Meanwhile, I maintain that Princess Celestia is what you get when a Lawful Good individual with the virtues of all four houses(1) takes the Slitherin approach to life.
(1) Hufflepuff: Does mountains of paperwork.
Griffindor: Smirks at Tirek when he tries to steal the magic she no longer has, then tells him he will not prevail as he is tossing her into super-max prison/hell. Her clash with Chrysalis pales in comparison given she expected to win that one.
Slitherin: Trickster mentor who countered a spell by her most powerful foe (up to that time) by mailing a bunch of letters. Leader of a nation who got very stressed out when socially isolated due to “working the night shift” when her Mark was swapped with her sister.
Ravenclaw: This is the most arguable, but the fact she took Twilight as her student and years later Twilight idea of “the best night ever” was talking with her about magic seems to indicate this. She also wielded the Element of Magic against Discord (could be argued to be more a matter of raw power than skill?), and exposits on history when that is needed (then again, she was personally involved in most of the things she talks about).

Those basically are amphetamines if I am not mistaken… which I could be, despite having taken them for about a decade, back when they weren’t QUITE so hard to prescribe.

“his ambition is to be an Evil Overlord, including memorizing the Evil Overlord List”
You sure you ain’t describing me? P:
But seriously, I would feel right at home in Slytherin. Bloody nice…
@DanielTepesKraus
Yeah, sucks really that Canada is overshadowed to entirely. So much so that we’re basically the brunt of jokes when it comes down to things like this… :/
Huh…would you look at that Rainbow, looks like I’m Slytherin…I honestly don’t really know much about the Harry Potter universe, I only watched the first 3 films.
I honestly don’t really know the significance…more ready access to black magic, I guess?
Slytherins are ambitious and/or cunning (the “or” is included because Draco, the most-seen Slytherin obviously has very little cunning but insane amounts of ambition). My best-of-best friends is a Slytherin (his ambition is to be an Evil Overlord, including memorizing the Evil Overlord List) and he can easily figure out and perform complicated plots.
To put the Houses in a different perspective: Gryffindors are the movers and shakers, they constantly move forward, sometimes without thinking. On the opposite side of the spectrum we have Ravenclaw, who are scholars and scientists that can think and think and think without doing anything, though their knowledge can be unparalleled.
Hufflepuffs do their work, knowing well that everything they do is important to something, laying a foundation for others; however, most Hufflepuffs have little in the way of ambition, usually perfectly content to be where they are. Their opposed House, Slytherin prefer to make others do the work, but are talented at the long-term, often seeing several times further than their peers.
And since I tend to think in these , if we assign the Houses of Hogwarts Magic: the Gathering colours, Gryffindor is White/Red, Ravenclaw is White/Blue, Hufflepuff is Green/White, and Slytherin is Blue/Black. It’s the fact that Slytherin is the only house with Black that makes the other Houses so distrust it.
@Rpground
ittedly I am somewhat bias (born in Québec but now live in the US), but Canada gets a seriously raw deal in the media. Especially whenever wars are concerned and particularly WWII.
It’s real sad that most WWII movies don’t even mention Canada, and the ones that do (Like chendaele) are so rare that the mere fact they feature Canada is a selling point.

As a Canadian, I love this comment because of just how true it is…
@Bardic_Knowledge
As loopy as the other three houses are, I’m convinced that the Hufflepuffs are the only thing keeping England’s wizarding world from falling apart at the seams. When a Gryffindor gets drunk and picks a fight with a dragon, or a Ravenclaw goes mixing volatile potions FOR SCIENCE!, or a Slytherin decides that Mein Kampf makes a fine instruction manual, someone has to clean that shit up.

Yeah, I’m not proud of that…
Hufflepuffs? The ministry is obviously run by Lucius Malfoy and his ‘imperiused’ friends
Considering how most of the Ministry is run by Hufflepuffs I’m not surprised.
It’s not all THAT bad. Spoiler alert; Newt Scamander was a Hufflepuff.
Edited
Ravenclaws take copious quantities of Ritalin and Adderall.

@WatermelonRat said “cocaine”.
So what does that make Slytherins?
Does that make Hufflepuff, dare I say it, …….HIPPIES? O.O
So are Gryffindors heavy drinkers (“liquid courage”) and Ravenclaws methamphetamine s?
Headcanon….considered.
I was wondering about her floating head xD
and hahahaha yay Derpy :3

Don’t worry, Dashie, you’ll learn it’s not as bad as you think, and even befriend Derpy.
Tonks was a Hufflepuff. That, in itself, is enough to make them awesome in my book.
@DanielTepesKraus
Seems about right.
