Ranking the Harry Potter Houses, But in the Most Obscure Ways

The opinions expressed in this article are the writer’s own and do not reflect the views of Her Campus.
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Millersville chapter.

Recently, my friends and I have been on a bit of a personality test kick. Harry Potter houses especially have become a topic of many conversations and we have not failed to acutely judge anyone that is persuaded to tell us their house. Before you go on, might I suggest you take the quiz to accurately follow along?

So, from a truly cunning Slytherin, may the odds of your rankings be ever in your favor.

best to introduce to mom
  1. Hufflepuff: Duh, they are so sweet.
  2. Ravenclaw: Mom will love the academic.
  3. Gryffindor: May put up a front, but once down, Mom will love them.
  4. Slytherin: Most likely to vanish in the middle of dinner.
best to join a book club with
  1. Ravenclaw: Will talk for hours about several books.
  2. Slytherin: Determination to be right will get the best of them.
  3. Hufflepuff: Will just agree with whatever you say.
  4. Gryffindor: May get a little heated amidst the discussion.
best to go on an adventure with
  1. Gryffindor: They are not known as brave for no reason.
  2. Hufflepuff: Even if they do not always participate, they are great company.
  3. Slytherin: Ambition will take over.
  4. Ravenclaw: They may have done a little too much research on the adventure.
best to have on your side in an argument
  1. Slytherin: Determination will win this battle, right or wrong.
  2. Ravenclaw: Will somehow know every waking detail about the argument topic.
  3. Gryffindor: Will never pass up defending a friend.
  4. Hufflepuff: Will have a response… in 2-3 business days.
best to have impulsively cut your hair
  1. Gryffindor: Will courageously make the first chop, ignoring any and all doubts.
  2. Slytherin: Does not care to do it because it is not their hair.
  3. Hufflepuff: Has a hard time saying no.
  4. Ravenclaw: Will take the impulsivity out of the situation which dissuades the person.
best to attend a concert with
  1. Hufflepuff: Will check in and match your energy all night.
  2. Gryffindor: Is here for a good time and not a long time.
  3. Ravenclaw: Will know every lyric and have the set list memorized.
  4. Slytherin: May potentially want to dip halfway through the night.
best to have late night talks with
  1. Hufflepuff: It is the late hours that bring out the true feelings of a Hufflepuff.
  2. Gryffindor: Can go on and on into the early hours.
  3. Ravenclaw: Great listeners, although they may be faking.
  4. Slytherin: Will go to bed a few hours in.
Best to go to for advice
  1. Ravenclaw: Incredibly knowledgeable and honest.
  2. Gryffindor: Has the nerve to tell it how it is.
  3. Slytherin: Has no problem hurting your feelings for the greater good.
  4. Hufflepuff: Good intentions, but they may poorly lie to your face.

I would like to think I was fair in my rankings, but feel free to strike up an argument. I will warn you though, I will either win or disappear before admitting defeat.

HCXO, Gabby
