Test: Which Family Would You Be in If You Were in the Harry Potter World

In childhood, many of us wanted to get into the magic world of Harry Potter: get a letter from Hogwarts and study at the legendary school. Some people imagined themselves as brave guys from Gryffindor, some — as cunning kids of Slytherin, and others preferred Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

We at Bright Side are grown-ups, but we still want to get our owl with a letter. And we’re wondering: if our childhood dreams came true, which family would we be born into? We decided to make a test to find out.
