Chestnut Hill recently hosted is annual Harry Potter Festival, and we met some magical characters there.

Hogwarts' finest students, quidditch stars and villans filled the streets of Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia this October for the annual Harry Potter Festival. Representing the house the Sorting Hat chose for them, we chatted with 10 of our favorite Potter fanatics.


Grace, 26

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? I'll be honest with you. I'm a super fan. I love all four houses, but my favorite character is Slytherin. That's Lord Voldemort. So I was sorted into Gryffindor. I love Harry. I think Hufflepuff had the right idea letting everyone into the school, and everyone thinks I'm in Ravenclaw because I over-assess things like crazy. So yeah, all four.
Which character would be your roommate? Ginny Weasley. She'd be kind of fun because she tells people off and she's your buddy and she's cool and chill. I think Ginny would be a lot of fun to room with.
What is your patronis? I always really loved cats. So I'm going say a cat, some sort of fluffy one, or a tiger -- a bad-ass cat.
Who's your favorite Weasley? Oh, it's a battle right now [among] Fred, George and Ginny because they hang out together. And there are all these references that Ginny has a sense of humor because she hangs out with them so much. And since I'm already rooming with her apparently, I'm just going to be buddies with all of them. And she's a big fan of Tom Riddle, too, anyway.


Bealltrix, 40

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Any of the the Hogwarts house. They're all just so yummy to kill. They add a little spark.
Which character would be your roommate? Probably Hermione because I really, really love torturing her.
What is your patronis? My patronis, if I had one, is probably a lot like the Death Mark.
Who's your favorite Weasley? Definitely twins. Doesn't everybody like them in two?


Ben, 20

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Ravenclaw!
Which character would be your roommate? I'd say Neville. I think he would respect my space.
What is your patronis? A dolphin. He's playful, intelligent and a little bit of fun.
Who's your favorite Weasley? Oh, I'd say Bill. He's the one with dragons and the scars and everything.


Jordan, 25

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Gryffindor.
Which character would be your roommate? Ron.
What is your patronis? I don't know. [Laughs.]
Who's your favorite Weasley? Ron because he just wants to be more, but he can never be what he wants to be.


Christina, 24

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Slytherin.
Which character would be your roommate? I have no idea.
What is your patronis? My patronis would be a penguin.
Who's your favorite Weasley? It's definitely Ron.


Chris, 21

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Gryffindor!
Which character would be your roommate? It's a tough question, but I'm a Ron Weasley fan. I like Ron. We have similar personalities.
What is your patronis? I'm feeling a sea otters.
Who's your favorite Weasley? Fred and George!


Peachy, 31

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? I don't know. Harry Potter is interesting because in the beginning everyone is for Gryffindor and then everyone's pretty even including Slytherin. I think I wouldn't mind being in either Slytherin or Gryffindor.
Which character would be your roommate? Maybe Hagrid because I love animals, and he has so many pets. That would be pretty interesting and fun.
What is your patronis? I think I would go for a doe like Snape and Harry's mom.
Who's your favorite Weasley? I think Ginny.


Sally, 23

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Ravenclaw.
Which character would be your roommate? I'm going to say Luna Lovegood.
What is your patronis? I've been told it would be a fluffy white cat.
Who's your favorite Weasley? Ginny.


Chris, 21

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? Well Pottermore, says I'm Gryffindor, and I have identified with Gryffindor. So that would be my house.
Which character would be your roommate? See, that's a harder question for me because I can't really pick any of the people. So I'm going to go with just the person I have as a roommate currently because I would hope we both would be in Gryffindor.
What is your patronis? I'd want it to be monkey.
Who's your favorite Weasley? I'd say Bill. 


Mary Kate, 25

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? I would either be in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, and definitely not Slytherin. I'm not a Slytherin.
Which character would be your roommate? I wouldn't want Hermione because it wouldn't be any fun, but I'd learn a lot. I'd learn so much if I was her roommate. I feel like Harry would get me in so much trouble. So that wouldn't be good. Probably Ron would be a lot of fun, and his brothers, too. I feel like the debauchery would be there.
What is your patronis? A cat or a bunny. They're my favorite. They're just so cute and cuddly. I can't handle it.
Who's your favorite Weasley? The brothers. They would just be a lot fun, and my boyfriend's a ginger so it just goes in line with that. 


Alana, 20

What house would you live in at Hogwarts? I'm in Hufflepuff.
Which character would be your roommate? There aren't many Hufflepuff girls mentioned in the books, but I'd like to choose my roommate who I currently have, who would also be in Hufflepuff.
What is your patronis? I have thought about it, but I think it would be some form of a cat or possibly a fish.
Who's your favorite Weasley? Ginny by far.
