Harry Potter: Which Wizarding Family Do You Belong In?

Every fan of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter has thought about what life would be like if they were a part of that Wizarding World. Dreaming about going to Hogwarts, being sorted into a house, spending time at Diagon Alley and watching Quidditch matches, and of course… that most important thing of all: learning how to do magic! Almost every element of this complex and detailed world appeals to the fans (although few people would want to have to hunt Horcruxes or actually take on the Dark Lord himself!). And while most fans like to imagine that they would've received that Hogwarts letter in their own homes, others have even daydreamed about being raised in the wizarding world as part of a family of magical people. Imagine knowing about magic since childhood, growing up with toy broomsticks that actually fly and parents who can charm a sponge to wash the dishes so that you never have to. It would be a childhood unlike any other, and one where real magic is part of everyday life.

If you grew up in the wizarding world, which family would you be born into? Are you one of the powerful (and snobby) purebloods or part of a family that's a little cozier and kinder, like the Weasleys? Or are you just a Muggle through and through?

Question 1

Which Hogwarts house would you be in?

You’ve arrived at Hogwarts for your first year, but before you can enjoy the feast, it’s time to put on the Sorting Hat! Which house are you going to be in? Are you a brave Gryffindor, a wise Ravenclaw, a cunning Slytherin, or a loyal Hufflepuff?

Question 2

What is your favorite Hogwarts subject?

What class do you look forward to most at Hogwarts? Do you love mixing potions in a cauldron, or re-potting mandrakes in Herbology? Do you find charms the most fun, or would you prefer to be bent over a book in Arithmancy?

Question 3

What's your favorite season at Hogwarts?

Assuming that you spend the holidays at Hogwarts, instead of going home, which is your favorite season? Do you love the new semester that starts in the fall, or do you dream of lazy summer days? Is Hogwarts at its best in the snow or the spring?

Question 4

What position would you play on the Quidditch team?

You’re picked for the house Quidditch team, but what position are you playing? Are you best as a Beater, working as part of a pair, or as a Seeker, above the hustle of the main game? Are you a reliable Keeper or a fierce Chaser?

Question 5

What are you doing at the Yule Ball?

It’s time for the Yule ball, the Great Hall is filled with trees and icicles and floating candles, and you’ve got your dress robes on… but where will you be found when the party's in full swing?

Question 6

What are you wearing under your school robes?

The Hogwarts students may have to wear black school robes during the day, but during the rest of their time at Hogwarts, witches and wizards-in-training wear whatever they like. What’s under your robes or in your trunk to wear to Hogsmeade?

Question 7

Who's your favorite teacher at Hogwarts?

Not your favorite subject, but your favorite professor - who's the one you wish was your head of house, whose classes you look forward to but that you might actually turn to if there's a problem outside of class?

Question 8

Where do you go first in Hogsmeade?

It’s time for a Hogsmeade weekend, so what’s first on the agenda when you head to Great Britain’s only all-wizarding village? Are you after a butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, or do you want to stock up at Zonkos or Honeydukes?

Question 9

What’s your favorite food at the school feast?

Definitely, the most mouth-watering part of being a Hogwarts student is all the feasting. Start of term feats, end of term feasts, holiday feasts… what’s the thing that you look forward to most when it comes to feasting times?

Question 10

How do you decorate your space in the dorms?

You may not spend much time in the dorms when there are all those classes to go to, Hogsmeade to visit, the grounds to explore… but how do you make that little space that’s all your own really feel like it's all your own?

Question 11

What do you drink at the three broomsticks?

You’re in Hogsmeade at the Three Broomsticks (and of legal age, of course - this isn’t the Hog’s Head!) - what do you order from Rosmerta at the bar? Is it Butterbeer for you or something stronger? Or maybe just a nice chilled pumpkin juice?

Question 12

Which broomstick do you ride?

When you take to the Quidditch field or even just when you're playing in the back garden during the school holidays, what broomstick are you riding? Have you always got the latest, fastest model, or are you happy with the classics?

Question 13

What animal do you bring to Hogwarts with you?

You're allowed one animal to bring with you to Hogwarts, so what are you packing when it comes to pets? Do you want something soft and snuggly to keep you company or something a little more practical, like an owl?

Question 14

Pick some light reading for the train.

Obviously, you're going to spend a lot of time on the train catching up with friends (or talking about summer plans), but it’s a long way to the Highlands, and there’s still time to read. What are you bringing to peruse in your spare time?

Question 15

Which is your favorite fantastic beast?

There are dozens of magical and fantastic beasts in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, but which is your favorite? Do you look up to the dangerous, or are you after something a little more functional… or just a little bit cute?

Question 16

What magical career would you choose?

Your time at Hogwarts may be magical, but it isn’t going to last forever. What are your plans for when the wizarding schooldays are done? Are you headed for great things or something a little bit more down-to-earth for your career?

Question 17

What do you get in trouble for at school?

Even if you didn’t go to wizarding school, you probably went to school somewhere… and no one's a perfect student! What was it that you got in trouble for when you were a student… even if it was only once?

Question 18

Where would you have been during the Battle of Hogwarts?

If you were a member of the wizarding world when Voldemort and Harry Potter had their final showdown, where would you have been found? Which side would you have been battling on, or are you more the type to refuse to fight at all?

Question 19

Did you believe the Boy Who Lived from the start?

When the wizarding world was divided over the rumored return of Voldemort, whose side were you on? Did you rally to the side of Dumbledore and the Boy Who Lived from the start, or were you suspicious of the whole thing?

Question 20

What's your favorite place in Diagon Alley?

It’s time to head to London and visit Diagon Alley and stock up on everything you need - and a few things that you just want. You’ve got all day, but which store do you head to first?

Question 21

What wood is your wand made of?

You’ve gone to Ollivander’s to get your wand, that wonderful item that's the most important tool you have when it comes to doing magic. Your wand says a lot about you, though - what kind of wood is yours made of?

Question 22

If you were an Animagus, what would you be?

If you had the ability to turn into an animal whenever you chose (and of course, if you registered yourself properly, unlike the Marauders!) what kind of creature would you turn into? Are you domesticated and easy to overlook or something a bit wilder?

Question 23

What’s your go-to spell when dueling?

Whether it's a friendly dueling match at school or fighting for your life against dark wizards, what's the curse that you always go for first - that trusty curse that you can fling out without even thinking when you need it most?

Question 24

Which dragon would you most like to face in the Triwizard Cup?

You've been chosen as school champion in the Triwizard Cup, and it’s time for the first task - snagging a golden egg from a dragon! Whether you go for battling it outright or trying something a little sneakier, which one would you want to face?

Question 25

Which wizarding school would you go to?

Obviously, the wizarding school that everyone knows best is Hogwarts itself, but if you had the choice, would you be going there or somewhere else entirely? Would you enjoy the strictness of Durmstrang or the gentleness of Beauxbatons? Or maybe it would be Ilvermorny for you?

Question 26

How do you feel about Muggles and Muggle-Borns?

Muggles - you either love ‘em or you hate ‘em! Are you a wizard who believes that Muggles are just like magical folk, or would you rather see them worshipping the magical community? Maybe you're somewhere in between?

Question 27

What’s your favorite story from Beedle the Bard?

Every wizarding child knows the tales of Beedle the Bard! Which of these childhood classics is your favorite? Are you most interested in the Tale of the Three Brothers, or do you prefer something a little lighter? Babbity Rabbity, perhaps?

Question 28

What’s your Patronus?

Hopefully, you’ll never have to face down a Dementor, but if you do, what shape is the Patronus that you're going to conjure up to drive the dastardly thing away? Do you have a huge beast or something smaller that simply makes you happy?

Question 29

Pick one of the Deathly Hallows.

Obviously, any wizard would want the entirety of the Deathly Hallows - who wouldn’t want to be the true master of death and the most powerful wizard in the world? But if you can only have one, which do you pick?

Question 30

What would you buy at Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes?

You’re at Diagon Alley, and it’s time to pick up a few little things just to put a smile on your face. The only place to go is (obviously) Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes! What do you pick up?

Question 31

What do you see in the Mirror of Erised?

Don’t get addicted and waste away in front of it, but have a little look in the Mirror of Erised, and tell us what you see. What's your greatest desire in the Wizarding World? (It’s not a pair of warm socks!)

Question 32

Are you a pureblood?

Is your family line one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight who still have blood that's purer than pure and who have all-magical family behind you, or are there muggles and muggle-borns in your family tree? Do you even know your blood status?

Question 33

What’s your home like?

Even if you spend most of your time at Hogwarts, it’s still only your home away from home. Tell us about your real home - is it a cozy country home like the Burrow or more of a city pied-a-terre?

Question 34

How would you deal with a Basilisk?

You’ve ended up in the Chamber of Secrets, and there’s an enormous snake bearing down on you - what do you do? Are you brave enough to face it, or is it impossible to run away fast enough?

Question 35

Which is your favorite of the Harry Potter books?
