Choosing Your Hogwarts House as a Parent
If Hogwarts ran a parenting class, I’d have signed up immediately—preferably before I was knee-deep in nappies and explaining why I was shouting “Riddikulus” at my human child hoping I would defeat the boggart!
This is Wands, Wookie’s & Wipeout’s, a Thursday window into parenting through the lens of fandom—because if we’re honest, most days feel like a crossover episode between Star Wars and Bluey.
🏠What House Are You?
– Gryffinnaut: Bold and big-hearted, you charge in when needed—whether to rescue a biscuit or stop a tantrum mid-nappy change before tea time.
– Slythernaut: Tactician of bedtime battles. If there’s a shortcut, you’ve found it. If there’s a hidden snack stash, it’s yours.
– Hufflenaut: Gentle, dependable, emotional load-bearer. Your hugs are legendary. So are your sleep-deprived pep talks.
– Ravennaut: The planner. The researcher. You’ve got Google Docs for your kid’s toothbrushing strategy.
🧪 My Sorting Moment
I caught myself eating snacks from my newly acquired Dad’s snack tin when everyone else was in bed. Classic Slythernaut. But then I belted out “Accio Pyjamas!” while prepping a bottle and beginning our bed time routine. Bit of Gryffinnaut there too.
My partner is the Hufflenaut for her gentle and dependable nature but dabbles in Ravennaut with her meal prep and laundry schedules!
Turns out, we’re hybrid houses.
🎯 Magic Tip for Each:
– Ravennaut: Try time-blocking your day with rest built in.
– Hufflenaut: Create emotional check-ins at bedtime.
– Slythernaut: Limit chaos by offering two options, not ten.
– Gryffinnaut: Channel your energy into a daily adventure—real or pretend.
🦉 Final Words:
You’re not the same parent every day—and that’s okay. Whether you’re casting spells or just winging it with a smile, there’s room for all kinds of magic in a family.
