The Houses of Hogwarts

Introduction

You are a new, incoming student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and are currently in the process of being assigned your house. Standing in the great hall amongst all of your new peers, you see the renowned sorting hat, singing.

You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff, where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin. You’ll make your real friends.

Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends.

(Excerpted from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone)

What Characteristics Define Each House?

Harry and Ron are Gryffindors, both incredibly daring [1], primarily due to their willingness to go into battle, even when they cannot be certain of the outcome. Malfoy, a Slytherin, is particularly resourceful [2] in the way he approaches fights-- he is always able to make the most of a given situation, sometimes using tricks to achieve victory. Hufflepuffs are dedicated, both to each other and to Hogwarts as a whole; they will commit themselves to supporting each other and their classmates above all else. Last but not least, Ravenclaws are defined by their intelligence and wit [3]; it isn’t just that they’re smart, they think and work incredibly quickly.

호그와트 기숙사

들어가며

당신은 호그와트 마법학교의 신입생이고, 지금 기숙사 배정식 중입니다. 모든 동기들과 함께 그레이트 홀에 서서 그 유명한 마법의 분류모자가 노래하는 것을 보고 있습니다.

네가 가슴 깊은 곳부터 용감하다면, 넌 그리핀도르에 배정 될 거라네.

그리핀도르들은 담대함, 용기, 기사도정신이 남다르지.

네가 공정하고 충실하다면, 후플푸프에 배정 될 거라네.

인내심 있는 후플푸프들은 힘든 일을 두려워하지 않는다네.

아니면 네가 준비되었다면, 오래도록 현명한 래번클로에 배정 될 거라네.

래번클로들은 늘 재치 있고, 배우려하지.

아니라면 아마 슬리데린에서 진정한 친구를 만날 거라네.

교활한 슬리데린들은 목적을 달성하기 위해 수단을 가리지 않지.

(해리포터와 마법사의 돌에서)

어떤 특성들이 각 기숙사를 결정하나요?

그리핀도르의 해리와 론은 둘 다 믿을 수 없을만큼 담대하고, 결과를 확실히 알 수 없을 때라도 기꺼이 전투에 참여합니다. 경쟁할 때 특히 지략 있는 슬리데린의 말포이는 항상 주어진 상황을 가장 잘 활용하고, 승리를 위해 가끔은 속임수도 사용합니다. 후플푸프들은 서로에게 그리고 호그와트 전체에 헌신적이고, 무엇보다도 서로를, 학우들을 지지하는 데 전념합니다. 마지막으로 똑똑함과 재치가 남다른 래번클로들은 똑똑할 뿐만 아니라, 믿을 수 없을만큼 빠르게 생각하고 일합니다.
