Would you rather be in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff? BE NICE

Perfect timing!!! HUFFLEPUFF!!! I am so sorry that JK chose to neglect us - but we are brave, we are smart , we are willing to take risks, just not to the point of being stupid...
Would you rather eat dirt or be humble

Do I havvveeee to?
Ravenclaw. Do I REALLY need to explain this own, my dear Puffy friend?
For everyone else, the Puff-iness is too much for me to bear. Nah, I just value intelligence over loyalty.
(And Slytherin and Hufflepuff are complete opposites, anyway.)

Would you rather be an intelligent Slytherin or a dumb Gryffindor?

Be humble. Slytherins do what's best for them,. if being humble equals not eating dirt, than by all means.

this is what cracks me up - that the classes think they are sorted by intelligence - they are not - ravenclaw is no more intelligent than any other class - they just test better and study harder etc... true intelligence is based upon intuition and creativity - (if you don't get it, ask Einstein) - the houses are set apart based upon how they react to the world - just like in the real world, we all make our mistakes and claim our glories based upon the decisions we make - not intelligence -

would you rather have a teacher or be a teacher

Ah, dear Teddy--you are young. Intelligence over loyalty is good.....for now. (sinister smirk, almost--dare I say it--Slytherin like?)

I'd take the Smart Snake, but we all know I'd never fit in. Really.

Would you rather wear shoes or go barefoot? (this may seem trivial to most, crucial to me)

Hear, Hear!~ Well said, Jelf!!

I would rather be a teacher--then I could be the kind of teacher I would want, and not the type I would invariably get stuck with. With whom I would get stuck--see, I could teach. LOL

My shoe question......

Well...you can't deny the definite division between generally intelligent people and generally idiotic people.

No, but really, can you study less and still be equally intelligent? It depends on your definition of intelligent. Does intuition and creativity make up intelligence? No, based off, maybe, but you can have both intuition and creativity and not be intelligent. Because intelligence is also, undeniably, based on information, on knowledge.

I'd rather be a teacher, I'm really not cut out to teach people. Not enough paitence for it.

The intelligent know that loyalty, or at least the apperance of loyalty, is equally important.
Shoes. My feet are rather tender.

Would you rather have a Phoenix or a dragon?

easy. Phoenix. Less poop to clean up, and I know of whence I speak.

Would you rather have one loyal friend or many acquaintances?

Do you honestly think a woman of JK's intelligence would have set up a school with one house smart, one house brave, one house loyal, and one house prejudice??? no each house has a range of all the traits - they just have a knee flex reaction to life - if it was based on intelligence, then slytherines would be on the lowest end of the totem poll as they never understood what was best for their society

would you rather have an i-pod or an antique record player
