Those of you who are Potterheads probably heard about the Pottermore Sorting Quiz being redone and some people getting sorted into new houses. I saw so much on Facebook about people having identity crises people of being switched. I myself was switched from Hufflepuff to Slytherin. I had a lot of different thoughts in response to that. First off, that's the most drastic house switch possible. Secondly, I am nowhere near ambitious enough to be a Slytherin. Thirdly, I liked being a Hufflepuff! They value kindness and fairness and loyalty, which I think are characteristics that we should all aspire to.
Thinking about this, I realized that this situation just shows us how unique and complex everyone is. I'm loyal and I value fairness. I can be cunning and clever when necessary. I'm intelligent and love to learn. I stand up for my friends when people are being mean to them. I am all the houses and none of the houses. I think everyone has a little bit of every house in them. So who cares where you're sorted? You are you and that's all that matters.
(I've also decided I'm a Slytherpuff as those are my 2 dominant houses)
I got sorted into Hufflepuff and I am so proud! However, you are right, every house has positive attributes that we should all value at some point in our lives. I thought this video on Slytherins was clever and funny, maybe you will enjoy. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok09Afd0hMU
