In Spanish class, are table rows were based off of Harry Potter houses. We got these based off a personality test. I got Slytherin to idk what that

You can't even spell Gryffindor.

For those who don't know:

Gryffindor = Bravery, courage, determination. 

Hufflepuff = Loyalty, hard work, diligence.

Ravenclaw = wit (clever, not funny), learning, wisdom.

Slytherin = Cunning, ambition, resourcefulness.

I'd end up in Ravenclaw but have a lot of Slytherin in me.

Best at what?
'Currently I think I'd prefer to choose Ravenclaw, because it seems a likely way to acquire power and immortality, knowledge I mean.
Still,
Bravery, loyalty, and honor, appreciable in Gryffindor.
Kindness, modesty, hard work, appreciable in Hufflepuff.

I suppose ambition can be admired, it's a common value to want more, I want more at times, cunning similar to knowledge, being resourceful,
I'm not aware of any wizards in my family tree though, so I don't 'think I could get into Slytherin, well, maybe if I cheated,
Still, I think it's better to work with good people than bad people,
Easier to trust they won't stab your back,
Then again, easier to convince a bad person to commit a bad act, maybe.

When looking at the houses through the lens of witchcraft or wizardry, as she called it to be more palatable, than Ravenclaw.

I would go for Ravenclaw but I have a feeling I could be sorted into Slytherin.

Hufflepuff = Loyalty, hard work, diligence.

Ravenclaw = wit (clever, not funny), learning, wisdom.

Slytherin = Cunning, ambition, resourcefulness.
This is not entirely correct at all.

The correct is this:

Gryffindor: Bravery, Leadership, Wrath.
Hufflepuff: Honesty, Loyalty, Fear.
Ravenclaw: Intellect, Resourcefulness, Stubbornness (you got this one so wrong).
Slytherin: Family/Friendship, Ambition, Pride.

They all have flaws and all have strengths.

Gryffindor was consistenetly the least loyal House of them all. Gryffindor was the only House where their own head of House would consistently betray them and dock their scores out of a seeking of justice over loyalty.

If they played poker:

Gryffindor: Loose-Hybrid.
Hufflepuff: Hybrid-Passive.
Ravenclaw: Tight-Hybrid.
Slytherin: Hybrid-Aggressive.

Hm, might be you have a point about Gryffindor and loyalty, I'm thinking about it.

I definitely like you adding flaws to the houses in post #20 though,
Adds depth to the houses.

Slytherin was never known for its cunning, that misconception was an idea only Gryffindors and JK Rowling herself had about them.

Slytherin was all about staying true to your clan etc but unlike Hufflepuffs, it wasn't loyalty itself they valued, it was the clan excelling and doing better than others they enjoyed. So, it was justifiable to betray in the name of ambition and pride.

If you analyse the characters, Harry Potter himself was more cunning than your average Slytherin. I mean, literally look at Crabbe and Goyle (Malfoy's 2 cronies) they don't strike me as very cunning but they were indisputably slytherin for other reasons.

I wouldn't say agreeing or disagreeing,
It was simply a quote that came to mind, after reading post #24

I'm still thinking on the topic.

I first watched the movies.

I thought the movies were fine, but very confusing.

I got a copy of a book. Started reading. I immediatelly noticed that the book is more fun, but also offers more explanation on Harrys thinking.

It offers more explanation on everyones thinking.

In fact, I managed to get 3 books. I noticed that the books are full of little debates and have plenty of explanations lacking in movies.

Just one more to go.

What do the 4 houses of Hogwarts represent?
Image result for hogwarts house movie
Each House represents one of the four classical elements: Fire (Gryffindor), Earth (Hufflepuff), Air (Ravenclaw), and Water (Slytherin). Each of these also represents one of the four states of matter: Plasma (Fire, Gryffindor), Gas (Air, Ravenclaw), Liquid (Water, Slytherin), and Solid (Earth, Hufflepuff).
