Backdated to spare flists, but for the sake of completeness, the essay I wrote for Hogsmeade at
hogwarts_elite in response to:
We're all in hogwarts_elite so we must agree to some extent with the separation of people into 4 discrete houses. But do you fully support the way JKR did it - splitting prepubescent students based on the qualities they value/will soon value: wisdom, bravery, ambition, hard work? Do you think this is the best way? Discuss. If you disagree, write an essay detailing how you would split the students differently, giving your reasons.
