Gryffindor
The house that treats nerve as a kind of scholarship. Its room sits high in a tower, and its reputation — fair or not — is for people who would rather move than wait for a perfect plan.
A reading of the values
Courage in these stories is not a costume. It shows up as speaking in a hall, walking toward a noise, or refusing a safer story about yourself. The house also collects recklessness, and the books do not always pretend those are different things.
