| I hereby enroll you in Gryffindor! |
| Founder – Godric Gryffindor. The Sorting Hat's words about this house in Book 1: “…Perhaps in Gryffindor, where the brave dwell, they will find courage and valor to create glory for themselves…” | The Sorting Hat's words about this house in Book 4: “…Godric Gryffindor, a daring brave man, master of the wild northern plains…” | “…And each carefully selected students not by merit, growth, or figure, but by the qualities of the soul and the principles of reason that he valued in human nature. Gryffindor gathered the brave, those who were not afraid in trouble…” | The Sorting Hat's words about this house in Book 5: “…Slytherin and Gryffindor – what friends they were!..” | “…Gryffindor says: I need brave people for an important task, and a name is just a word…” | “…Gryffindor, whose motto was courage, accepted only brave students, daring in battle, work, and word…” This is a house for the brave and courageous, i.e., for people who, in difficult moments of danger, will always lend a helping hand to those in need, whether it be an enemy or a friend. They are sometimes sharp-tongued, but they don't really pay attention to the consequences that these words will lead to. These are generally open and honest people who have absorbed the concept of honor with their mother's milk, and they don't need a definition of this word in the dictionary to understand and comprehend it; they feel it. You will never get a so-called "backstab" from a Gryffindor – he will not stoop to such pettiness, but he will not let himself be offended either; he will respond to the offender, perhaps not immediately, but he will respond in such a way that the enemy will think about whether to mess with him next time or at least appreciate the opponent's abilities. As I see it, Gryffindors have a clear understanding of good and evil, which they understand intuitively. Ask them for a specific definition or make them philosophize – you are unlikely to get anything useful or helpful from them on this score, but in a certain situation, they will show how they understand the words "good" and "evil." These individuals are also not without a sense of humor, one might even say a peculiar sense of humor… A prime example is Albus Dumbledore. He will most likely laugh along with the student at minor pranks that do not cause much harm but are, in essence, quite amusing and funny. Gryffindors are also quite purposeful people, clearly seeing and pursuing the goals they have set, only occasionally deviating to do things that come along. But it should be noted that there is some impulsiveness, I would even say spontaneity, in their character: emotions, feelings, and actions burst out faster than a Gryffindor has time to think about and analyze them. It can also be said that Gryffindors are not entirely without ambition. They will most likely pretend that they are not interested in the opinions of the people around them, and they will probably even express a dismissive tirade about this, but deep down, they are hurt and tormented by the fact that close people or people they considered friends did not support them… |
