Alright, alright, call me stereotypical, but today I'm here to prove that Gryffindor is the best House, and perhaps they are reckless sometimes, but, we NEED a little excitement, and hey! Harry's
in it! So watch out, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and even Hufflepuff! Gryffindor rules!
Anyway, JK Rowling is a Gryffindor herself, she says. And so is Harry Potter! And Hermione, and Ron, and all the Weasleys! And you just can't have anything against the House with Fred and George in it, those hilarious tricksters! Harry Potter has all the characteristics of the ideal Gryffindor, I'd say. He is daring, brave, and his love is enough to make him risk his own life for those that he cares about. He is an amazing character, created and introduced and developed personality to perfection.
But how could I ever forget about Dumbledore? He is the opposite of reckless, as most Gryffindors are thought to be. He could keep a secret (through most of his life and through all of the Harry Potter books, but I wont give it away), he was trustworthy, and always on the right side of the argument. One of his many quotes: "Ofcourse it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on Earth should that mean that it is not real?". I particularly like that one. It reminds me of a song called Dreams Don't Turn to Dust. But Dumbledore is always "the wise one, the sensible one", and people forget that he can have a sense of adventure too. There...are some things here that I could say about him, but they would be spoilers, so I have decided to not include that.
In conclusion, I believe that Gryffindor is one of the greatest Houses, perhaps even of the best beginnings, and well, what else can I say? Go Gryffindor!!!

Okay, so let me introduce Gryffindor to you all. Godric Gryffindor was their founder, and this guy, is totally amazing! Listen to this quote, about Godric Gryffindor by none other than the Sorting Hat itself.
"Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head The founders put some brains in me So I could choose instead!''" —The Sorting Hat on how Professor Gryffindor decided to use him to Sort
Gryffindors are known for being the bravest Hogwarts House. Genuine, true, and daring, down to the very core, what more could you ask for? This is my true opinion of Gryffindor, and you may not believe so, since I feel so strongly for Hufflepuff, but I really truly think that Gryffindors are out of this world! Even the problems with Gryffindor are related to their good qualities. For example, one is that Gryffindors really would die for something they care about. For example, I found an article on the Internet with the author describing her experience and how she knows she really is a Gryffindor. Here it is, in the author's words. "Funny story: I once participated in a theatre workshop where the instructor had given us this really cool exercise—she would give a group of six or seven of us a word, and we had 10 seconds to work out a tableau that imparted that word to the audience. My group was given “Protect.” We only had enough time to decide who in the group would be protected before she called on us to create the tableau. We assembled the picture and froze. “Well,” she said, in a very Professor McGonagall-y sort of way, “isn’t that interesting.” Using my peripheral vision, I could just make out the scene we had formed. Every other person in the group was working to corral the person who needed protecting away from harm, leading her to some safe haven. But I (alone) had flung myself in front of her, feet planted, arms spread wide to fend off whatever was coming."
"Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
And so, Gryffindor's hat was the Sorting Hat. Also, Gryffindor was, according to Harry Potter Wiki, was "the most in favor of allowing Muggle-borns into the school." This proves he was a very kind person who believed in fairness, and not just a proud warrior. Also from Harry Potter Wiki, "Gryffindor left two known relics: a goblin-made sword, adorned with rubies, and the Sorting Hat. The two items share a particular bond; whenever a "true Gryffindor" needs it, the Sword will let itself be pulled out of the hat."
