Why Hermione Wasn't in RAVENCLAW - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing Hermione, the sorting hat, and the hogwarts housing system. More specifically, we will be answering the question: Why wasn’t Hermione in Ravenclaw?
As we know, there are four hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has defining characteristics, and at the beginning of a students journey at Hogwarts, they are assigned to one of these four houses based on how well the students own character traits mesh with the principles of the house. The assign-ee of the Hogwarts houses is the fabled Sorting hat- a filthy, old, frayed, dirty hat that once belonged to Hogwarts founder Godric Gryffindor. The hat is extremely outspoken, and is praised by professors and students alike for its uncanny ability to assign houses to hogwarts students.
The founders of Hogwarts recognized that they each valued very different virtues, virtues which ended up leading to the defining attributes of each house. It was important to them that the houses they founded would continue to follow by the beliefs from which they were based.
But one thing that I have always wondered is: if Intelligence is the defining characteristic of Ravenclaw, then why wasn’t our very own Hermione Granger in Ravenclaw house? In the years that she spent at Hogwarts, she was widely considered to be ‘the brightest witch of her age’. Time and time again, she displayed lateral thinking, quickly adjusting to her circumstance or environment and overcoming all sorts of obstacles. Not only that, but she has an inquisitive and practical mind which allows her to constantly challenge the status-quo, frequently introducing new approaches to conventional methods of spell conjuring or potion making. She just exudes intelligence on so many levels, so again, why Ravenclaw?

Even though Hermione is very clever, she is too close minded and judgemental to be in Ravenclaw. She judged Luna and Fleur before knowing them and she judged Divination before seeing if she would be interested in learning about it. She was also too headstrong with SPEW, and even though it was for a good cause, she didn't (and sometimes outright refused) to care about what anybody else thought about it and was sometimes rude to anyone who didn't 100% support her protest. A true Ravenclaw is willing to try new things and be open to different opinions and view points without harboring judgement at the start. They seek knowledge before all else so of course they couldn't be forming an opinion about something (or someone) before trying it out first. She's brave, a bit of a showoff, and is willing to disobey rules if it helps herself and her friends and family, and is willing to die for the greater good - like a Gryffindor. I think the sorting hat sorted her correctly.

The students in Ravenclaw don't actually treat Luna any better than Hermione and in most cases they act quite a bit worse. She didn't judge divination unfairly either and her opinion was based on Mcgonagall's opinion of it and I don't know what you mean about Fleur on the point of SPEW I agree with it.

@Terriblegam2r 4 жыл бұрын

joseph Buckley can you provide examples of Ravenclaws being the house that’s specifically worse to Luna then any other house? Because I’m not remembering anything of the sort. And yes there are assholes in every house and every house can show attributes from other houses. Some Gryffindors can be cowards, some Hufflepuffs can be lazy, etc. Um yes she did judge Divination unfairly. You said it yourself she already formed any opinion even before she stepped into the room on the first day of term. She intended on hating it even before giving it a try. And yes she did judge Fleur by how mean she was to her in book 5 (she had preconceived opinions about her, and about Luna and Divination. Again, not a Ravenclaw trait). This isn’t a rant against Hermione. She’s my second favorite character from the series. I actually appreciate how flawed she is and that she’s not a Mary Sue. I’m only explaining how her /overall/ personality and actions are not traits Ravenclaws put in high esteem and Hermione said so herself that she thinks the traits from Gryffindor are more important to have. She acts way more like a Gryffindor and she also chose that house to be in.

Remember what Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge”, hence why Hermione wasn’t in Ravenclaw. She values knowledge more than imagination because she relies on books too much, and she always insisted on following the instructions, instead of having an open mind.

@lenanana8 Жыл бұрын

I agree. Hermione is quite arrogant as she strives to "know it all" - this stems from her close-mindedness. Her quick temper when others don't think the way she does (e.g. recruiting for SPEW, berating Harry and Ron for not caring about their studies, disrespecting Trelawney because of divination, etc) as well as her desire to prove herself worthy of having magic despite being a muggleborn, is also a result of her close-mindedness and leads to arrogance. In contrast, Lockhart, a Ravenclaw, was also arrogant and sought fame, but this was because he went beyond the rules of society (i.e. his open-mindedness). Like you've pointed out, I think that the open vs close minded view of the world is what differentiates a Ravenclaw, regardless of their intelligence level. With this in mind I don't quite get why Hermione almost had a hat stall when she was being sorted. The Sorting Hat would've seen that she's very close-minded, a trait that persists up till the final book, and that there was very little that could've been done to change that. Was the hat trying to decide if putting her in Ravenclaw would've helped her gain an open mind, or if her intelligence trumped her closed minded personality?

exactly, an engineer (or someone particularly smart in general) will most likely be well aware of the books knowledge, but will be able to easily adapt and rely on the "hit stuff with a hammer" method when that is ideal. something that someone reliant on books won't do, and will prefer to take the long way around, or not act at all. someone smart doesn't just know how to use tools, they also know when a tool is unnecessary and what corners to cut in order to save time and money. as I like to say "anybody can make something light, or something strong, but it takes an engineer, to make something light and strong."

@@Wanted797 Yeah that was one of the things that annoyed me. As someone who was (and still is) very nerdy and academically inclined as a child, I would enjoy reading as many books as possible and really enjoyed referring to books and the written knowledge for guidance. What disappoints me a lot about Hermione's character gives a lot of academically inclined habits like this a bad rap, which is terrible for young people! Throughout the series she is arrogant enough to believe her own knowledge stands above anything an older person or teacher could ever say that would contradict her. This character trait of hers makes her a fascinating character, but a terrible young woman role model.

@xyincognito Жыл бұрын

I think that is a too narrow take. She soaks in knowledge from books, but she is a quick thinker and the most important trait: she is able to take that knowledge and apply it (on the spot) in different situations and solve real life problems....which requires a big deal of imagination someone who only follows instructions cannot do that.

I think the biggest indicator of why Hermione was put in Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw is clearly depicted in the Half Blood Prince. When Harry offers Hermione a copy of the potions book with the Half Blood Prince's additions in it, Hermione turns her nose up at it and insists on doing things the "right" way. A true born Ravenclaw would not have such an attitude towards the additions in potions book; rather they would insist on reading through it and determining how the Prince managed to conjure up these superior methods and why they work. Also, because of Ravenclaw's desire for excellence, they probably wouldn't pass up the opportunity to access resources that would help them top the class.

Hermione wasn’t suitable for Ravenclaw Hear me out before you tear me down! Rawenclaws might be known for being smart, but they are also known for being creative and open to new possibilities and knowledge. Most Ravenclaws are open minded people because you can never know everything and even if what you say doesn’t sound very possible, they will still consider it even if it’s momentarily. Hermione is a righteous know it all usually bordering arrogance with her attitude and dismissive of most things she hears from others because the books she read says otherwise. She is pretty close minded and usually believes she knows best unless the other person has some sort of higher status knowledge wise like the teachers or Dumbledore. You can see this pretty clearly in her interactions with Luna Lovegood. In the end I think the sorting hat recognized this and placed her Gryffindor because of these qualities. Just being smart doesn’t make you a Ravenclaw.

@aidanjanemcintosh6919 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, and if you know the lore, if you wanted to enter the Ravenclaw Common Room, you have to answer riddles. Hermione would be good in solving problems like Snape's potion puzzle in the 1st book, but that was pure logic. If she was given the riddle (the one answered by Luna) about Phoenix and its flame (akin to chicken vs egg riddle), Hermione would go on about facts why the question is not valid that you can't scientifically decide which one's first, and she'd have a hard time entering the tower. So, rather than cleverness and logic, Ravenclaw preffered wit.

I think Hermione wasn’t sorted into Ravenclaw because, though she is very intelligent, she is also close-minded and quite judgemental, she was quite rude to Luna, without even properly getting to know her, she also scoffed at Fleur and treated her poorly even though Fleur is quite a genuine person, despite being a little conceited. She is also not open to new ideas, immediately arguing about the Deathly Hallows case, and refusing to believe it, when, truly, the Deathly Hallows were actually real. She also argued and ignored other people’s thoughts about S.P.E.W even though she had plain and obvious evidence and proof that house-elves enjoyed working and then even went to the length of potentially ridding Hogwarts of it’s cooks, cleaners, etc. Ravenclaws are creative, witty, intelligent and open-minded, Hermione is intelligent but that doesn’t make her a a Ravenclaw.

The Sorting Hat always considers the student's wish. In the first book Hermione clearly said she thought Gryffindor was the best house, and Ravenclaw second. Imagine the eleven year old Hermione being asked which house she wants to be in, she would have picked the best house to her knowledge. But Hermione is obviously brave. She is not the type of physical fighter like Harry but she's very daring in her decisions. Many times it was Hermione to come up with the crazy ideas. Also note that Harry was friend with Ron first, and Hermione kinda stuck around the boys. She encountered danger but she stayed, even enjoyed it. No one asked Hermione to join Harry's crazy lifestyle. She could've had a much easier life had she only focused on studying. But she was a true Gryffindor.

@MiniKitty27 4 жыл бұрын

Gryffindors have an energy around them that just screams they are ALWAYS ready for a fight. Fighting with the hat in this instance is a very Gryffindor thing to do. Other houses are also down for a fight but that comes with different circumstances than Gryffindor. Not to mention Gryffindors are incredibly stubborn in their ideas as well so Neville constantly saying to the hat (presumably) "no, place me in Hufflepuff" is just so Gryffindor. I'm pretty sure the only house that would ask the hat to place them somewhere specific is Gryffindor (Harry asked the hat to NOT place him in Slytherin and then fought him to stay out of Slytherin, thus immediately being placed in Gryffindor) and because Neville asked to be placed in Hufflepuff then then argued with the hat to be placed there that just completely solidified his standing as a Gryffindor. If the hat is having trouble deciding between two houses it COULD ask the student for it's preference but that is different then just outright asking for a specific house, or in Harry's case, being excluded from a specific house. I'm sorry I kind of rambled a lot but does this make any sense?

I tend to agree with the conclusions expressed in this video. Luna Lovegood is a good example. Luna didn’t outwardly express the traits of a Ravenclaw, but she turned out to have a deeply penetrating mind that looked past superficial things, opting to see things for the way they were. She wasn’t as hair brained as she presented herself. Even (edit) her blind spots (like believing in fantasy creatures that her father believed in) were never an impediment to her pragmatic understanding of the world.

I will go a different way. The hat often puts people in houses to help them encourage specific traits. Neville would have been a good fit for Hufflepuff, and everyone their would have loved and accepted him, but he would have never grown. If the hat had put Hermione in Ravenclaw she would have been a fine student, but never grown beyond her bookish boring character. Putting both Hermione and Neville in Gryffindor forced them to grow and do things they would never have done on their own.

In the book, Ron, with his broken leg, is the one who stepped in front of Harry to save him from Sirius Black. In the movie, they gave it to Hermione. I love Hermione, but they took too much away from Ron in the movies in order to build up Hermione even more, and in the process, they made Ron a bit of a joke figure rather than an equal part of the trio that he was in the book.

Well she had already displayed a lot of bravery. I mean... She always had balls. She petrified Neville when he stood up to them in their first year. It takes courage to fight a friend. She went searching for the Basilisk even though she was aware of how dangerous it was. She was the one who came with the idea of creating Dumbledore's Army, which was a ver risky idea. She was the one who came up with the even riskier plan to ambush Umbridge, which could have gone very wrong. I mean, she was always willing to take risks if they were worth the cause... She even dropped out of Hogwarts (and you know how much she cared about education) in the 7th year to help Harry find the Horcruxes... Overall she was always helped Harry and she fought the Death Eaters on multiple occasions, even though it wasn't her fight. Apart from the final battle at Hogwarts, she could have avoided all the troubles that the trio went through, if she minded her own business... But she chose to help Harry, putting her safety at risk, even though she didn't have to. Not only she was brave, but she was selfless and willing to fight for her friends.

One thing everyone forgets about Ravenclaws is that they are hella creative. Artists/Authors are more likely to end up in Ravenclaw than actual scholars. Ravenclaws believe in discovery and most feel like bringing something new into the buissness than use something that is already there. That i a trait that Hermione lacks. Yes, she is intelligent, but she is not much of a creative person as she is always following what is there instead of believing something new.

"New approaches to conventional methods of spell conjuring or potion making" Not really, she follows instruction. I believe in the Half-Blood Prince, when Harry is doing different instruction while making potions, that Hermione is frustrated at Harry, and doesn't change her method because she can only follow what her book is telling her. During her Divination classes, rather than trying to look past the practical and open up and read the teacups, she just blurts out what she THINKS Prof Trelawney wants to hear. She's always looking for an absolute, and I don't think that's how Ravenclaw works. Take the Door riddle: "Which came first, the phoenix, or the flame?" Hermione would NEVER be able to answer that question, because she would be too focused on the fact that she was given 2 options and there fore it has to be one of them She would never consider that "A circle has no end"

I heard one on the subject sometime ago which seemed to reach a satisfactory conclusion on the matter. If the Sorting Hat places students into houses based on what they consider the most worthy trait, then it would make some sense that sniveling, cowardly, hero wannabe Peter would place courage at the pinnacle of desirable. Unfortunately, he never felt any confidence in himself, especially compared to his friends, and he serves as an example of what happens when someone metaphorically sells their soul. Another example of this is Gilderoy Lockhart, a Ravenclaw who turned his back on the pursuit of knowledge to further his own thirst for fame and a quick route to the recognition he thought his "genius" deserved. This eventually resulted ironically enough in his mind being permanently damaged.

@arcanewarrior863 4 жыл бұрын

Not advertising other channels, but Harry Potter Folklore already covered it. Pettigrew was too disloyal to be a Hufflepuff, to stupid to be a Ravenclaw, and too lazy and unambitious to be a Slytherin. Despite not being brave like a Gryffindor, he valued bravery strongly, wanting to be like James and the other Marauders. The Sorting Hat takes valued traits and personal choices into consideration. Pettigrew was a hatstall, where the hat is unsure what house to put someone in for over five minutes. Pettigrew was between Gryffindor and Slytherin, but at the end the hat gave in and sorted him into Gryffindor

I agree that Hermione was placed in the House in the most NEED of her abilities and talents. And the Hat surely viewed her values as a preeminent component in picking Gryffindor...or did it? Hermione is boldly independent, and while she is iron clad in upholding the rules, she grows to see that there are greater concerns. I hear Neville, Peter, and even Cedric often as possibly being sorted into the wrong house. And Dumbledore himself states that he thinks that AT TIMES students are sorted too soon. But...what if the sorting hat chooses based on two things..rather than one? Each House has a list of what they desire in each student, hence there is the House's needs accounted for. But, instead of a student's values, what if it's based on what each Student NEEDS from Hogwarts? If we use that criteria, Neville's growth from a bumbling inept student to a defender of students and killer of Nagini, et al. shows that he needed the opportunities to be brave...something he would not get in Hufflepuff (the most common alternative House for Neville) So. If we view it that way, we can see Peter NEEDED to learn to be good and brave...and while he largely failed, he was successful by the slimmest of margins. Cedric may have needed the House that required hard work to excel...or maybe not. But it's possible. At least, that's my amendment to the value theory of sorting. 😊

I think the more intelligent a person is, the harder it is to be brave. For a person to be brave, they must first see the dangers of an action but they still take it because it is the right thing to do. For a person to be intelligent they must be able to think things through and understand risks and benefits for taking actions. For example, a person of a fair level of intelligence might look at crossing a stream and think "I must be careful not to slip, and current might carry me away." Whereas a person of a great level of intelligence might look at crossing a stream and think "I must be careful where I step, the rocks are most likely slippery and it might be deeper than it looks in some parts, I could drown". Both would be considered brave to cross the stream but I think one more aware of how dangerous it is is showing much more bravery.

Bc Harry didn’t want to be in slytherin..... he was a gryffindor at heart but had a part of Voldemort inside him..... therefore the hat defaulted to gryffindor..... but Neville was truly was a gryffindor, he just didn’t know it..... he didn’t realize he could be brave

@gidzmobug2323 4 жыл бұрын

I think the Hat was deciding between two houses with Harry. Remember the dialogue from his Sorting--the Hat said tht Slytherin would help him on his way to greatness..... But Harry wanted no part of Slytherin.

1) Harry just wanted to NOT be in Slytherin. 2) I think the Sorting Hat was really saying he would have done well anywhere.

As. I read it, Harry was near equally suited for all four houses. By firmly expressing his preference to not be in Slytherin, he showed the courage required to tip the scales to Gryffindor. In Neville's case, he probably would have done well in Hufflepuff, but I suspect he wished he shared the bravery his parents had, which made the hat decide that would be the path for him with the most potential.

One trait that seems to be prominent in all 3 of the main characters: Loyalty. Bravery may be the trait that is generally defining of a Gryffindor, Loyalty is the truly deciding factor. Selflessness also applies. Look at how Hermione downplayed herself and lifted up Harry and Ron after the troll incidebnt. She selflessly took blame for going after the troll, even though she didn't to make Harry and Ron out to be the ones who bravely came to her aid. She didn't want them to be in trouble. That's loyalty. And Ron and Harry going after her in the first place was an act of loyalty before bravery, too. Something else to take away from that scene. She was admitting to Harry and Ron that they were right about her acting like, as Snape put it, an insufferable know-it-all. She blatantly spoke of having read about trolls and thought she could handle it, and then said she was wrong. This is bravery being shown. It's not easy to accept harsh criticism and admit that it has merrit. Harder when it comes from friends. Man thgere's a lot of good character analysis to be had scattered throughout these stories. That's what I like about them.

7:58 it was ron that stood in front of harry in the books, the movie just adapted that scene for hermione to do that because ron is more of a comic relief character in the movies and the directors favored Hermione.

And I think Hermione is actually not very intelligent at all. It's fairly obvious she has an eidetic memory given her ability to memorize all her course books and additional ones before she starts Hogwarts. Given that genetic quirk, if you DON'T get high marks in a school like Hogwarts, which focuses on rote memorization, something is wrong. To me, Hermione is an organic photo copier with its scan and repeat function, original and creative out of the box thinking is beyond her. Fred and George are far better at true magic, which is all about imagination, than Hermione will ever be. She's a Gryffindor because she mentally screamed that as soon as the Hat touched her head, she wanted to be in the same house as Dumbledore was, no other reason.

@petergreen9416 3 жыл бұрын

I think that what truly defines a ravenclaw is to think deeply. Hermione tends to think very logically. For example, if a murder occured the ravenclaw would be more interested in what went through their minds and the gryffindor would want to know the actual. Luna and Hermione would be a good example.

Why do people always forgett that Hermione didn't stand up to Sirius in the book's. That was Ron with a broken leg. Also Ron had to remind Hermione that she was a witch after she panicked because they had no sun light to defeat the devil's snare. Also Hermione didn't know what a mudblood was when malfoy called her that. Ron explained that to them and so on. In the movies they took away all her more bad qualities and gave all of brave stuff Ron does to her. They also make Ron dumber than he is and more crule towards Hermione. Even when they had a fight Ron defended Hermione in the books when Snape called her an insufferable know it all. It irritates me to no end that a strong female character like Hermione is not allowed to have any flaws in these movies. That she and Harry never have a disagreement because sometimes Ron has a point and sometimes the boys are both idiots. It also annoyed me that they made Ron act crule towards her because Hermione marries him in the end. In the book's they actually have potential to be a happy couple in the future. When they grow up and learn to make compromises. In the movie the perfect smart Woman gets married to her mean friend from school. Also i like Hermione better with her flaws :)

Great video. I always felt that the hat sorted you into the houses depending less on your abilities and more on your true values. Like Hermione, I value bravery above all else, but I am also very good at many academic subjects. Although I may, currently, feel more intellegent than brave, I truly value Gryffindor's virtues. I feel that I am my best self when I exude bravery and confidence. Due to this, Gryffindor is the house for me. Gryffindor is my ideal and true self.

I've always seen the other houses as representative of the main trio and their differences with each one. >Hermione is Ravenclaw because of her cleverness, but she isn't put there because she lacks the ability to use her logic to understand things that are illogical, like divination or Luna's beliefs. >Ron is Hufflepuff because he is sort of a third wheel, he feels like an outcast until he realizes that he is just as useful to Harry as Hermione just by being his loyal best friend. >And Harry, obviously is Slytherin because of his similarities with Voldemort but he does not lust for power or a following, but that is the mantle he unwillingly takes up and eventually wears well. In the end, they were all put in Gryffindor because of their courage to stand up and fight against darkness, and their unwillingness to accept these limitations and grow past them, because growing up also takes courage and HP is most importantly a coming-of-age tale.

Perhaps the Sorting Hat has some precognitive abilities that allow him to sense what the character is like in the future as well as in the present. As people's personalities and characteristics change over time, this could become an important factor in the sorting. This could be another reason why he put her in Gryffindor; he sensed the countless times she displayed bravery and saved Ron and Harry's lives

One of the reasons I think she isn’t in Ravenclaw is then it would be very hard to make her friends with Harry and Ron example : let’s say hufflepuff and griffindoor have a class together with snape Ravenclaw and syltherin have charms class there is a chance that in a Hogwarts school year there will be about 50 classes with ravenclaw and griffindoor making it too short to form the friendship Harry rON and hermione have. They also don’t share the same common room that would make it hard.i think she would have done well in ravenclaw and I think jk Rowling knew that ( harry and Ron wouldn’t fit in ravenclaw) so they came up with a pretty good excuse in the book it says “ I’m gonna put u in griffindoor because you have bushy hair like a lion “ if ravenclaw has a free session there is a good chance griffin door dosnt and that would mean that in the chamber of secrets it would be harder to brew the polijuice potion This is just a theory please don’t get mad ( some of these words are hard to spell but most is autocorrect 🙄)

I think that all Hogwarts students have a little bit of every house in them... but the deciding factor for their sorting depends on which characteristics they value the most. Hermione says it herself. Of course she admires “books and cleverness”; but to her, there are “far more important things: friendship and bravery...” ps. Great video:) I’m a year late but oh well!
