You can now go to [http://www.harrypotter.com](http://www.harrypotter.com) and get sorted by the Sorting Hat into one of the Hogwarts houses. I got Hufflepuff. How did it know? ---

It just goes to show you, it’s not enough to do a search. It’s not even enough to read the OP on search hits you get to see if somebody had already done it. You’ve got to read down the thread to see if the thing got turned into something it never started out as. 😃 Mods, feel free to lock this up. I’d see it as a personal favor. ---

That’s so sweet. 🙂 > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth_ > What the hell is a Hufflepuff? Like the hat says, **Ginger** , we’re “just and loyal,” “patient,” “true,” and “unafraid of toil.” Sounds just like us, doesn’t it? 😃 I’m beginning to think that sorting hat really knows its stuff. I mean, so far no Dopers have been put into Slytherin. 🙂 ---
