Professor Godric Gryffindor was a wizard of medieval times and one of the four Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was good friends with Salazar Slytherin but opposed him when he later thought that they should not accept Muggle-born students at Hogwarts. It is unknown when he died. Gryffindor's birthplace became known as Godric's Hollow, in his honour. Godric Gryffindor's portrait still remains at Hogwarts.


Professor Rowena Ravenclaw was a Scottish witch, who lived in the early Middle Ages. Noted for her intelligence and creativity and regarded as one of the greatest witches of the age, Ravenclaw was one of the four Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin, as well as the namesake of the Ravenclaw House. Ravenclaw was "beautiful yet slightly intimidating."

Ravenclaw died sometime into the eleventh century, after she fell fatally ill. Legend had it that a broken heart is the cause — because her daughter, Helena, had run away with her diadem.


Professor Salazar Slytherin was a pure-blood wizard of medieval times. He was a Parselmouth (a wizard with the rare ability to speak with snakes) and skilled at Legilimency. He was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the former best friend of Godric Gryffindor, a fellow founder. Slytherin didn't trust Muggle-born students, and he expressed his opinion not to accept them at Hogwarts. However, when the other Hogwarts founders didn't agree, Slytherin left the school and did not return again but not before creating the Chamber of Secrets and concealing a basilisk inside. He died sometime in the Middle Ages.

Professor Helga Hufflepuff was a witch of medieval times and was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. While the other founders chose to have special students, Hufflepuff accepted them all, but the students of her house are described as loyal and hard-working. It is unknown when she died. Helga's portrait remains at Hogwarts.

Hogwarts Houses on their birthday


Ravenclaw: Filled with melancholy. Thinks a lot about the future, which can lead to an existential crisis. Let them have some cake and they will be fine.

Hufflepuff: Wants to spend the whole day with friends and family. Not that they want the focus to be them, just that they enjoy the company of the ones they love and want to share this time with them.

Gryffindor: Will have their cake and eat it too. They are the life of the party. Generally just upbeat the entire day. It is their day and nothing will get in their way.

Slytherin: “Another year closer to death.” *shrugs*

Why that one sound so me! :lmao: I always like shrug.. :lol:

I definitely laughed at the Slytherin one. :lol:

It's true and I remember that my brother text me and I was like.. Well, getting close to there and he was like..

Slytherin:[screams]

Gryffindor:[screams louder to establish dominance]

Hufflepuff: should we do something?

Ravenclaw: no, I want to see who wins this.
