Now, like every good Potter fan, we know our Hogwarts houses — and the good, the bad, and the ugly that come with each one. Slytherins are cunning, Gryffindors are brave, Hufflpuff’s loyal, and Ravenclaw’s smart. We know generally how they fare in Wizarding World situations, but how would the houses rank in everyday Muggle (and other-worldly) experiences?

That’s what we discussed recently, and things got hilarious. Here are the results.

Here’s How the Harry Potter Houses Would Rank in the Most Obscure Ways Possible:

Most Likely to Escape an Escape Room in Record Time:

1. Ravenclaw – duh.

2. Slytherin – put that ambition to good use!

3. Gryffindor – would try to use physical force to muscle the door open, but would still be kinda helpful.

4. Hufflepuff – just hopes everyone has fun.

  1. Too funny!! I loved it. What about how do the different houses rank as parents? Teachers? What would be the best job for each house?

    Thanks for this fun post!

  2. I actually agree with this list. I am surprised. I thought Molly would be biased in favor of Slytherin!! It was actually fair!! I am surprised she didn’t rank Slytherin number one on everything.
