Which Hogwarts House should Jedi belong to?

I love Harry Potter, and as I'm rereading and watching it now, I was wondering where Jedi should belong to. I have an account on Pottermore, and it sorted me into Hufflepuff. I knew I that would be the right house for me, as for me the most important traits are hard-working, loyalty, kindness and open-mindedness. However, I also love reading and learning new materials - that's why many quizes put me into Rawenclaw instead. There was even one which put me into Griffindor, but I don't consider myself a brave one.
I'm sure in one thing: no Jedi should be in Slytherin - it's true that is the place for ambitious people, which isn't that bad, but most of times this ambition is accompanied by unhealthy pushiness and only caring with our own needs, which should be avoided by all Jedi.
And I'd like to know your thoughts about this topic. Where do you think you would belong to? Or do you think one of the houses is specific for us?

Jedi are certainly not exempt from Slytherin ... :huh:

Remember, in the Harry Potter saga, the headmaster of Slytherin was one of the ultimate 'heroes' of the grand adventure.

Furthermore, do not forget that 'human-heartedness' (not to be confused with humaneness), or our "irreducible rascality", is the highest of virtues. In other words, someone who gets so bloody moral that s/he begins to reek of Jedi would probably be a very questionable instrument of peace ...



... besides, we don't want to smell like that.

Oh yes, I forgot about him...
So yes, we must agree on the point that there are people in Slitherin who don't have such selfish motives... But still, every time I think about Slytherin, I relate it to evilness...because most Death Eaters came from this house...and Voldemort himself... well, that's a prejudice from my part... That must be the reason why it just wouldn't seem 'right' for me.
Anyway, could you please desribe that "irreducible rascality" in more detail, I just can't seem to catch its meaning... :huh:

I think Jedi could be part of any house... the nerve and chivalrous nature of Gryffindor, the loyalty, hard work and patience of Hufflepuff, the intelligence and knowledge of Ravenclaw, and yes even the resourcefulness of Slytherin.

Defining one's abilities or outlook in too fixed a manner leads to inflexibility, and that means you can never respond authentically to what's happening rather than playing out some pre-conceived script of who we are or what we can (and can't) do. For example, sometimes a bit of persuasion and cunning go a long way towards achieving a positive, harmonious goal; if you rule out Slytherin, those two are off the table.

Double post. Oops.

So to make use of it, here's a link to Alexandre's sermon on our "irreducible rascality": http://www.templeofthejediorder.org/sermons/2060-our-irreducible-rascality-human-hearted-ness

Yes, now I must seem to be an unflexible, narrow-minded, rigid individual. So please, let me explain why I reached that conclusion:

The four Hogwarts Houses, explained one-by-one (I put them into spoiler-places to make it better arranged) :

1) Gryffindor:



2) Ravenclaw



3) Hufflepuff



4) Slytherin



And thank you for the sermon-link!

I guess Slytherin are the pragmatists
"the ends justifies the means" in a sort

Aw, cheats, you've got to think of it like - "if you had to pick a Jedi house, which would it be?" :evil:

As a kid, I always wanted to be a Gryffindor. As an adult and a Jedi, the Hufflepuff values are the ones that I most like to see in the world around me. I'd rather be surrounded by loyal, hard-working and humble people than be in a community of brave, cunning or intelligent people. And although I make that sound like personal preference, that also fits with what I believe the Jedi path to be about.

Whilst the others do not necessarily exclude the notion, the Hufflepuff values are the ones that most implicitly stress the importance of putting others before yourself.

So, Hufflepuff.

As a Ravenclaw with very, very heavy Slytherin tendencies (rather than gaining knowledge in order to acquire power, I have a tendency to gain power in order to acquire knowledge), I think that Jedi can fit anywhere. Even if you take to the fiction, you see a lot of variation in personality style and type that would get them sorted differently. I think the stereotypical film Jedi is mostly Gryffindor, but then again I think that, with precious little exception (like Sherlock Holmes and The Dude), all protagonists are mostly Gryffindor for reasons of keeping the story moving.

OK well I don't want to be a spoil sport so I pick Ravenclaw. I'm academically-minded, logical and whilst I have a limited share myself, I value wit and wisdom above most other traits. I also love eagles (and ravens), so... loyalty and humility are also important to me, so I guess Hufflepuff would be my second choice. I definitely don't fit Slytherin or Gryffindor.

For a really good Potter-esque (although rather more "mature" in content) novel about a magical university, where the protagonist is very much not the typical Gryffindor type, allow me to recommend The Magicians by Lev Grossman. Bloody love that book.
