Lentil Plays at Sorting Hat!

Hiya everybody!

Lately I've been (re)reading Harry Potter (and the Order of the Phoenix, currently) and, as can be expected, my mind did funny things. For example, it latched on to the question, "Which House would the people I know be in?"

My mind answered immediately for some people, but for others it was actually kinda tricky. But as you can imagine, once I started thinking about it and finding the perfect Houses for people, I had to tell. I'm not very good at keeping thoughts to myself. Thus. . .

In this blog update, instead of telling you what I'm up to, I'm gonna tell you what House I think you'd be in if Hogwarts were real (a delusion I cling to harder than the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus)! Yay!

First, I'll tell you what each House is known for (according to what the (true) Sorting Hat says and what I've observed of the characters in the books).

Gryffindor:

Positive traits - brave, noble, stick to their principles

Negative traits - see the world in black and white, quick to judge, jump into things without thinking, can play martyr, arrogant

Slytherin:

Positive traits - ambitious, resourceful, shrewd, good leaders, unafraid of others' opinions/prosecution/prejudice

Negative traits - can often forget about others' in reaching their goals, can be cliquey, prone to starting malicious rumours, cunning

Ravenclaw:

Positive traits - intelligent, creative, wise, into learning and books, self-disciplined, can keep their irrational emotions under control

Negative traits - can often seem a bit reserved, perfectionist, they find it a little hard to let loose, can be shy

Hufflepuff:

Positive traits - hard workers, loyal, tolerant, like fair play, can be a bit quirky, because they're the mixed bag. They're the House that you get put into if you don't fit into any of the others (the founder, Helga Hufflepuff, was the only founder who wanted to educate everybody, not just a few, which is where your open-mindness can come in)

Negative traits - can often have a follower attitude, have lower self-esteem

OK, now let's get started. If you don't know the people I'm talking about, just skip over it, because there won't be much use of it. And, I just have to add, that putting this up is rining alarm bells in my head, saying "You're gonna hurt people's feelings! They're going to get angry at you!"

But I just can't listen to that voice. I need to tell you all now that I've thought of it. So if you think you might get offended (remember, I don't think any House is better than any other. ie. I don't think that if you're in Slytherin that you're a bad person. Or that if you're in Hufflepuff you're a wuss. I like them all. They're all Rowling's babies, after all ;P ) don't read them. It's that simple.

Muzzah - Gryffindor

Fajah - Gryffindor

Stump - Hufflepuff

Ryan L. - Gryffindor

Ilona - Ravenclaw

Gramma - Ravenclaw

Granny - Hufflepuff

Grandad - Ravenclaw

Gramma L. - Gryffindor

Grampa L. - Hufflepuff

Nibbles - Gryffindor

Ali-the-Fair - Ravenclaw

Aunty Yo-Yo - Hufflepuff

Uncle Dale - Hufflepuff

Mandy - Hufflepuff

Chelsea - Hufflepuff

Zak - Hufflepuff

Aunt Laura and Uncle Gordon - Ravenclaw

Ryan K. - Gryffindor

Drew - Gryffindor

Aunt Alison - Ravenclaw

Maija - Gryffindor

Uncle Ed - Gryffindor

The Apteds (Uncle TJ, Aunty Cheryl, Jonah, and Laura) - Hufflepuff

Stacey - Ravenclaw

Eric - Gryffindor

Aunty Anita - Gryffindor

Uncle Alex - Gryffindor

And then there's me. But the Sorting Hat can't sort herself! (I took a few online quizzes (OK, tons) and half put me in Ravenclaw, half put me in Gryffindor, and one put me in both! But I don't trust personality quizzes. They've only known me for a few minutes, and you can manipulate the results) Helpeth me! Leave your comment or send me an email telling me which House you think I belong to.

Or just ask why I put you in a certain House and I'll spill all. I just didn't think that certain people'd want everybody knowing certain things about them when they don't even know who might me be reading this (don't worry, sometimes I think it's just my Mum and Gramma. ;) )

Love!

Lentil,

The Girl Who Just Realized That This Was Kinda Like One of Those "Which Sort are You?" Quizzes Except That You Guys Didn't Get To Take the Quiz!!! *cackles*
