seriously, only witches/wizards.... :P

what do you have against basilisks?

Hath not a basilisk eyes? Hath not a basilisk hands, organs,
dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with
the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject
to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means,
warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer
as a wizard is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?
If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us,
do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

Mr A, stop teasing the children and go to bed!

Now I'm trying to imagine tickling a basilisk, and it's not working.

I'm stuck on the hands...are they similar to T-Rex arms and hands/claws? If so, that'd be comical!

#52 If he's teasing someone else it means I'm having a break. I say let nature take its course.

#52~ I have nothing against basilisks... I just.... *long sigh*

:((

#56 -- You will get used to MrAndrew eventually . . . we all do. Maybe it would help to think of him as being a bit like Peeves? (MrA, I mean that in the best way possible, of course!)

MsD always compared him to Filch. Just saying. :o)

#58 and he dances with his (my) cat. I'll try to get photos ;)

#56 Tabby:
Don't mind him. It's just his way. MrA's well known for his humor. I warn against reading threads while drinking anything at the computer. Too many of ours have gotten spat on from reading not just his posts, but posts made by other members as well. ;)

*cough* JP! *cough*

>#56: well all right then. You'll be pleased to know that the Most Excellent Order of Basilisks has reviewed your case and decided to accept your apology. In fact you have been accepted into the order, and decreed to be an honorary basilisk. Congratulations!

P.S. best not to mention it to the other students.

#61~ LOL ok then ;D

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Gryff & Ravenclaw came in a very close 2nd & 3rd.

Your idea sounds fun Tabby. Ravelry has a similar group for knitters & crocheters.

Pollyanna I didn't know you are on ravely. My user name is the same as here.

#63~I don't have a clue what that is.... But will you join then? Please? I have the link somewhere in this thread.... ;)

#64 MsD, I will look for you, my ID is PollyWoggers

#65 tabby, Ravelry is an online community for people who knit & crochet. I'll go check out your link.

It's a secret cabal for people planning to take over the world using pointy implements and huge stashes of yarn. You're not fooling anyone.

I thought it was a home for fiber addicts.

16 minutes and the yarn sale of the year starts. You should let cat know, and if there is anything she likes I can get it for her, like sock yarn for example. http://www.morrisandsons.com.au/salesplash.htm

ps. I'm not an addict, but I must admit I am sweating and trembling a bit.

I showed her that site. I won't say she drooled, but when she looked at the sock yarn she did say "I've heard good things about Noro" in a wistful, far-off voice. :o)

A bit cranky couldn'y go to the yarn sale cause Mra had to pick car up frrom smash repairer. Also the website kept crashing. I have decided I'll wait for my birthday and buy the yarn from my dealer on ebay.

I saw they mentioned it kept crashing. Must be a popular site. Since MrA derailed your plans, I think he owes you at least ten skeins. :o)

Ten skeins? I only have one skein! No way i'm going out and skeinning anyone.

skeinning? skeins? Is that a Harry Potter thing? Did I miss something?

*frantically looks through all Harry Potter books and searches Google*

74> LOL alisha! Some of our members are knitting addicts! They are talking about skeins of yarn! It could be a harry potter thing since we knew that Hermione and Mrs Weasley both knitted

Okay I knew Mrs Weasley knitted but I didn't knot Hermione knitted...

*wipes forehead* Okay as long as I didn't really miss anyway big with HP.

And Dumbledore loved knitting patterns.

Hermione started Knitting in GoF I think

socks?

I must go back and re-read these books again....yikes.

elf hats

Oh yeah that's right, because she was trying to have equal rights for House Elves and everything. (S.P.E.W., right?)

thats right!

Now I remember. Though I'm still going to re-read the books.

That was another thing left out of the movies. I know it was more of a side story, but it was really important to her.

O.O wow, this is really off-topic.... :P

There was a topic? *looks up* Oh look! There was a topic!
Really, we aren't nearly as off-topic as we could be. No one has mentioned Twilight, cake or Dr. Who.

Until now. *eyebrow waggle*

Ooh, cake! Here, this one is on-topic:

This thread looks wonderful to me. Where are the plates?

That cake is awesome looking? I agree with Kerian where are the plates? :)

Ah, Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. The wisest motto I know. ;)

87~ OMG you actually mentioned Dr. Who! My friend has been bothering me to watch that for a loooong time :P

91: I'm rusty with my Latin. Does that mean "Don't tickle a sleeping dragon?"

"Sleeping dragons gather no titled lands"

or

"Dominant dragons tithe kumquats"

93- Yep!

94- LOL!

OOOHHH Dr Who! I miss my Dr Who!! LOL

LOVE the cake. It's Awesome. I can barely get frosting to stick to my cakes much less make it look like that!!

BTW. I have been a Ravenclaw in almost every test I have ever take. I have occationally (tho' very rarely) been put in Gryffindor

i always get gryffindoor and hufflepuff is always second

I can't wait for the second half of this seasons Doctor Who!

Awesome cake!

Griffindor. Because all my best "friends" are there who I've been with for 7 books and 10 years of movies. I'll just tell the hat that! :)

Doctor Who is so amazing... XD

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

scored 13 for Ravenclaw
12 for Gryffindor
11 for Hufflepuff
and 9 for Slytherin.

though I find Slytherin to be the most interesting house of all.. :P

GRYFFINDOR! For me at least. Sometimes I come up Slytherin, though. I like Gryffindor the best though - they have the nicer common room.

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Hufflepuff : 17
Ravenclaw : 13

I always get different houses depending on my mood. But actually I don't think I've ever really gotten Ravenclaw. I've been tied for that and Gryffindor but I was put in Griff.

I'm definitely a Griffindor!

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Ravenclaw - 14
Hufflepuff - 13
Gryffindor - 11
Slytherin - 6

That sounds about right to me! I could never be a Slytherin- I don't have the slightest hint of ambition.

How's your level of evil though? We make exceptions.

@MrAndrew- I'm not very evil, either, I'm afraid. You know the sort of person who actually apologises when someone punches them in the face? I'm one of those people. Pretty sure Salazar Slytherin would want nothing to do with me...

108: Ah, so maybe Slytherin would be just right for you! Teach you to retaliate when someone punches you in the face. You can still apologize, but they'd better sleep with one eye open.

Hahaha, they'd never suspect a thing until it was too late! Yeah, I think I could work with the whole sneaky retaliation thing...

Oh gosh! AP is turning evil!!! Everyone run!!!

I get put in Ravenclaw usually, though sometimes I get gryffindor or hufflepuff. It depends on my mood.

So, AP's turning evil reminded me of the first time I played poker. When my cousins came to visit, we would all play cards, like poker. I was only seven at the time, so I didn't really know that I didn't want other people to know if I had a good hand or a bad hand, and I didn't understand the whole concept of bluffing. Then, once I had it figured out, I got a really awful hand. So I put in really high stakes and reacted really happily once the first card got turned. One person kept going but eventually folded, thinking that I didn't know how to bluff. Of course, I had absolutely nothing in my hand, but when I put down my cards, I still got the whole pot- everyone else had folded. I remember my cousins and brother being really surprised!

Are you sure about the whole evil thing, AP? *sighs* Well, perhaps its for the best...

111: That's one of the few benefits to people not realizing that we change from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood.

112: Exactly!

Rebo - I don't think I'm quite turning evil yet. But perhaps if anyone crosses me we'll see if I have it in me.

Your poker story made me smile! People do change and yet that always seems to surprise us, particularly when we think we know someone well.

Of course, this very issue was addressed by Dumbledore in Deathly Hallows: You know, sometimes I think we sort too soon.

AP- OK, if you say so.... I'm still watching my back!

I'm glad you enjoyed it- Dumbledore always was a wise one!

I wonder how a later sorting would have affected Malfoy.

I think Malfoy would always have been a Slytherin -- he is always arrogant and scheming, and always convinced of the importance of purity of blood. And I think he always wants to be a Slytherin, which counts at least a little bit.

Yeah, I think he would've still been a Slytherin, although he might retain a respect for Gryffindor.

Snape is a different story...

Snape could've been in Ravenclaw.

I think he was a Gryffindor in the end, because of his bravery. And because of Lily.

I was going on his "if you prefer braun over brains" comment to James.

I suspect Snape would have been one of those hard to sort just like Harry.

^Then maybe he would be in Slytherin anyways, becuase he wanted to believe that he still wanted to be a Slytherein? Or maybe he'd be in Gryffinfor, becuase of the repect he had for them- a respect he may not have retained for Slytherein, becuase of good old Voldy?

If Snape has been sorted later on (like Dumbledore was saying when he told Harry that they "sort too soon"), I think he would've been a Gryffindor, because of his great bravery. He wasn't working for self gain, which is what a Slytherin would've done - he was doing everything for Lily.

where are my gryffindor housemates?....oohhh there u are. i love being in this house. ever since the first movie came out and every summer between the years of the movies. i stayed n this house.

ErisofDiscord It could be argued- and I'm really just playing Devil's advocate here- that Snape's love of Lily was actually quite selfish. He clung to it bitterly. He never forgave James and he resented Harry unfairly. It was certainly ennobling in many ways, but Snape's love for Lily was still a very Slytherin sort of love. He brooded over his grief, clung to it and allowed it to define him when he could have moved on.
Having said all that, I love Snape's story and think it's one of the most moving parts of the series!

On a more on-topic note, I have just discovered via Pottermore that in spite of my previous beliefs, I'm actually a Hufflepuff rather than a Ravenclaw! I always thought I was a little more 'claw than 'puff but as far as I'm concerned Jo Rowling's word is law, and she wrote the sorting quiz! So looks like I'm joining you, badgers of HE!

Woohoo! I'm glad you're on Pottermore, Penguin! What's your name on Pottermore, so I can perhaps friend you? I am AvisThorn20176, and I'm in Gryffindor. :D

I'm SeekerFrog7102- I've sent you a friend request :)
Anyone else here who's on Pottermore should feel free to add me over there!

AP, be sure to post on the Pottermore thread -- we have a list there of all of the Hogwarts Express Pottermore members, their usernames, and which house they are in.

I tried the test and got 13 for Slytherin, and 12 for Griffindor, I would prefer Griffindor as the girls are nicer.

I'm new, a gryffindor, and my pottermore is Nifflerrose25693.

I'm new... ravenclaw. Pottermore: HawthornMoon4408

Wonderful, Hellosis! I deleted my account by the way, in order to experience the Sorting again. Turns out I was a hat-stall between Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Funny life. I picked Slytherin, and my username is FelicisBronze25408.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'd be in Hufflepuff.  Despite wanting to be known for my wisdom above anything else, I was still sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore.  The first time, I was sorted into Slytherin because it was easy to gun for.

This individual from Hogwarts Castle is on the lookout for 'Puffs. http://www.librarything.com/topic/157218

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Never expected i'm a gryffindor hahaha

I was
Hufflepuff - 12
Ravenclaw - 12
Gryffindor - 11
Slytherin - 6

But the sorting hat called me Huffelpuff

You can take the quiz at http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Reviews/HarryPotter/Docs/Quiz-House.html

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Ravenclaw: 16
Gryffindor: 13
Hufflepuff: 7
Slytherin: 6

Ravenclaw !

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

I didn't think I would be a Hufflepuff...

Quite some time ago, after reading the Potter books, I took the test and was classified a Ravenclaw; noted on my profile.
I just retook the test; I guess there is something to be said about being consistent:

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Pottermore put me as a Slytherin; I think I'm a mix of that and Ravenclaw

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Between Pottermore and this test I am 100% Slytherin.

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Hufflepuff - 18
Ravenclaw - 12
Gryffindor - 9
Slytherin - 6

I've also been sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore.

Hi im new. According to pottermore which I need to resurface on soon, and a feww other random things I am one hundred percent slytherin and pround if it.

Most quizzes put me in Hufflepuff (including the one linked here), though a couple had me in either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. Pottermore put me in Slytherin!!! Why???

I have taken a number of quizzes and the people I know all agree: I'd be in Ravenclaw.

Pottermore put me in Ravenclaw. Personally I feel Pottermore's decision is final, but then I wanted to be a Ravenclaw so I might have felt differently if it put me in Gryffindor!

Yay! I'm in Ravenclaw with 14 points.
Hufflepuff with 12,
Gryffindor with 11,
and Slytherin with 7.

I'm definitely Hufflepuff :D

I've since come to the conclusion that I'm Hufflepuff.  Pottermore had something to do with it, but I'm not going to agree with the patronus I was given!  I've actually deleted my Pottermore account, since I have no feel for what they're trying to accomplish with the site, anymore. ^^;

Slytherin

Every quiz I have taken says Hufflepuff and I’m happy with it as long as it’s not Slytherin.

Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure?

Tonight the roll of the Sorting Hat will be played by MrA!

You could be great, you know, it’s all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that — no?

*waves at MrA and compski*

I was hoping for Hufflepuff.

I am in Gryffindor.

But I have gotten Slytherin before.

I'm hufflepuff.

How many times have you done the test?

yes Its like one of the biggest cliches in harry potter

lol The irony
