Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff are the four houses from "summary" of Harry Potter: Exploring Hogwarts by Jody Revenson
The four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are an integral part of the magical institution's identity. Each house has its own unique qualities and characteristics that set it apart from the others. Gryffindor, known for bravery and courage, was founded by Godric Gryffindor. Slytherin, on the other hand, values ambition and cunning, reflecting the traits of its founder, Salazar Slytherin. Ravenclaw, founded by Rowena Ravenclaw, values intelligence and wit above all else. Finally, Hufflepuff, founded by Helga Hufflepuff, values hard work, dedication, and loyalty. These houses serve as more than just a place for students to sleep and eat; they are communities that offer support, friendship, and a sense of belonging to the students who reside in them. Upon arrival at Hogwarts, each student is sorted into one of the four houses by the magical Sorting Hat. The Sorting Hat takes into account the student's qualities, values, and desires before determining which house they belong to. Once sorted, students will spend the rest of their time at Hogwarts living, learning, and growing alongside their housemates. Each house has its own common room, dormitories, and house colors, as well as a unique house ghost. The house system fosters a sense of camaraderie and competition within the school. Students earn house points for good behavior and academic achievement, while points can also be deducted for rule-breaking. At the end of each school year, the house with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a prestigious honor that is highly coveted by all students. The four houses of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff form the foundation of Hogwarts and play a significant role in shaping the experiences and memories of the students who attend the school.
