Special Edition Public Post: Why Are You in Your Hogwarts House?
On Monday we asked you to submit your responses on an experience that helped you realize or confirmed which Hogwarts house you belong in! Well, we received hundreds of funny, surprising, and amazing responses, so it's a shame we could only choose a total of eleven to display! If your response is not on here today, don't worry, because you will have another chance to enter in next month's special edition post. No matter where you're from, you have a chance of winning the joy to see your response published for thousands to see all over the world! What's better than that? Well, maybe a Hogwarts letter, but doesn't this come close? So without further ado, here are the winners of the February special edition post, and may the odds of appearing be ever in your favor (wrong fandom, I know)!
Honorary Mention: Hans ~ Holland
I always considered myself a Hufflepuff, but everyone I know kept saying I was a Slytherin. I didn't believe them until one time me and a bunch of other people went to the movies, and there was this kid who kept following me around. Finally, I turned around and asked him what he wanted, and he literally said in the most scared voice ever, 'I'm sorry Mr. Malfoy, I just wanted an autograph!" That's when I realized I need to switch over to Slytherin.

I identify as a Ravenclaw, and what really confirmed it happened during my freshman year of university. The first day, I got to class a little late (I'm almost never late), and all the students thought I was the professor because of how stuffed with books my bag was!
9. Ray ~ France
I'm a hard core Gryffindor, and what happened to me that ultimately proved it is epic (in my opinion at least). I was playing truth or dare and picked dare (obviously) and my challenge was to preform a song at the talent show a week later. Now you have to understand I hate going onstage, but I decided it was time to face my fears. The day of the performance I was freaking out but still went onstage. I was so awkward I accidentally bumped into the huge speakers which fell from the stage and broke, and I fell right after them right on the first row. It was really embarrassing but now I don't have stage fright anymore because I figure nothing worse can happen!

I am a Slytherin. The event that made this happen was me being born. *Drop the mic*
7. Eunice ~ Singapore
I didn't think I would ever identify as a Hufflepuff, but one time me and a friend made a bet, and if I lost it I would have to have to identify as a Hufflepuff forever. I lost the bet. SOOOOOOO, GOOOOO HUFFLEPUFF :(
6. Mairon ~ Spain
I was born into a family of Slytherins so I never really had a choice. Very soon I told my parents I can't stand it any longer and I actually want to be in Gryffindor. Things were never the same, my mom and dad are still crying.
5. Theodore ~ Norway
My daughter came to me one day and asked me what house I belong to. I told her I am a Slytherin and she got so mad she took the tent from the garage and slept in the yard for a night because she said 'Gryffindors and Slytherins hate each other'. I tried luring her back in with cookies and other bribes but she wouldn't badge. She said unless I become a Gryffindor she will never talk to me again, so writing this is not a hardcore Slytherin, but a weak-willed Gryffindor.
4. Josephine ~ Italy
It's obvious what confirmed which house I should be in! The quiz on this blog! No, I'm totally not sucking up to be in a post. Yes, I am a Hufflepuff.
3. Frank ~ USA
Proof I am a Ravenclaw - when I was younger the teacher in our high school was so bad, I ended up literally teaching the class while he just sat in his desk. I even gave the kids quizzes and tests and stuff. One time the teacher took one of my quizzes and failed...
2. Phil ~ USA
My sister always said Hufflepuffs are overly nice and cuddly and stuff, but I never took her seriously. One year on my birthday, I came home and saw all the floor in my room was completely covered in yellow and black teddy bears. There was a note above everyting 'for the overly nice and cuddly Hufflepuff of the family'. Whatever.
1. Azucena ~ Peru
My brother said I am not a Ravencalw so I rigged a trap in his room so that when he opens the door a water gun shoots at him and a banner opens that says 'Azucena is Ravenclaw'. I filmed the whole thing, it was one of the funniest things I ever saw. If you aren't a Ravenclaw, you can't build something like that.
