Gryffindor

"You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart." - The Sorting hat

Gryffindor is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, founded by Godric Gryffindor. The particular characteristics of students Sorted into Gryffindor are courage and chivalry, of which the lion is the symbol. Until the death of Albus Dumbledore in 1997, the Head of House was Minerva McGonagall, but the position is currently vacant. The Gryffindor Common Room may be found behind the portrait of the Fat Lady on the Seventh Floor.
