The Only Hogwarts Quiz That Matters

by L
This quiz was inspired by an eye-opening fan theory. The link is below. 


1. What do you value most? 

A. Bravery 
B. Cunning
C. Wit
D. Kindness

If You Picked A: You are in Gryffindor! Like The Golden Trio (Harry, Ron, and Hermione), you value bravery! 

If You Picked B: You are in Slytherin! Like Draco, you value cunning, which means the action of doing something slyly! 

If You Picked C: You Are In Ravenclaw! Like Cho, you value wit, which means to act intelligently!

If You Picked D: You Are In Hufflepuff! Like Cedric, you value kindness! 

I commented on L's post, and this is what I said:

This could be true, but I have a friend who was sorted into Ravenclaw and trust me, as far as I know, she does not value being smart as much as having fun and being fashionable. Her friends and interests are absolutely more important than anything intellectual, and school disgusts her.

I was sorted into Hufflepuff myself, and I truly do value kindness over everything else, along with relating to Hufflepuff immensely.

I believe that the sorting hat is like an artificial intelligence with crystal ball abilities. We all know that Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin were incredible wizards and witches, and I believe that they possessed Gryffindor's hat (the sorting hat) with the capabilities to see to the innermost parts of the student's mind and soul, as well as into their future. The hat can see the student's values, actions, future doings, thoughts, desires, and yearnings, thus making an extremely educated guess as to which House the student would benefit from best.

Of course, I am not talking about the Pottermore quiz. I am talking about the legitimate Sorting Hat from the books.

The quiz is an educated guess because J.K. Rowling knows what each thing in Pottermore is exactly. She is the queen and creator of the Potterverse, and so since she created the digital quiz, she and her programmed answers, can make a very educated guess as to what House you should be in.

Although, I do think the digital quiz would benefit from an opinion question, like "Which House to do you think you belong in?" or "Which House's values do you value the most or value best?"

All in all, I truly believe and trust the choices the Pottermore Sorting Hat Quiz makes. 

In the Bible, in John 7:24, it says: "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

It also says in James 4:12: "There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?"

Although I believe the Pottermore test is just for fun, as is Harry Potter in general, I don't judge people on which Houses they get. I am not House-ist, as a friend of mine said. I don't care if you are Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw. Your House does not judge who you are! It just shows where you would be if Hogwarts was real, and it isn't, so no need to worry. :-)

What do you think of my comment? What do you think of the theory itself? Where do you stand on the theory of the Sorting Hat? I'd love to hear from you! Please comment!

Did you recently take the almighty Pottermore Sorting Hat Quiz , and receive.... Hufflepuff? Maybe you're feeling bad, not sure what Hufflepuff is all about. Maybe you're feeling shame because you were put in the "leftovers" house. Maybe you're feeling confused, because you grew up as a Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, or Slytherin, and now it feels like you're whole life has been a lie. That's what I'm here for. As a Proud Hufflepuff, I have gone through this same thing. My experience was confusion. I was a newborn Potterhead, already obsessed, and so excited to find out which House I was in. I was expecting to be a Ravenclaw because I already had the stereotype of being a nerd. I identified with the Ravenclaw attributes of creativity and intelligence and was wholly expecting to be Ravenclaw. I got Hufflepuff. I was not exactly ashamed, I was not feeling bad. I am not a stereotypical person, and I am not house-ist. As a pledged reader of the seven Har...

The Hufflepuff Welcome Message

This content was copied from the official Hufflepuff page after you are sorted on the Pottermore website. This is the link, but I am not sure if it will work because it is through my profile. "Congratulations! I’m Prefect Gabriel Truman, and I’m delighted to welcome you to HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE. Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves. Our house colours are yellow and black, and our common room lies one floor below the ground, on the same corridor as the kitchens. Now, there are a few things you should know about Hufflepuff house. First of all, let’s deal with a perennial myth about the place, which is that we’re the least clever house. WRONG. Hufflepuff is certainly the least boastful house, but we’ve produced just as many brilliant witches and wizards as any other. Want proof? Look up Grogan Stump, one of the most popular Mi...
