Wrong House?

tolkienfan · 11-02-2005, 01:48 AM

Was Percy put into the wrong house? He is described many times as ambitious. He seems kind of Slytherin-like to me, especially after the fifth book. And Hermione seems a little like a Ravenclaw to me, she cetainly values intelligence. But then she does say in the first book that she values bravery more. And Neville seems kind of Hufflepuffish too. So if it's your choices and values that decide where you go more than your skills, does that solve Why is Percy in Gryffindor?? Is he still good?

I don't think the Sorting Hat has ever made a mistake. Neville has come a long way since we first met him, even go so far as to help fight Death Eaters. I also think that Percy will have a moment of redemption in the last book.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I hope so, because I used to like Percy until the fifth book.

let me put it this way, does the hat choose the person based on what he will do, or will the person act according to the house he was in??? that's something to think about when you get these "on the edge" isues, yes neville is a very very hard worker, but was he predestined to fight death eaters, or does he only do it because he says "if the sorting hat puts me in gryfindor it must be because I'm brave"???

Well, Dumbledore said that it's your choices that matter, and that's why Harry didn't go to Slytherin right?

harry didnt go to slitherin because he had too much bravery and courage and he also said to the hat that he didnt want to go into slitherin and plus everyone hates him in slitherin so what would be the point of him going into slitherin if they want to kill and do revenge on harry?

no no hes too stuck up to be in slitherin but the slitherins think that the weasleys are blood traitors and stuff no the would kill him if he was in slitherins but along those lines he is pretty snobby and ambitious...
