“Some people will take the time to actually comment about how displeased they are to be in Hufflepuff after the Sorting Hat put them there on Pottermore. They should really be taking their complaints to J.K. Rowling, the person who created the quiz. That’s right, SHE’s the one all these people should be displeased with, but I’m not displeased, because I know the test doesn’t just throw people into whatever house on Pottermore.

Despite the wide range of questions the test could ask, they all serve a purpose, and their purpose isn’t random or meaningless, and in no way contribute to anyone’s displeasure of getting into a house they didn’t desire.

In fact, if one answers each question based on certain house traits, the test picks up on those traits and matches them with the house they belong to. I’ve tested this myself with all four houses (though my allegiance lies with Hufflepuff and I’ve not participated in gaining points in the other three houses), and with my knowledge of house traits, I have been able to get into each house successfully by answering the questions based on the traits of the house I was trying to get into.

In conclusion, I feel that I’ve proven to myself, if anyone at all, that the test doesn’t dump anyone into a random house, but in fact places someone into the house their traits are most compatible to. The people complaining about not getting the house they wanted obviously don’t have a good knowledge of their favored house’s traits, or else they would’ve, like me (and I’m just a simple, little Hufflepuff), have gotten into the house they wanted EASILY. Period. That’s all there is to it.

However, I do know some people who’ve tried to be sorted over again, taking both tests honestly, yet get sorted into two different houses. These people, I believe, share traits that are compatible to the two houses chosen for them, much like Harry Potter was compatible with both Gryffindor AND Slytherin. He had traits from both, yet what was the difference? He had the chance to choose, and that’s something we don’t have on Pottermore. However, I still see nothing wrong with leaving baggage at the door and trying to give an unexpected house a chance. Those complainers are just making it harder on themselves and everyone else. Party poopers.

As well, it only makes it seem like those people are perhaps subconsciously displeased with their own traits if they get ‘sorted wrongly.’ Yeah… sounds like a personal problem. ;)” —Anonymous

“I never really gave thought to being sorted into Hufflepuff but I’m glad that I was. I’m just confused because a lot of my potter friends don’t really like Hufflepuff and make fun of me for it. How do I get them to credit Hufflepuff for being who I am, they only care that I was one question away from being a Slytherin?” —hufflepuffweasley

Not all Slytherins are going to stand by Puffs, my friend. Just do what you do—be loyal and be the best that you are, and eventually they may come around when they see how awesome Puffs can be! :)

“Hufflepuffs will huff, and puff, and blow the other houses away <3”

Hufflepuff sees your soul… *___*

“There’s a guy that I like who told me he’s a Gryffindor. As well as we get along and as much as we remind me of Hannah Abbot and Neville Longbottom, I just can’t help but feel in my heart of hearts that I’m supposed to date a Slytherin.”

I digress, but I’m biased. :D

“Slytherins love Hufflepuffs. Only a Hufflepuff could be patient enough to tolerate our antics unconditionally and still love us. You’ll never know how much we snakes truly appreciate you badgers. You don’t get enough credit for what you do.” —a-study-in-slytherin

We love you, too, Slyther friend. ^ ^ ♥

It’d be nice to have friends in the same house as you, but even if it doesn’t happen, it’s just a chance to appreciate another house other than your own because you have a friend in that house. :)
