Random Monday poll

I was just thinking the other day that most of my friends (the ones who've read and enjoyed Harry Potter, that is) identify strongly with either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. A couple have identified as Slytherins, and I think I might well be the only one who considers herself a Hufflepuff.

Then I realized that I always talk to the same people about this sort of thing, so I thought I would put the question more broadly to my flist, out of curiosity.

Here's the thing---

I'd *like* to think I'd be sorted into Ravenclaw.

My fear is that I'd be sorted into Hufflepuff.

I'd also like to think that based on will alone, if nothing else, I'd get the House I wanted!

(Why do you think Hufflepuff for yourself? I would have pegged you as a Ravenclaw fer sure.)

The fact that your fear Hufflepuff makes you wise, and shows you read the books, so Ravenclaw it is! Well done. Now go read something.

I identify a bit more with Hufflepuff (loyalty to friends, inclusion, perseverance, hard work, community service, etc.) than with Ravenclaw (academia and knowledge). I think the Sorting Hat would have trouble placing me, to be honest: the only House I really don't belong in is Slytherin (I'm neither cunning nor sly nor ambitious).

My chief problem with Hufflepuff is that they tend to be very conservsative. Also, the hard working thing . . . yeah, see, I'd rather just curl up with a book.
