For Harry Potter’s birthday, try on the federal affairs Sorting Hat
Today is Harry Potter’s 37th birthday. In honor of The Boy Who Lived and savior of the wizarding world, we had some administration officials and members of Congress try on the Sorting Hat to determine which house of Hogwarts is their true home.
As a proud Slytherin, I’d like to remind everyone that this is all in good fun, and each of the four houses has its merits. (Even Hufflepuff; J.K. Rowling herself would have been one.)
Do you agree with our sorting? Who did we miss? Let us know in the comments or tweet to us at @RSI! And always remember:
