Maybe because both of the Shibblets are currently coursing through the HP books, last night I thought of which House they would be in at Hogwarts. We all agreed that the boy would probably be a Hufflepuff, and I decreed that my daughter would most likely be a Ravenclaw. At that age I’d have probably been in Hufflepuff as well, with an outside shot at Gryffindor, although in my decrepitude I’m more Slytherin material. ---

I have no idea, to be honest. Probably Ravenclaw since I seem to be like that. ---

There was an online test on this, and I got sorted into Ravenclaw. That seems to be the “brainiest” of the houses, so I didn’t mind. ---

According to the link, I’m Gryffindor! Maybe Harry and I could hang out. We could have all sorts of cool adventures. We could play practical jokes on Ron. Good times. My scores were really close together. I got an 11 for Gryff, 10 for Hufflepuff and ravenclaw, and 9 for slytherin. So maybe Harry wouldn’t want to hang around too much. Maybe I’d be a guy that got turned into a frog accidentally by Ron, and Harry had to change me back and I’d say “Whew, thanks Harry.” and that would be it. Or I’d be a reserve on the quidditch team. ---

> [@Ludy](#): > > [Here](http://www.thealmightyguru.com/reviews/harrypotter/docs/quiz-house.html) is a test. I was a Ravenclaw. That link puts me in Hufflepuff, like I guessed. But it was close. Maybe it explains why I saw my son as a Hufflepuff and my daughter as a Ravenclaw. 🙂 Hufflepuff - 13 Ravenclaw - 12 Gryffindor - 10 Slytherin - 6 ---

Slytherin which is pretty much what I’d have expected. Got to say though that Harry would probably have gotten on much better in Slytherin ---
