Players can pick which of the four Hogwarts houses they are sorted into, and this affects their playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy. Surprisingly, Slytherin has risen to the top to become the most popular house. Despite being associated with Dark Magic, Slytherin house has managed to strike a chord with fans.
Although fans have always seen Slytherin as second-best to Gryffindor, it's still an impressive house. Hogwarts Legacy demonstrates that Slytherin students aren't as nefarious as Harry Potter had portrayed them. In fact, Slytherin is the most popular Hogwarts Legacy house.
Gryffindor's often thought of as the best house, as it's the focus of Harry's time at Hogwarts. Hufflepuff is stereotyped as a house for pushovers and Ravenclaw for bookworms.
Slytherins are hardworking and desire success. They are known to achieve great things (even if not always good things). They are the kind of people who make you want to be better just by being around them. They are determined and resourceful.
Slytherin is also the best house due to their house quality: ambition. With this trait, Slytherin people make sure that they stay alive unlike their counterparts in Gryffindor. Gryffindor's characteristic is bravery. Bravery might not seem terrible, but it is possible to be too brave (which countless Gryffindors are).
Hufflepuffs. Hufflepuffs are the opposite of Slytherins because they are eager to build a consensus that everyone can live with.
Hufflepuffs are the only ones patient enough to really get to know someone without any judgment. Since Slytherins are often on edge, they truly appreciate the safe space that Hufflepuffs create. They ground Slytherins and keep their heads in the right place.
But most people who prefer Slytherin do so because they prize Slytherin values - cunning, ambition, the desire for greatness, resourcefulness, determination - the way you prize Hufflepuff values, and because they see Slytherin as a House defined more by its Pottermore Welcome Letter than its canonical portrayal.
Each house has a set of traits and characteristics associated with it, and those in Slytherin are known for being ambitious, cunning, and resourceful. Slytherins are also sometimes regarded as being evil thanks to the fact that many of the most sinister witches and wizards have been associated with this house.
Although there are strengths to every house, Hufflepuff house in particular often comes up short. While the other houses seem cool and invite a certain allure, Hufflepuff is a little different. Often considered the least desirable of all the sorting options, here are some reasons why Hufflepuff house is the worst.
1. Gryffindor – Brave and competitive. 2. Ravenclaw – Smart and clever.
Hufflepuff House prides itself on being “the friendliest, most decent and most tenacious house of them all.” These wizards and witches aren't afraid to put in a little work to get the job done, and above all, they're extremely loyal.
After a fellow Slytherin, the next best match for this shrewd house would probably be Ravenclaw. A Slytherin could use Ravenclaw's intellectual and inquisitive nature to their advantage, plan their world domination in minute detail.
Then there's Slytherin. RELATED: Things Hogwarts Legacy Players Might Have Missed In Slytherin's Common RoomFounded by Salazar Slytherin, this particularly snakey house has a very bad reputation throughout Harry Potter. It's even been considered the evil house.
Hufflepuff values kindness and hard work, Gryffindor values bravery and boldness, Slytherin values ambition and cunning, and Ravenclaw values wit and wisdom. So it's no big surprise that Ravenclaw house has the reputation of being the smartest house in the world of Harry Potter.
Harry Potter came very close to being sorted into Slytherin before he persuaded the Hat to sort him into Gryffindor. Yet the spectre of Slytherin haunted him for some time afterwards, becoming particularly potent in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, when he was rumoured to be the heir of Slytherin.
Slytherins are even widely known as unapologetic liars, with their sneaky outer image matches their true inner sneakiness. Slytherins often allow others to take the fall for their own wrongdoings (looking at you, Riddle), which rings true as a highly negative trait.
Those who belong to Slytherin are well known for their skills of self-preservation and using cunning techniques to get exactly what they want.

There might be discord in the relationship, but Slytherins and Hufflepuffs bring out the best in each other more often than not. Though Slytherins tend to be shrewd, they don't direct this Machiavellian behavior at their Hufflepuff companions and see themselves as one-half of an equal partnership above all else.
Slytherin: 18,1% Gryffindor: 15,7% Ravenclaw: 11,9% Hufflepuff: 6,7%
Poor Harry certainly had his fair share of it over the years, and no one inspired more survivor's guilt in him than Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory. We pose that Cedric's death is the main reason Harry never wanted to visit Hufflepuff.
They're good at recognising when someone excels, and will push you to keep excelling. While not always warm and cuddly, Slytherins could in fact be your biggest cheerleaders when it comes to achieving your goals. Loved those of great ambition.
At the core, Harry's reasons for not wanting to be in Slytherin were due to all the negative stories he had heard from Ron (his to-be best friend) and Hagrid (his first wizard friend). Besides, he had also had a distasteful first encounter with Draco (a Slytherin hopeful).
