How's that even make sense? The houses literally have elements assigned to them already.
Slytherin = Water
Gryffindor = Fire
Ravenclaw = Air
Hufflepuff = Earth

Going by the way ATLA/LOK presents its traits and not Potter universe exactly
Ugh, this fits too well
Not really. It's a basic misunderstanding of what the houses actually are, focusing instead on whether they symbolize "good" or "evil".
These are the traits associated with the houses, via wiki:
Gryffindor: Bravery, Nerve, Chivalry, Courage, Daring, Strong of Will
Hufflepuff: Dedication, Hard Work, Fair play, Patience, Kindness, Tolerance
Ravenclaw: Intelligence, Wit, Wisdom, Creativity, Originality, Individuality
Slytherin: Resourcefulness, Cunning, Ambition, Leadership, Self-Preservation, Determination, Cleverness, Fraternity, Power
Out of that list, this is Naruto's character:
Resourcefulness, Cunning, Ambition, Leadership, Fraternity, Determination, Cleverness, Creativity, Originality, Dedication, Hard Work, Fair play, Kindness, Tolerance, Bravery, Nerve, Courage, Daring, Strong of Will
He's as much Slytherin as he is Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.
On the other hand, this is Sasuke:
Dedication, Hard Work, Nerve, Chivalry, Daring, Strong of Will, Cunning, Power, Intelligence, Individuality
He gets traits from all the houses almost equally. But remember that his life goal is not becoming a successful, well-loved person, but a suicidal revenge mission to correct what he perceives to be an injustice done against him and his family. Other than the amorality in his methods, that is far more Gryffindor than it is Slytherin. Slytherin is about personal gain, and Sasuke has never had really any interest in being a functional human being. It's all about moral crusades with him.
Whereas Naruto, from the very start, wanted to be a renowned ninja, as embodied in the position of Hokage. He was always looking to gain status, basically.
I think they were referring to "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
Aang/Airbender = Good guy
Fire Nation = Bad guys
Water Tribe = Good guy's sidekicks
Earth Kingdom = Some chumps (and Toph, who is ace)

But this thread made me do the test on Pottermore and I got sorted into Hufflepuff.Ugh, this fits too well
Jane/Brittany-Gryffindor
Quinn/Sandi/Tiffany-Slytherin
Daria-Ravenclaw
Stacy/Jodie-Hufflepuff
Hmm...
I don't remember the reasoning, and I don't feel like rereading the chapter, but why the hell did Barty Crouch Jr go through all that bullshit just to turn the cup into a port key and have Harry touch it first? Turn literally anything in Harry's daily life into a port key and you have significantly less variance to deal with.

You're clearly an impostor.
It really seems like Raph and Leo should be switched, but going by those descriptions, that's...oddly correct.
I don't know which Ninja Turtles you watched, but switch up Leo and Ralph. I mean, c'mon.
I think the plot of the fourth book was dumb as hell, but the problem with turning Harry's toothbrush or whatever into a Portkey is that when Harry either disappears or shows up dead in the bathroom Dumbledore is likely to be a little suspicious.
The plan was to Portkey Harry to the graveyard, ressurect Voldy, kill Harry, replace his dead body in the maze and have everyone think he got killed by a Blast Ended Skrewt or whatever. That way no one suspects a thing.
It's more like, for the sake of the plot, Rowling had to hammer all the "good guys" into Gryffindor and all the "bad guys" into Slytherin.
But in practice, if you divorced the theory behind the houses from the trappings of the books, Slytherin is where all the leaders of fictional teams go and Gryffindor gets the supporting characters who are gruff and reckless, and operate primarily under their own personal moral code.
Example: Professor Xavier/Cyclops is Slytherin while Wolverine is Gryffindor.
Just a guess, but... you can't Apparate while on Hogwarts grounds. Unless you're Dumbledore.
First person to touch the cup gets teleported back to the start of the maze. It's a great method for determining the winner (or a tie) in case of a photo-finish dispute. Dumbledore might have permitted turning the cup into a portkey. Barty Crouch Jr merely added an additional stop to the portkey's trip, as a way to get Harry out of Hogwarts.
The vanishing cabinet was supposed to allow instant transit between two places, but the one stored in Hogwarts was "broken" until Draco eventually managed to make it work. I suspect that by "broken" they meant it was "cut off" by whatever spell was putting Hogwarts on lockdown.

Gryffindors are typically a bit more hot-headed, jumping into action without taking time to think. That was Harry's primary character flaw. That fits Raph perfectly.
Leo is ambitious (to be the best leader he can be in the eyes of Splinter), disciplined and tactical, he just has a strong moral core to temper his ambition, which a lot of the Slytherin kids didn't have.

This thread made me finally sign up for Pottermore.
I'm a Ravenclaw. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
Plus some of the best people are in that house. Luna, Cho, Lockhart and Flitwick.. Donatello..

So someone started this topic, and I accidentally murdered it:

Was there some additional canon material released on Regulus ? I don't remember the detailed cirrcumstances of Regulus's turnabout ever mentioned in the books.

MattPat started a new channel on YouTube for movies and TV shows called FilmTheory.
This is one of his first episodes.

Regulus liked Kreacher.
Regulus joined the Death Eaters and may have killed some mudbloods, or at least would've been fine with it if he did.
Voldy came over to Regulus' house one day and said "Let me borrow your house elf for a few minutes." Regulus did. Voldy took Kreacher to a cave, made him drink poison, and left him lying on a cave floor to die a most-painful death. "Thanks Reg, I'm done with it."
Kreacher didn't die. Regulus: "I'm going to murder the goddamn shit out of Voldemort." - Hero.
I don't know the message was that Regulus was hero so much as the fact that even the worst people can be complicated and Voldemort keeps underestimating that.
Do it. Pottermore is actually pretty fun. I don't duel or make potions; the walk through for the books and scenes was the best imo.
It's the vanishing cabinet that Nearly Headless Nick persuades Peeves to drop over Filches office when Filch catches Harry doing something, which is the same scene in which Harry finds out Filch is a Squib (Kwikspell letter).
*edit:
Also, it wasn't cut off from Hogwarts, because Fred & George shove the Slytherin Chaser into it and the dude (Montague) was trapped and mentioned he could hear both stuff going on in the Borkin & Burkes shop and in Hogwarts [Harry hides inside the black cabinet in Borkin & Burkes when the Floo Powder disaster happened]. Draco figured it out, clever boy.
Nothing detailed, but it was suspected that once Voldy borrowed Kreacher and almost killed Kreacher, that Regulus was getting suspicious already.. and it's implied that it was around that time. Might have been to do with Kreacher actually, because Regulus treated Kreacher well.
Ahhh so it was supposedly about Kreacher ? Never made that connection.
A bunch of tryhards.

I wanted to be Gryffindor for my entire Harry Potter fan-career (?) (Hermione was kind of a role model for me, and I even kind of looked like her with my hair n' stuff). However, all of my friends pegged me as Hufflepuff since day one, and as much as I denied it and told them to fuck off, I eventually gave in and just kind of accepted that it was probably true. So much so, in fact, that when I did the Pottermore thing up to the sorting part, I hoped I would get it... Alas. Gryffindor.
Anyway, Hufflepuff fo' lyfe! Also Tonks is fuckin' badass so... /shrug

Yeah, it's not so much the mini-games as the lore that I like best.
I think he was already having doubts about being a Death Eater...JK Rowling commented that Regulus was a bit like Malfoy, who "got in a little too deep. He was attracted to it, but the reality of what it meant was way too much to handle." Kreacher's treatment by Voldemort was the major deciding factor.

Alright so who in this dumb school teaches you how to shoot fireballs? I'm going to burn it down for putting me with the good guys
Clearly an allusion to the Japanese internment camps. That's dark.

Because I'd assumed that Lily's death was a turning point for Snape and that it inspired him to fight against Voldy instead of merely get revenge for one person. As in her death gave him the perspective of what it was like to lose someone he loved to the madness when previously he thought he had been alone and above that.
Anyone remember in the early days of Facebook going mainstream for high school students and the height of the Potter craze with the last books, there were those "sorting hat" apps that you got shuffled into your house and did these challenges for house points?
I remember laughing so hard because they showed that basically everyone wanted to be in Gryffindor or the "cool" houses, but the people who were winning all the challenges in the game were all Hufflepuffs. That sorting worked
And yeah, insofar as the sorting went, it always did seem like it sort of emphasized personality divides weirdly. Why you would accept a system that helped cultivate power-hungry people (Slytherin), egotistic "leaders" (Gryffindor) or smarter-than-thou intellectuals (Ravenclaw) is beyond me. Seems like you're defeating part of the point of higher learning.
And yeah I woulda' gone for Ravenclaw myself.
To me the thing that made the least sense the more I thought about it was how wizards apparently are completely dependent on normal humans for the vast majority of their infrastructure.
