Hermione and the sorting
Heya!
Just outta curiousity - why did they do the houses like this...
Gryffindor - the brave
Ravenclaw - the wise
Hufflepuff - the loyal, good friend types
Slytherin - the ambitious
Neville should be in Hufflepuff, he's not exactly brave but he's loyal, and he's not smart nor mean and evil. Hermione should be in Ravenclaw, I mean, she's not exactly the bravest is she, (though she's smart)? Ron and Harry go well I think, cause they aren't exactly so smart, they aren't ambitious, and they don't really have many friends aside from them, do they? I think she went over to exagerate on how mean and all Slytherins were, but she didn't make some of the other characters fit the houses. And Colin Creevy and his brother - do you call that brave!
Fred and George fit well, I guess, and they really don't tell much of Cho's personality enough to say...
Nice, I'm not a muggle anymore!!! And strange, y'know how Harry found out he was going to Hogwarts around his b-day? Well, my b-day is July 29th, close...

Do you guys do that in these Harry things because I know always get in trouble for not doing it at RPG boards...
Oh I agree buddy...but maybe the Creevy dorkums and Neville are raging beasts waiting for the right time to break free and show their true colours....think about it...maybe Neville's a psycho underneath like his parents and the Creeveys are evil twins from hell...whoops....getting off track a little
Re: Hermione and the sorting
lol! Well anyways, getting back on track, remember the sorting hat said that HarrY would be good in Ravenclaw but \Harry wanted to be in gryffindor and was saying "not slytherin!". Well maybe the kids sort of get to choose which houses they go too. I mean all of the weasly's went to Gryffindort so maybe originally the first weasly was brave but after that they weren't. Makes sense sorta...
Re: Hermione and the sorting
Actually, the hat only said he would be good in Slytherin, it didn't mention anything about Ravenclaw...
And remember when in the 4th when they were sorting the Creevy twins, and Harry asked if all family are put in the same house, and Ron said no and showed the something twins (don't remember name) and they were sisters in different houses... So, maybe not...
I just don't get why Hermione is in Gryffindor, and Neville also... They're the ones that don't fit the most...
Another thing... You know how they say that Slytherin are the ambitious... Well, that doesn't always mean evil. Percy's ambitious (and not brave should I mention), but not evil. So why does she go out of her way to make Slytherin look evil? I mean, ambition can be for good, and it doesn't mean you have a bad personality or anything... What do you think?
Another thing also... Does it seem to you that she tries to make Gryffindor look like the best, how the sorting hat said that Gryffindor found the way to make the sorting hat and all...??
Re: Hermione and the sorting
Hi! I think you brought up a lot of good points! However, I have to disagree about Neville...he's brave, he just doesn't realize it! For example, he stood up to his friends and told them not to go wandering around the school at night...If THAT isn't courage, I don't know what is! Cho Chang is in Ravenclaw...it's true that we don't know a whole lot about her, but perhaps she fits the characteristics of someone in Ravenclaw...Hermione, well, she's Harry's and Ron's best friend! It's just easier to have them all together, isn't it? Besides, she's the most level-headed of the three (at least in MY opinion) and that's important too when you have to be courageous, right?
Re: Hermione and the sorting
i agree with you full heartdly. Hermionie, Ron, and harry belong in the same tower. ron and harry have courage, but hermionie has logic. Logic to do what is right against your own will. That is mental courage, and it is what gryffindor is about.
Re: Hermione and the sorting
actually, Hermione did show some bravenest when she hit Malfoy, and she set Snape on fire in her first year, even though she could have gotten in trouble, and I agree, she has mental bravenest.
i agree..
about Hermione having mental courage. She does stand up for herself, and she does have a lot of logic. Even though she's scared of certain situations, she's still able to think calmly etc (ok so that's not necessarily being brave, but at least she doesn't faint).
About Rowling making Slytherin seem bad and Gryffindor the best, well it's most probably intentional, because Voldemort came from Slytherin, and there's always a kind of enemy, or a group of enemies in a book which are totally over exaggerated- and that's Slytherin. You need always need some type of 'baddie'. I agree also that just because you're ambitious doesn't mean you're evil. I don't think all the Slytherins are evil, just Draco Malfoy and his clan, and Voldemort have been put down as the 'evil people' therefore putting Slytherin down as the Dark House. But I think that it's unfair how everybody always supports Gryffindor in quidditch matches (basically the whole school) and nobody supports Slytherin. I guess I feel bad because it's really horrible when you see no one supports you. I'm blabbering now.
And as for the Sorting Hat business, I think Rowena should have thought of the idea, because Ravenclaw is meant to be the smartest house. I don't really object that much (actually, I think I do) to Gryffindor having the idea, but he does get a lot of attention already.
Back to the Hermione point, she might've asked for Gryffindor as someone said before, because on the Hogwarts Express, she told Harry and Ron that she thought Gryffindor was the best house.
Also, Crabbe and Goyle are ambitious? I never thought of them in that way..
Re: i agree..
Practically all of the kids parents that are in Slytherin are death eaters. Not all. I wouldn't like it if i heard that Slytherin was the worst house and evil wizards were in it and the sorting hat said that i should be in it..
about Lily Potter...
Yeah, I was wondering that too XxLilyxX..
I heard a rumour that Lily had been in Slytherin, but then had transferred to Gryffindor. I didn't think it was possible to transfer, as the Sorting Hat was always meant to be right, but you never know. It would be interesting.
Did J.K. Rowling state which houses Lupin and Sirius were in? I mean, they didn't have to be in Gryffindor to be friends with James Potter.
Re: Hermione and the sorting
Hi
I'm new to this forum. But I think you're all right. Especially ElethStar (sorry about the name) You don't have to be in the same house to be friends with another.
Thanks,

PS anyone up for a wizard's duel?
Hermione may be brave
The sorting hat looked into the true person - not necessarily how they acted on the outside. Hermione might have been smart - but even halfway through Sorcerers Stone she started to show signs of bravery.
Sorting Hat
I think that Hermione should be in Gryffindor. She shows that she is brave in many ways. One being just getting herself in the adventures that come along. She helps Harry and Ron with the books part of the adventures, and the other parts of them too.
Also, with the Sorting Hat saying Harry should be in Slytherin. Some people say that is because some of Voldermort is in him. If Voldermort was Slytherin and Harry has some of him in him it could stand to reason why he has these traits.
Neville is brave!
In the fifth book Hermione admits that the sorting hat thinked about putting her in the Ravenclaw but i think Hermione is a bit brave. However in the fifth book Neville shows that he is brave if you read the book you will get it. And Harry Potter will find out that Neville could have been in his place. Neville stood up to the Death Eaters in the big fight in the Ministry. He didn't do really something that served them good but he was brave!!!!!
