 Foundation of Hogwarts
At some point in the tenth century, four of the greatest witches and wizards that
ever lived founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their names
were Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar
Slytherin. As The Sorting Hat told us, their reason for doing so was because they
had the ‘selfsame yearning, to make the world’s best magic school’, and once they
did, each created their own house to represent a personality and skill that they
wanted to nurture. Gryffindor students embodied bravery and chivalry;
Ravenclaw, intelligence and wit; Hufflepuff, loyalty and fair play; and Slytherin,
the values of being sly and cunning.

Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry,
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil;

If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
These cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.”
