When in doubt, go to the library!
Rita Skeeter: Hi- I’m doing a special tenth anniversary report on the battle of Hogwarts. Tell me, what do you think Harry Potter’s greatest achievement is- defeating he-who-must-not-be-named the first time, the second time, winning the triwizard tournament, slaying the basilisk?
Literally all of Harry’s classmates: There’s no need to call me sir, Professor.
Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery.

The Hogwarts House as Students (Based on People I Know)
Gryffindor
- listens to anime osts while studying
- highlights everything, gOD
- acts like a roman orator during class reports
- “pisses off” the teacher with their jokes but is secretly probably the teacher’s fave student
- mnemonics
- either studies ahead of time or DOESN’T SLEEP FOR 48 HOURS BECAUSE THEY PROCRASTINATED (there is no in between)
- flashcards galore
- gets elected as class president because their friends thought it would be funny (but is actually pretty good at the job??)
- determination to succeed even when they’re already too done with everything
Ravenclaw
- has 100 highlighters and a system for how to use them
- “do you think i’ll still have to take the exam if i die from caffeine overdose?”
- really creative bullet journals (or minimalist layouts)
- “how do you have such perfect handwriting?” “oh, it’s always been that way.” *actually spent 1000 hours perfecting it*
- scrolls through the studyblr tag and calls it studying
- posts something on studyblr and calls it studying
- procrastinates a lot tbh.
- classical music
- gets anxious about not studying. still not studying because they’re too anxious to start. (relatable?)
- always getting irrational thoughts about their “failing” grades
Hufflepuff
- lots of colorful pens
- a e s t h e t i c study spaces
- extra af when it comes to projects (they’ll probably wear a mammoth costume during their report about the ice age. y’know, for authenticity)
- working really hard for a subject they are not good at. feeling very satisfied when they get a high grade on that subject.
- probably expects the worst so they don’t get disappointed
- helping others study
- sharing their notes
- comforts other students who are having nervous breakdowns but they probably need comforting as well
- all-nighters.
Slytherin
- motivational quotes
- studying extra hard for a subject someone told them they’re not good at, purely for the satisfaction of proving them wrong
- they’re e x t r a af, in general
- getting really high grades, but only seeing that one grade that was lower than they expected
- either really organized or really messy (but, like, in an organized way)
- mind maps and flowcharts
- look calm as fuck when it comes to tests but it’s probably because they’re disassociating lmao
- working hard not just because they like it, but because they simply don’t like the thought of failing
- really supportive of their friends but at the same time bitter when they get higher marks at something (but only because they see it as a sign of personal failure)
- has high standards for them themselves. at the same time, they feel like everyone expects too much of them.
