How surprising. No other Gryffindors yet.

[–] GabrielBell12fi 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think it's because people are growing out of the reflexive need to be a Gryffindor.

Way back when the series was "just getting big", everyone wanted to be a Gryffindor because there were just two Houses (Gryffindor and Slytherin) and if you weren't Gryffindor you were clearly a bad guy.

Watch TV shows from back then -- EVERYONE said Gryffindor :)

But now it is 20 years later, and people have realised there are more than two Houses, that Slytherin are not that bad guys and that you can be something other than Gryffindor because people might have heard of it.

Thank you for attending my TED talk. You can find it on tape at your local library :)

I do meet way more Hufflepuff members now than pretty much any other house these days. Feel like the Gen z fans connect with the fiercely loyal traits and connect with that more nowadays.

[–] GabrielBell12fi 1 points 1 year ago

That is possible, but I was born twenty years or so before Philosopher's Stone came out, so not sure I qualify as Gen Z :)

But it's also possible that fans of today are annoyed with being attacked for not being hard working, and just being given "participation trophies" when really this generation is getting screwed by the older ones. Which -- ironically -- is pretty much EXACTLY the plot of the books when you think about it :)

So you are saying that people say gryffindor to fit in rather than being honest with themselves? I wonder what their actual houses would be…what’s your house?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It was wanting that main character energy and wanting to be like Harry and the gang. I was put into Gryffindor by the OG Pottermore, but could have just as easily gone into Ravenclaw (and have on some other tests).

I'm between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. I got Gryffindor on Pottermore, but I didn't feel like that was right, so I took the full version that shows the % for each house, and I waffle between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor throughout the whole quiz, with Ravenclaw right behind, then Slytherin in a distant fourth, lol. I've always felt more like a Hufflepuff, got I like the Gryffindor colors better, so I don't know.

The hat takes your choice into consideration too. Don’t worry.

[–] Tavarin 1 points 1 year ago

I've gotten sorted into Gryffindor every time I've done a Harry Potter quiz, so Gryffindor it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hufflepuff ;)
