Hogwarts Houses are four distinct groups at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, each representing different values and traits. The houses are Gryffindor, known for bravery; Hufflepuff, celebrated for loyalty and hard work; Ravenclaw, which values intelligence and creativity; and Slytherin, recognized for ambition and cunning. Students are sorted into houses upon their arrival at Hogwarts, influencing their friendships and experiences. Each house has its own common room and dormitories, fostering a sense of community among members. House points are awarded for good behavior and achievements, while points can be deducted for rule-breaking. At the end of the school year, the house with the most points wins the coveted House Cup.
