Salutations, curious mind!

He is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series created by author J.K.Rowling.

He is a wizard who attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the-boy-who-lived and his friends, Crab and Goyle. From his introduction in the first book, he’s a character who initially comes across as arrogant and cruel, he is a bully, a bigot and a snob who thinks he’s better than everyone else because of his pure-blood heritage.

But as the readers delve deeper into his story, they find a complex and multi-dimensional character who defies expectations and they begin to see that there is more to him that meets the eye...

Howdy hey! I’m here to give a review. I’m not even really into harry potter but I’m gonna review this anyways.
I like how you used multiple different sources. Honestly I kinda would’ve assumed that most people would identify with griffindor (because its the house of the main characters) or slytherin (because of draco fangirls), but like someone else said it does make sense that most people are ravenclaws (because harry potter is a book series).
There’s not a whole lot I can say about this, good work!

Wow, that's really interesting. I searched it up on google and it said that Hufflepuff is the most common and Gryffindor is last. I, personally am a Hufflepuff but I DESPERATELY want to be Ravenclaw. Then the second time I took the test it said I was Gryffindor which makes no sense because I am not very brave. Well, honestly a lot of people aren't (no offense) because if Voldemort asked me,"you want to join me on the dark side? oh, by the way you die if you say no" I'd say, "IDK" because, like, who wants to die? And then I'd hope that somebody stops Voldemort. My friend's addicted to Slytherin and I'm like, no, because that's where most of the baddies are.

Tbh it makes sense that Ravenclaws create the majority of the fandom. I mean, think for a couple seconds. Harry Potter is what? A BOOK series lol. If that's not Ravenclaw than idk what is. Personally, I feel the research was well done and I expect nothing less from my wonderfully eccentric Roomate.

this was pretty creative to write about.

Whats this? Cyber_Cs? The amazing Cyber? You bet! And i am here with a review thats not really a review.
I liked how you did your reaserch. It must have taken a lot.
But how did you find the quiz contetants. If i did a quiz i woudlnt want for people to know.
I agree with Asith

I did expect Gryffindor to be least popular. The main cast being Gryffindor probably puts a lot of people off because they don't want to be in the "obvious" house of choice. I personally thought slytherin would be above us ravenclaws though.
I am a raven claw. I would think only people who where really smart would be a raven claw. As being full of your self is more common than smarts. And what if people lied on the quizez? I dont but what if people did? I just dont THink saying that no matter what RavenClaws are the most comman.

Cyber_Cs the one the only, Follow me, and your wellcom. Signing off.

I'm a Hufflepuff... So like...

As this is quite a casual form of an essay, I figured I'd give a quick little review to this work, either way, using the YWS Critique Sandwich format as well.

First, what I liked. I do like that you're clearly interested in this subject and follow a couple of parts of the typical guidelines on how to conduct research and gather sources. The assigning of Hogwarts Houses was always something I was curious about since I do imagine that plenty of people develop over time, especially from a young age to become an adult, and thus, could affirm themselves to different ideas as they grew older. In real life, traits such as bravery or cunning can be interpreted in lots of ways and sometimes the line between what is perceived to be "good" or "bad" is quite thin and hard to see.

Next, what I think could be improved on. If we're really talking an essay here, then, of course, this is not the format one would want to turn into their teacher. I honestly think that putting in a few headers throughout this essay would really help guide the reader through every section you link to and explain, let alone being able to form an opinion clearer about how each source seems accurate or not. I'd also go look for a Resources article on how to insert links into the text directly, as I think the random hyperlinks do distract the reader from the content. Past that, it would be quite difficult to compare quiz/test results if the questions were written in distinct ways, as those pesky outside/uncontrollable factors can really affect results.

Finally, a summary of this essay and my points to look at for later. You're quite enthusiastic and interested in this subject which is read quite fully from the text itself. There are a few different resources you link to here which gives some nice feedback on whether these results could possibly be trusted. The YWS poll definitely seemed quite opposite the typical places say, while some houses could be looked down upon as being too "common" or "annoying" as in Gryffindor, as I've seen people on the internet do before.

All in all, this was a fun little read, and I hope you had fun writing this since I had fun reading it. ^^

As a ravenclaw, I don't really know what to feel :p

I did expect Gryffindor to be least popular. The main cast being Gryffindor probably puts a lot of people off because they don't want to be in the "obvious" house of choice. I personally thought slytherin would be above us ravenclaws though.
I wonder what the spread of results from only the official pottermore quiz would look like
