Which female HP charater are you? (Only for girls)

For the fun of it I went looking for quizzes, and I thought it would be fun to see which female character you would be.

I took this quiz and I am ...

My Result: Hermione Granger
on quiz: Which (Female) Harry Potter Character Are You?


You are intelligent, clever, and hardworking. You like to stand up for what you believe in, and you're opinionated, smart nature makes you seem like a bit of a know-it-all. But who you truly are is far beyond your diehard love for books and learning. You are steadfast in friendships, and brave when you need to be. In High School, you would fall into the stereotype of Braniac. Gryffindor House.

So who does the test say you are you?

Emma Watson's own new line of clothing

This new collection is 100% fair trade-certified cotton!


The new collection will officially launch on February 28th. “I designed the collection last year after I’d started university in the US. Safia, People Tree’s founder, and Misato, People Tree’s designer, came out to work with me in Rhode Island,” Emma shared.

Together we decided on all the colours, fabrics, shapes and craft skills. Most of all, we took care to design a really wearable collection that truly celebrates the traditional skills of People Tree’s Fair Trade groups around the world.

To which House do you belong?

Ever wonder which house you would be in? I have taken many tests before and I am always either in Hufflepuff, Griffindor or Ravenclaw, but never Slytherin. Hufflepuff is normally the one I get.

I find this test the best:

Sorting Hat

And I am in....


So what does the test say about you?
