Before you can join in on all the other Hogwarts activities, you need to have a house! The four houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Each has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. I hope you are a credit to whatever house becomes yours.

1. Number the houses in the order from your favorite to least favorite.
2. Why do you feel you should be in your top choice?
3. Picture this. You're passing in the halls when you see the school bully teasing a defensless first year. You: (a) Walk past, sniggering. (b) Run and get a teacher. (c) Confront the bully and tell him to stop pushing around younger kids. (d) Wait until the bullly's had his fun then go and comfort the first year. (e) Give the bully a big punch in the nose.
4. Who is your favorite Harry Potter character and why?
5. Another thinking question. You're in a test and you see your best friend cheating. You: (a) Don't do anything. He's your best friend, for goodness' sake! (b) After the test is done, you talk to him about cheating, and tell him it's not right. (c) Jump up, point your finger, and yell out that he's a cheater. (d) Tell a teacher after the test, and let him or her deal with it
. 6. Ok, just one more. You overhear a plot some of your good friends made up to seriously hurt your arch enemy. You: (a) Tell them not to go through with it, they could get in serious trouble! (b) Tell an adult. Someone could get seriously hurt. (c) Jump in and join them. This is the perfect chance to get back at your worst enemy! (d) Don't join them, but don't tell anyone. That way, you can't get in trouble, but your enemy might very well still get hurt!
Please try to answer these as truthfully as possible. Again, please e-mail your answers to alexloon@aol.com. I'll e-mail you your house as soon as possible, and the url to your house common room as soon as they're ready (which will be soon, I promise!) People! When you're being sending your sorting e-mail, pleeeeeease remember to add your Hogwarts name! Otherwise, I don't know what to put if you sign up for Quidditch or anything like that!
