You might belong in Gryffindor , 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 ; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw , 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 truest friends , Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their favored ends .
