0:00.0 | What if Ron was in Hufflepuff? |
0:03.0 | Hey brother! |
0:05.0 | One of the most common and pretty fun Harry Potter theories out there |
0:08.2 | is that the Golden Trio, Harry, Ron, and Raiminey, |
0:10.8 | sorted into Gryphondor actually each represent the other three houses. |
0:15.7 | Harry is Slytherin, the house he was so nearly sorted into. |
0:19.3 | Hermione, the cleverest witch of her age represents Ravenclaw, |
0:22.8 | and Ron, the ever loyal best friend represents Hufflepuff. |
0:26.8 | Now, we've explored the question, what if Harry was in Slytherin, |
0:30.0 | and ever since then one of the most requested what what ifs we've had is, what if Ron was in Hufflepuff? |
0:36.6 | The tricky part about answering this is that, as Ron is so keenly aware, he is not the main character. |

1:04.8 | So when we approached Harry and Slytherin, what if? |
1:07.3 | What we had to ask was, what would cause Harry not to ask the hat to sort him otherwise. |
1:13.4 | And believe it or not, the answer was whether he ran into Malfoy in Madam Malkin's |
1:18.4 | shop in Diagon Alley, who first began to spoil Sltherin's reputation. |
1:22.8 | At the end of the day, this was relatively easy to modify, |
1:25.8 | because it's not a massive reach to suggest that Harry and |
1:29.0 | Draco simply arrived at the shop at different times. |
