You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you’ve a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You’ll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
Last week, we asked Pottermore users to give us examples of some of the house traits highlighted in the Sorting Hat’s song in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Gryffindors told us about their greatest acts of chivalry, and Hufflepuffs their greatest acts of loyalty. Ravenclaws showed off their wit, and Slytherins got the chance to demonstrate their cunning.
We saw lots of really wonderful tweets – some funny, some poignant – and had great fun choosing which to retweet on @Pottermore. Here’s a selection of our favourites …
