Hufflepuff.

I did the quiz yesterday, got distracted and forgot why I was taking it, and thus forgot to post. But it was above and beyond: Hufflepuff.

I suspected as much.

Your in-depth results are:

Gryffindor - 14  
Ravenclaw - 10  
Hufflepuff - 9  
Slytherin - 8

Funny. That’s almost exactly how I would have characterized myself.

Great quiz! I’ve seen some others, and this quiz’s author is right: the others all suck.

I woulda guessed Ravenclaw for myself, but apparently I’m too much of a softie for that:

Hufflepuff - 15  
Ravenclaw - 12  
Gryffindor - 10  
Slytherin - 6

I don’t know about me, but the ferret definitely belongs in Slytherin–perhaps as a mascot.

Another Hufflepuff – with Ravenclaw a few points behind. No surprise, really – I’m fairly bright, but basically a good-natured schlub.

> 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.

Definitely Slytherin. And even they’d be taken aback at the mischief I constantly plan.
