Summary: <p>Come on. Admit it. You've taken a Harry Potter house quiz or two. It's a great geeky time killer at the very least.</p><br> <p>This month, we decided to take a few quizzes and compare results. Isabela, Evan, and I have lots of opinions about all things Harry Potter, not just the house definitions and meanings. We open with a brief discussion of Fantastic Beasts and The Cursed Child to kick off our discussion. I get all the names wrong. All of them.</p><br> <p>For those who might not be as well versed in the Hogwarts houses, summaries of each house (taken from the <a href="http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hogwarts_Houses">Harry Potter Wiki</a>)</p><br> <p><strong>Gryffindor</strong> values bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Its emblematic animal is the lion and its colors are scarlet and gold.</p><br> <p><strong>Hufflepuff</strong> values hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Its emblematic animal is the badger, and Yellow and Black are its colors.</p><br> <p><strong>Ravenclaw</strong> values intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Its emblematic animal is the eagle, and its colors are blue and bronze.</p><br> <p><strong>Slytherin</strong> house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness and was founded by Salazar Slytherin. Its emblematic animal is the serpent, and its colors are emerald green and silver.</p><br> <p>The fandom dedicated to Harry Potter is highly devoted and there are many ways to look at the Hogwarts Houses. We have a great time discussing the quizzes and our own desires to "self sort" into the house we truly feel the most aligned to.</p><br> <h3>Quiz and Article Links</h3><br> <p>Buzzfeed - <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/eleanorbate/accurate-af-sorting-quiz?utm_term=.lmezBLo6ej#.xbrWxVmOoZ">What Is Your Hogwarts House Percentage?</a></p><br> <p>Pottermore - <a href="https://www.pottermore.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/the-sorting-hat">The Sorting Hat</a></p><br> <p>Personality Lab - <a href="http://www.personalitylab.org/tests/bfi2_hogwarts.htm">Find Your Hogwarts House - Harry Potter Sorting Hat Personality Test</a></p><br> <p>The Sorting Hat Chats -<a href="http://sortinghatchats.tumblr.com/thebasics"> The Basics of Our Sorting System</a> (article - no quiz)</p><br> <p>Until next time, get your geek on!</p><br> <p>Regina, Isabela, and Evan</p><br> <h3>To Discuss</h3><br> <p>What is your Harry Potter house?
