I took a quiz on Time.com about which Harry Potter house you would be in. I ended up with Ravenclaw, and I think that is pretty accurate. According to Time, most Americans ended up in Ravenclaw as well, with a little over 45% of people being sorted into that house. Hufflepuff was second, and as much as everyone would love to be Gryffindor, the house Harry is in, that came in at third, with Slytherin, the villainous house, at fourth. The results article points out that this makes a lot of sense, as the latter two are home to more extreme characters. The demographics breakdown reveal that my home state of New Jersey produces more Ravenclaws than any other house, although the city of Syracuse produces Hufflepuffs. I was surprised by how overwhelming the Ravenclaw majority was in the overall results, as they are known as the house of intelligence in the Harry Potter universe, so I felt a little bit special when I was sorted into that house, but it seems as if it was more in line with the mean than I would have expected. I would have expected a more even split, but Ravenclaw has 40% more members than Slytherin does. This quiz gives a good insight into the Harry Potter universe, and shows us that as much as we would love to be the daring and brave, going on adventures with Harry, Ron, and Hermoine, it is much more likely we would simply be an extra filling a seat in one of the less glamorous houses.
