Books for Gryffindors

I know several people have done this before and I just wanted to add in my own two cents. I have to say, I think my choices are pretty good. I am a Gryffindor so I chose to start with this one, but I do plan on doing a post for all of the houses. So stay tuned for the others.

A Promise of Fire

This series was so fun to read. It was exciting from the very first chapter. It's packed full of action, humour, and romance. It's a trifecta. It's just *chefs kiss*. Go in not knowing too much, I can almost guarantee you will love it.

The Shining

Since we are Gryffindors, we do things that scare us for the thrills. Such as reading the Shining in the middle of the night with a flashlight. I say this from experience. That is the best way to read this book. 

Beowulf

This is the epitome of bravery. If bravery were a text it would be Beowulf. This is an exciting adventure from start to finish. If you want some classic action, definitely give this one a read. I would recommend the R. M. Liuzza translated edition. It's a really easy translation to understand when I've had to look at two different translations for school and this one was much easier to understand.

The Outsiders

This book was all about overcoming prejudice and being brave. There's a lot of action, and while I almost put this in Hufflepuff because this book was full of heart, I just felt like it had its place in Gryffindor.

What books would you guys put on this list?

Sorting Book Characters into Hogwarts Houses

I've written a lot of reviews where I will sort a character into a Hogwarts house to try and explain to everyone what that person is like. I then had the idea to maybe make a post where I sort four characters into a house and then I talk about why I would put them there. It seemed fun to me so I'm doing it. Maybe I'll do more if I feel the urge to.

Percy Jackson 

Hufflepuff

I know a lot of people would probably put Percy in Gryffindor because he is very brave and he has a lot of qualities that are very Gryffindor, but being sorted into a house also has to do with that person's values. I think Percy has very Hufflepuff like values, he cares so much about other people and he wouldn’t even do the bravery thing if it wasn’t for the ones he cares about. 

Rose Hathaway 

Gryffindor

Rose is very brave and she seems really into that. She’s basically the picture of Gryffindor in my mind. I don’t think I could imagine her being in any other house. 

Celeana Sardothian/Aelin Galathynius 

Slytherin

I’ve thought about this one long and hard, Celeana could really be in any of the houses, she loves reading and learning, she’s also insanely brave, but at the end of the day, I think she is so incredibly cunning and ambitious that I would just have to put her into Slytherin. 

Cather 

Ravenclaw

She’s a Ravenclaw. There is no doubt in my mind, this girl writes fan fiction. There is no possible way she wouldn’t be in Ravenclaw unless she pulled a Harry and really wanted to be in another house. She is so smart in her own way, her forte is writing and she does it with love.

Do you guys agree with my sorting, or would you sort them into different houses?
