Shawn Mendes Sorts Himself Into Harry Potter's Gryffindor House
Would the Sorting Hat agree?
By De Elizabeth
Shawn Mendes is truly on a roll lately. His new album, Illuminate, dropped a few weeks ago, and he's been breaking hearts with those new tracks ever since. And then there was that photo shoot last week – you know which one we're talking about.
According to Shawn, his recent successes are due to his willingness to take risks. In an interview with Tyler Oakley, Shawn explained, "People are always like, I've gotta wait until I'm ready…but you're never gonna do anything if you wait until you're ready." Tyler said that those words should be on a fortune cookie – and we agree!
Shawn sat down with Tyler to chat about fame, his fans, and Harry Potter. Together, they called one lucky fan named Hayden to give her tickets to Shawn's next tour – and her reaction is priceless. Shawn and Tyler also played the "BeanBoozled Taste Test," where they ate and ranked gross flavors of jelly beans such as earwax, earthworm, dirt, sausage, and soap. (This is a real game, BTW. And it's just as gross – and hilarious – as it looks.)
But perhaps the greatest part of the video is when Shawn revealed which Harry Potter house he'd belong to. Shawn thinks he's definitely a Gryffindor, whereas Tyler is more of a combination of Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Don't think those houses go together? There's a first time for everything.
