What House Do Most Libertarians Identify As?

I have found that by talking to other avid Potter fans, most libertarians, or libertarian-leaning conservatives, identify as either Ravenclaws or Slytherins, with very few Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors added into the mix. So, simply put, what house do you identify as, and why?

As admin of Pottermore-Ravenclaw, I guess maybe that says a lot about which house I’m from. 😉

Interesting question. I don’t think that the sorting of the students in the original book made much sense. One example for all is Hermione – she was clearly clever and should be in Ravenclaw but she went to Gryffindor instead. I liked how it was in fanfiction “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality” (If you don’t know it, you should definitely read it on hpmor.com. I’m 99% sure you will like it – it even contains some liberty ideas; AFAIK the author is libertarian. Warning: currently takes about a week to read it all!)

I’m not answering in terms of the original book but in terms of HPMOR I’m Ravenclaw. 🙂

  The reason she was sorted into Gryffindor was because she most likely chose to be there. I believe she was a hatstall between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but chose G. Why? It does take someone brave to be in the house of bravery. Plus, would you ever be brave enough to wipe your memory from your family and leave them behind, unsure of what the future was to hold? I wouldn’t. Girl is a bamf. 🙂

Probably Ravenclaw. Intellectual, not particularly concerned with power games.

Is there a good test for this? I’d tell you immediately if I’d read more of the books, but as it stands, I need a test thing. Have a good one to suggest?

  Go to http://www.pottermore.com and sign up there. 🙂 You’ll travel through the chapters, take the wand quiz and get your own individual wand, then you’ll take the sorting hat quiz. If you just zoom through the chapters not care, it should take you max 10-15 minutes to get to the quiz. 🙂
