The Sorting Hat

[Lizzy Bennet]

Thanks for answering my questions, Sonkem! That helps a lot!

Hmmmmm . . . interesting what you had to say about the houses. Am I correct in assuming this is a "young" forum . . . by that I mean that the majority of posters are 16 and younger?

Well, sanity is boring and as Seal sang in his song "Crazy", "you're never going to survive unless you get a little crazy", which I agree with. Having a sense of humor and fun is always good. Although, I do, as I believe evidenced by my posts, tend to have a serious/thoughtful side, not to mention, I'm not as old as Paul , but older than most of the members here (it seems--I could be wrong! ), so I hope that doesn't mean I'm on the "wrong forum" full stop.

I'll have to give it some thought . . . thanks again for the help, Sonkem!

Actually......the craziest people here are 17 and up Why? Cause this is the only place that allowes such craziness. Im 23

I know what you are saying about not knowing who is from what house...I had the same problem when I was choosing a house.

[Violet]

once you've chosen a house to be in, how do you get permission to go into the common room?

[Mint]

Oh thats right, I was wondering why you weren't posting in Slytherin, Paul have to tell you that you have been sorted.

Just give him a day or two Once you come back to this forum and its gonna say that you are in Slytherin - you are done

[Paul]

Sorry for the delay, violet high but i'm pleased to say you're now sorted and have access to the Slytherin Common Room.

Those hungry Slytherins, Crabbe and Goyle
what do they in their cauldrons boil?
Is it a potion they're trying to make?
Oh no, it's a huge chocolate cake!


There will be a way in the next day or two for everyone to see exactly who is in each House.

Paul - you are sooo cool!!!!! Finally

[Lizzy Bennet]

I *think* I'm starting to get an idea (based, primarily, on who I know is in that house--not that other people aren't lovely!!! ) where I'd like to be, but Paul, where will this list of members for each house be posted? I'd definitely want to check that before making a decision. I'm looking forward to being sorted, and hopefully, wherever I go, I won't get black-balled! Nothing like getting ejected from the house you chose . . . sheesh! I'm just messing about...if I could be in all four houses, I would be! Luckily, no matter what I choose, I can always post with everyone all over the rest of the Forum.

[Plastiquehomme]

Personality wise I think I could fit into either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw - but I think today I shall choose Hufflepuff

[Violet]

Well i have to say i think i made the right choice
and bumblebee i cant really see u gettin black-balled somehow

[han lin]

hufflepuff is a great house ( the others are cool as well)
and bumblebee, you'd never get blackballed

[Paul]

where will this list of members for each house be posted?

Once I've got it all done, the details will be accessible from the Usergroups link (at the top right of the page). I'm aiming to get it fully done today - although there's some programming modification required to get things exactly the way I want, so it may take until tomorrow if there are unforseen problems.

Platiquehomme, pleased to sort you into Hufflepuff. Have a great time there

The Hufflepuff common room fireplace is fine
to warm cold hufflepuffs at winter time
but don't let platiquehomme get too near
or the heat may melt him away, I fear.

[Lizzy Bennet]

Thanks, Paul! And if I haven't told you already, awesome poems . . . I couldn't come up with all of those for every person . . . it's a nice touch. Have a good day!

[Blaise Zabini]

Ooh, part of the User Group thing is done! So, so spiffy...

[Boycey]

Paul, could you please put me in the Ravenclaw. cheers Boycey

[Lizzy Bennet]

This has simply been nerve-wracking for me! The whole 'you can never change your mind' bit has me in quite a tizzy, but I'm ready to take the plunge (I think! ). Although, if I could, I would *gladly* be a member of EVERY house , I think I will request to be sorted into the following House:

Ravenclaw.

My primary reason because Paul felt I'd 'fit in' there, given my posts and my personality (thanks Paul, that was quite a compliement you gave me about my being intelligent and thoughtful ), and my secondary reason being I enjoy two Ravenclaws' posts in particular: Holly Golightly's (what a fab username! ) and Boycey's (his theories are always interesting and make me laugh! ).

Hopefully, I've made the right choice, will NOT get black-balled , and can still be friends with all the rest of you NOT in Ravenclaw. There are so many of you I like who aren't Ravenclaws: Paul, Sonkem, Mint, Plastiquehomme, Neo, violet high, Blaise Zabini, and really, EVERYONE! Please don't take offense if I didn't mention you personally . . . you are all fantastic . . . thanks for being so patient with me! Hoping to feel at home in Ravenclaw!


P.S.--Ravenclaw, in the books, has always fascinated me as a House...except for Cho (who we don't know well), we really haven't gotten a lot of exposure to that House (unlike Gryffndor and Slytherin, obviously, and even Hufflepuff in books 2 and 4). I really like that Ravenclaws are known as intelligent, wise, and thoughtful!
