This Sorting Quiz Will Tell You

Which Hogwarts House You
Truly Belong In
There's nothing hidden in your head this sorting
quiz can't see.

by Ellie Bate, Paul Curry

1928 comments

It is, perhaps, the most important

question that a young millennial can
ask — "What is my Hogwarts house?"

Warner Bros.

No, none of us will ever attend Hogwarts, but

we can dream.

But we all contain multitudes, and it

can feel like one single house doesn't
encapsulate your whole personality,
so here's a quiz that's a little more
specific...

BuzzFeed

Answer the following questions find out exactly

what percentage you are from each house!

You’ve made it to Hogwarts,

which means you’ve already
bought a wand from Ollivander’s.
What material is at its core?

Phoenix Feather

Dragon Heartstring

Unicorn Hair

During the end-of-year exams,

you notice that one of your
classmates was using an
enchanted quill. You come top of
the class anyway, but they are
second. What do you do?

Tell the professor immediately –

cheating is wrong, no matter what.

Nothing, but if I hadn't come top of

the class, I'd definitely tell the
professor.

Encourage the other student to

admit what they'd done to the
professor.

Give them a high five for managing

to sneak the quill into the exam.

You would be most hurt if a

person called you...

Weak

Ignorant

Unkind

Boring

You're locked in a duel with a

skilled opponent. They fire an
unknown spell at you, and you
shout…

Expelliarmus!

Protego!

Stupefy!

Crucio!

It's your fifth year at Hogwarts,

and you've just received a Howler
from your parents. What for?

Sneaking into the Forbidden

Forest at night on a dare.

Getting caught cheating in my

Divination O.W.L.

Being put in detention after I was

caught in the library after hours.

Nothing! I'd never do anything to

warrant a Howler.

Which of these Dumbledore

quotations speaks to you?

"Pity the living, and above all,

those who live without love."

"Words are, in my not-so-humble

opinion, our most inexhaustible
source of magic."

"It matters not what someone is

born, but what they grow to be."

"It does not do to dwell on dreams

and forget to live."

Which of these most accurately

describes your relationship with
your closest friends?

I love surrounding myself with

people – the more friends I have, the
better!

I have a few very close friends that

I would trust with my life.

I tend to be wary around new

people, so don't make new friends
often.

I find myself becoming friends with

people who can help me to succeed.

Which of your skills are you most

proud of?

My ability to absorb new

information.

My ability to make new friends.

My ability to get what I want.

My ability to keep secrets.

The first Quidditch match of the

season is approaching, and you
can't wait to get involved. What
role are you playing?

Seeker. I want the glory!

Chaser. I like to be involved, and

work as part of the team.

Beater. I like having all that power.

I'll be in the crowd, making sure

supporter morale is high!

You're allowed a pet at Hogwarts:

an owl, a cat, or a toad. Which do
you bring?

Owl

Cat

Toad

Nothing. I can't be trusted to look

after a pet!

It's Saturday, you've finished your

homework, and you have some
free time. You decide to spend
some time away from your
common room. Where do you go?

The Forbidden Forest

The library

The kitchens

The Room of Requirement

What would you see in the Mirror

of Erised?

Myself, surrounded by riches.

Myself, surrounded by my loving

family and friends.

Myself, knowledgable above all.

Myself, experiencing a marvellous

adventure.

Which of these magical events

would you most like to
experience?

The Triwizard Tournament

The Quidditch World Cup

The Yule Ball

Christmas at Hogwarts

You're having trouble mastering a

new spell, and you've decided to
ask for help. Who do you go to?

My professor, of course.

My house ghost.

My smartest friend.

The library — I'll figure it out

myself.

Choose a Deathly Hallow.

The Elder Wand

The Resurrection Stone

The Cloak of Invisibility

Which path do you intend to

follow after leaving Hogwarts?

I'd join the Ministry – I want to

make a difference in the world.

I think I'd travel for a while before

committing to a career.

I'd settle down and start a family as

soon as possible!

I'd continue to work hard in order

to achieve as much success as
possible.

And finally: We know that the

Sorting Hat takes into account
your preferences. So which
Hogwarts house do you feel you
identify with most closely?

Gryffindor

Hufflepuff

Ravenclaw

Slytherin

What’s Your Hogwarts House Percentage?

You Are 40% Slytherin, 25%

Gryffindor, 18% Hufflepuff, and
17% Ravenclaw!

You are relentless in your pursuit of success,

making you a perfect fit for Slytherin, but your
willingness to take risks makes you somewhat
compatible with the typical traits of Gryffindor
house. People who don’t know you well are often
intimidated by your reserved demeanour, and you
have very few close friends. You are loyal to few,
and definitely prioritise personal success over close
relationships.

Your slight compatibility with Hufflepuff house

suggests a deep love and appreciation for those
close to you, which you may keep hidden for fear of
being hurt.

You Are ALL THE THINGS!

So, you're 27% Hufflepuff, 27% Gryffindor, 24%
Ravenclaw, and 22% Slytherin! You seem to be
an almost perfect combination of all four
houses, which is incredibly rare – you’re equal
in your intelligence, bravery, loyalty, and
ambition. As we know, though, the...
