Influencing my beliefs, altering my perspective of the world, and creating an entertainment that can be shared with many are all integral factors that led to my decision to write about my favorite songs for my passion blog last semester. While I was certainly passionate about the aspects of music that affect my daily thoughts, emotions, and behavior, I decided I would have more fun with my passion blog this semester.
As someone who has read all of the components of a virgo’s personality, scoured through innumerable buzzfeed quizzes that analyze why the type of food I am relates to my personality, and has been forced to complete professional trait tests for my personality psychology class, I am likewise thrilled to continue my personality analysis throughout this blog, yet infused with another love of mine: Harry Potter. However, I am narrowing my focus on the Harry Potter sorting hat and the unique characteristics each Hogwarts house has.
Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin make up the four different Hogwarts houses, all representing different values, while also showcasing the famous wizards belonging to each house and how their values and traits coincide with those of their house. While it is interesting to view the characters getting sorted into their destined houses, I have been more intrigued with how myself and my friends have been sorted based on a personality test. Although it is simple to take a Buzzfeed quiz and be sorted into a house, I preferred to take the official sorting hat test created by J.K. Rowling herself.
Each post will highlight the unique traits of each individual house, but I encourage everyone to take the test just for fun. Lastly, at the end I will reveal my own result, but for now I will list the basic traits that each house emphasizes.
Hufflepuff: hard working, patient, loyal, and fair.
Gryffindor: daring, brave, adventurous, chivalrous and courageous.
Ravenclaw: wise, intelligent, creative, and clever.
Slytherin: cunning, ambitious, intelligent, resourceful, and prideful.
