Hogwarts Houses
Every Hogwarts student is sorted into one of four houses on their first evening at the castle, and for most fans that house stays with them. This is the hub for all four: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff — their crests, colours and founders, and the full licensed collection for each.

The four houses
Each house was founded by one of the four witches and wizards who built Hogwarts around the tenth century, and each looks for a different quality in its students. The Sorting Hat reads the mind of every new pupil and decides — although, as Harry discovers, it will take your own preference into account.
Gryffindor
Founded by Godric Gryffindor. Colours scarlet and gold, animal the lion. It looks for courage, daring and nerve. Harry, Ron and Hermione were all Gryffindors, as were Dumbledore and the Weasley family.
Slytherin
Founded by Salazar Slytherin. Colours green and silver, animal the serpent. It looks for ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape and Tom Riddle belonged to Slytherin.
Ravenclaw
Founded by Rowena Ravenclaw. Colours blue and bronze, animal the eagle. It looks for intelligence, wit and a willingness to learn. Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang were Ravenclaws.
Hufflepuff
Founded by Helga Hufflepuff. Colours yellow and black, animal the badger. It looks for loyalty, patience and fair play. Cedric Diggory and Professor Pomona Sprout came from Hufflepuff.
What you can get for your house
Almost every product type in the shop exists in all four house versions, which makes a house the easiest way to choose a gift when you know nothing else about the recipient’s taste.
- Stationery — notebooks, journals, pens and bookmarks in house colours.
- Kitchen and home — crest mugs, glasses, plate sets and cushions.
- Clothing and accessories — socks, badges, keychains and scarves.
- Jewellery — crest pendants and bracelets.
- Food and drink — house tea tins and house-crest jelly bean boxes.
- Candles and scents — a candle for each house, with its own scent profile.
Which house am I in
The honest answer is that no quiz is canon — the Sorting Hat is not a questionnaire, and in the books it weighs a student’s own wishes alongside their character. Most fans already know their house and do not need telling. If you are buying for someone and genuinely do not know theirs, a four-house gift set sidesteps the problem entirely, and we stock those in tea, jelly beans and socks.
