The emblem of Gryffindor House is a lion, symbolising strength and courage.


Founder: Godric Gryffindor

Head of House: Professor Minerva McGonnogall

Ghost: Nearly Headless Nick

House Colours: Red and gold

Main Characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, Neville Longbottom, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, and Ginny Weasley.

Gryffindor is arguably the most focused-on house in the Harry Potter series and gets the most page-time devoted to explaining the story of its foundation and its culture, which makes sense considering the three main characters of the series are all sorted into Gryffindor.

However, amongst the series' fans there are surprisingly few people sorted into Gryffindor house, making it almost like an exclusive club. If you've just been sorted into Gryffindor, congratulations!








The crest of Hufflepuff House is a badger, symbolising hard-work and loyalty

Founder: Helga Hufflepuff

Head of House: Professor Pomona Sprout

House Ghost: The Fat Friar

House Colours: Black and yellow

Main Characters: Newt Scamander (featured in the Fantastic Beasts franchise), Cedric Diggory, and Nymphadora Tonks.

Hufflepuffs are sometimes seen as the underdogs of the Harry Potter world. They're dependable and reliable and relentlessly good, but rarely get the chance to take the centre stage along with houses like Gryffindor and Slytherin. While this may disappoint some Hufflepuffs, it's important to remember that the contributions of Hufflepuff house across the series as a whole are undeniable. Hufflepuffs are among the first to stand up and support Harry during his hunt for the final Horcruxes during the battle of Hogwarts and prove their loyalty and dedication time and time again.

The best analogy for a Hufflepuff is a player on a sports team that passes the ball along so that another can score a goal; while they're not the centre of attention and don't win fame and glory, they're still critical in the end result of the play. As a side note, J. K. Rowling herself has said that Hufflepuff is her favourite House, so if you've just been sorted into Hufflepuff, be proud of yourself!

The crest of Ravenclaw House is an eagle, symbolising wit and learning.


Founder: Rowena Ravenclaw

Head of House: Professor Filius Flitwick

House Ghost: The Grey Lady

House Colours: Blue and bronze

Main Characters: Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang.

Of all the Hogwarts Houses, Ravenclaws get the least amount of attention over the series. They have the least main characters and many Ravenclaws are disgruntled by the fact that some of the characters exemplifying their house strengths and culture (for example, Hermione and Dumbledore) were sorted elsewhere.

Despite this, Ravenclaws have a strong sense of house identity and fellowship and there are many online communities of friendly Ravenclaws willing to welcome a new member into their fold!

The crest of Slytherin House is a serpent, symbolising cunning and ambition.


Founder: Salazar Slytherin

Head of House: Professor Severus Snape

House Ghost: The Bloody Baron

House Colours: Green and silver.

Main Characters: Voldemort (Tom Riddle), Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, Albus Potter (featured in the Cursed Child).

In regards to the book series, Slytherin House is painted in an overwhelmingly negative light by J. K. Rowling. Almost all of the negatively portrayed characters are members of Slytherin and the main villain, Voldemort, is heavily connected with Slytherin, being a direct descendant of the House's founder.

Despite this, Slytherins all over the world are fighting back against their bad reputation by being valuable and helpful members of the Harry Potter community. Many Slytherins even enjoy the darkness that their reputation casts over them and are proud of the strengths of their house.
