The music that makes life magical...

Stereotypical Music Playlists for the Hogwarts Houses

Today, I was sitting on my couch contemplating things to write about. Do I want to do something hard hitting? Something political? Something emotional? Do I want to do something silly? Something fun? Something relatable? I was stuck, to say the least and when I’m stuck, I turn to music. So I was sitting there jamming to my Spotify playlist and I began to look out my window, which was open. The breeze that was coming inside of the room and a bit chilly and crisp and I got super excited because that means AUTUMN. Autumn is my favorite season of the year. As I sat there listening to music, I thought about autumn and all of the things that came along with it. Pumpkin desserts. Knit sweaters. Scented Candles. Halloween. And most importantly, Harry Potter. Watching Harry Potter during autumn or winter is always more fun because it fits the tone of the films more. And that’s when it hit me! Why don’t I combine music and Harry Potter for my article? So here it is, kiddos! Scroll down through the four houses and see the personalized playlists I have made just for you (and if you haven’t taken the Pottermore Sorting Hat quiz yet, what are you doing?)

Gryffindor

Founded by Godric Gryffindor, this house holds many of the greatest wizards known to Hogwarts such as Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Harry Potter himself, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. The Gryffindor house emphasizes the traits of courage, chivalry, and bravery. All of the songs in this playlist revolve around strength just as this house does.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
