- Hello, hello, hello my friends.
Kaitlyn here and what's my Hogwarts House?
(upbeat electronic music)
So growing up, I was a huge Harry Potter fan,
like I read the first book when I was in 4th grade
and my best friend and I would play our own
like Harry Potter Hogwarts games where we were
like characters inside of the books.
One of the big things about Harry Potter is
kind of wondering what is your Hogwarts House?
And so everybody has like their own opinions
and you wanna take quizzes about what it is
and so I had always imagined myself as a Ravenclaw
because I went to William and Mary,
I was like top of my class and just always like
reading books and learning and stuff,
but when Pottermore first came out
and there was like an official Sorting Hat
quiz made by JK Rowling,
I took that and I was actually sorted into Gryffindor,
and I was like, oh, okay, well, I guess I can
see this because Hermione's in Gryffindor,
you can still be really smart and stuff,
that makes sense and then a couple years later
they relaunched Pottermore and had like
a lot more stuff on it and so I wanted to
go back and look and found that I couldn't
access my original account,
so I had to take the sorting quiz again.
I was like, that's fine, I'll just be Gryffindor again,
obviously, but when I took it, I was actually
sorted into Slytherin and I was like, what?!
How could I possibly be a Slytherin,
that just seems crazy to me.
Okay, so the Sorting Hat says about Gryffindor:
"you might belong in Gryffindor,
"where dwell the brave at heart,
"their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart."
Okay, makes sense, so what did it say about Slytherin?
"Or perhaps in Slytherin,
"You'll make your real friends,
"those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends."
Generally, we think of Slytherin as like
cunning and ambitious, right?
We tend to take that negatively and I don't think
that JK Rowling intended for ambition,
cunning, resourcefulness, to just be a negative thing.
So what I wanted to do is to take a couple of quizzes online
including the Pottermore quiz again,
and definitively decide, with the internet as my witness,
what Hogwarts House I'm actually in,
because now people ask me what it is and I'm like,
I don't know anymore, but we're gonna do this
and we're gonna accept whatever the results are.
So, first quiz is a BuzzFeed quiz
because obviously BuzzFeed is the internet's
foremost place to go for quizzes, right?
"You've made it to Hogwarts, which means you've already
"bought a wand from Ollivander's.
"What material is at its core?"
Unicorn hair, of course.
"During the end-of-year exams,
"you notice that one of your classmates
"is using an enchanted quill."
I feel like I'd be somewhere between encouraging
the other student and then doing nothing,
just because sometimes I'm like,
uh, just leave it alone unless someone else,
you know, it's affecting me directly.
Let's go with encourage the other student (laughs).
That's probably the Gryffindor answer,
I think at heart I wanna be a Gryffindor,
is really what happens.
"You would be most hurt if a person called you"
(stammers) ignorant.
"You're locked in a duel with a skilled opponent.
"They fire an unknown spell at you, and you shout:"
This one seems like weighted to be Slytherin
as like evil, that's not cool.
Probably Expelliarmus, I mean,
disarm them, then they can't do anything.
"Which of these most accurately describes
"your relationship with your closest friends?"
Surrounding myself with people, no (laughs).
I mean, like I am wary around new people,
but that doesn't describe my relationship
with my closest friends, so no.
"Which of your skills are you most proud of?"
Definitely not to make new friends,
we all know I'm very bad at that,
so yeah, absorb new information.
"You're allowed a pet at Hogwarts:"
A cat, obviously.
"Choose a Deathly Hallow."
Don't you have to choose the Cloak of Invisibility?
Didn't we learn that the other two were like the bad ones?
"And finally: We know the Sorting Hat takes into account
"your preferences, so which Hogwarts House
"do you feel you identify the most closely?"
Let's do Gryffindor, cause that's the one I felt like it,
(bell dings) hey, okay, see,
see, now look at this.
Alright, so BuzzFeed says I'm Gryffindor.
I feel like I've taken this before
and I've gotten this like exact result, so,
who knows, who knows, this is why we're gonna take multiple
and two out of three is what we're gonna go for.
So the second one is gonna be this Time quiz.
It's like done by social scientists, yeah.
"Social scientist from Cambridge University
"to create a science-based quiz
"on which House best matches your personality."
"If there is an important reason to face something
"that scares me, I will face it."
Yeah, definitely, if it's important.
"I tend to manipulate others to get my way."
Mmm, yes?
"I've used flattery to get my way."
Not necessarily.
"If I'm worried or anxious about something,
"I will do or face it anyway," yeah.
I hate it, but I do.
I see myself as oh, definitely not disorganized or careless.
"I wouldn't want people to treat me
"as though I were superior to them."
I guess, yeah.
"I will do things even though they seem to be dangerous."
Well, it depends, like, if I have to do them, yes.
If I don't have to do them, not so much.
"I'm an ordinary person who is no better than others."
I mean, I like to think of myself as special.
Like I don't really think that I'm really
better than others, but somewhere in between.
"I tend to exploit others toward my own end."
I don't really think so.
"I have used deceit or lied to get my way."
Maybe, sometimes, five (laughs).
"I often push myself very hard when trying to
"achieve a goal," yes (laughs).
Hufflepuff, what?
I've never been sorted into Hufflepuff before.
"Your personality shows a high degree of friendliness
"and humility, which are valued among
"members of Hufflepuff House."
What the heck, why did Pottermore sort me into Slytherin?
Alright, let's see what Pottermore says.
Uh, we can't really do two out of three,
if we get a different answer on every one.
"Moon or stars," stars.
"Four boxes are placed before you.
"Which would you try and open?"
"The small pewter box, unassuming and plain,"
uh, this one, I don't know.
"If you could have any power, which would you choose?"
Invisibility, sometimes I already feel like I have that.
Power to change the past, ooh, I would be change the past.
"Which of the following do you find
"most difficult to deal with?"
Honestly I feel like maybe cold.
I get so cranky when I'm cold.
"How would you like to be known in history?"
Kaitlyn the Wise, Kaitlyn the Good,
Kaitlyn the Great, Kaitlyn the Bold.
Either be great or bold.
Feel like probably great is where I would go.
"Left or right?"
Uh, right? (bell dings)
Okay (laughs) see?
I've now been sorted into three different Houses.
So Pottermore definitively sorts me into Slytherin.
This is two different times that I've been sorted
into Slytherin, but the other two quizzes I took
had such a low percentage of Slytherin,
one was 0.3%, one was 17%,
but Pottermore says that I'm Slytherin.
Let's try one more, tie breaker, tie breaker quiz.
"You're making a PowerPoint presentation
"for a class project, you: take charge,
"organize everyone and end up doing
"almost everything (laughs)," probably.
"When you die, you hope to:
"have achieved success and traveled the world."
Mmm hmm, yeah, achieve success.
"Which of these entertainment professions
"most appeals to you?"
The screenwriter, the storyteller.
"How do you flirt with someone you like?"
Not very well (sucks teeth).
Probably trying to have a real, deep conversation,
which is why I'm bad at flirting.
"In high school, your favorite extracurricular was:"
I guess student club cause it was like dance.
"You get home from the corner store
"and notice you were a little undercharged."
Probably don't worry about it, like I feel bad about it,
but I would be like, yay, extra dollars.
"Your idea of a worthwhile summer vacation is:
"hanging out and catching up with friends back home," no.
"Parachuting or diving off cliffs," no.
I guess a good book cause not many of these sound great.
"You hear that a girl in your class just switched
"to writing the same essay topic you've been
"working on since September.
"Resent her from afar, but say nothing,"
(laughs) probably.
"How do you get your time alone when you want it?"
Yeah, I've found that I just like tell people,
"I need to have Kaitlyn time, bye."
"When planning a group trip, you are the one who:"
It's either the first or the last one.
I'm not very good at traveling,
so it's difficult to like say that I would be
the one who took the reins on travel plans,
let's be the backup leader, who knows,
I don't even know at this point.
(bell dings) Oh my gosh!
(laughs) Guys, "you would be a Ravenclaw."
Oh, man.
Holy cow, guys, alright.
I was all like this is gonna be the definitive,
definitive answer for my Hogwarts House
and all I have learned is that
depending on which quiz I take,
I get a different answer.
So, I don't know, I don't know anymore
what House I should be in.
My question for today is What Hogwarts House
do you think I should be in,
because wow, I wasn't expecting this.
I thought that maybe I would get Gryffindor on one
and then Slytherin on the other two,
so yeah, question for today, you've seen me
answer these questions, what do you think
my Hogwarts House is?
And you can also tell me yours in the comments
down below, but (groans) I'm so confused.
I don't (fake crying), I just want an answer.
I'm exhausted (laughs).
Remember that you can check me out on my other social media sites

And I am just gonna go contemplate my
Harry Potter world existence because I don't

(laughs) (upbeat electronic music)
