In 1997, J.K. Rowling, the author of the award-winning book series "Harry Potter," revolutionized the genre of fantasy and young adult fiction worldwide with her publication of the British Book Awards Children’s Book of the Year from 1997, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Since this publication, Rowling, alongside us Potterheads, have spent many hours investing our lives to the magical world that is "Harry Potter." Taking online quiz after online quiz to determine what our wand would be made of, what pet we would take with us to school, and which Hogwarts House we would best fit into. While we haven't always liked our answers, us diehards have remained loyal to the Potterverse and all it has taught us throughout the years.
With almost 20 years between today and the Harry Potter film's original release date in November of 2001, the majority of its fan base is now in their early to late twenties meaning the age of "Harry Potter" drinking games is upon us! While we may have never received our Hogwarts letters we can still have some good, magical fun watching or reading Harry Potter with friends! But what could be more fun than drinking Butterbeer while watching "Harry Potter"? Drinking Butterbeer and talking about it with your friends!
In this instance, after a long night of mixing up some rather strong potions inspired by Buzzfeed's "20 Alcoholic Beverages Inspired By The Harry Potter Series", I interviewed a couple of diehard "Harry Potter" fans about their feelings towards the different Hogwarts Houses and the answers were hilarious! Take a look!
Warning! Some of the following dialogue may offend some members of the following Hogwarts Houses - Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin! Know that none of these descriptions are accurate nor meant to offend but instead have been dramatized for your entertainment! Enjoy!
The Hogwarts Houses: As Described By A Drunk Harry Potter Fan
Gryffindor:
"Gryffindor is, like, the top of the Hogwarts food chain. Harry's there, Hermione's there, Ron's there, I mean, every one of the protagonists is a Gryffindor. Gryffindor is obviously Dumbledore's favorite, too. You never once hear Dumbledore doubt the loyalty of a Gryffindor. Which is kind of really unfair to the other houses because Dumbledore puts Gryffindor on such a pedestal compared to the other houses. Like, honestly, what makes them so much better than any other house, huh? We should totally just stab Gryffindor!"
Ravenclaw:
"Ravenclaw is obviously the most interesting house because no one ever knows what the heck is going on in a Ravenclaw's head. They are cunning little s**** and I bet they get away with a lot of crap that we don't even hear about. They're so smart and witty but I bet they don't always use their intelligence for good. Plus, wit just sounds like a polite way of saying they are sassy little b*******."
Hufflepuff:
"Obviously, Hufflepuff's are idiots but they're cute little idiots that just don't know any better, y'know? You, like, want to pat them on their dumb little heads every time they talk. You could never hate a Hufflepuff but you could easily be annoyed by one. At the end of the day, though, a Hufflepuff will always be by your side. They're like dogs."
Slytherin:
"Slytherin is just a club of a*******, I swear. There is nothing more to it. They're jerks and no one likes a snake.
