'''Gryffindor''' is one of the four [[Hogwarts Houses|Houses]] of [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], founded by [[Godric Gryffindor]]. Its emblematic animal is the [[lion]], and its colours are [[Wikipedia:Scarlet (colour)|scarlet]] and [[Wikipedia:gold (colour)|gold]]. [[Minerva McGonagall]] is the most recent [[Head of House]]. Sir [[Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington]], also known as "Nearly Headless Nick" is the house ghost. The particular characteristics of students [[Sorting ceremony|Sorted]] into Gryffindor are courage and chivalry. |

| |

The [[Gryffindor Tower|Gryffindor Common Room]] is located in one of the castle's towers (Gryffindor Tower), the entrance to which is located on the seventh floor and is guarded by an oil painting of the [[Fat Lady]], who is garbed in a pink silk dress. She permits entry only after being given the correct (regularly changing) [[password]]. Behind her is a large common room, with a fireplace, and two staircases leading up to the girls' and boys' dormitories. There is a spell on the girls' staircase that prevents boys from using it, however there is no such enchantment on the staircase to the boys'dormitory, allowing girls to use it whenever they wish. The common room is very comfortable, and members of the Gryffindor house meet there for study groups, celebrations, or relaxation. The walls are lined with portraits, each one depicting a previous or current Head of Gryffindor. |

[[File:Wallofportraits.jpg|thumb|left|Gryffindor's founder, [[Godric Gryffindor]]]]The Gryffindor house emphasises the traits of courage as well as "daring, nerve, and chivalry," and thus its members are generally regarded as brave, though sometimes to the point of recklessness. Notably, Gryffindor house contributed many members to [[Dumbledore's Army]] and the [[Order of the Phoenix]]. According to [[Phineas Nigellus Black]], members of other houses, particularly [[Slytherin]], sometimes feel that Gryffindors engage in "pointless heroics." Another Slytherin, [[Severus Snape]], considered many Gryffindors to be self-righteous and arrogant, with no regard for rules. |

+ |
However, this may be taken with a grain of salt, as Gryffindors and Slytherins have shared a fierce house rivalry since their founders, [[Godric Gryffindor]] and [[Salazar Slytherin]], respectively, had a severe falling out over Slytherin's emphasis on [[blood purity]]. There might also be an element of feeling wronged;as Harry and his fellow Gryffindors tend to win in a lot of circumstances which, when viewed from a Slytherin's point of view, may be considered unfair. Examples of this include the last-minute points awarded by [[Albus Dumbledore|Headmaster Dumbledore]] at the Leaving Feast, which conveniently put Gryffindor ten points ahead of Slytherin in the [[1991–1992 school year]], the fact that no points were deducted for the rule breaking that happened during that night and Harry being permitted by [[Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] to have his own broomstick for the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]], even though first-years are not normally permitted their own broomsticks. |

[[File:Lion.jpg|thumb|right|135px|Gryffindor symbol.]] |
| |
+ |
Even members of other houses might have felt that Gryffindor received favouritism, considering that many saw Harry being chosen as the fourth competitor in the [[Triwizard Tournament]] as stealing [[Hufflepuff]] student [[Cedric Diggory]]'s thunder unfairly. |
| |

+ |
Overall, however, the houses of [[Ravenclaw]] and [[Hufflepuff]] tended to side with Gryffindor in its rivalry with [[Slytherin]]. This was particularly notable during the [[Second Wizarding War]] — the members of [[Dumbledore's Army]] were from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, but lacked any Slytherins (This may be because they were not notified of the Army's creation as it came through word of mouth and they did not seem to associate with many or any Slytherins), and during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], the Slytherin students left while many students from the other three houses remained behind to fight against [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]]. |

{{Quote|Before Harry could speak, there was a massive movement. The Gryffindors in front of him had risen and stood facing, not Harry, but the Slytherins. Then the Hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the Ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to Harry, all of them looking toward [[Pansy Parkinson|Pansy]] instead, and Harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves.|before the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows}} |

==Behind the scenes== |
| |
+ |
*J.K. Rowling was once asked in an interview into which House would she sort British politician and former Prime minister Gordon Brown, were she the [[Sorting Hat]]. She jokingly responded that she would sort him into Gryffindor, because of the red colours of his political party, which match the colours of Gryffindor. |
| |
+ |
*Rowling herself was sorted into Gryffindor House on ''[[Pottermore]]''.<ref name="rowlingsurprises">[http://movies.broadwayworld.com/article/JK-Rowling-Surprises-HARRY-POTTER-Fans-on-Live-Global-Webcast-20121012 "J. K. Rowling Surprises Harry Potter fans on Live Global Webacast"]</ref> |
| |
+ |
*Many members of the Gryffindor House seem to have a gift for [[Transfiguration]]; [[Albus Dumbledore]] and [[Minerva McGonagall]] were both Transfiguration [[professor]]s, while the latter was the Head of this House. There are four known [[Animagus|Animagi]] from Gryffindor house: [[James Potter I|James Potter]] (a stag), [[Sirius Black]] (a [[dog]]), [[Peter Pettigrew]] (a [[rat]]) and [[Minerva McGonagall]] (a [[cat]]). Gryffindor [[Hermione Granger]] was noted to be very talented in Transfiguration from her first class. James Potter's [[wand]] was also noted to be good for Transfiguration. |
| |
+ |
*[[Neville Longbottom]] was an exception to this 'rule', as [[Transfiguration (class)|Transfiguration]] was among his worst subjects ([[Herbology]] was his best). |
| |
+ |
*In the films, [[Padma Patil]], [[Parvati Patil]]'s twin sister, is seen as a Gryffindor, while in the books she is a [[Ravenclaw]]. |
| |
+ |
*Based on their portrait hanging in Gryffindor Tower, [[Valeria Myriadd]], [[Oracutus Spheer]], [[Damara Dodderidge]], [[Percival Pratt]] and several other unknown individuals may have been Gryffindors. |
| |
+ |
*[[Rubeus Hagrid]] stated in the first book that all the wizards who went bad were from Slytherin, however, the Gryffindor [[Peter Pettigrew]] disproved this. Hagrid, however, didn't know that Pettigrew was still alive and working for [[Voldemort]]. (It should also be noted that [[Quirinus Quirrell]], a [[Ravenclaw]], was working for Voldemort at the time, although Hagrid was unaware of that as well.) Another reason why this is odd is that, at the time, Sirius Black was believed to have gone bad (Hagrid's comments in the Three Broomsticks prove that he knew nothing of the truth in this instance), and he was also a Gryffindor. So Hagrid would have known of at least one Gryffindor who had 'gone bad'. He most likely did not mention this so that Harry did not try to find out more about his godfather, or it could have been 'Gryffindor propaganda', since Slytherin and Gryffindor are known rivals. |
| |
+ |
*In [[Pottermore]], [[Evanna Lynch]] was sorted into the Gryffindor house. <ref>http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/show/4659</ref> |
| |
+ |
*It should be noted that the colours and emblems of Gryffindor resemble the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_England Historical coat_of_arms_of_England]. Whether this was intentional on Rowling's part or not is unknown. |

==Etymology== |
| |
+ |
*Gryffindor could possibly be derived from [[griffin]], which is a creature in mythology with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. |
| |
+ |
*In Old English and Old High German ''dor'' means gate or door. |
| |
+ |
*In French "d'or" means "of gold," one of the Gryffindor House colours, though it can also come from the Greek word "dora" meaning "gift". |
| |
+ |
*A combination can be assumed; "Golden Gift of the Lion". |
| |
+ |
*"Griffe" is the French word for "claw", which could refer to the claw of the lion. |
| |
+ |
*"Gryffindor" could very well be explained by [[wikipedia:Heraldry|heraldry]]: "Gryffin" would then stand for the griffin beast, and the "[d]or" would refer to the metal [[wikipedia:Tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] "[d'] or" ([[wikipedia:Middle English|Middle English]] for "[of] gold", derived from French; corresponds to yellow). |
| |
+ |
*Gryffindor is also a pun on the golden gryffin, which is a lion that only has eagle wings, so it has the head and front paws of a lion, and has golden fur and feathers. Even the French for Griffindor, Griffondor is a French homophone for the actual beast, Griffon d'Or. |
