We’ve all done it. No matter how big or small of a fan you are, everyone takes the classic “What Hogwarts House are you In?” quiz. It is actually our God-given right as millennials to find out this information. It’s crucial to know which HP characters you would be hanging out with, and actually can tell you a great deal about your personality. With the approaching release of Fantastic Beasts, I have been getting back into my old HP-obsessive ways. This leads me to constantly think about things like “why can’t I have my own niffler?”, or “what house would Drake be in?”. I can’t answer the first question, unfortunately, but the second can be figured out through some research. Celebrities take those quizzes too, or the internet speculates on which they would be in, and here are some of the conclusions reached:
Hufflepuff
Often described as “hard-working, friendly, loyal and honest.” This house is often forgotten about, and considered the “rejects” or “misfits.” However, a closer look clearly proves this to be false – as Cedric Diggory is a spectacle all on his own.
- Drake
- Eddie Redmayne
- Khloé Kardashian
- Rupert Grint (hm…)
- Matthew Lewis (of course)
- Lady Gaga
- Josh Hutcherson
- Katy Perry
- Zooey Deschanel
- Leonardo DiCaprio
Slytherin
Rowling describes Slytherins as “shrewd, ambitious, clever and resourceful.” They usually receive a negative connotation, often referred to as the villians. Though they may be statistically inclined that way, it is unfair to summarize the whole house as such. Some great people have come from here, such as Snape.
- Kris Jenner
- Pitbull
- Dave Franco
- Macklemore
- Michael Cera
- Ariana Grande
- Nicki Minaj
- Victoria Beckham
- David Schwimmer
- Joe Jonas
Gryffindor
We all know them as “brave, courageous, chivalrous, daring and bold.” Likely the most well-known house, Gryffindor contains some crowd favorites. However, this is not to say it is better than others.
- Bonnie Wright (of course)
- Tom Felton (lol)
- America Ferrera
- Miley Cyrus
- Adele
- Chance the Rapper
- Amy Schumer
- Nick Offerman
- Matt Damon
- Justin Trudeau
Ravenclaw
Stereotypically seen as “clever, creative and possesses wisdom and wit.” Known for their smarts, Ravenclaws remain quite soft-spoken much like our Hufflepuff friends. Do not let them fool you.
- Taylor Swift
- Ryan Seacrest
- Ashton Kutcher
- Beyoncé
- Benedict Cumberbatch
- Kendrick Lamar
- Oprah Winfrey
- Tina Fey
- Lorde
- Stephen Colbert
There you have it: a bunch of information you have always secretly wondered about. If you’re like me, the best part you got out of this was Tom Felton being in Gryffindor and disappointing his entire family. Don’t know what house you are? Go find out at Pottermore.com
