no_takebacksApologies if some of you aren't Harry Potter fans, but seeing as part one of Deathly Hallows hits the US tomorrow and almost everyone is talking about it, I thought this would be a fitting day to don the Hogwarts Galactic Fleet Academy Sorting Hat (Sorting...helmet?)
For those not magically initiated, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a rather controversial way of sorting students into houses, in which students put on a very old stinky talking hat, the hat tells them based on personality traits (or other arbitrary factors) what house they should live in, thus determining their entire social life both throughout their schooling but probably during their adult lives, all in a matter of seconds. I have a feeling spunky young Kara would tell Dumbledore this is major B.S., but that's the way it is.
The houses are these:
Gryffindor, valuing courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and chivalry.
Ravenclaw, valuing intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit.
Hufflepuff, valuing hard work, tolerance, loyalty, and fair play.
And Slytherin house values ambition, cunning, leadership, resourcefulness (bonus points if you have pure wizard blood).
Feel free to discuss away in comments how much Kara would kick ass at Quidditch, what Lee's best subject at Hogwarts would be, etc. But EVERYONE LOVES A POLL, so:
[Poll #1645886]

Date: 2010-11-18 02:21 pm (UTC)We also thought about the flaws inherent to the particular Houses, as well as their traditional virtues. Though not everyone would agree, we thought the flaws of Gryffindor are recklessness and explosive temper, the flaws of Ravenclaw are a certain passivity and abstractedness, the flaws of Hufflepuff are a tendency to be followers rather than leaders, and the flaws of Slytherin are ruthlessness and amorality.
Given that, we sorted Lee into Ravenclaw (intelligent, principled, decides issues based on ideas rather than personal allegiances, has the confidence to lead but sometimes deals with problems too passively) and Kara into Gryffindor (courageous, a born leader, reckless, tempermental, most comfortable in the midst of the action).
And for the record we put:
Bill in Gryffindor
Roslin in Slytherin
Tigh in Hufflepuff
Baltar in Ravenclaw
Helo in Hufflepuff
Tyrol in Gryffindor
Leoben in Ravenclaw (!! "In that case, I would say that a circle has no ending." / "Nicely phrased.")
Six in Gryffindor
Kat in Gryffindor
Hot Dog in Hufflepuff FTW!!
