So my husband and I were having a conversation after seeing this:
Jack: Can you imagine what Hufflepuff must have felt like at that Hogwarts founders' meeting? Gryffindor is like 'ALL STUDENTS MUST BE BRAVE' and Hufflepuff is just there like 'You all are fucking nuts. How about this... how about you take the weirdos you want, and I'll teach all the normal kids.'
This lead to a whole conversation on Hogwarts houses, and I eventually got him to take the Pottermore sorting quiz.
Jack: I'm a Hufflepuff.
Lynn: Cool!
Jack: I'm going to go find out what my wand is.
Lynn: Oh, you're going to do the rest of the quizzes?
Jack: Yeah, I'm going to be a real wizard, duh. Except I'm a Hufflepuff.
Lynn: Are Hufflepuffs not real wizards?
Jack: Hufflepuffs are the normal ones. They're the guys who just want to live life, and they have to learn magic so that they don't accidentally make weird shit happen all the time. That's my perception of them. Like a Hufflepuff would totally just learn how to drive a car like a normal person, but first they have to learn magic so they don't accidentally make their car explode when someone cuts them off.
Lynn: Huh.
Jack: What was your house?
Lynn: Gryffindor.
Jack: ... Weirdo.
