I still don't get why Lupin was telling Harry how James and Sirius were the height of cool and the biggest badasses ever. Like how is it even possible Harry (and Ron/Hermione by association) wasn't even cooler than his dad given that he was legit world-famous.

Well, adults always have an overly exaggerated positive frame of reference of their childhood. There is a reason "kids these days" is a trope.

I seriously hope Rowling regrets making Ginny into some kind of self-insert where she's good at everything and super hot and super pure with eyes only for our true hero.

I never noticed this. Ginny always seemed kind of lackluster.

That would more accurately describe Hermione as played by Emma Watson.

Hufflepuff is for the people who always wonder why they can't catch a break. The people whose grills get manhandled by their neighbours. The people whose lunches are stolen from work. The people whose hobbies are always maligned as "for kids". The people who can't make it work with a prostitute. The people whose sisters know distinctly what it sounds like when they masturbate. The people who can't abide having to apply for jobs in order to get them. The people who tattoo their own genitals because they procrastinated too long.

Hufflepuff: the people who will only ever become wizards at the age of 30.
Oh shit, the dream is collapsing.

Slytherin is the best. They would obviously have the best parties. Slytherin house Tinder would be awesome.

She did have a boyfriend before Harry I think

She did, and then hand-waved it away by saying she only went out with them because Hermione told her to do it while she waited for her perfect hero Harry Potter.

Nah, she magically transformed around Book 6 into being super hot (as related by everyone in the series including Harry himself), super talented (she makes it into the Slug Club, is the star player of the Quidditch team, duels Bellatrix Lestrange and several other Death Eaters) and then says she always had eyes for Harry even when she had some other boyfriend.

The biggest reason I hate Ginny so much is that the whole angle between her and Harry was so poorly done simply because Rowling made her character perfect in every way.

For anyone wondering why X character is in Y house, it's because the Sorting Hat has no fucking clue what it's doing anyway and is willing to delegate the choice to an 11 year old child.

The whole school seems liable to get you killed, really.

Well the school was supposed to be like the only true safe zone when Dumbledore was there. In fact it makes sense when you graduate, to apply for a teaching job there, when Voldemort was roaming about.

Problem is when he died, that just turned into one big beacon with nobody to guard it.

Harry isn't very funny and wears stupid glasses

No man it reads your fucking soul.

Like the wand guy. The wand guy is a living sorting hat.
hufflepuff prolly had the thickest girls tho

I wouldn't be surprised if obesity didn't really exist in the wizarding world because there's magic dieting pills.

LOL are you for real OP?

Hufflepuff is a joke

It's like you somehow failed to qualify for Gryffindor (main characters), Slytherin (sociopaths), and Ravenclaw (awesome people)

If you get Hufflepuff, just pack up and go home. That's like the school saying "well you suck at everything so here's a house filled with people who suck like you?!?!"

Goddamn... Hufflepuff was like an insult back in the day. Like, your momma sucks so bad she'd be in Hufflepuff.

That sort of thing.

You don't see many others with the courage to accompany Harry on his adventures! Seems to me that Hermoine was placed appropriately. As for jocks and Satan worshipers, not entirely sure what you were watching.

It was mostly a joke. I called Slyverins "satan worshipers" since the 7 book has
the teachers lock the entire dorm in a dungeon because they're evil and want to turn Harry in.
. It's kinda funny how they just went
"you're all evil, into the dungeon with all of you".

You may as well call it GAFflepuff.

Why do wizards have to wear glasses anyway?

Well, Harry is a pretty shitty wizard from what I saw in the books. (I'm assuming Dumbledore's were magic glasses that let him do crazy wizard shit.)

Harry is the wizarding equivalent of John Cena. He only knows like 5 spells but gets by on hustle, loyalty and respect.

Ravenclaw: STEM majors
Slytherin: Business and Law majors
Hufflepuff: Arts majors
Gryffindor: Frat houses and jocks

EDIT: Actually thinking about it a little more, Gryffindor can be the Arts majors as well but then what the fuck is left for Hufflepuff? I think Rowling just wanted to the symmetry of four houses and made up an "Others/Misc" category.

So yeah. Gryffindors value courage, Ravenvlaws intelligence, Slytherin ambition. There are a lot of jokes about Hufflepuff being the C students of the HP universe, afterall, Helga Hufflepuff said she'd "take the rest."

So the sorting hat houses you based on 2 things. What you can do, and what you value. And we've seen it put values over skills. Capability, after all, can be nurtured and cultivated.

What is it that Hufflepuff students are suppossed to value most?

Busting your ass.

So yes, Hufflepuff is full of kids who got put there because they've got good hustle, but you know who else is there?

The genius who credits their intelligence primarily to hours of laborious study.

The athlete who's on the field running herself ragged every day.

The social climber making his connections and creating owed favors now instead of waiting for some dark lord to grace him with gifts.

Basically everyone who would have been in another house if not for the fact that they value putting their noses to the grindstone more than they value the way in which they do so.

And they have a network of lesser acheivers willing to work their asses off to help their more talented friends.

Hufflepuff is the house you join if you actually want to accomplish anything in life without having to be some chosen one or a person meant to aid in someone else's special destiny.

Eh, that's one way to see it, but i always saw Hufflepuff as the "Broest of bros" house, it just seemed to me that valuing Friendship was their thing.

Hufflepuff is the "we got your back, bro" house, the Hufflepuffs are the one who are there to be your best friends, the ones who will pick you up when you're down, the ones who will let you win at street fighter to cheer you up, Hufflepuff is all about fair play and union, while all the other houses are about bitter rivalries and eltism. Yes, they play Slytherin as the "supremacist" house, but Gryffindor was also full of "my house rules, yours sucks" and Ravenclaws always seemed stuck up.

Hufflepuff is the house you could share a [butter]beer with and have a good time.

Uh, what?

Ginny's very first major role was being a tool for the villain because she was too scared to tell anyone about Riddle's diary.

All of that got swept away in Book 6 where all of her previous traits were rewritten to not exist. If she was the same person as in Books 1-4, it wouldn't have been a problem because there'd have to be some kind of interesting development between them. As it is, Harry ends up liking her because she's the best at everything.

Be fair, Lupin had a rather significant disability that kept him from finding employment. At least he didn't end up in jail, dead, or a rat for most of his adult life like his other friends.

The only reason Harry likes Ginny is because it's the closest he'll get to marrying Ron without upsetting the uber conservative wizarding population.

Nothing about gryffindor says "STEM majors" save for Hermione maybe, Harry wanted to be a frigging cop when he grew up and Ron wanted to be a pro Athlete, jocks and fratboys sounds right.

Nah, Hermione was the self-insert. Ginny is super awesome because Rowling wants her hero to get a super awesome girl, not because she's a self-insert.

Honestly, Dumbledore being in Gryffindor makes even less sense than Hermione.

So really, it should be Griffindor: Everything that's not Law or Business major.

Ravenclaw and Slitherin all the way. It's a shame the first one wasn't featured a lot and the other one was full of the bad guys.
