In this Prof Responds finale on the Hogwarts houses, we wrestle with the lion’s legacy: is Gryffindor bravery actually just recklessness in disguise? From Harry’s headlong heroics to Neville’s considered courage, we explore how Gryffindors embody bravery differently—and why the house so often gets rewarded for dangerous choices. We also dig into Hogwarts itself: the adults who encourage risk, the point system that prizes peril, and Dumbledore’s constant appeals to the “greater good.” Finally, Peter Pettigrew becomes our cautionary tale of sorting too soon and valuing potential over reality. Together, these threads show Gryffindor courage as both luminous and perilous, a gamble for the greater good that doesn’t always pay off.
