    J.K. Rowling
    “You might belong in Gryffindor,
    Where dwell the brave at heart,
    Their daring, nerve, and chivalry,
    Set Gryffindors apart;
    You might belong in Hufflepuff,
    Where they are just and loyal,
    Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
    And unafraid of toil;
    Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
    If you've a ready mind,
    Where those of wit and learning,
    Will always find their kind;
    Or perhaps in Slytherin,
    You'll make your real friends,
    These cunning folks use any means
    To achieve their ends.”
