Livre d'Or

Interesting.
I overthought it a bit - I thought "Well, obviously the one about being excited to find out is Ravenclaw, and I'd like to pick that one, but I think #1 is more accurate."

Thinking about me at 11, I would have identified more with Gryffindor because I was very keen on bravery and heroism and tended to latch on to the bravest characters in fiction and real life. I probably would have thought "I hope I'll get Gryffindor, but I fear I might not." I guess that's a closer match to #2 than to any of the other options?

I was clever/academic/Ravenclawish then, but didn't see that as part of my identity, partly because I'd absorbed the message from peers that it was something a bit shameful, and partly because it didn't occur to me to see it as a component of identity until I found a tribe like that to be part of (a bit like a gay person growing up thinking they were the only one and later discovering the gay community, if that's not too appropriative an analogy).

I don't fully get why #2 is Gryffindor except in as much as it reflects Harry himself, but I don't think it reflects Gryffindors in general.
