About This Quiz

Harry Potter is one of the most popular and transformative book and movie series of an entire generation. You laughed. You cried. You hated characters and you loved them, and sometimes that was all the same character. What these stories brought to the world was, yes, a little bit of magic, but they brought lessons, too. They taught those who read them to reach for the stars no matter the obstacle, trust your friends because they'll always be there for you, and if an adult is keeping something from you, there might be a good reason. since there were so many books, there was plenty of opportunity to feel a special connection with a particular one.

Maybe you picked the house you felt you belonged in and associated yourself with another member of that house. Maybe you went with one of the dynamic trio, Harry, Ron or Hermione because they were seemingly the ones who were the most important to the story. These characters also find themselves in some pretty serious conversations just as much as they're in situations that celebrate their friendship and accomplishments. Which character are you really?
