Hogwarts Houses + Four Elements

“It is the tradition to have four houses, but in this case, I wanted them to correspond roughly to the four elements. So Gryffindor is fire, Ravenclaw is air, Hufflepuff is earth, and Slytherin is water … it was this idea of harmony and balance, that you had four necessary components and by integrating them you would make a very strong place.” — J.K. Rowling
