I haven’t seen or heard of a thread such as this, so here goes.... *rubs hands together*
Welcome, welcome, to the magical thread for any Potterhead who wishes to attend!! Here we will discuss our Houses.
Well they don’t know what they are do they? Are you going to tell them what house they’re in then? Do you happen to have a Sorting Hat lying around somewhere?
Urm... no. I don’t have that much magical expertise, I simply assumed-
-they all knew? Not likely.
Well, ok. Maybe not.
So how will they find out?
Um... I was just getting to that. So, if you don’t already know how, to find out your house you figure out which matches your qualities best:(if you’ve read the books you already know this)
Griffindor House — Bravery, Nerve
Slytherin House — Cunning, Pure-Blood
Ravenclaw House — Intelligence, Uniqueness
Hufflepuff House — Loyalty, Diligence
Whichever one you best fit is your house.
If you want to be sure about it and make sure it’s official, you can take an online House Quiz.There are many of them on the Web, but I find the one on the official website, Pottermore, (which I can’t link for obvious reasons), is the best. You do need to make an account by putting in an email, making a password, and verifying the email, but the quiz is fun, easy, and doesn’t require personal information, it simply asks your preferences. There are also similar quizzes to determine your wand and Patronus if you want to do that too.
If you don’t have access to this, you can always just make a good estimate as to what house you’re in, but I strongly recommend the Pottermore quizzes.
Anyway, back to this thread.
Once you’ve determined your house, take a seat at your house table, and let’s party!! *flicks wand* *four long tables appear, laden with pumpkin juice, butterbeers, and treacle fudge*
Ah! I have asked what house you’re in, but have not revealed my own! *twirls And takes a proud stance as an immense blue-and-bronze Ravenclaw banner unfurls behind me*
Tuck in, everybody!
Elli says ymyb
Backwards, that’s “by my”
Hmm... maybe I’m actually getting somewhere...

I’m Ravenclaw, but my hybrid or whatever it’s called houses are Ravenclaw and Gryddendor. I even have a Ravenclaw scarf! Not actually real Ravenclaw, but it has the same exact colors loll

Ravenclaw... my hybrid is Slytherclaw.

I'm mostly a Hufflepuff, but am also kind of a Gryffindor. Hello, fellow Hufflepuffs!

Hi Jwyn i'm a huge Harry Potter fan too, but i'm only on book #4. I'm also in Ravenclaw. It seems like there are a lot of Ravenclaw people!

Hi Eva! Since the traits of a Ravenclaw are intelligence and uniqueness, I had a hunch that it would be common among CBers :)
I haven't seen you around much. Are you new? If so, welcome, and feel free to comment anywhere that sparks your interest! If you haven't already, check out the Ultimate guide to the CB (Admins, could you please find and link? Thanks!!) It's really helpful and informative if you need to know your way around. Have fun!!
Also, what's your Harry Potter favorite book so far? I think mine is #7, but obviously you haven't gotten to that point yet. I hope to see you around more :)

Ravenclaw. Last year I took an online test and it said ... dun dun dun Ravenclaw. Good Idea.

I'm a Ravenin
(April 11, 2019 - 11:28 am)
I don't want to seem repetitive but-no surprise really-I'm a Ravenclaw!
(May 4, 2019 - 12:00 pm)
I'm a Ravenpuff, though mostly Ravenclaw.
My opinion on Slytherins? Well, I have two. The first comes from a friend of mine, the second from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
1) All the evil people are Slytherins, but not all Slytherins are evil.
2) Slytherin was supposed to be for people who are cunning and ambitious, but it has a reputation for being for snotty, evil purebloods. Therefore, people who are cunning and ambitious but don't like the reputation of Slytherin go under the Sorting Hat thinking, not Slytherin, not Slytherin, not Slytherin and end up in Ravenclaw. But then to keep the Houses somewhat even, the Sorting Hat puts people in Slytherin who aren't particularly cunning or ambitious but do like Slytherin's reputation, therefore helping to reinforce the reputation and repeating the cycle.
Okay, this really isn't relevant to this thread, but I just noticed the little things under the name and location boxes (Name (First & Last name initial only, example: "John S.") and general location only, example: "Chicago, IL", "Idaho", "England") and how they don't follow the same conventions. They should be:
first name & last initial only, example: "John S."
general location only, example: "Chicago, IL", "Idaho", "England"

Hello fellow Potterheads!
I'm a complete and total Slytherin. Enough said. XD
(May 6, 2019 - 9:00 pm)
I'm in Hufflepuff, with Ravenclaw close behind. I guess I'm a Huffleclaw?
(May 8, 2019 - 8:17 pm)
I'm a Gyffindor through and through!
