Okay, confession

Ravenclaw. As proof, I used the phrase "et al." correctly in my Facebook status this morning

Yes. I think this qualifies us both. (I didn't use it in my facebook status, but I would have been overjoyed to have seen it in yours, so I think that's close enough.)
And where's that thing I read a long time ago about how clearly Hermione should have been a Ravenclaw? There was an interesting analysis as to why she wasn't. I can't remember it, but it was interesting.

Or worse, when your bookworm daughter starts to read it and then puts it down like, "eh, I'm just not that into it."

That sort of happened to me. Really enjoyed reading the series growing up but by the time the 5th book came out I lost interest. Think I made it about halfway through before I put the book down and never read anymore of it after that.0 -

Same. Except I've seen exactly zero minutes of any of the movies.0 -

Wrong thread4 -
I'm a floater. I easily move between groups.
I can fit into any of them depending on the situation and my mood, easily.
I have quite a multifaceted personality.1 -

<--- Huffleclawindor... Maybe I should just sort myself as a Hogwartian.0

Well, this is going to make me sound like a massive dork, but this is my theory. Ravenclaw is devoted to intellectualism and furthering knowledge, but I also believe that as a grouping, they are neutral. They enjoy the pursuit of knowledge, but when it comes to the fight against "good" or "evil", they find it more fascinating to analyze why people choose good or evil rather than to choose one side or the other.
Gryffindor is comprised mostly of lawful good, or the "crusader" type personality. I think people are sorted into their houses based mostly on their overriding character traits. While Hermione is brilliant and dedicated to the pursuit of learning, she is also a lawful good. She wouldn't be happy just knowing things, because she also believes that she has to act on that knowledge.
I'm kind of embarrassed that I've spent this much time thinking about it

I think this is pretty close to the theory I read a while back about Hermione - that it's not your talents that the sorting hat is analyzing, it's your values. So Hermione, while clearly being an analytical smartypants, was appropriately placed in Gryffindor because she values bravery and standing up for what's right above all else. Same with Neville, who seems like a chicken (until the end) but so admires his parents for standing up to Voldemort and wants to be like them.
That also explains Crabbe and Goyle who aren't cunning or sly in the slightest.

Yes! Thank you for geeking out with me over Harry Potter -- it's such a brilliantly devised series.0
