Is there a particular sorting hat quiz that's better than others for Harry Potter houses? The ones I've taken have said Ravenclaw, but one of my best friends insists I'm a Hufflepuff and he thinks the tests I've taken are flawed (and is surprisingly angry?). I haven't read enough of the books to have any feelings about any of this. Guidance?

why does he think you're a hufflepuff?

[Smallville]

finally took it...

Gryffinclaws like you are rare in the wild, but you’re easy to recognize as a Gryffinclaw because you’re bold, outgoing, and a natural leader. Your ambition and your drive to change the world are powerful forces inside you, but they’re tempered and softened by your knowledge and your understanding, as well as your keen wit and sense of humor. If they haven’t already, somebody should probably put you in charge of something big.

there's nothing insufferable about puffs, they're just boring

it should be like greenish silver vs silverish green, so really just a difference of degree/emphasis

Your friend sounds like somebody who isn't going to watch the new season of Game of Thrones because he doesn't want it to spoil the magic of the books.

I'm going to take this as a compliment of sorts

hufflepuffs are extremely underrated












as pawns

I don't fully understand his reasoning, but something along the lines of I'm a loyal person and nice and tend to get people to stop arguing. He also said I get more excited about happy things than most people do (rescued animals, random acts of kindness, etc). I feel like this just describes Midwesterners. He identifies as Slytherin, if that provides any insight?

I think this a fair assessment. We are just very nice, steady people, which is not necessarily exciting!

Well, the last two nights I've engaged in some pretty heavy post-work drinking with my co-workers. So I'm feeling like giving my liver some much-needed rest tonight. My girlfriend is making a cheese CAKE tonight, so I think I'll just eat about half of that and slip into a coma.

LIES I think 'puffs are the least likely to be pawns since they're the least drawn to ~power~

hm yeah he's not being a v good pedant. here's the best canon-conforming description of the houses http://pottermoreanalysis.tumblr.com/po ... by-request

in general I think sorting by "extrinsic traits" is silly and it's much more useful to consider intentions/motivations. eg all 4 archetypes may well spend time reading a book, but a gryffindor may do it to fight evil or some such silliness, a hufflepuff to keep their friend company, a ravenclaw bc knowledge is its own reward (a terminal value), and a slytherin to gain power or further a plot

As previously established, cheesecake is pie! (Just like a whoopie pie is admittedly actually cake.)

[Smallville]

A tart?

[suralin]

alton brown is a god and he says that cheesecakes are (custard) pies

also cheesecake doesn't like rise

[BirdLawExpert]

No yeast, no cake.

Unless I'm wrong because I don't really understand baking.
