Make Hogwarts House Badges - Harry Potter Accessories

The four houses of Hogwarts are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. They are named after the four founding witches and wizards - Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff.

Professor McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor house, which is the house the Sorting Hat selects for Harry Potter and his new friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger when they first arrive at Hogwarts. Nearly Headless Nick is the house ghost. The colours of Gryffindor are red and gold, and it is symbolised by a lion.

Professor Snape is the head of Slytherin house, which has Harry's nemesis, Draco Malfoy, as a member. Lord Voldemort was also a member of Slytherin when he attended Hogwarts as Tom Riddle. The Bloody Baron is the house ghost. Slytherin colours are dark green and silver, and it is symbolised by a snake.
