A controversial question to start off the anniversary countdown discussions:

Which is the best House?

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 14:07

SLYTHERIN!

This is not a discussion it's a fact xD

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 14:18

I disagree with that.

RAVENCLAW is the best house!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 15:52

In attempt to take a completely unbiased look I have come to the conclusion that indeed, Ravenclaw is the very best house.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 15:54

I'd like to state for the record, that Gryffindor is in fact the best house of the lot.

Oh please, Chamber of Secrets? Slytherin made.

Half Blood Prince? Look it was a Slytherin.

Cover of the adults cover of Deathly Hallows? The Slytherin Locket

First and only House in HE so far to hold a cup for both quidditch and House cup? Slytherin

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 16:38

And every one of those things was EVIL!

Chamber of Secrets: home of the big bad basilisk that nearly shut down Hogwarts.

Half Blood Prince: Death Eater!! OK, he came good in the end, but still not a nice man!

Slytherin Locket: Eeeevil locket of doom!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 16:44

I have to agree with Raist - slytherins have more fun!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 16:46

Evil is fun Amy you need to join the dark side

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 16:51

Okay, I'll give you points for Snape as the Half Blood Prince, but are you really bragging about the Chamber of Secrets? Where a huge baskalisk hides and then comes out and kills Hogwarts students? I'd try to downplay the amount of wizards and witched killed at the hands of former SLytherins if I were you, Raisty.

Now Luna Lovegood, there's a role model of what can come from a great house

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 16:54

You talk like killking is a bad thing But killing is fun! It's what makes it worth it

And Luna is a downer cuz she was a sucker for gyffies!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 16:57

And talking of Gryffies....

We had the Marauders! We had the boy who lived! The smartest witch in her year!

The Weasley twins! And our mascot is a lion! Who wants a badger or a snake or eagle??

Where are my Gryffindors? Come support your house :D

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 17:03

Look people the cockyness of gryffindors looking down at all others.

At least Slytherins know they're the best they dont need to humiliate the others to prove themselves like weka insecure gryffindors.

And Granger belonged in Ravenclaw. The boy who lived? That reckless brat? You can have them all for you.

I'll only give you points for the twins the only good thing that came out of that House.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 17:09

But she was sorted into Gryffindor Countdown Discussion: Day 20 410894

We also have red! Red is a good colour!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 17:10

Oh please!

It's ironic how red is mostly associated with blood and negative traitst while green is associated with hope and good.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 17:12

Ah, but we also have gold, which is associated with warmth and sun and happiness.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 17:13

Silver is way more fashion than gold!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 17:32

GRYFFINDOR ALL THE WAY!

Were Brave and Loyal and will do anything for our friends. So there!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 19:29

Psh, all of you are wrong.

Hufflepuff is the best!

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 22:10

Ravenclaw is the best... after all brains bet all.....lol

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Fri Feb 01 2008, 22:14

Yellow is cheerful and happy
Blue just makes you ... blue

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sat Feb 02 2008, 06:23

I still agree that Slytherin is the best :p

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sat Feb 02 2008, 06:35

Of course I feel that Ravenclaw is the best house as it is my house, my reasons for this is that, brains beats them all. With the knowledge you can figure out how to do things and what to do without having to be recklessly brave. Bravvery will get you killed whearas intelligence will save you. Loyality that will also get you killed and being loyal doesent always mean that you are loyal to the right kind of people. You can be loyal to voldemort so how can that be a virtue. And slytherin well I think their fault speaks for themselves. There cunning yeah its going to mean they survive but at what cost, they have no friends there on there own. Um yeah fun. But waht fault can be brought from being intelligent you my be a little distant and like Luna sort of live on a planet of your own but you will get far in life and achieve countless things. It will also mean that you are more foccused in what you because you have the intelligence to know that you have to do things to get what you want.
Therefore I conclude that Ravenclaw is by far the best house.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sat Feb 02 2008, 10:15

Knowledge is power. It is the key to success.

Bravery? Oh, a courageous heart can get you plces, but where are you without brains?

Loyalty? its a good trait, but in the end it will kill you. You'll always be torn on where your loyalty lies.

Cunning? ha! You can survive on that, but in order to survive you need smarts.

Intelligence = Ravenclaw. Therefore, it is the best.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sat Feb 02 2008, 10:35

All the house are great, that's a fact. But if there can only be one superior house, than look no farther than Ravenclaw. It's a house of winners. No, we might not have won the House Cup...yet, but what makes us winners is our abilities, not our trophies. We have been blessed with intelligence and wit, with hard working students who will achieve personal greatness even if they don't achieve fame. There's no denying that Gryffindors are brave, that Hufflepuff are loyal, or that Slytherins are cunning, but all of those traits can be seen in any Ravenclaw, with the added bonus of brains.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sat Feb 02 2008, 10:57

I agree with what the ravenclaws said above Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Devil

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Mon Feb 04 2008, 07:39

ahhh nice speeches .... but Gryffindor is still the best! I mean, who else can roar like we do? *g*

plus, you have to admit we're pretty much on our way of beating Ravenclaw in Quidditch this term which, to use a popular phrase, rocks our socks Countdown Discussion: Day 20 436937

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Mon Feb 04 2008, 16:00

Ive been asked many times which house is my favourite, and yet again I am not going to let on which one. I think all the houses on HE are equal in their greatness and each house has brought so much to the site, as for the real Hogwarts house favourite of mine...now that would be telling lol

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Thu Feb 07 2008, 07:32

We (GRYFFINDOR) have/had all the heroes - Slytherin had one, maybe even two - but we had EVERYONE :D

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Mon Feb 11 2008, 11:50

Ravenclaw is that best. Enough Said...lol.

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Tue Feb 19 2008, 13:59

Hufflepuff is the best house because there's no need to be something we're not. We can be ANYTHING :D

Gryffindors, if you're not brave, or if you don't seem brave, you get made fun of (Neville, who did end up showing some stuff but not until later, the fact of the matter remains that it happened!)

Ravenclaws are intelligent, but few of them can hold up in teh face of danger (Cho Chang and Michael Corner, anyone...) [Kudos for Luna, though]

Slytherins are pressured to be ambitious pureblood MANIACS. Look what happened to Draco when he tried getting out!

Hufflepuffs on the other hand...we have Tonks xD and she was brave, and smart AND a metamorphagus. Come on, what's not to love there? XD

So, in conclusion...Hufflepuff

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sat Feb 23 2008, 19:17

THe best is GRYFFINDOR but Ravenclaw is second

Subject: Re: Countdown Discussion: Day 20 Sun Feb 24 2008, 02:08

Slytherin:

We had: Draco, Voldermort, Salazar Slytherin, the colour green, a serpent...
