We don't see a lot of Ravenclaws in the story; the ones we really get to know are Luna, Cho, and a few others. That being said, this house tends to make a good impression because of Ravenclaw's focus on intelligence. Many a kid who started reading Harry Potter started reading it because they liked the idea of being in the "smart house.
Ravenclaw is the Hogwarts House where individuality is the most celebrated and lots of different people can come together to talk about basically whatever they want. It's honestly really nice to see that kind of thing these days.
Ravenclaws pride themselves on being themselves all the time, but more than that, this house is the type to pride themselves on being the most informed and being prepared for every situation. Hufflepuffs, more than any other Hogwarts House, are the ones who are always living drama free. Unlike the other three houses in the HP series, Hufflepuff kind of stays out of the fray because they want to keep working at what they're doing and sort of protect their community.
While this post shows Hufflepuffs are the ones who eat the most, since their common room is by the kitchen, there's a lot more to this house than that. This is the house that values hard work the most. They believe in fairness and not taking the easy road if doing the harder thing is doing the right thing. A great example of this is when Cedric Diggory, the one major Hufflepuff still in school when Harry is in the story, asks to have his Snitch disqualified during an important game in the third book because he didn't know Harry had fallen off his broom.
He then shared the Triwizard Tournament victory with Harry because Harry had saved his life and it was fair to do that. Slytherins are actually a lot more like Hufflepuffs than even Slytherins and Hufflepuffs are willing to admit. Both signs are defined by being really loyal to people.
The difference is that Slytherins tend to be loyal to their people while Hufflepuffs are loyal to all people.
Slytherins tend to be shown in the series as "the bad guys" or the ones who "don't care about people" and only care about themselves, but that's honestly not the case at all. Think about how the Malfoy family tends to look down on people who aren't in their circle, but how obvious it is that each and every Malfoy cares about their people.
Think about how Pansy Parkinson would do anything for Draco and the other Slytherins but had no problem giving up Harry in the seventh book because it meant keeping her people safe. Honestly, Slytherins have a bad reputation in the series, but I can't think of a Hogwarts House that deserves that the least. It's been Tumblr that found that out. For those who aren't super hip to mid-aughts movie adaptations of gargantuan works of science fiction, this is a GIF from the movie The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
It is one of my personal favorite films and you can see A-listers in it during a time just before they became household names. The bread is being cut with a special knife that makes toast as the bread is being cut — super cool, right? The reason why this post is relevant is that different people reacted to this in different ways.
The Gryffindor in this post had the gut reaction of wanting to see what would happen if you stabbed someone because they're the type to come up with a crazy idea and try to make it happen.
The Ravenclaw pointed out the flaws in that plan, and the Slytherin adapted based on the new information. Meanwhile, the Hufflepuff is in the corner, wondering why the toast isn't the focus here.
The books and movies tend to treat Gryffindor and Slytherin like totally different houses where the people have nothing in common, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Dedication: Hufflepuffs are some of the most hard-working students and employees in the Wizarding World.
While they may not have a Ravenclaw's natural love of learning and knowledge or a Slytherin's cunning and ambition, Hufflepuffs try their hardest in everything they do Honesty: Hufflepuffs feel a strong desire to speak the truth and behave honestly in everything that they do. Gryffindors also value this trait, which is part of what makes Hufflepuff-Gryffindor friendships so strong. Humbleness : Unlike the other houses, which are all prone to arrogance, Hufflepuffs almost never display this trait.
They are modest and humble in everything that they do and tend to stay away from those who exude self-importance. Naivety : Hufflepuffs are generally optimists and are able to find the good in everything, but this does mean that they can be naive. If they're not careful, they can be easily tricked and taken advantage of. Low Self-Esteem: Because Hufflepuffs have a tendency towards modesty, they can sometimes fail to see their own worth.
At best, this can cause them to simply underestimate themselves, but at worst it can cause severe problems with a lack of confidence and self-worth.
Lack of Ambition : Hufflepuffs are the antithesis of Slytherins. They struggle with ambition and can become stuck in situations which are beneath their capabilities or don't challenge them enough. The crest of Ravenclaw House is an eagle, symbolising wit and learning. Bagui via Wikimedia Commons. Of all the Hogwarts Houses, Ravenclaws get the least amount of attention in the Harry Potter series, and they have the fewest main characters.
Many Ravenclaws are disgruntled by the fact that some characters who exemplify their primary house strengths and culture were sorted elsewhere for example, Hermione and Dumbledore. Despite this, Ravenclaws have a strong sense of house identity and fellowship, and there are many online communities of friendly Ravenclaws willing to welcome a new member into their fold!
Intelligence: While not all Ravenclaws are naturally intelligent, all members of the house have a strong thirst for knowledge and learning that places them among the best students in the Wizarding World, and this quality adds up to a generally high level of intelligence and knowledge among members of the House. Curiosity: One of the main traits that defines the Ravenclaw House is a desire for exploration, inquiry, and learning. Ravenclaws are generally highly curious about the world around them and are constantly asking questions to expand their understanding.
Creativity: Ravenclaws tend to be "out-of-the-box" thinkers and as such can be highly creative. This creativity effects their spell-work and their way of relating to others and also means that many Ravenclaws are artistic and have unique approaches to solving problems. Individuality: Ravenclaws are highly individualistic and don't tend to follow the crowd or succumb to peer pressure.
In essence, they do what they want to do. This is most obviously exemplified by Luna Lovegood, who wears radish-like fruits as earrings and is fiercely true to her own identity, even when people tease her for it. Disconnection From the Outside World : Because Ravenclaws tend to live inside their own heads, they can come across as vague, disconnected, or uninterested.
Some are genuinely disdainful of others and the outside world, but most simply don't understand that their constant daydreaming is inappropriate in certain situations. Arrogance: Ravenclaws can be arrogant about their own intelligence and use it as a justification to view themselves as being better than others. Isolation: Some Ravenclaws purposefully isolate themselves from others This isolation can occur for innocent reasons—for example, if they want to be alone to study for an upcoming test or read a good book—but it can also be a byproduct of arrogance.
They may view themselves as being better than others and may be unwilling to associate with inferiors. The crest of Slytherin House is a serpent, symbolising cunning and ambition. Slytherin House is painted in an overwhelmingly negative light by J. Almost all of the negatively portrayed characters are members of Slytherin, including the main villain, Voldemort, who is a direct descendant of the House's founder.
Despite this, Slytherins all over the world are fighting back against their bad reputation by being valuable and helpful members of the Harry Potter community. Many Slytherins even enjoy the darkness of their reputation and are proud of the strengths of their house.
Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends. Ravenclaw highest on Intellect? Hufflepuff highest on Agreeableness, Emotional Stability, and Conscientiousness? Slytherin highest on Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy?
We use Bayesian order-constrained inference to assess the evidence for these hypotheses. For a gentle introduction which incidentally uses Harry Potter as an example, see Etz and Vandekerckhove First, we specified a restricted model M r that reflected our substantive hypothesis.
This definition reflects our hypothesis that members of a specific House are expected to score the highest when compared with members of other Houses. Second, we estimated a full model M f where the means were allowed to vary freely. In other words, this model reflects a lack of knowledge regarding which House if any will score higher or lower.
Finally, we estimated a model M 0 in which all means were constrained to be equal. This model reflects the hypothesis that House membership is not associated with personality. For each of our hypotheses, we tested which of the three models was supported by the data using Bayes factors. The Bayes factor formalizes how well one model e. Consequently, a higher Bayes factor when comparing M r against M 0 would indicate that data are supporting our hypothesis compared to the hypothesis that all Houses have the same mean.
To compare all three models at once, we transform the Bayes factors into posterior model probabilities. Interpreting these posterior model probabilities requires care. First, we have assigned uniform priors to models, and readers may prefer different priors. Second, by reporting posterior model probabilities, we have effectively reduced the number of possible models to three. Prior information is needed in Bayesian inference.
Overall, individuals scored higher in Intellect and Agreeableness and lower on Dark Triad traits especially Narcissism and Psychopathy , irrespective of House membership. In contrast with Crysel et al. Table 5 displays the posterior model probabilities for each hypothesis. We find that, except for the hypothesis for Emotional Stability, all our hypotheses are supported: the models in which Gryffindor scores the highest on Extraversion, Ravenclaw scores the highest on Intellect, Hufflepuff scores the highest on Agreeableness and Conscientiousness, and Slytherin scores the highest on Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy have the highest posterior probability, respectively.
Note : Due to rounding errors, probabilities can exceed 1. This distribution quantifies the uncertainty about a yet unseen data point for a particular House and dependent variable, given the data we have observed. On each line, shows, for different personality traits, the posterior distribution of the proportion of variance explained by assuming four distinct Houses. Note that variance explained differs substantially between, say, Emotional Stability EmStability with 0.
In our study, similar as in Crysel et al. Conversely, most people who desired a particular House were sorted into that House see Table 3. Following Crysel et al. Thus, the desire to be sorted into a particular House—even if not sorted into that House—has very similar effects compared to being sorted into that House. What about people who have been sorted into a House that they did not desire to be sorted into? If the same pattern of results emerges, we could conclude that Crysel et al.
We tested this by restricting our analysis to participants who were sorted into the Houses they did not desire which resulted in 92 Gryffindors, 90 Hufflepuffs, 55 Ravenclaws, and 58 Slytherins. These results suggest that Crysel et al. We conduct a similar analysis as above for the Human Values data; Figure 4 shows the raw data. Table 6 displays the posterior model probabilities.
Note that the second column indicates our confirmatory hypotheses and that our approach can be easily generalized to multiple order restrictions. Such an order-constrained model is then compared against a null model assuming no differences across Houses and an unrestricted model allowing the House means to vary freely. Our hypotheses for Conformity, Power, and Tradition were strongly supported and received the highest possible support. In particular, Figure 5 shows that the proportion of variance explained in each case varied across Human Values, but was generally low: 4.
The variance explained by the Human Values is slightly lower on average than the variance explained by the personality measures. Raw data boxplots for the Human Values scores across Houses. Note : Due to rounding errors, probabilities could exceed 1. On each line, shows, for different Human Values, the posterior distribution for the proportion of variance explained by assuming four distinct Houses.
Individuals seek to establish connections between fictional elements and themselves, adapting their own views depending on the characteristics and groups identities that represent the main and side characters. Against this background, Crysel et al. In other words, Crysel and colleagues investigated the possibility that Harry Potter fans identify themselves with House-specific personality traits that are congruent with their own personality traits. We aimed to replicate Crysel et al.
To achieve this, we used an alternative, larger sample, and investigated whether similar processes could also be related to the theory of Basic Human Values Schwartz, We also employed a statistical framework that allowed us to more directly map our substantive into statistical hypotheses.
Our results partially support the original claims by Crysel et al. We also demonstrated that the proportion of variance explained was too weak in many cases to merit specific original claims made by Crysel et al. For applied contexts, this means that being a member of a particular Hogwarts House does not reliably predict the relative positioning on personality measures.
An exception is Slytherin, which leads to a larger explained variance for Agreeableness and the Dark Triad. As such, spoilers will be present within the article. Houses at Hogwarts were both the living and learning communities for its students. Each year's group of students in the same House shares the same dormitory and many classes.
The houses compete throughout the school year, by earning and losing points for behaviour. The House with the most points wins the House Cup.
These two competitions breed rivalries between the Houses, the greatest of which is that between Gryffindor and Slytherin. In the early days of Hogwarts, the four founders handpicked students for their Houses.
When the founders worried how students would be selected after their deaths, Godric Gryffindor took his hat off and each "put some brains" in it, creating the Sorting Hat to choose future students for each House. The Sorting Hat announces the House the student is to join. Before beginning the Sorting ceremony, it sings a short song about the founding of the school and the four Houses; the Sorting Hat's songs are different every year, and the Hat is said to take all year composing the next one according to Ronald Weasley.
It is unclear if the Sorting Hat tended to place students based on qualities they valued or rather qualities they exhibited. One example of the former is Peter Pettigrew , who was sorted into Gryffindor but ultimately turned out to be quite cowardly, self-serving and corruptible.
He may have been placed there because, at the time, he admired strong, brave individuals like James Potter and Sirius Black. Other examples include Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle , who despite being stupid and rather lazy, were placed in Slytherin, the House of the cunning and ambitious.
They flocked around Draco Malfoy , who they admired and who exhibited the traits of Slytherin. Hermione Granger , while more than clever enough for Ravenclaw, valued courage above all, and was sorted into Gryffindor, a House she said sounded "by far the best".
The Sorting Hat could detect nascent qualities in a student and place them in the House that would challenge them and put their character to the test. Case in point, Neville Longbottom was sorted into Gryffindor because the Hat sensed that he was capable of demonstrating bravery and leadership during his time at Hogwarts. The Hat also appeared to take the students' wishes into account, considering how one's personal choices are very much of a reflection of the qualities that they valued in themselves.
Harry Potter , for instance, embodied many of the traits that were approved and appreciated by Salazar Slytherin. He was clever, resourceful and cunning, yet the Sorting Hat made him a Gryffindor because the very fact that he asked not to be in Slytherin showed that he did not belong there. A true Slytherin would not have had any doubts about whether or not it was the right House for them.
