Best Hogwarts Houses

The Top Ten

  1. Ravenclaw

    Ravenclaw House was founded by Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. Its emblematic animal is the eagle, and its colors are blue and bronze. The house is known for valuing intelligence, learning, and wit. The entrance to its common room requires solving a riddle rather than giving a password.

    This is my house, and I believe that maybe we need more Ravenclaws out there. We could solve so many problems, and people could choose more logical answers to problems.

    My house, Ravenclaw, is, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best house because we are accepting, intelligent, creative, quirky, and yes, even crazy. We don't hide our flaws like Gryffindor or Slytherin. We embrace them like the Hufflepuffs.

    Thank you for finally noticing and recognizing Ravenclaw as the best house! We are smart, cunning, and willing to learn. They break the rules at least 5x less than all the other houses.

  2. Slytherin

    Slytherin House was established by Salazar Slytherin and is represented by a serpent. The house colors are green and silver, and its common room is located in the dungeons under the Black Lake. Slytherin values ambition, resourcefulness, and cunning. It has produced a number of Dark witches and wizards, including Tom Riddle.

    THE BEST HOUSE. I don't get all the prejudice against this house. Our traits weren't evil, cruel, and mean, they were determined, ambitious, cunning, witty, and intelligent. THERE IS NOTHING BAD ABOUT THAT. And just because the symbol is a snake, snakes are misunderstood animals, just like this house is misunderstood. I'M a nice person and I'M in Slytherin.

    I felt perfectly fine with Gryffindor at first, but once I saw their attitudes that every single person that gets sorted into Slytherin is bad and that they're better than everyone else, I started to hate the house. Slytherin isn't the evil house as everyone calls it. It's just the house for those who want to work hard and succeed.

  3. Hufflepuff

    Hufflepuff House was created by Helga Hufflepuff and is symbolized by a badger. Its house colors are yellow and black, and the common room is located near the kitchens. Hufflepuff values hard work, loyalty, and fair play. Students sorted into this house are accepted based on inclusive criteria rather than narrow or specific traits.

    Although I am a Ravenclaw, I'll try to support my fellow Hogwarts house and make it sound intellectual because the smarter you sound and spell, the more convincing it'll seem. Hufflepuffs are said to be kind, and that is a strength we should all embrace, rather than take for mere weakness. Come on, we're better than that. They are also patient, a skill not every human being has learned to master. I, myself, could do with some crash courses on how to be more patient. Plus, they are humble and gentle creatures, and allow others to move at their own pace.

    I am friends with two Hufflepuffs, and while even they can grow a bit stubborn, they are nice and warm-hearted. J.K. Rowling herself actually stated she is part Hufflepuff. If you're still not convinced, go onto Pottermore and check out the Hufflepuff invitation - it'll change your perspective on being a Hufflepuff. Also, Tonks was one. With Hufflepuffs like Tonks and that one lady who built Hogsmeade, you can never go wrong.

    By the way, it's so tacky when you use slang and spell things incorrectly thinking it's cool. Sorry, those were Ravenclaw instincts.

  4. Gryffindor

    Gryffindor House was founded by Godric Gryffindor and is symbolized by a lion. Its colors are scarlet and gold, and the common room is situated in one of the castle's towers. The house places emphasis on bravery, courage, and chivalry. It has produced many notable members, including Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore.

    Gryffindor is my favorite in the movies but is not the best. They come in at #2 as they have one of, if not the best, wizards to ever exist, which is Harry Potter.

    I mean, who wouldn't pick Gryffindor? It was the protagonist's house, and the other houses weren't fully detailed in the books as much as Slytherin and Gryffindor.

    Go Team Gryffindor! We're awesome and a million times better than Slytherin! Slytherin should be last because who would like an extremely mean teacher as our homeroom?
