Gryffindor

“GRYFFINDOR!”

“GRYFFINDOR!” It’s what lots of kids all over the world dream about hearing.  My kids love to pretend that they are going to Hogwarts when they turn eleven.  I have heard large groups of kids(twenty-two) at my kids birthday party discuss with great seriousness and enthusiasm which House they would like to be sorted into at Hogwarts.  After our sorting each child proudly talked about the superiority of their House.  One girl had wanted to be in the strangest house, so when she was put into Slytherin she was ecstatic.   Which House a person would be in if Hogwarts was real is even a topic I have heard many adults discuss.  It is just fun to imagine what it would have been like to attend school there.

After the help my friend gave me at my kid’s birthday party my husband and I wanted some way to show our gratitude for her help.  Having previously discussed with her which house she would have wanted to be in I thought it might be Slytherin since that was her daydream as a kid. Then I thought about the Gryffindor gear that she wears.  So we asked her husband to get a definitive answer from her which House she would want to be in without letting her know what he was doing.  The answer came back about two weeks later, Gryffindor.
