My daugter is a Hufflepuff but she is only 8. Hufflepuff - 12 Gryffindor - 9 Ravenclaw - 9 Slytherin - 9 ---

I’m a Hufflepuff! I’m sure Satchel from Get Fuzzy would be proud. Hufflepuff - 14 Ravenclaw - 12 Gryffindor - 11 Slytherin - 7 ---

Ravenclaw, with Hufflepuff coming in a close second. Glad that question is answered, I won’t have to change the colours on my scarf… ---

I don’t buy that quiz. However, I’d say there’s an 85% chance I’d be Ravenclaw, with an outside 15% of Hufflepuff. ---

Quiz doesn’t work for me. Which is too bad, because those Gryffindor scarfs are [snazzy](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00076XNAQ/sr=1-1/qid=1133571845/ref=sr_1_1/104-3299659-7410325?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance), especially the version from the latest movie. Though I’d look really silly wearing one, so I bought myself [this one](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006NGXWU/sr=1-3/qid=1133571845/ref=sr_1_3/104-3299659-7410325?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance) instead. See, I figure me wearing a Harry Potter scarf would wind up going down like [this](http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/11/16). ---

Ravenclaw by a narrow magin. Does this mean I’m well-rounded? Ravenclaw - 13 Hufflepuff - 12 Gryffindor - 12 Slytherin - 7 ---

Quiz didn’t work in Mozilla, but it worked in IE if you still have that browser around somehwere. You run across short-sighted folks like that from time to time. I assume the programmers were Slytherin. 😉 ---

I would have guessed Ravenclaw, but the quiz tells me: Gryffindor - 12 Ravenclaw - 11 Hufflepuff - 9 Slytherin - 9 And we know The Quiz is Always Right. 😉 ---

Gryffindor - 16 Slytherin - 11 Ravenclaw - 8 Hufflepuff - 5 I suppose I’m a bit like HP. Gryffindor, but with Slytherin potential. - Peter Wiggen ---

Gryffindor, but just barely; I’m really just as much a Slytherin and a Ravenclaw. Not much Hufflepuff. Makes sense. I’m lazy as hell, so I can’t be Hufflepuff. ---

Quiz doesn’t seem to work for me, but I always figured I’d be a Slytherin, just because of my college - to the other colleges in the university, we have an often well-deserved reputation for being rich, snobby, elitist, and steeped in bizarre, occasionally sinister traditions. ---

I’da guessed Ravenclaw, because I’m smart but chickenshit, but the hat says > [@](#): > > Gryffindor - 14 > Ravenclaw - 13 > Hufflepuff - 12 > Slytherin - 7 ---

Gryffindor, barely. Gryffindor - 11 Ravenclaw - 10 Slytherin - 10 Hufflepuff - 9 I would have guessed Ravenclaw. DD ---
