Houses:
Gryffindor: Founded by Godric Gryffindor. Colloquially known as “the House of Heroes”, Gryffindor students are chosen for bravery, chivalry, and decisiveness.Many witches and wizards of note were former Gryffindors and as such the house has a reputation for producing tomorrow’s leaders. While being placed in Gryffindor may mean the chance to land in the fast track to greatness, the pressure to stand out can be tremendous. Those with big personalities and even bigger dreams do well here. Their house colors are Scarlet and Gold and their mascot is a lion.
Ravenclaw: Founded by Rowena Ravenclaw. Home to the future philosophers and innovators of the wizarding world, Ravenclaw students are known for their intelligence and devotion to learning. While that dedication to academia does include the more traditional didactic pursuits, those in Ravenclaw often pursue far more eccentric (or even taboo) fields of study. In their minds, the pursuit of knowledge is paramount, and creative approaches are to be celebrated, rather than discouraged. Their house colors are Blue and Bronze and their mascot is a raven.
Hufflepuff: Founded by Helga Hufflepuff. Despite its reputation for being the house of misfits and underachievers. Hufflepuff students have a reputation for patience, hard-work, and determination. They tend to be the most practical and levelheaded among their peers, not distracted by reckless glory, blind ambition, or ephemeral pursuits. Hufflepuffs are the ones you can count on to get things done. Their house colors are Yellow and Black and their mascot is a badger.
Slytherin: Founded by Salazar Slytherin. No other house has such a troubled reputation. Outside of their founders preference for purebloods, some of the worst dark witches and wizards came from this house. Perhaps that is just the double edged sword that comes with ambition and cunning. Slytherins are known for their drive, their willingness to see their goals through to the end and their resourcefulness to make their dreams a reality. Their house colors are Green and Silver and their mascot is a snake.
