Part of me would love to have seen Neville in Gryffindor, Harry in Slytherin, Ron in Hufflepuff and Hermione in Ravenclaw, the four houses standing up to Voldemort.

Harry first line about Snape: Who’s that? Harry’s last line about Snape: The bravest man I’ve ever met.

Bravery is when u r scared of something but u still face it... Even though Ron was terrified of spiders, he still went with Harry and faced Aragog.

Snape could have fit in any of the 4 houses. He is smart, inventing numerous spells. He was also a hard worker, learning everything he could during his education, and he was loyal to Lily. Of course, he was brave, being a double agent. And he was sorted into Slytherin, so he fits them all.

I have a few theories on why Hermione wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw. 1) it's not always about the traits you have, but the traits you value when being sorted. 2) She doesn't seem to think she's as smart as everyone thinks she is. She is always freaking out about failing. 3) She has just as many if not more Griffindor traits. 4) Despite having a good mind, she doesn't really have the spirit of a Ravenclaw. Like Luna's father said in Deathly Hallows. (Hermione is) "Not unintelligent, but painfully limited, narrow, closed-minded." For her if it's written in a book it's written in stone, otherwise it's not true. Personally, I think the reason she was so bitter of the Half-blood princes book was because she was jealous. This was someone who could not only learn from the books, but build on it. Someone who would experiment, innovate, try something new and original: something we've never seen her even attempt.

"He was as brave as a gryffindor" "He was as loyal as a hufflepuff" "He was as wise as a ravenclaw" "He was as cunning as a slytherin" R.I.P Severus snape R.I.P Alan Rickman Both were legends that will never be forgotten...

Here’s a fact: The actor who played Albus Severus Potter, Harry’s son, at the end of Deathly Hallows Part 2 was also Baby Harry at the beginning of Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone

If Cedric didn’t die it would be great to see his bravery in the grand battle

I think the main reason why so many people seem to be put in the wrong house is because people are put into the house that has the traits that they _value,_ not necessarily the ones that they possess. The moment Hermione says that she is nothing but books and cleverness and that there are more important things, you know that she is not a Ravenclaw. Of the ones listed, I honestly think that Percy is the one who was most definitely sorted into the wrong house. If he wasn't a Weasley, he would have been a Slytherin.

I've always had the head cannon that the Weasley family are the heirs of Godric Gryffindor and that's why the family has always sorted in that house

Something I've noticed in my most recent reading of Harry Potter is how the houses, more than line with personality, lines with personal growth. Ron was afraid of many things, but as a Gryffindor, he found strength to fight no matter his fears and became truly great, finding his purpose and bravery. Hermione is truly smart and loves to learn, yet she is headstrong and close-minded, borderline rude and she was able to develop her emotional, social and mental skills, becoming her best self, ignoring the most wise decisions and becoming a fighter to her core. Not sure Ravenclaw would help her blossom as well as she did in Gryffindor... I love this discussions, it just shows how deep Harry Potter is!!!! I love this series 😍 And your videos are awesome 👌🏻 💙

Sirius could also fit in Hufflepuff, mainly for his loyalty to his friends, especially to James. Someone theorized that the animal you turn into when becoming an animagus is not really a choice, but a reflection of what you are, and Sirius being a dog animagus indeed reflects his loyalty.

i think fred and george could also be sorted into a different house.probably slytherin or ravenclaw,or maybe one of them in ravenclaw and one of them in slytherin,it'd be really chaotic and cool.they're actually intelligent and hard-working for coming up with all those products and really ambitious for not giving up on their dream even when molly threw all of their stuff into rubbish,they never gave up on the idea of the joke shop and they actually succeeded.

Cedric is very brave, but I think his Hufflepuff traits such as his fair play are also key parts of his character. I've read that the sorting doesn't just base your house placement on your own qualities, but also the ones you value. Ultimately, I think that's why Cedric was put in Hufflepuff. We see in both book three and four that he values fair play, a major Hufflepuff trait.

What I’m wondering is why they don’t offer students the chance to re-sort. Third year of Hogwarts they get to start taking elective classes and go to hogsmade on the weekends. What if during the third year, they could choose to re-sort and the sorting hat can decide if they’re “grown out” their house in a way? Even Dumbledore has said, “You know sometimes I think we sort too soon.”

There is this great theory that the Sorting Hat doesn't put you in the house that fits your existing traits most, but in the house that you need the most for your development.

Dumbledore is a Slytherin. He is full of control, sly and cunning. Harry and Ron I still find they fit Gryffindor as they sometimes do things with lots braveness less brain🤣

I believe that Peter was only in Gryffindor because he wanted to hide behind the only people who could protect him(James, Remus and Sirius)

I think Harry belongs to all the houses because he has all the qualities of each house: Brave, Leadership, Curiosity, Loyalty.

I reckon Ron probably asked to be in Gryffindor, since his whole family went in Gryffindor and it is considered (rather falsely) to be the best house

Tbh Hermione should’ve been in all of the houses, she was brave and daring, cunning and ambitious, loyal and kind and very very smart

Maybe a younger pettigrew showed some early signs of bravery or some other trait. Of course as he grew older he obviously didn’t reach his potential. Although in the books he did save Harry which would cost him his life

Honestly I would love to see a fanfiction where Snape was a Gryffindor and Harry was a Slytherin and see how that would have played out.

8:19 absolutely agree with you there, I've always thought Dumbledore with his cunningness and manipulative skills could have been sorted into Slytherin. Seeing Fantastic beast's Qilin bowing down to him because his heart is the purest made no sense to me.

It's funny because the 3 main characters all kinda seem to represent 3 different houses, none of which are Gryffindor

your videos never get old, i always catch myself watching back videos, keep it up 🧙🏼‍♂️🪄💕

Great, interesting topic for a video. Pretty much agree with every alternate house option. I also liked the video style you did for the ad. That was really well done

Ron is not loyal enough to be a Puff

My theory on the sorting hat is that it doesn’t necessarily sort students based on the traits you possess, but also considers the ones they value or aspire to. Like if it needs a deciding factor, it takes the students desires into account. That’s how you get cowards who wish they were brave (Pettigrew) in Gryffindor, and fools who wish they were smarter (Lockhart) in Ravenclaw. This would be especially prevalent in cases like Hermione, who despite being smart enough to be in Ravenclaw, but aspires to be courageous, ends up in Gryffindor.

It would of been interesting to see this story played out with harry having a friend or mentor from every house. That way the houses all get more a bit more respect instead of most people, not all, instantly rooting for Gryffindor.

Snape with his dedication to knowledge and skills could have done well in Ravenclaw too.

Severus Snape would have also been a good fit for Ravenclaw. He prized intelligence and learning above anything else, he was creative, and he certainly had wit. Also I think he had Gryffindor traits even as a child, he had nerve and was bold shown when he confronted Lily about being a witch, he was brave in the fact that he didn’t fear being different and stood up for himself when he was being insulted and fought to get to his wand even as James and Sirius were magically restraining him, and even waited outside the enemy camp to try to apologize to a girl he insulted.

Every time I see a notification for your Harry Potter videos I get reminded that I need to do my yearly series rewatch. Probably gonna wait until winter for the feel but every time I finish it’s a depressing feeling where I wish I could be in that world instead of this one as a college student lol

Morgan’s content is so in depth and is always great!!!

Good to hear the music still going strong! Great video as always buddy!

My week was a bit shitty but my favourite KZfaqr posted and it’s better! Thanks Morgan for always brighting up my day💜

For Harry potter. He has a few traits of slytherin. He's a great leader, with running the DA as the professor and leading his friends. He shows ambition. As he focus an taking down voldermort for everyone's safety even breaking up with Ginny. He's incredibly resourceful as he able to get out of tricky situations like in the chamber of secrets, the triwizard tournament and others like in the deathly hallows. He's also cunning as he succeeded all of the difficulty in his way. 🐍

I agree with the list, and here are my honorable mentions: *NEVILLE* would obviously make a good Hufflepuff, *LILY* would have been a solid Ravenclaw, *LUNA* would also fit into Gryffindor, *CORMAC MCLAGGEN* gives strong Slytherin vibes, and finally *REGULUS* (underrated character!) turned out to be more of a Gryffindor than Slytherin!

your thumbnails are amazing. they catch my eye immediately.

love ur content morgan! i really enjoyed the re write of cursed child (really should be cursed book). my younger sister recently got the script and i explained why she shouldn’t have, i told her to watch you videos about it!

Despite being a Ravenclaw, I always felt that Hufflepuff would have been a more suitable house for Luna. She is known for having a very kind and non-judgemental personality. She's also always full of positivity and does her upmost to cheer people up like a good friend should. She's also very loyal to the people she cares about and has a strong moral compass. That was why she joined the DA and fought with the Wizarding community against Voldemort because it was the right thing to do and because her friends needed her. At the very least she ended up marrying a Hufflepuff in Rolf Scamander (Newt's grandson). Interestingly enough Neville who could have also being sorted into joined Hufflepuff married Hannah Abbot who was from that house.

for me i think bravery is to do something in spite of fear. so for me, Ron was way more brave in regards to the spiders than Harry was.

Hi MovieFlame I love watching your Harry Potter videos they are so interesting. I have a video idea/request could you do some more in depth videos on background characters For example the Patils, finch fletcher and even more and maybe how muggles reacted to the Wizarding world if they ever saw it thank you for making our days better

This is amazing! Thank you so much for teaching me all my Harry Potter stuff! Now I can brag to my friends lol

For me I disagree with Snape. For me I would sort him into Ravenclaw not Gryffindor or Slytherin

Why is every video of movieflame so good?

In truth, what Slytherin values above all else is Bloodline; Magic blood purists. So yeah, those with strong magical bloodlines would be heavily welcome within Slytherin, and the one major that thing that Slytherin despises is Half-Bloods (or the derogatory term "Mud Blood") and if you recall, Snape proudly referred to himself as "The Half-Blood Prince", something even Voldemort wouldn't forgive. Basically, when you think about it, Snape was dead either way. But others mentioned: The Weasely dude (I keep forgetting his name), while he would've fit better in Slytherin, he wouldn't have been well accepted as most look down on the Weasely Family for being too poor in practically everything. Harry Potter would've been loved & accepted in pretty much any House given his celebrity status, but yeah I'd say he fits better in Slytherin. Hermoine I honestly can't understand how she isn't Ravenclaw since most from that House are super intelligent and heavy book readers. Same for Ron, he's shown to display more cowardice than bravery in most of the films, but has shown to be incredibly loyal to his friends & loved ones. Even his nerve leaves a lot to be desired. Peter especially, he displays loads more cowardice, exploits at every opportunity, if not Slytherin, he'd fit more closely in Hufflepuff given his undying loyalty to Voldemort. But Griffindor? You'd gotta be high to see that. Lockheart... Personally while he displays cunning, its mostly because he literally cheated his way to fame. As much as he'd fit Slytherin, I could see them hating him. If Houses could pick who they'd want, I think they'd skip him entirely. Snape is the only one I disagree with this video. I'd say he's more Ravenclaw than Griffindor or Slytherin. And my reason? His wealth of knowledge, his logical attitude, and that he doesn't seem to care all that much about displaying his bravery or concerned with self-preservation. He's definitely cunning. But I doubt bravery has much to do with undermining Voldemort whom he no doubt wanted to kill many times (Voldemort did after all kill the one light in his life, Lily whom he loved deeply, and were I him, I doubt I'd be able to pretend to be his right hand for so long). I do have some other takes: James & Lily Potter, I think they were sorted into the wrong houses as well. James imo should've been in Slytherin given his frequent bullying of Snape and generally treating others as beneath him. I agree with Snape in that regard, how the bloody hell did she fall for such a prick. Lily would've fit better in Hufflepuff as she still tried to stick with Snape and was still kind to him regardless. If Snape hadn't taken his anger out on her, I imagine it would've been Snape & Lily married instead of what we got.

Great Video and yeah I can see how these characters could be sorted differently, but I think the hat takes into account how they are at the time of the sorting when they are young and still trying to figure out who and what they wanna be. It can only see what is there at the time and now what could or will be there in the future, also like with Harry it does take their choices into account. For example Ron and Percy both knew their whole families had always been Gryffandor's and would have wanted to be in the house just out of a sort of family tradition.

Hey MovieFlame you know i really wish you made video about the harry potter is the future of narnia i personally dont believe it but its a really cool theory so here's a suggestion😁 oh and congratiolations on the lord!

Watching this I think it would be really amusing if the main trio actually comes from different houses. Gryffindor/Slytherin + Hufflepuff + Ravenclaw. I feel that could have been really fun to see. Though it could make story progression kinda difficult.

Great video! The sorting ceremony always takes place on the 1st of September! Happy back to Hogwarts day! 🚂 🦉 🪄

I agree on all points, great work as always 👍

I Would Like To See Something Like This Getting Made Like Imagine If Hermione Was In Ravenclaw Hope Someone Try’s To Make That

Morgan is such a great creator

9:54 Lmao the way she just slammed that big ass book onto Dan's hand 💀

I think all potter heads really know why hermione wasn’t Ravenclaw. Ravenclaws crave knowledge intellect and challenges. Hermione was extremely smart but she was easily discouraged and turned off when she was challenged with something she couldn’t quite figure out. That’s the main reason she doesn’t quite fit Ravenclaw.

I think that all this video proves is that people have many layers. And the sorting system was never meant to be perfect, but rather to allow overlap amongst the houses and get close to getting like-minded young wizards together.

I think that the Sorting Hat also takes into account where other students have been placed and how each person would likely do in each house. That might explain why some characters are given the houses that they want (like Harry), and others seem to have been placed to please their family or where they’re likely to make the most friends.

Love your videos! 🥰

wow!!! this is soooo accurate!!! enjoyed this video immensely!

I mean I think Ron is brave becuz I would have left my friend in the forest with those spiders

I think Luna Lovegood could’ve been a Gryffindor, she’s smart and curious yes, but she’s also brave and courageous and chivalrous. She shows all of those when she goes with Harry to the Department of Mysteries, and she’s brave enough to be herself, even though others tease her

I’m a Slytherin, but it honestly makes me mad how forgotten Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are. It’s like, Cedric has one book where he is like, hardly a main character and then before you know it, he’s dead! It’s really unfair.

Love the vid good descions Lord Morgan 👍🏻😊

Y'know I can't help but think the Sorting hat plays some kind of important role in setting up certain possibilities by putting them in certain houses like if Snape was sorted into Gryffindor he most likely wouldn't have been able to get so close to voldemort and then events would have played out very differently etc etc.

4:13 what if the hat sensed voldemorts horcrux. The part of voldemort that lives in him

To be honest I was happy Harry, Ron and Hermione in Gryffindor. I love when they all hung out I love there friendship. There friendship did crumble a few times Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail belongs in Slytherin for reasons. 1 He stabbed his friends in the back 2 Killed 12 muggles 3 Had one of his friends sent to Azkaban 4 Hid behind stronger people 5 He was also a huge coward

I read something somewhere that said the only brave act Peter Pettigrew showed was that he hesitated to kill Harry when Harry told him he owed him. Peter hesitating was in direct defiance of Voldemort and he knew it would cost him to do so. I still agree though. He should be in Slytherin. The main reason he was in Gryffindor is probably because he asked the hat to be placed with his new friends from the train, and the hat took his choice into account.

I remember reading somewhere that the Sorting Hat put you where you had the most potential. Or at least tried too when you weren't asking to be put somewhere specific lol. Peter Pettigrew had the potential to be brave but he chose not to. Gilderoy Lockhart had the potential to be extremely intelligent but was lazy and entitled, just expecting people to already know who he was because his mother spoiled him. It's really quite fun to think about various characters and why they were put in the house they were.

*A realization moment* The Brave people are the likes of Ron and Neville, the one who is able to get over thier fears and I didn't get the impression that Harry was like them, he's definitely bold and fearless but his behavior and his way of taking risks and not caring make me think that the source of his audacity is that He doesn't care whether he lives or dies He lived for 10 years hearing that he is worthless , so no wonder his character is indifferent to the amount of terror and danger in front of him *this is really sad because this a trait he has in common with Sirius*

percy guy took the " duty first , family next " saying to the next level lol

Love the video!!!😍

I feel like Dumbledore could have also been in Ravenclaw, too. He is very smart and was able to figure out Voldy's horcruxes when no one else (well, besides Slughorn) could have even GUESSED that. 😉 (Also, kinda funny that this video got posted on September 1st; did you plan that, Morgan?! Haha! 😅 Happy #BackToHogwartsDay2022, everyone!! 😃👓⚡)

All Hail Lord Morgan MovieFlame. I humbly bow before u. HarryPotterFolkore's got 5 vids on What If the Golden Trio (Harry, Ron, and Hermione) were in their different houses separately, and 1 together, and another of a longer one on Harry. Cedric was brave enough for Gryffindor, but I just can't c him in anything other then Hufflepuff as he showed fairness in both the books and movie more. Anyone can b brave when they find it within and bring it out.

Could these be fun ideas?: 1: "What if Gryffindor didn't exist?": Sort all students from Gryffindor into Slytherin, Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. For example: Peter Pettigrew: Slytherin Rubeus Hagrid: Hufflepuff Hermione Granger: Ravenclaw 2: "What if Hufflepuff didn't exist?": Sort all students from Hufflepuff into Ravenclaw, Gryffindor or Slytherin. For example: Cedric Diggory: Gryffindor 3: "What if Ravenclaw didn't exist?": Sort All Students from Ravenclaw into Hufflepuff, Slytherin or Gryffindor. For example: Gilderoy Lockhart: Slytherin Barty Crouch Jr.: Slytherin Quirinus Quirrell: Slytherin 4: "What if Slytherin didn't exist?": Sort all students from Slytherin into Gryffindor, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. For example: Severus Snape: Gryffindor Bellatrix Lestrange: Hufflepuff (Becouse She's loyal to the Dark Lord until the very end.)

I think the point of the trio as that they could/should have been in different houses. Hermione in ravenclaw because of intelligence, Ron in hufflepuff because of loyalty, Harry in slytherin because of cunning/the horcrux. The point was they wanted to be in gryffindor because they associated with bravery or they showed the bravery trait to the sorting hat

Bravery is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to overcome fear. And Ron easily shows these traits easily. I personally think that Hermione is truly a Gryffindor because one: Hermione is truly brave and values bravery more than she does smarts since smarts are just one of her traits and not her whole person and two: I think personally that a Ravenclaw is a house where you have to think outside the box to be in.

I feel like that Tonks would fit into Gryffindor nicely as she was very brave, as she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and died as she wanted to help fight too. She was chivalrous as she wanted to help Molly and protect Harry. And also, she was an auror and you have to be quite brave for that. She is very loyal and hardworking. That's probably why she is in Hufflepuff. By the way, what Hogwarts house are you in Movieflame?

Dumbledore was such a brilliant wizard and a wise man I feel like he would have been a spectacular Ravenclaw.

I like how he calls them a clan and not a family 🤣

I feel like hufflepuff’s are well known as being brave in their own way. They always fight for what’s right and for the people they care about. That is bravery. I don’t think bravery can only be attributed to gryffindor

Another one could be Andromeda Tonks. She could have been a Gryffindor as she stood up to her family and their pureblood beliefs, and married a muggleborn. Plus you could argue this shows basically all the other traits griffindors have.

You do so well my lord Morgan

Here let me resort you; I believe you’re a Slytherin…but I think you’d be more fit for Ravenclaw. Your knowledge for the series is amazing. I also love how much new info you get with every new video you put out, regardless which topic it’s about, even outside of Harry Potter. I always learn something new from watching your videos and everything in them, even when you just straight up roasted the cursed child because I myself hate it. Another wonderful video!

Thanks! Interesting as always ☺️ However, I must come with an objection; Ron going into the Forbidden Forest with Harry, in spite of his arachnophobia is incredibly courageous! You are not brave if it's more or less effortless. It's when you put one feet in front of the other although your heart is pumping like the bass in a house track, that's courage.

What could have been more clearly explained in the series, but is made pretty clear there, is that what one *values* weighs heavily into house selection, sometimes as much or even more than one’s apparent traits. Hermione, for example, values bravery even more highly than intelligence (and she tells us as much.) Neville admires bravery above all else as well. Both Hermione and Neville aspire to be brave, and become brave. Being in Gryffindor works out for them in this sense. Slughorn’s Slytherin traits are milder than many, but he *highly* values ambition in others. I suppose the dark side of this is Wormtail, who valued bravery entirely because of his own lack of it, because he felt like he needed strong, brave people around to protect him. This meant that Peter was naturally inclined to want to be among people like Gryffindors, and thus that’s where the hat put him. This character trait ultimately overshadows everything else in Peter’s personality, and for better or for worse, his experiences as a Gryffindor help his personal development as well. He learns to lessen his cowardice, and cope with it (in pretty horrible ways) by living among the brave. It was basically the best house, for him, that he could have been sorted into.

I like these types of videos. Please do more "top 10" videos.

This is the first video I’ve ever watched with you in it

I think for Newt, if it wasn't Hufflepuff, he would be in Ravenclaw. Because he's showed he's very smart, curious, learns a lot throughout the three Fantastic Beast films and his wisdom helps even the likes of Dumbledore.

I think Luna Lovegood from the books she really does love her friends that she made in the DA meetings and that is one of the reasons why she was there for Harry he went to the Department of Mystery she was very loyal and brave

Ron was very much the hufflepuff of the trio, hermione the ravenclaw and Harry the slytherin. But they were all gryffindor. It just works.

Ron also has a bit of Ravenclaw in him, he is very witty and smart in chess strategies

I get why Rowling put all 3 of our main trio in Gryifyndor as she wanted to keep them pretty close, especially seeing how at the end of the Sorcerers Stone that they're deeds along with Nevile's is what won them the House Cup, but I honestly think she relinqushed a golden opportunity to add more drama and delima if she had all 3 of them in different houses. I would have had Harry still in Gryfindor, Ron in Hufflepuff, and Hermione in Ravenclaw.

I feel like tonks could have been a gryffindor, since she is really brave and gave up her life with her newborn just to defeat voldemort.

You should do part 2 of this series 👍👍👍👍

Ron being changed to MY house, Hufflepuff, is him? I feel violated.

I think the reason why Hermione was put into Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw, is because most of her knowledge comes from books, Meanwhile a lot of the time Ravenclaws use information around them, and Wisdom from experience etc 😊 In short, Her knowledge relies on books, and Ravenclaws have a much wider range of knowledge bc they don't have to rely on just books.

NEXT VIDEO CAN U DO WHAT I WOULD DO IF U WERE WRITING T HARRY POTTER SEQUEL SO WHAT U WOULD DO INSTEAD OF THE CURSED CHILD

I can see why Pettigrew was in Gryffindor. Pettigrew was a mirror of Snape. 1 example is that Snape told lies to Voldemort's face and Pettigrew told lies to Dumbledore's face.

A lot of characters have traits of other houses. But if I am not mistaken it also takes in consideration what they value more. They might have more traits from Slytherin, but value their traits of Gryffindor. Its never black and white. Just cause they check more boxes in 1 house doesn’t mean they belong there if they value their other traits more I believe. Love the vid. It is fun to speculate what could have been :)
