10 Harry Potter Characters That Actually Exist In Real Life

10. The Calgary Flames Are Actually Gryffindor House

If you weren't aware, the Calgary Flames are an ice hockey team from Canada. They're like Gryffindor for a couple of reasons. They were hailed this year as overachievers, expected to not do so well, but have actually proven themselves to be persistent in their game. And Gryffindors are pretty persistent, aren't they? How many times did Harry go back to The Mirror of Erised, even though he knew it was a bad idea? The Flames have also been described as winning hockey games the old-fashioned way: 'with grit, character, hard work, and team toughness'. HELLO, THIS IS GRYFFINDOR ALL OVER. The Flames might as well make their new mantra 'courage, chivalry, and determination' - which is what you have to have to be a true Gryffindor. Oh, their team logo has all these flames on it - reminiscent of the phoenix, which is so loved by the Gryffindors.
