Is this the official Harry Potter house quiz?
No. This is an unofficial, fan-made quiz. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros.
How many questions are in the Harry Potter house quiz?
Twelve. Most people finish in about two minutes. You can go back and change earlier answers before you submit the last one.
Which Hogwarts houses can I get?
All four. You can be sorted into Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw.
Is this a Sorting Hat quiz?
In spirit, yes. In the books, a magic hat decides each student's house. Here, twelve everyday questions do that job. Each answer gives points to one or two houses, and the house with the most points at the end is yours. If two houses tie, your most recent answers decide it.
How accurate is this house quiz?
It's a fun quiz, not a psychological test, so treat it as a conversation starter. It is harder to game than most, because no question names a house or asks which trait you prefer. If you pick what you'd actually do rather than what sounds best, the result tends to land.
Is it based on the books or the HBO series?
It works for both. The quiz only uses the four houses and what each one values, which readers and viewers learn right at the start. Nothing in the questions or results depends on a specific scene.
Do you save my answers?
No. Your answers stay in your browser while you take the quiz and are never sent to a server. We don't ask for your name, email, or age.
Can I retake the quiz?
Yes, as many times as you like. Use the Retake button on your result page, or start again from this page.
