If 'Parks And Recreation' Characters Went To Hogwarts

Haven't we all wondered what Hogwarts house or favorite Parks and Rec characters would be in?

Everyone knows that Leslie Knope loves Harry Potter so what better thing to do than to put on my sorting hat and place the characters from Parks and recreation into the various Hogwarts houses.

Lets begin...

1. Leslie Knope- Gryffindor

Leslie is of course a Gryffindor. She is brave and courageous and full of loyalty. She serves the town of Pawnee without wavering and would never abandon them in a time of need. Leslie has shown many times that by using her chivalrous traits, she can come out the other end as the winner of any battle. Gryffindor's symbol is also a lion, which I believe Leslie would strongly identify with.


2. Ann Perkins - Hufflepuff

Ann is a beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful muskox and also a Hufflepuff. Ann would be sorted into Hufflepuff for the reason that she is extremely hard working, caring and dedicated and as a nurse how can you not be? Although Hufflepuff isn't the most popular house, I believe Ann would make it very popular very quick due to her friendly personality and need to have control of situations.


3. Ben Wyatt - Ravenclaw

Ben has to be one of the most smartest people at of everyone from Parks and Rec gang (but don't tell Leslie I said that). He is clever and quick witted and loves to gain more knowledge anyway possible. Ben is also a total nerd which I think is a quality wildly accepted in the Ravenclaw house as a norm.


4. April Ludgate - Slytherin

April is ambitious, resourceful and cunning: all attributes every great Slytherin should have. April, like most Slytherins, comes off as cold and mean but deep down you know they are warmhearted people, even if they don't show it.


5. Andy Dwyer - Hufflepuff


Andy is the embodiment of a Hufflepuff. He is loyal, dedicated and hard working. Although he may not have as patience as most Hufflepuffs, he is a great guy whom you can always count on in a pinch.


6. Ron Swanson - Gryffindor

Although Ron could possibly fall into either Slytherin or Gryffindor, I believe he would find his place in Gryffindor. That being because he is exceptionally brave and, as we see throughout the series, extremely adventurous, especially when there are riddles involved. Ron is always there for the gang in one way or another helping out and making sure things are happening.


7. Donna Meagle - Ravenclaw

My selection for Donna may surprise you a bit, I know. However, Ravenclaw is the house who values intelligence, knowledge and wit. Whether that's knowledge on what the Kardashians are up to or knowledge about something a little more serious. Never the less, Ravenclaw is perfect for Donna. Let's be honest; with all her witty quips how could she not be a Ravenclaw?


8. Tom Haverford - Slytherin

Tom is one of the most ambitious people in the show and that's what makes him a perfect fit for Slytherin. He never gives up on his ideas, no matter how they turn out. Tom also comes off as a person who would be a "pure-blood" who would like to stick with other "pure-bloods" in order to seem cool.


9. Chris Traeger - Hufflepuff

Chris is loyal and kind and always sees the sunny side of things. He is very active, stays in great shape and always eats healthy, which may be considered unusual for Hufflepuff's considering their dormitories are located next to the kitchens and their founder was a notorious snackster. Either way Chris fits perfectly in Hufflepuff because of his kind nature and loyal spirit.


10. Jerry/Larry/Terry/Gary Gergich - Hagrid

No one really likes Jerry so he's forced to live by himself as the grounds keeper of Hogwarts. Even though he is the butt of everyone's joke, he is still everyone's best friend.


I myself am a Ravenclaw. How about you?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
