What is the name of the Hogwarts house associated with Harry Potter?

Harry Potter is sorted into Gryffindor at Hogwarts.

Gryffindor is one of the four Hogwarts houses, alongside Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. The house was founded by Godric Gryffindor and is traditionally associated with courage, bravery, nerve, and chivalry. The Sorting Hat places Harry there at the beginning of his first year.

Harry’s closest friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are also Gryffindors. Many important members of the resistance against Voldemort, including Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall, have connections to the house as well.

Harry’s sorting could have led to Slytherin, and the books emphasize that his choice matters. The story therefore distinguishes between qualities a person may possess and the house they join. Gryffindor is not the only house containing admirable characters, and the other three houses each have their own histories and values.
