The Sorting Hat Awaits!
Answer 5 magical questions and the Sorting Hat will reveal your Hogwarts house!
About the Harry Potter House Quiz for Kids
Our Harry Potter House Quiz for Kids is a specially designed sorting experience created for young witches and wizards aged 6 to 12. Unlike the full-length adult quiz with over 50 questions, this child-friendly version features just 5 simple, fun questions that kids can answer on their own. Each question uses familiar, everyday scenarios that children can easily relate to — like choosing a favorite animal, deciding how to help a friend, or picking a favorite school subject. The Sorting Hat examines each answer to discover which Hogwarts house matches your child's personality best.

Answer 5 Fun Questions

Discover Your House
After all five questions, the Sorting Hat announces which Hogwarts house suits you best — complete with a special message about what makes your house amazing!
