harry cheated though

there are only four houses, it's a decent chance; IIRC the sorting hat considered sending harry to slytherin, which is the bad people house, and hermione to hufflepuff or ravenclaw

the hat asks you where tou want to be, plus he is biased.

The whole idea was that the sorting hat put them into that house because it's a magic hat and had the foresight to know that all three would be vital to saving the school over and over for the next 7 years.

Hermione belonged in RavenClaw
Half of Harry belonged in Slytherin
Ron belonged in Hufflepuff

Harry was a true Gryffindor though and that's why he could pull the sword from the hat in like book 2

harry only does good shit though

i dont get why people consider him possibly a slytherin

What were the odds of anything in the series happening?

Oh go on Harry you're the youngest seeker in a century!

The actual quote from the book:
>"‘So I should be in Slytherin,’ Harry said, looking desperately into Dumbledore’s face. ‘The Sorting Hat could see Slytherin’s power in me, and it –’

>‘Put you in Gryffindor,’ said Dumbledore calmly. ‘Listen to me, Harry. You happen to have many qualities Salazar Slytherin prized in his hand-picked students. His own very rare gift, Parseltongue ... resourcefulness ... determination ... a certain disregard for rules,’ he added, his moustache quivering again. ‘Yet the Sorting Hat placed you in Gryffindor. You know why that was. Think.’

>‘It only put me in Gryffindor,’ said Harry in a defeated voice, ‘because I asked not to go in Slytherin ...’

>‘Exactly,’ said Dumbledore, beaming once more. ‘Which makes you very different from Tom Riddle. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.’ Harry sat motionless in his chair, stunned. ‘If you want proof, Harry, that you belong in Gryffindor, I suggest you look more closely at this.’

>Dumbledore reached across to Professor McGonagall’s desk, picked up the blood-stained silver sword and handed it to Harry.

>Dully, Harry turned it over, the rubies blazing in the firelight. And then he saw the name engraved just below the hilt.

>Godric Gryffindor.

>‘Only a true Gryffindor could have pulled that out of the Hat, Harry,’ said Dumbledore simply."

Basically because harry has the power of slytherine and voldemort, but instead chose to be good.

the hat says so
aksi slytherins are not evil. just racist

1/16th.

Why seek logic from the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip?
Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Becauae he was a horcrux. The sorting hat could sense the bit of voldemorts soul inside of him.

Addendum: you have to consider that Ron already told Harry that all the bad wizards go to Slytherin, so there was already a high probability that Harry would end up in a non-Slytherin house, so it's more like 1/12th.

>Not Trump
>Not Trump
>Not Trump

Literally 100%

"DAVID DUKE!"

He constantly breaks the rules and dabs on teachers, headmasters and the whole ministry of magic, dabbles in black magic, always seeks a shortcut and often goes by his luck and cunning rather than courage or skill.

4 houses, 3 students.
3/12

liberal propaganda that brainwashed an entire generation

The sorting hat isnt random
so

>rather than courage
nigga almost every fucking thing he does is courageous, stupid and luck-reliant but courageous nonetheless.

Oh my GOD, NO, YOU IDIOT.
There's a 1/1 chance Harry ends up in an arbitrary house.
Next, given that Harry didn't end up in Gryffindor and Ron didn't want to either, there's a 1/3 chance Ron ends up in the same house.
Finally, given that Hermione didn't make any comment about Slytherin, there's a 1/4 chance she'd end up in the same house as Harry and Ron. (1/3)*(1/4) is 1/12. Learn2combinatorics.

*given that Harry didn't end up in Slytherin

The storting hat is just a RNG that also makes up a bunch of nonsense so you like whatever house you're put in, but if one specifically asks to be put in a certain house during the sorrting process then it will oblige.
So, the odds were 1/64 if it was a simple RNG.

Even if it didn't take the student's preference into account, if it were an RNG, the chances would be 1/16 because the first kid has a 1/1 chance of being placed in *some* house. The answer would be 1/64 if you asked the probability of them all being in Gryffindor.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

Is that not what the OP's question is?
No shit the probability at that point that they would be place in any house was 100%. That goes without saying.

I HATE YOU

OP asked what the probability would be of them all being placed in the *same* house, not a specific house like Gryffindor.

Ah yeah, my mistake. It would be 1/16 if the first variable is held constant.

Was Harry the type of guy Rowling wanted to be railed from?

Astronomical. Harry was a Slytherin. Hermione was a Ravenclaw. And no house wanted Ron, but he ended up in the same house they put all the Burrow-trash = Gryffindor.

>three would be vital to saving the school over and over for the next 7 years
So when the hat landed on Voldemort's head decades earlier, why didn't it scream "ABORT THIS MOTHERFUCKER" instantly?

always made me laugh how Rowling wrote it so the do-gooder nice guys were in Gryffindor and the ambitious chads were in Slytherin, but made the nice guys all hot and the Slytherins ugly

Because right to life wizards were in control of the ministry and abortion was illegal, especially in such a late trimester

Pretty likely, since they shared the characteristics of House Gryffindor. It wasnt random chance. Rowling is a hack.

what was the Sorting Hat's tax policy?

It's actually about a 6% chance of happening.

i wish harry potter didn't exist

so do all who live through such times

>Ron belonged in Hufflepuff
God I fucking hate movie-only fans. Ron is a clear gryffindor in every way.

It sorts according to what house is best for the student, not deciding what's best for the greater picture. If it knows 3 kids will be best suited being in the same house together, and save the school in doing so, GRYFFINDOR it is. Is the student is just plain evil and want to one day rule through fear and power, then by Merlin's beard into SLYTHERIN he goes.

25% chance to end up in griffindor, 3 times 25 = 75%

We had a house system at school and literally all my friends were in different house. I feel like that is the true experience.

We literally had some point system too, but no one cared because it's not like we got anything good for winning and the teachers never remembered to hand out points.
