House: Gryffindor

House Attributes: Bravery, courage, chivalry

House Positions: Quidditch Seeker

Though Harry doubts his worthiness for Gryffindor, the determined courage that allows him to eventually defeat Voldemort despite everything more than proves his place within the house, as does his firm sense of morality and kindness.

House: Gryffindor

House Attributes: Nerve, bravery, courage.

House Positions: Prefect

Though her intelligence and wit might initially suggest that Hermione would be a perfect fit for Ravenclaw, or her hard-working nature indicates Hufflepuff, Hermione's consistent bravery, even-keel, and nerves of steel in the face of continual danger make her the perfect Gryffindor.

Ron Weasley

House: Gryffindor

House Attributes: Bravery, courage, loyalty.

House Positions: Quidditch Keeper, Prefect

Though he has his moments of fear, Ron's bravery and loyalty show through in the first book/film and only grow stronger from there. Interestingly, all Weasleys have been sorted into the Gryffindor house, and all but two Weasleys have played on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Ginny Weasley

House: Gryffindor

House Attributes: Bravery, courage, loyalty

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​None

Independent and capable, Ginny is a strong and gifted witch who demonstrates her bravery in the face of any threat. She wields this courage to fight alongside Harry multiple times against Voldemort and his forces.

Fred & George Weasley

House: Gryffindor

House Attributes: Nerve, courage, bravery, loyalty

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​Quidditch Beaters

This inseparable pair, despite their penchant for pranks and general mischief, are good-natured and endlessly loyal to their friends and family. They'd go on to join Dumbledore's Army and later the Order of the Phoenix, as well as opening and running Weasley's Wizard Wheezings, a joke shop.

Draco Malfoy

House: Slytherin

House Attributes: Ambition, cunning, resourcefulness

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​Quidditch Seeker, Prefect

Rude, sly, and a backhanded bully, Draco Malfoy serves as our primary introduction to how Slytherin house is viewed. But despite sharing a house with so many villians of the series, Draco would have something of a redemption arc, leaving behind the more pointed animosity towards Harry by the end of the series and even teaming up with him in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Luna Lovegood

House: Ravenclaw

House Attributes: Intelligence, learning, wisdom.

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​None

J.K. Rowling has called Luna an "anti-Hermione" with her airy manner and belief in unproven things. However, the two are more alike than this title would imply, as Luna is notably smart, perceptive, honest, and wise, all in line with her Ravenclaw status. ​​​​​​​

Neville Longbottom

House: Gryffindor

House Attributes: Bravery, courage, chivalry, loyalty.

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​None

Neville himself questioned why he'd been placed in the house of bravery and not Hufflepuff. It isn't until the series finale, when Neville plays a critical role in the downfall of Voldemort, that he feels he's finally grown into the Gryffindor title.

Cho Chang

House: Ravenclaw

House Attributes: Intelligence, learning, wit

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​Quidditch Seeker

Cho would maintain a kind, smart disposition despite the tumultuous events she goes through. She'd join Dumbledore's Army and has a strong sense of loyalty.

Cedric Diggory

House: Hufflepuff

House Attributes: Patience, loyalty, hard work

​​​​​​​House Positions: ​​​​​​​Quidditch Seeker and later Team Leader, Prefect

The only Hufflepuff on our list, Cedric was a popular and accomplished student with a kind heart. He was a skilled Quidditch player and went on to participate in the Triwizard Tournament with Harry Potter.
