10 Harry Potter Characters Who Were Sorted Into The Wrong House
3. Hermione Granger
Sorted House: Gryffindor
Correct House: Ravenclaw
Practically speaking, it would have complicated the story to have put Hermione in a different house to Harry and Ron, yet there’s no denying she was more suited to Ravenclaw than Gryffindor.
Throughout the series, Hermione was always willing to accompany Harry on his numerous adventures at Hogwarts and beyond. This willingness to face danger was certainly strong evidence that Hermione was a genuine Gryffindor.
Nevertheless, Hermione’s intelligence was always more prominent than her bravery. She continuously outperformed her fellow classmates, including those in Ravenclaw. Indeed, with the exception of Quidditch, there was no part of her magical education that she did not excel at.
Hermione was also a highly pragmatic person. Harry’s quest to find and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes would have resulted in failure had it not been for her magical skills out in the wilderness.
Consequently, Ravenclaw House were robbed of an outstanding student when Hermione was sorted into Gryffindor.
