WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU LIKE?

Gryffindors are likely to have strong opinions about books, and be vocal about them. These opinions can sometimes lead to heated debates, in which Gryffs rally to the idea of fighting for what they believe in. When they love a book, Gryffs will sing its praises, especially if it calls to the ideals they value most. Disliking a book can split Gryffs into two camps: some may be just as vocal about their distaste as they are with their love, and some may be quieter, but just as committed to sharing their thoughts. Gryffs are also more likely to experience stories on a personal level, and feel comfortable talking about those parallels.
Hufflepuffs might just be the ones who stick with a series for sentimentality’s sake, or because they have a real need to know how it all ends. Puff readers are likely to have a group of like-minded individuals with whom they share their thoughts on books–I’ve found lots of fellow book bloggers who identify as Hufflepuffs and value the community immensely. Puffs may also be more willing to move past their reading comfort zones, more often than not driven by recommendations from people they trust. They’ll try any genre at least once, but have a “home” genre, one that they retire to as needed.
Analysis is the Ravenclaw’s forte, though that doesn’t mean they lack emotional attachment to books. Claws tend to be more introspective and independent, curious enough to try new things. They aren’t necessarily the kind of readers who’ll stick with a book even if they don’t like it. Ravenclaw readers gravitate towards what interests them—for some, this might be historical fiction or YA, and for others, it might be comics or nonfiction. If their interests aren’t served even within their favorite genres, Claws likely won’t feel bad about moving on to the next book. They’ll also have Thoughts, capital T, as to why certain books didn’t work for them, which will also influence the books they pick up next.
Slytherins are probably the hardest to pin down, and I believe it’s because Slytherins don’t always describe their deepest thoughts straight away. They tend to keep their cards close, and like Ravenclaws, may not be too worried about giving up on a book that isn’t keeping their interest. When asked about their thoughts on a book, Slytherins can often sum them up concisely and without veering into a tangent. They may also be much pickier when it comes to choosing their next read–it has to be just right, or as close as possible, to what they feel like reading, or they’ll keep looking.
