Top 10 HP Characters Who Could Have Been Sorted into a Different Hogwarts House

I have a few theories on why Hermione wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw. 1) it's not always about the traits you have, but the traits you value when being sorted. 2) She doesn't seem to think she's as smart as everyone thinks she is. She is always freaking out about failing. 3) She has just as many if not more Griffindor traits. 4) Despite having a good mind, she doesn't really have the spirit of a Ravenclaw. Like Luna's father said in Deathly Hallows. (Hermione is) "Not unintelligent, but painfully limited, narrow, closed-minded." For her if it's written in a book it's written in stone, otherwise it's not true. Personally, I think the reason she was so bitter of the Half-blood princes book was because she was jealous. This was someone who could not only learn from the books, but build on it. Someone who would experiment, innovate, try something new and original: something we've never seen her even attempt.

[@lilyrose0116]

I've always said that people don't understand or misrepresent Ravenclaw and our traits. Sure we value wisdom but it's more the trait of one's eagerness to acquire knowledge and information. It's not about being the most intelligent but your thirst to understand the world around you and to think outside of what is given to you. This is why Lockhart was a Ravenclaw. He wasn't exceptionally smart but he found the loopholes and excelled at what interested him most. Hermione wasn't as accepting to knowledge that wasn't "hard facts."

And maybe sometimes it could be being sorted into that house would help you build those other traits up more. Being sorted into that house doesn’t always mean you’ll fit into it or become successful in that house. Being sorted into ravenclaw she would’ve been too much in her comfort zone. Gryffndore helped her more with teamwork and how to be team player and how to rely on others

[@marcelinkatili7629]

One of the few things I dislike about Harry Potter is how the members of Slytherin House are represented and depicted in such a negative light. From Hagrid's statement in the first book to some of this video's speculations (i.e. Lockhart and Pettigrew, two of the few non-Slytherin antagonists, possessing many Slytherin traits), I think the books should've had more Slytherins who were outright good (maybe a Slytherin counterpart to Hermione who enjoys helping other students with their homework) or gave Slytherin House more positive traits instead of more morally neutral ones.

[@jackscrivens9520]

Snape could have fit in any of the 4 houses. He is smart, inventing numerous spells. He was also a hard worker, learning everything he could during his education, and he was loyal to Lily. Of course, he was brave, being a double agent. And he was sorted into Slytherin, so he fits them all.

Harry is very smart in the books but the movies made him dumb to make Hermione shine.

[@danielramos6325]

I know right 😂😂😂😂

[@wvu05]

I think the main reason why so many people seem to be put in the wrong house is because people are put into the house that has the traits that they _value,_ not necessarily the ones that they possess. The moment Hermione says that she is nothing but books and cleverness and that there are more important things, you know that she is not a Ravenclaw. Of the ones listed, I honestly think that Percy is the one who was most definitely sorted into the wrong house. If he wasn't a Weasley, he would have been a Slytherin.

[@knata78]

I agree about Percy. He definitely is ambitious to a fault and will choose power and advancement over his family.

[@Allthingsasian]

Also because they’re like 11 years old. Your personality isn’t fully developed at that age which is why I think many characters later on in life as they get older and develop more would be suited to different houses.

Despite being a Ravenclaw, I always felt that Hufflepuff would have been a more suitable house for Luna. She is known for having a very kind and non-judgemental personality. She's also always full of positivity and does her upmost to cheer people up like a good friend should. She's also very loyal to the people she cares about and has a strong moral compass. That was why she joined the DA and fought with the Wizarding community against Voldemort because it was the right thing to do and because her friends needed her. At the very least she ended up marrying a Hufflepuff in Rolf Scamander (Newt's grandson). Interestingly enough Neville who could have also being sorted into joined Hufflepuff married Hannah Abbot who was from that house.

[@Laramaria2]

Something I've noticed in my most recent reading of Harry Potter is how the houses, more than line with personality, lines with personal growth. Ron was afraid of many things, but as a Gryffindor, he found strength to fight no matter his fears and became truly great, finding his purpose and bravery. Hermione is truly smart and loves to learn, yet she is headstrong and close-minded, borderline rude and she was able to develop her emotional, social and mental skills, becoming her best self, ignoring the most wise decisions and becoming a fighter to her core. Not sure Ravenclaw would help her blossom as well as she did in Gryffindor... I love this discussions, it just shows how deep Harry Potter is!!!! I love this series 😍 And your videos are awesome 👌🏻 💙

No Gryfindor’s best for them

[@malcontent7]

My theory on the sorting hat is that it doesn’t necessarily sort students based on the traits you possess, but also considers the ones they value or aspire to. Like if it needs a deciding factor, it takes the students desires into account. That’s how you get cowards who wish they were brave (Pettigrew) in Gryffindor, and fools who wish they were smarter (Lockhart) in Ravenclaw. This would be especially prevalent in cases like Hermione, who despite being smart enough to be in Ravenclaw, but aspires to be courageous, ends up in Gryffindor.

[@Ori_Kohav]

Sirius could also fit in Hufflepuff, mainly for his loyalty to his friends, especially to James. Someone theorized that the animal you turn into when becoming an animagus is not really a choice, but a reflection of what you are, and Sirius being a dog animagus indeed reflects his loyalty.

[@questrequested9171]

yeah, Peter being a rat makes sense as well then, but what would James being a stag mean then? 🤔

[@cazzabojangles]

@@questrequested9171 I was intrigued by this, so I've done a little bit of research, and James's patronus being a stag makes a lot of sense. Stags are often seen as signs of masculinity, maturity, instinct and royalty, (with the antlers on its head being a crown). I think this makes sence- he's mainly known as the father of Harry Potter, for running round with his boys and being lowkey sexist, which would be the masculinity, with the maturity being his development from his teenage years as well as his position as a father. For royalty, this could potentially relate to Gryffindor, where they're shown to hold similar values to medieval knights, to fight bravely, act chivalrously towards women/ the enemy and nerve on the battlefeild. Also, in Christianity, they're known as "who tramples and destroys the devil", which could reflect how he stood up to Voldemort, where this intereaction also relates to instinct- he didn't have his wand, but he still tried to protect his wife and baby. Similarly, in Greek/ Roman/ Celtic (it's quite mixed up) mythology, they're a symbol for the goddess Artemis, (god of hunting and fertility) meaning "the powers in nature that are not easily subdued", with this again linking to his paternal instincts.

[@SabaKhan-zp5of]

yeah and also the loyalty to remus when the maurauders found out he was a werewolf

[@Ori_Kohav]

@@cazzabojangles I think the royalty part has more to do with his father, Fleamont Potter, who became famous for developing Sleekeazy’s hair potion. James did show some pride in his father on the train before his first year, saying he wants to be in Gryffindor like his father.

[@penguinbeans]

I agree that siruis could have been in Hufflepuff and I think Remus could have also been in Hufflepuff he's the kindest werewolf I remember seeing in and book, movie, and show.

[@sunny30675]

8:19 absolutely agree with you there, I've always thought Dumbledore with his cunningness and manipulative skills could have been sorted into Slytherin. Seeing Fantastic beast's Qilin bowing down to him because his heart is the purest made no sense to me.

[@brettlarch8050]

What I’m wondering is why they don’t offer students the chance to re-sort. Third year of Hogwarts they get to start taking elective classes and go to hogsmade on the weekends. What if during the third year, they could choose to re-sort and the sorting hat can decide if they’re “grown out” their house in a way? Even Dumbledore has said, “You know sometimes I think we sort too soon.”

[@StarryEyed0590]

Why would they want to, though? Like, we fans tend to treat the Houses as a personality test, but for the students, it's their entire social circle. You live, sleep, study, eat with your House day in and day out. You are highly encouraged become invested in your House's collective success. Your House is, in return, supposed to have your back when it comes to the other Houses. Imagine that in Year Three, Hermione decided to resort and became a Ravenclaw. She would have to move to a new dorm, no longer interact with any of her close friends on a daily basis, wouldn't know any of the passwords, wouldn't know any of the social cues and customs. She'd go from being respected and well-thought-of within the Gryffindor circles to being a complete outsider and interloper in the Ravenclaw spaces.

[@Doomzdeh]

Because it defeats the purpose of building deep connections and bonds within your house. Which house you are in doesn’t particularly matter, as the Sorting Hat presumably sees personal growth and likeminded people in that house for you, regardless of whether you fit into other houses as well.

I reckon Ron probably asked to be in Gryffindor, since his whole family went in Gryffindor and it is considered (rather falsely) to be the best house

[@amandafelix-amadi5334]

You reckon wrong. He was brave so he got sorted into the house for the brave, period.

[@claudiag8823]

I agree with you that Gryffindor is falsely considered to be the best house. For my tastes, a lot of Gryffindors are too reckless which is not bravery or daring but stupidity. The Marauders, for example, or at least parts of them, were pretty arrogant, and I think that plays into that Gryffindor is the best house belief that is suggested to us in the books.

[@bellaknightR597]

​@@claudiag8823I agree, I think they're overrated, I'm a Slytherin BTW, what's your house?

[@alexandrazisk7091]

Cedric is very brave, but I think his Hufflepuff traits such as his fair play are also key parts of his character. I've read that the sorting doesn't just base your house placement on your own qualities, but also the ones you value. Ultimately, I think that's why Cedric was put in Hufflepuff. We see in both book three and four that he values fair play, a major Hufflepuff trait.

[@the-berries-and-cream-dude]

yes! i always felt he was also a very loyal person. after harry told him about the task was gonna involved dragons, he saw harry as an ally and a friend and continued to helped him and return the favor in other tasks.

[@vide0lover]

One thing I like thinking about with Cedric is that in the 3rd book (before we are even really introduced to him) Hufflepuff and Gryffindor had a quidditch match and Harry got attacked by the dementors and fell. While that happened Cedric caught the snitch, winning the game. but after Cedric found out Harry fell, he immediately asked if they can do a rematch when Harry was better. Cedric was all about being kind and fair.

Maybe a younger pettigrew showed some early signs of bravery or some other trait. Of course as he grew older he obviously didn’t reach his potential. Although in the books he did save Harry which would cost him his life

[@WoffleDog]

I think it's a case of the fact that the sorting hat doesn't just look at qualities possessed, it see's your thoughts and desires as well. Peter was obsessed with James Potter, it's possible that he really wanted to be brave, chivalrous, etc but struggled to exhibit those attributes.

[@Loaf_of_Cat]

Well he was actually brave enough to betray the most powerful sorcerer of all time

[@agus5856]

I been thinking the same. I think Peter is such a underrated character, there's a lot of history around him that we don't know and I think there's most be something in there that make him change that way (I'm not justify him, I'm just saying). But, anyways, I don't think he's dead was something "brave" he just felt guilty for everything he done to James (just like Snape with Lily) but by far that doesn't make any of them brave

[@hugoyebra2475]

It would of been interesting to see this story played out with harry having a friend or mentor from every house. That way the houses all get more a bit more respect instead of most people, not all, instantly rooting for Gryffindor.

[@leerez9251]

I agree, but Harry had a Hufflepuff friend, Tonks obviously. Both Tonks and Cedric are almost as respected as Gryffindors, and so is Severus Snape, who was never Harry's friend, just harry's least favorite professor. But that's only three people, and I wish the other three houses could be rooted for and respected more. Hufflepuffs are not weak and Ravenclaws don't only care about education and Slytherins are not always bad. I didn't instantly root for Gryffindor, I was rooting for Ravenclaw in the very beginning of the first book (I looked on google to see what the houses were). Then I started rooting for Slytherin once I made it to the end of the first book because I love green and Herpetelogy plus I seem to like the characters that have change of hearts. ALSO, (alert for big offense to J. K. Rowling) how can Harry Potteh say 'sLyThErIns are GoOd' to Albus in the beginning of The Cursed Child when J. K. Rowling didn't even put any good examples of very good Slytherins?? That was a very sudden thing to hear. :O

[@krisynthiagomez5883]

Severus Snape would have also been a good fit for Ravenclaw. He prized intelligence and learning above anything else, he was creative, and he certainly had wit. Also I think he had Gryffindor traits even as a child, he had nerve and was bold shown when he confronted Lily about being a witch, he was brave in the fact that he didn’t fear being different and stood up for himself when he was being insulted and fought to get to his wand even as James and Sirius were magically restraining him, and even waited outside the enemy camp to try to apologize to a girl he insulted.

IIRC he was a hat stall which means the sorting hat couldn't figure out what house he belonged to. So it's likely since he befriended Remus on the train who got sorted to Gryffindor, he wanted to be with his friend so asked the hat to be placed there. That or maybe he wasn't the same coward when he was 11 since a lot could have happen over the year. Perhaps at the time he aspired to be brave and a hero but later realized that it was impossible for him.

[@fedeeeeee]

@@vikkran401 it wasn't impossible at all. Look at Neville in the first books, does he look like a guy capable of giving the Carrows hell for a whole year, a guy who could stand up to Voldemort himself and pull the sword of Gryffondor out of the sorting hat? Maybe if Peter wasn't friend with 2 of the best and most popular kids in their year who always protected him and basically stopped every chance of Peter standing up for himself, he would have become a true Gryffondor. Plus, he was a great wizard, probably better than most of the Death Eaters, so I can picture him as a brave member of the Order

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think she is very Ravenclaw. All of her knowledge comes from reading and studying enough that it sticks. She is very closed minded and not creative or original, which are Ravenclaw's biggest traits aside from intelligence. She is very brave and has a deep desire to do the right thing (spew for example) and can be stubborn. She wants to learn enough to have her moment when Ron and Harry need her.

*A realization moment* The Brave people are the likes of Ron and Neville, the one who is able to get over thier fears and I didn't get the impression that Harry was like them, he's definitely bold and fearless but his behavior and his way of taking risks and not caring make me think that the source of his audacity is that He doesn't care whether he lives or dies He lived for 10 years hearing that he is worthless , so no wonder his character is indifferent to the amount of terror and danger in front of him *this is really sad because this a trait he has in common with Sirius*

[@zyuukii]

I agree, I kinda got a bit irritated when movie flame said Ron wasn’t that brave. In chamber of secrets he’s deathly afraid of spiders but he thugs it out to help harry. Bravery doesn’t equal fearlessness

[@bellowingsilence]

What could have been more clearly explained in the series, but is made pretty clear there, is that what one *values* weighs heavily into house selection, sometimes as much or even more than one’s apparent traits. Hermione, for example, values bravery even more highly than intelligence (and she tells us as much.) Neville admires bravery above all else as well. Both Hermione and Neville aspire to be brave, and become brave. Being in Gryffindor works out for them in this sense. Slughorn’s Slytherin traits are milder than many, but he *highly* values ambition in others. I suppose the dark side of this is Wormtail, who valued bravery entirely because of his own lack of it, because he felt like he needed strong, brave people around to protect him. This meant that Peter was naturally inclined to want to be among people like Gryffindors, and thus that’s where the hat put him. This character trait ultimately overshadows everything else in Peter’s personality, and for better or for worse, his experiences as a Gryffindor help his personal development as well. He learns to lessen his cowardice, and cope with it (in pretty horrible ways) by living among the brave. It was basically the best house, for him, that he could have been sorted into.

[@wvu05]

Indeed. That is why it's a little frustrating to see the arguments based on the surface. Of the ones listed, I could really only think of one that was definitely put in the wrong house: Percy. (Although it might be my Ravenclaw bias, but I think that the argument for Lockhart as a Slytherin was pretty strong one, because a fame chaser like him does seem to value traits of the green and silver.) Most of the others can clearly be seen as valuing the traits of their actual houses.

[@kertanrajpal6108]

@@wvu05 to be honest, I never really questioned Lockhart's placement... he considered himself smart (out of ego) and presented himself outwardly as such. So when he was sorted, he thought ok Ravenclaw = smart, chose it out of ego, and the hat complied, maybe thinking that he would do better in a house that prized learning instead of just skating by. His teachers said he was actually very clever naturally, but never made something of himself because he was lazy and didn't want to learn much. As for Percy, his family values and wanting to be brave like his brothers and parents might have played a role. I think he also had a lot of Slytherin traits, but chose Gryffindor traits instead because his family wasn't really the most accepting of his drive sometimes. When your entire family is in the same house, sticking out from them might be very awkward.

[@wvu05]

@@kertanrajpal6108 The way you worded it kinda sounds like you're thinking the student chose the house. The closest to that I can see to a student choosing is Harry not wanting Slytherin. Neville begged for Hufflepuff to take the pressure off, but the hat refused. I wasn't saying that I thought Lockhart was wrong, just that next to Percy, he was the closest to it. The traits that Percy valued are clearly Slytherin traits. That one just seems like a case of the hat putting him where he was because of his name.

sirius black should be in hufflepuff, he sacrificed his life for harry, but he also has a trait of slytherin along with james

[@paulyb7267]

And here is why you are definitely wrong and why James was a true Gryffindor through and through (he was sorted straight into Gryffindor before the hat touched his head): *- He was brave:* Along with his wife, Lily, he repeatedly acted against Voldemort to such an extent that Trelawney’s prophecy specifically stated that they’d defied The Dark Lord three times. Then, when Voldemort did find them, James tried to hold him off so that Lily could escape with Harry. *- He was daring:* Take the way he and Sirius set themselves and Peter Pettigrew the task of becoming Animagi so they could accompany Lupin on his wolfish forays. True, Lupin called those little escapades ‘the best times of my life’, so it was clearly an act of support that meant a lot to him. But the fact this also required a lot of rebellion would’ve likely attracted James to the task too. Sirius, who was also no stranger to rebellion, later compared Harry to James (Sirius replied: The risk would’ve been what made it fun for James.’) - even though by Marauder standards, Harry was, comparatively, a lot more careful. A risk-taker with a dislike of authority and an appetite for troublemaking. Sounds like quite a few Gryffindors we know. *- He was chivalrous:* He considered it the greatest insult to mistrust his friends and stood up for Lily when Snape called her a mudblood. *- He was loyal:* His closest friends were those many people would turn away from. He also helped his friends more than anyone else in his friend group, giving Sirius a second home and financially supporting Remus. *- He was arrogant:* At least at age 15. The most popular boy in school, the most talented, and the Quidditch star. Of course James had a big head. The only other thing to say in mitigation is that James was certainly not the only Gryffindor whose bravery came with a healthy side-order of arrogance. Sirius was almost as bad; Dumbledore, in his youth, was arrogant enough to think he and Gellert Grindelwald might unite the Deathly Hallows and so conquer death; even Harry had, as Hermione called it, ‘a bit of a - saving-people thing…’ which often led him to ignore other people’s advice. *- He was reckless:* Another Gryffindor-esque trait Harry and his father shared was a tendency to act before thinking. Not as bad as Sirius, but James never thought about consequences. He just did what he wanted, the worst was running the grounds with a werewolf. Lupin said there were near misses. When Sirius told Harry James enjoyed taking risks, he said it with a sense of pride, but such actions usually come with consequences. A patronus/animagus (which we CANNOT choose) can only take the form of the animal that represents our true personality and inner traits. There is a reason why James's animagus and patronus took the form of a stag (a male deer); as the kings of the forest, stags are considered noble and they symbolize/represent *leadership, courage, pride, masculinity, nobility, power, freedom, purity (not unlike the unicorn), stamina, virility, grace, instincts, maturity, regeneration, and spiritual enlightenment.* Both James and Harry had these stag-like traits, and most of these stag traits were Gryffindor traits. You may not like him, but like his son, James certainly had lion-esque energy that flowed through to Harry.

[@Yukari_MAiG]

Watching this I think it would be really amusing if the main trio actually comes from different houses. Gryffindor/Slytherin + Hufflepuff + Ravenclaw. I feel that could have been really fun to see. Though it could make story progression kinda difficult.

[@MaryC861]

My speculation for Peter Pettigrew not being a Slytherin; is when he was first sorted as a kid maybe he "did" value more of the Gryffindor traits. But when he got older and more corrupt his values changed to be more and more like Slytherin's. Which could actually line up well with Dumbledore's quote "Perhaps we sort too soon".

[@ah63513]

The important thing to take note of is that the sorting hat doesn't sort you by what traits you have but by what you value. In the case of Peter petergrew he definitely was not brave or anything that a Gryffindor should be but he valued those traits. That's why he looked up to Sirius and James so much. They were his heroes.

[@The_Christian_Swiftie]

Neville would've made a good Hufflepuff. Did you know he asked the Sorting Hat to put him in Hufflepuff, but the Sorting Hat denied this request?

[@aylafree3881]

I remember reading somewhere that the Sorting Hat put you where you had the most potential. Or at least tried too when you weren't asking to be put somewhere specific lol. Peter Pettigrew had the potential to be brave but he chose not to. Gilderoy Lockhart had the potential to be extremely intelligent but was lazy and entitled, just expecting people to already know who he was because his mother spoiled him. It's really quite fun to think about various characters and why they were put in the house they were.

[@marshallburlew7549]

I get why Rowling put all 3 of our main trio in Gryifyndor as she wanted to keep them pretty close, especially seeing how at the end of the Sorcerers Stone that they're deeds along with Nevile's is what won them the House Cup, but I honestly think she relinqushed a golden opportunity to add more drama and delima if she had all 3 of them in different houses. I would have had Harry still in Gryfindor, Ron in Hufflepuff, and Hermione in Ravenclaw.

A lot of characters have traits of other houses. But if I am not mistaken it also takes in consideration what they value more. They might have more traits from Slytherin, but value their traits of Gryffindor. Its never black and white. Just cause they check more boxes in 1 house doesn’t mean they belong there if they value their other traits more I believe. Love the vid. It is fun to speculate what could have been :)

[@lucygonciarz7763]

I feel like that Tonks would fit into Gryffindor nicely as she was very brave, as she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and died as she wanted to help fight too. She was chivalrous as she wanted to help Molly and protect Harry. And also, she was an auror and you have to be quite brave for that. She is very loyal and hardworking. That's probably why she is in Hufflepuff. By the way, what Hogwarts house are you in Movieflame?

[@spunky9012]

Y'know I can't help but think the Sorting hat plays some kind of important role in setting up certain possibilities by putting them in certain houses like if Snape was sorted into Gryffindor he most likely wouldn't have been able to get so close to voldemort and then events would have played out very differently etc etc.

[@claudiag8823]

It's also possible that the Marauders would have been a tad nicer to him. Sirius and James would have probably still despised him, but because of house loyalties, they would have treated him better. That could have taken a lot of Snape's resentment away. He also, probably, wouldn't have slithered into the Death Eater circle as a Gryffindor (Yes, Pettigrew became one as well, but only because he is a weak character; Snape is stronger, and if he'd have had more support, he would have stayed on the side of light).

Love your vids, this is my take on your picks: 10- Lockhart: 100% 9- Ron: disagree, Ron lacks empathy and he is Lazy, the opposite of hard worker. He even quit the horcrux quest when he realized how hard it was. He is brave, like when he sacrificed himself on the chessboard, always ready to fight Malfoy, etc. 8. Harry: The only (But definitive) quality that disqualify him as Slithering, is that he will always put everyone before him, his willingness to sacrifice himself, which happened at the deathly hallows. 7. Snape: Disagree. Slughorn said Slitherings are brave too, but not stupid, that's the definition of Snape. Even in his last moment he did what he did only for his revenge for Lilly 6. Percy: 100% 5. Cedric: disagree, he was brave yes but every house has it, his stronger sides were Hard work, loyalty, Fair play, like admitting he should have tried to save everyone like Harry, or letting harry win after he saved him against the spider, always humble, like. Nothing daring in his personality. He never gets into trouble like Gryffindors. Cedric is very similar to Tonks. 4. Dumbledore: agree, and I will add he is like Merlin, who was a slithering (so I guess it was a matter of choice, like Harry). Although I think Dumbledore is house Hogwarts, he is a combination of all houses tbh. 3. Hagrid: 50/50 he is loyal Yes, but he lacks patience, common sense or fair play (when se shows the dragons to Harry and M. Maxime. He is Brave, Daring (like with crazy adventures) also lots of nerve 2. Hermione: she is 60% Gryffindor 40% Ravenclaw, she is brilliant, but she is willing to break the rules for the right reasons, her bravery, daring, nerve and determination are even stronger. 1. Pettigrew: 100%

[@bluewolf2708]

Slytherins are darker Ravenclaws. They're just as intelligent and enjoy experimenting with new ideas.. but only IF it helps them achieve their goals. They'll do whatever it takes to reach the end in mind. Learning everything about something, planning ahead, setting traps, and creating diversions if anyone comes close to figuring out their plans. This also makes them insanely brave, too. They don't think much about the consequences if they're caught, mostly because they're so confident they won't be. They can be very loyal to their friends &/or family. They have so many traits from the other houses, but their ambition sets them apart.

[@Ginnyweasly-HH21]

I do not think Hermione should be sorted in Ravenclaw. I am a Ravenclaw myself, and I think I am much more creative than I am intelligent. Here is my argument: Though she was very intelligent, it was not really natural. Like she worked hard to succeed and studied a lot, but she was not open-minded and creative. Luna thought outside of the box, she was creative and passionate, thought up theories and was different in a good way. Hermione didn't really think ideas, she remembered from books and things she had read. She was quite narrow minded, and was not original and experimental. An example is the D.A coins. She got the idea from the dark mark, and improved it. The sorting hat says about Ravenclaw: If you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind. Hermione does not have a ready mind. She panics under pressure, an obvious example is the Devils snare scene, in the BOOKS. A ready mind is eager and ready to explore. She thinks books are fact and will not hear any more, unless there is proof. She does not give the slightest chance that what Luna says might be real. As the books go on, and her character grows, she gets better and better at being like this. Another reason is that the sorting hat will put you in what you value. Hermione says this in the first book, proving she fits into Gryffindor: Me! Books and cleverness! There are more important things, like friendship, and bravery. The answer is there. Hermione herself values friendship and bravery above all else. You are not sorted into a house because of the qualities you possess but the choices you make. What you yourself value most is what the hat takes into account. As said by Albus Dumbledore: “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” Luna Lovegood is the main Ravenclaw J.K. Rowling focuses on, and Luna is much more creative than she is smart, though she probably gets fairly well grades. Though I have told you Hermione is narrow-minded, this does not make Hermione bad. Everyone has flaws, and this is simply one of hers. Though I have showed her flaws, I still think she is a great character. In fact, my favourite character is book Ginny (The movies do not develop her at all and make her as shy as she was in her first year), though I have no idea who to put in second place, Hermione or Luna! Thank you for reading this, I have put a lot of thought into this. Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere and I will edit it. Here is a link to another argument, and if you would like, you can take a bit of my argument and write it in the comments (as long as you mention me): www.mugglenet.com/2018/08/why-hermione-is-not-a-ravenclaw/ ❤⚡🕶

I think the reason why Hermione was put into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw, is because most of her knowledge comes from books, Meanwhile a lot of the time Ravenclaws use information around them, and Wisdom from experience etc 😊 In short, Her knowledge relies on books, and Ravenclaws have a much wider range of knowledge bc they don't have to rely on just books.

While ron checks off the loyalty and patience of a hufflepuff, the other 3 traits dont really apply to him that much. He wasnt so concerned with fair play when he found out about the felix felices after he drank it. All the time he’s blowing off work and procrastinating. I dont think he’s a hufflepuff. I actually think that hermione is as much a ravenclaw and griffindor as hufflepuff. She is loyal through deathly hallows unlike ron. She patiently waits for harry and ron to think up what she thought a while ago. Dedication and hard work? She’s the only person in binns’ class that can stay dedicated enough to pay attention. She constantly finishes homework in a timely manner due to her hard working. The only one that is really questionable is her desire for fair play; although she is appaled at the felix felices she also confunds cormac in the tryouts.

[@kirstyowens1865]

I feel like Harry would have been a much better fit for Hufflepuff, not Slytherin. Loyalty? His loyalty to Dumbledore and to Hogwarts is unshakeable, if Harry decides that he likes you then he will go out of his way to stand up for you. Fairplay/sense of Justice? He had the opportunity to take Peter Pettigrew out in the Shrieking Shack, but instead decided that Peter had to face his crimes properly. Selfless, humble and honest? He's definitely got those qualities in spades. The only trait I might disagree with is patience, he does have a bit of a hot temper, but he's very rarely cruel on purpose.

I think Hermione would’ve been in Slytherin if they didn’t have their pureblood reputation.

[@claudiag8823]

I actually agree with all of your re-sorting. It makes so much more sense, especially in Hagrid, Pettigrew, Hermione, Ron and Cedric's cases. I also always wondered about these choices, especially considering that, if it's true that you are sorted in the house whose morals you value the most, then Hagrid should have definitely been a Hufflepuff; I think loyalty is pretty much the most important thing to him. But it appears that is how Rowling preferred it that there is this major rivalry between Gryffindor - good guys - and Slytherin - bad guys. There are so few major characters from other houses. At least from a story-telling point of view, it makes sense that all the good main protagonists are in the same house because some scenes of having them plot together would have been difficult. Pettigrew, of course, needed to be in Gryffindor so that the story can show that not being in Slytherin doesn't mean you are automatically one of the good guys. Poor Ron also needed to be a Gryffindor; his brothers would have never let him live this down if he'd been sorted into another house, so maybe the Hat considered that^^. And it would have been really interesting if Harry had been in Slytherin. Would he have stayed the same? Would he have defied the expectations of his house, and still found friends in other houses, risking being seen as an outcast by his housemates (which he wouldn't have risked because he wanted to belong and be accepted and loved)? Doubtful. Would have Snape treated him better because, although Harry is the son of his enemy, Harry IS a Slytherin wo Snape always favours? Sure the books are children's books (at the beginning), but for them to be really intriguing, it would have been better if this crass black and white view of good and bad, Gryffindor vs Slytherin would have been toned down for a bit.
