Tom Felton has been sorted into Gryffindor while taking the Harry Potter House quiz yet again. Felton is an English actor and musician best known for starring as Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series. Felton was just 13 years old when he began portraying one of the most prominent students in the house of Slytherin. Felton portrayed Draco for all eight films of the Harry Potter franchise, gaining fame as the arch enemy of Harry Potter. While the films concluded in 2011, Felton is open to returning as Malfoy in another Harry Potter film, should the opportunity to arise.
Much of Felton's character's identity was rooted in the House of Slytherin. Students are sorted into this house based on their possession of characteristics including cunningness, resourcefulness, leadership, and ambition. Preference is also given to pure-blooded students, rather than Muggle-born. The house received quite a reputation for producing many dark wizards and witches, including Voldemort himself. However, the Malfoys were very prideful of their deep roots in the house, producing generations of Slytherins. In the film, it took the Sorting Hat mere seconds to place Malfoy in Slytherin, but in real-life the hat isn't so sure about Felton.
In celebration of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the first Harry Potter film, Felton shared a video to Instagram of him taking the Harry Potter House quiz. Felton, who is really just Malfoy in Muggle disguise, wanted to put all rumors to rest by donning the Sorting Hat. However, he was quite disappointed by the results as he was pronounced a Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat. Surprisingly, this is not his first failure at getting Slytherin, but his third. Last year he was hilariously sorted into the Hufflepuff house and five years he also got Gryffindor. Check out his posts below:
Ever since the release of the Harry Potter films, Hogwarts House sorting has become one of the biggest trends in modern society. Not only can individuals easily find out their own Hogwarts House, but there is also endless entertainment in grabbing characters from wholly different franchises and analyzing them by determining their Hogwarts House. Naturally, the Harry Potter stars' Houses in real-life are of the utmost curiosity to fans of the franchise. Felton actually isn't the only star to find disappointment in his Hogwarts House, as Rupert Grint found he belonged to Hufflepuff rather than Gryffindor. Of course, Felton has a bit more pressure than most with the expectations of the Malfoy family resting upon his shoulders.
While Felton's failure to get into Slytherin is quite hilarious to watch, it also just goes to show that he is too nice a guy to mix with the cunning wizards of that house. Being sorted into Gryffindor or Hufflepuff is nothing to be disappointed in, as these houses are for those who demonstrate bravery, courage, determination, strong work ethic, patience, and loyalty. While Felton may be the cunning and ruinously ambitious Malfoy on screen, his video suggests off screen he is quite a bit more laidback and kind. Meanwhile, it was also nice to get this update from Felton after his collapse while golfing caused concern among many of his supporters. Harry Potter fans can rest assured Felton is on the mend, but he may need a bit of time to recover from this fresh heartbreak over his Hogwarts House quiz results.
