Hello! I took your hp quiz and absolutely loved it! I was very happy to get Gryffindor which is what I identify as (although I definitely have a lot of a Hufflepuff in me) đ However seeing that only 11% got the same house as me I was wondering what is your take on Gryffindor? I find this very fascinating!
Hello friend! It is really interesting to me as well that the percentage is so much lower for Gryffindor, especially when I put in a lot of my singular brain cell power into making sure all the tags of answers to questions were in equal amounts so that everyone had the opportunity to get what they really were! I may have actually gone on one or two face time rants to my fiance about this hehe. I think that its one of two possibilities: 1) the quotes/answers I picked for Gryffindors are just slightly less appealing to the majority of folks taking it and I could search a little longer for ones that more directly speak to peoples hearts, 2) the fact that Gryffindors in JKâs harry potter cannon are so inherently a rather hard personality for a real person to fall into. While I have my own interpretations of the houses, the cannon is a house for the Brave, the Chivalrous, the Daring. Itâs essentially, to quote @peachbruiseboy âthe House The Bookâs Protagonists Are In.â In this way, Gryffindor has always been (when considering canon only) a sort of limiting house in my opinion, at least in how you can interpret the characters who are in it. Because as humans we are all so very complex, and the protagonists of our own stories, things become a little more complicated in the real world. It is hard to exist in a way where bravery is your âdefining traitâ per se, and so Gryffindors in the traditional sense are often a less common house. That said though, I tried to have my quiz reflect my interpretation of Gryffindors as well as JKâs. Traits like, âI will love you on purposeâ, I will do right on purpose, like impacting the world on a wider scope and like loving/caring deeply, wanting to remember, needing certainty. For more of that interpretation you can check out my full description of them here or my Gryffindor tag hehe sorry rambled a bit forgot the purpose of the ask. I hope that answers some of your question, or at least fascinates you a little bit more! If you have any more questions on specific Gryffindor (or any house!) traits, please let me know! Thank you for asking, for enjoying my quiz, and for instigating Facetime Lore discussions, youâve caused a lot of joy on my end of the internet and I hope that you have a lovely night and have that joy come your way as well c:
