Which Hogwarts house does J.K. Rowling identify as her own?

J.K. Rowling identifies Gryffindor as her own Hogwarts house.

In the Harry Potter series, Hogwarts students are sorted into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has associated values, though the novels show that characters are more complicated than a single label. Gryffindor is especially associated with courage and daring.

Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger are all Gryffindors, as are several other central characters. Rowling’s own identification with Gryffindor is a fact about the author, not a fictional sorting ceremony shown in the books.

Fans sometimes infer an author’s house from personality or assign Rowling to Ravenclaw because of her writing and academic interests. Those guesses are not the canonical answer. Rowling has publicly said that she is a Gryffindor, making that the specific house associated with her.
