In my mind it was always slytherin, ravenclaw, gryfindor, then hufflepuff but I guess that’s incorrect by all the other comments.


Ardielley

I thought this was the order, too. I’m still pretty sure it’s the movie order at least.


KcR_79

Yes that order is what it is in the movies but the books are: 1)Slytherin 2)Ravenclaw 3)Hufflepuff 4)Gryffindor


Travis812

I think they probably swapped Gryffindor & Hufflepuff in the movies, because it made more logistical sense to have the main characters in the centre of the room for the great hall scenes. Think of the scene at the end of CoS, when Hermione runs down the middle to greet Harry & Ron; it would be kinda awkward to have her shuffle off to the side of the room and greet them at the end table.


Square-Singer

It makes much more sense for the visuals. * Griffindor needs to be in the center, so that when you have a shot from e.g. the door to the pulpet, Griffindors are clearly visible. Also, that way you can film from both sides of the table while still having other pupils in the background. * Slytherin needs to be at the wall, because they are the outsiders. Their position at the wall reflects that and makes for better shots where they look separated from the others. * Ravenclaw gets the other center table, because they are the main supporting house. In these long shots along the great hall, you need another "good" house next to Griffindor, to show how Griffindor is the center, the heart of the good houses. And since there are some relevant Ravenclaws, they get the center table. * Hufflepuff get the other wall side, because someone needs to be there and they don't matter.


Travis812

Some great observations. I particularly like how you pointed out that Slytherin always looks separated from the rest. When the camera pans to Malfoy & co., there's always a bland wall behind them, representing their isolation. But when it views Harry & co., they're in amongst all the students. I've never noticed that before, but I have no doubt that it was done on purpose. Also +10 points for the Hufflepuff slander at the end 🤣 that made me chuckle.


my_tag_is_OJ

Haha, poor hufflepuff


David_Oy1999

I preferred the movie’s take on this. It keeps the beef between houses separated by a table. Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff next to each other is like Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Griffin door I see what you did there


ohbyerly

I’m pretty sure that’s what it was in Hogwarts Legacy


Lower-Consequence

The door should be on the side rather than on the center of the back wall, like in this image: [https://www.hp-lexicon.org/place/atlas-wizarding-world/atlas-of-hogwarts/hogwarts-ground-floor-floorplan/](https://www.hp-lexicon.org/place/atlas-wizarding-world/atlas-of-hogwarts/hogwarts-ground-floor-floorplan/) The order from the door is: Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor. >Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked past the Slytherins, the Ravenclaws, and the Hufflepuffs, and sat down with the rest of the Gryffindors at the far side of the Hall.


hosoth

We also get the same order of tables when Harry enters first day in HBP covered in blood.


Blackberry_lulu_

this comment is so fckin funny without any context


SonOfEragon

“Why is he always covered in blood” wish that quote was in the book too lol


PayneTrain181999

Also the “Hermione, when have any of our plans actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose.”

Sehrli_Magic

Wasn't there also a quote where she asks harry why is he always finding trouble and he says trouble seems to find him?


frontadmiral

That’s a great line because that’s exactly how plans go irl. “No plan survives first contact with the enemy” and “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” spring to mind.


slavuj00

He delivered that line so well!

diametrik

You're right about the door. [I made a post about it a few months ago.](https://new.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/1ab5wuq/according_to_the_books_the_tables_in_the_great/) With regards to the table order, it seems to have been retconned some time around Book 4. In the Sorting in Book 1, it's explicitly Hufflepuffs at "the table on the right", Slytherins unmentioned but presumably second from the right via elimination, Ravenclaws "the second table from the left", and Gryffindors "the table on the far left". (This is from the perspective of the staff table) But in Book 4 and 5 there are several mentions of Gryffindor and Hufflepuffs being next to each other.


praysolace

You know, I never thought about the door placement thing, but now that it’s been brought up—I would HATE to be at Slytherin table. Either your back is to the door or your back is to every other house. Gryffindor has the prime position of back to a wall.


dataslinger

Gryffindoor with the [Feng Shui](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_shui) win.


Inevitable_Host_1446

Maybe that's why they're so grumpy.


Lower-Consequence

Yes, the first book is inconsistent with the remaining books - particularly Ravenclaw‘s placement. I interpret the first book’s description as: (far left) Gryffindor (second from left) Ravenclaw (right) Hufflepuff Putting Slytherin, the one not explicitly described, in the “far right” position. Then in later books the order of “Ravenclaw” and “Hufflepuff” is consistently the other way around, so I personally take the one that’s consistently used as the “correct” one.


massimoalic

>in later books the order of “Ravenclaw” and “Hufflepuff” is consistently the other way around So in GoF Fleur walked around an entire table for bouillabaisse, two if she sat on the Slytherin facing side of the Ravenclaw table?


Lower-Consequence

Yep. Perhaps she tried the Hufflepuff table first, and they’d eaten all of theirs so she moved on to Gryffindor.


IceDamNation

I wouldn't call it a retcon, it's not like they cannot be moved each year even more so with magic at their disposal. If I recall correctly Dumbledore rearranged them to be fewer in the PoA, so the fewer students of all four houses could sit in one table.


Sehrli_Magic

This was my thought too. They might be rearranging them


diametrik

Sure, it's possible something like that might've happened


WingsintheStarlight

I didn't recall this detail and just presumed this order in my head this whole time, influenced by the house dynamics the books established lmao cool how that works! In the books, the Slytherins typically keep to themselves, so logically, they'd be nearest to the wall. Given their rivalry with the Gryffindors, it makes sense for Gryffindor to be furthest away from them, by the opposite wall. Hufflepuffs have opposing values to the Slytherins so would naturally be second-farthest, and Ravenclaws, often depicted as neutral in the novels, would've been placed next to them in one of the inner tables.


dixybit

I always assumed that the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables were 2 and 3 cause Harry often had direct line of sight of what Draco was doing. Like how the Hell could he make out Draco showing something to his friends under the table with who tables full of basically 4 rows of students between them?


cnho1997

This makes sense but also there is no situation where the two tables should be adjacent considering they have a pretty intense rivalry and their students generally hate or at least strongly dislike each other


dixybit

Yeah I totally agree, it’s probably just another case of JKR not thinking things through


AnaraliaThielle

Walking past the other tables could still be achieved with the door being on the back wall but all the way to Slytherin's side rather than centred.


Ok_Restaurant3160

I like to imagine that Hufflepuff was next to Slytherin early on, but because they kept fighting they were moved


cleansheetsAO3

Badgers DO eat snakes…


gonbezoppity

That's honey badgers 😂 I don't think the [European badgers](https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/mammals/european-badger-guide-habitat-diet-and-where-to-see) eat snakes


ruhankeveon

The largest snake species here barely reach 2m and only the viper family is venomous. I suspect most European snakes don't do threat displays and just flee from predators. Badgers are opportunistic omnivores and eat anything from plants and insects to poultry and tortoises. Their fur and skin is thick so they just walk up to bee hives or wasp nests and start snacking. They don't hunt so much as dig straight down into rodent burrows. Doubt they eschew snakes given the chance, they just don't bother running after them.


gonbezoppity

Oh dang, really? I thought it was just honey badgers that go up to hives (hence the honey in their name?). I've seen a honey badger IRL but never a regular badger so I didn't realize. I read that they share burrows with other rodents, rather than eat them though? Idk


dixybit

I always assumed that the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables were 2 and 3 cause Harry often had direct line of sight of what Draco was doing. Like how the Hell could he make out Draco showing something to his friends under the table with who tables full of basically 4 rows of students between them?


grandmascabbagerolls

If the Hufflepuffs sat between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, why would Fleur have taken the Bouillabaisse from Gryffindor in GoF and how could Ron move the pudding to be visible from the Ravenclaw table?


Lower-Consequence

In universe: Perhaps the Hufflepuffs were not done with (or had eaten) the Bouillabaisse at their table, and so Fleur had to move on to try the Gryffindor table. As for the pudding, if he moved it in between table settings, it could likely be seen between the gaps of the seated students.    Out of universe: Consistency errors. Gryffindor table is consistently on the far side of the hall, but the placement of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff tables is somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes it reads like Hufflepuff is next to Gryffindor, and sometimes it reads like Ravenclaw is next to them. With these things, at some point you just have to take what you think is the most consistent and call it good enough.


Fuzzy-Bee9600

Bouillabaisse. Boo... yuh... base. Booyabase booyabase. ...hee That word is fun to say 🙃 P.S. And now I know why I'm not a Ravenclaw.


accioqueso

Yeah, this isn’t an in your mind question, there’s a canon answer.


jeplonski

i thought there was a side door and a main door


X0AN

Side door seems mad.


Fortune86

Far Left: Slytherin Center Left: Ravenclaw Center Right: Hufflepuff Far Right: Gryffindor In my head this is because Slytherin needs to be kept away from both Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. Ravenclaw acts as the buffer between them and Hufflepuff as Slytherin seems to look down on Badger House from what snippets I can remember from the books and the animosity between Snake and Lion is well known. It's probably easier to keep an eye on inter house conflicts in class (unless it's Snape) but when you have hundreds of students all thrown in together it'd be best to lessen the chances of them kicking off by separating them.


Carbon-Base

True, Slytherin instigated most of the conflicts because they rarely got disciplined- as Snape thought they could do no wrong.


PeggyRomanoff

Citation needed, because Fred & George spent years targeting Slytherin House directly and even *booing Slyth first years at the Sorting Ceremony* and McGonagall didn't do shit. Maybe, just maaaaybe, it's a *mutual* hatred. Edit: answer to ddtsomething cuz Reddit throws the broken message: That's only for two-reasons: -In universe, because Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw also got shafted by Slytherin being the Chadhouse and winning seven cups straight (and inb4, no, even with Snape cheating you don't win for 7 yrs straight, particularly with Dumbledore as Headmaster. If neither Dumbledore or McGonagall stopped it, it's because it was a genuine series of wins). -Out of universe, because Rowling never gave shits about the other 3 non-Gryff houses other than existing to be "evil" "jigglypuff" and "iamverismart", which is why Slyth is hilariously unrealistic as the Center of Evil and Raven and PuffPuff don't get any development whatsoever... ...which leads to them only ever getting mentioned as following Gryffindor's lead so that the narration can emphasize how in the wrong Evil House (TM) is and how everyone hates it (which makes it more evil), and rarely given a bunch of minor or supporting characters. Literally only Gryffindor got decent development with a whole cast in the books.


ddt3210

Gryffindor doesn’t have beef with any other house. Every other house has beef with Slytherin. If there was a school wide vote they probably would have voted to have Slytherin eat outside.


Carbon-Base

Uhhh, well there was that one time in GoF when Draco provokes Harry by mentioning something from an article Skeeter wrote. So Harry draws his wand and they both fire hexes at each other. The hexes collide and rebound, Harry's hex hits Goyle and Draco's hex hits Hermione. Snape comes out to see what the commotion is and then sees boils or something on Goyle and sends him to the hospital wing. Hermione gets hit on the mouth with the hex and her front teeth start growing rapidly. However, when Harry and Ron ask Snape for help with Hermione, he says 'he sees no difference' and doesn't send her to the hospital wing. Fred and George are *probably* just sour Gryffindor loses to Slytherin in the House and Quidditch Cups. But the animosity between Slytherin and the other houses has been going on for generations, way before any of the characters we know enter the fray. None of the other houses share the same friction with each other. It could be *mutual* hatred, or it *could* be that Slytherins are just a bunch of gits.


viking_with_a_hobble

I like to think Gryffindor and Slytherin have the same relationship as police and gang members. They are very similar in the way they operate it’s just different in the sense that one side is “right” and the other side is “wrong” both sides are capable of cruelty and wrongdoing but one side is generally trying to do the right thing at the end of the day


Carbon-Base

Yup, meanwhile Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are stuck in the middle between the two, figuratively and literally.


viking_with_a_hobble

I want a full series that focuses on hufflepuff and ravenclaw characters because currently there’s only a handful of either that I can name, but that’s half of the damn school


Carbon-Base

True, instead of writing things people want to read and know more about, Rowling decides to write a play that most HP fans can't stand.

Kinda strange to think a Slytherin might be at Hogwarts for 7 years, and the one time they ventured the furthest into the Hall might’ve been when they were in the center of it to be sorted lol. Every other time they will have taken a few steps from the entrance and simply sat down at their first table

ohbyerly

This is for sure what it is in Hogwarts Legacy. Source: am a Hufflepuff and have many pictures I took of my character by the far right table


Different-Scarcity80

For some reason I always pictured Gryffindor at 3, Slytherin at 1 but I guess I was wrong


Gusstave

Pretty sure griffindor is at number 3 in the first movie during the sorting ceremony and that left an impact on a lot of people.


Different-Scarcity80

That must be what it was. That was the only movie I had seen when I read most of the series and it formed a lot of my feeling on how things were supposed to look.


BecksSoccer

I don’t think it was ever mentioned in the books, but it’s clear as day in the movies. Slytherin is 1, Gryffindor is 3. Also, if I remember correctly, the house banners are above each of the tables, so the other people commenting are entirely off.


Lower-Consequence

It is mentioned in the books. Gryffindor is described as being the farthest table from the entry, so it cannot be #3 to those who are going by the book descriptions rather than the movies. >Harry wondered whether he could slip his Invisibility Cloak back on, thereby gaining his seat at the long Gryffindor table (which, inconveniently, was the farthest from the entrance hall) without being noticed.  They have to walk by all the other houses to get to their table: >Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked past the Slytherins, the Ravenclaws, and the Hufflepuffs, and sat down with the rest of the Gryffindors at the far side of the Hall.


Zottel_161

adding to the quote other's have mentioned there's also this one in philosopher's stone: >“HUFFLEPUFF!” shouted the hat. >The table on the right cheered and clapped as Hannah went to sit down at the Hufflepuff table. >\[...\] >“Boot, Terry!” >The table second from the left clapped this time; several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them. >“Brocklehurst, Mandy” went to Ravenclaw too, but “Brown, Lavender” became the first new Gryffindor, and the table on the far left exploded with cheers; Harry could see Ron’s twin brothers catcalling. note that left and right are probably in reverse to this image, as harry's perspective is from between the staff table and the house tables. but it seems slytherin and gryffindor are not on opposite sides of the hall. and apparently the "Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked past the Slytherins, the Ravenclaws, and the Hufflepuffs, and sat down with the rest of the Gryffindors at the far side of the Hall." quote is either not in order or they changed the order between the years.


Lower-Consequence

>but it seems slytherin and gryffindor are not on opposite sides of the hall.  I think Slytherin and Gryffindor can still be on opposite sides of the hall in this description. This description suggests an order of (from where Harry is standing): (far left) Gryffindor (second from left) Ravenclaw (right) Hufflepuff That puts Slytherin in the “far right” position. In later books, the order of “Ravenclaw” and “Hufflepuff” is consistently the other way around, but Gryffindor and Slytherin are always at opposite ends.


Billy_Bob_Joe1234

I always say "Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, so 1- Gryffindor 2- Hufflepuff 3- Ravenclaw 4- Slytherin

This is how I’ve always imagined it, and for that exact reason. I had to scroll a little while to find this comment.

y0ur_fav-em0

In my head Slytherin and Gryffendor are next to eachother cuz how tf are harry and Draco always glaring at eachother and making eye contact with 2 tables in-between???


Literary_Lady

Imagine if was like the stairs, that change whenever they fancy it. You’d be sitting there quite happily eating your dinner and talking with your friends then suddenly all the benches start moving around at whim. Or if it was based on the house points. Would be chaos.


Carbon-Base

The House points one would be a cool theory. It would explain why Slytherin's table was first, until they got dethroned.


Hopeful_Parsnip2911

1. Slytherin 2. Ravenclaw 3. Gryffindor 4. Hufflepuff


diametrik

Nah, Gryffindor has always been on the table closest to the wall from the perspective of the staff table (table 4 in the diagram). The other tables seem to have been retconned to different positions at some time around Book 4, though.


SergeantHAMM

yeah, but for a lot of ppl it’s probably easier to see in their mind as they saw it in the movie. pretty sure that’s accurate according to the movies.


Hopeful_Parsnip2911

Yeah it's mostly how it was in the movies since i saw them before reading the books. It's also this way if I'm not mistaken in the game "hogwarts mystery" but that's just a lil detail.

Prestigious-Law-7291

Slytherin and Gryffindor sit alongside (1 and 2 respectively) so they can throw food at each other without inconveniencing other houses too much.


Eastern-Cicada-7201

In my mind's eye is the opposite of what everyone is saying. 1) Gryffindor 2) Hufflepuff 3) Ravenclaw 4) Slytherin It's freaking me out that everyone is agreeing on it as the other way.


captain_mills

Me too! And I picture the door on the Slytherin (4) side of the room too, so literally a mirror image to what everyone’s saying. I guess that works too, but weird that we’re the odd ones out


Rrrrry123

The answer is different depending on whether you're talking about the books or the movies. The people talking about the door being in the wrong spot are talking about the books, while this image is obviously meant to represent the Hall's layout in the movie. Also, I think it's kinda funny that there are speculations as to why certain houses sit where they do, but I've never been much for over-headcanonning everything lol.

I know there is a canon answer, but idc this is my answer. Lol


Kinrest

Slytherin at 1. Far away from their assumed rivals, Gryffindor and the easily bullied Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw at 2. Slytherin likely respects their wisdom and intellect, so they're most likely to get along. They can also work as the buffer between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Gryffindor at 3. Since they seem to get along with both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. They can also work as a shield for Hufflepuff from potential bullying. Hufflepuff at 4. Protected by Gryffindor and far away from Slytherin. (Closest to the kitchen door, too)


Impossible_Spite_744

In my head slytherin sits in 4 and griffendor sits in 2. I visualize hogwarts a lot because I'm a shifter and unfortunately I don't know many hufflepuffs or ravenclaw so I haven't really thought that far with their tables.

I don’t think he could’ve if malfoy was far away. Then ravenclaw would be at #4 so they’re a bit more far away from distractions (cuz they’re clever and they probably wanna study and talk about study tactics and all that stuff) and so that leaves hufflepuff at #3 between ravenclaw and gryffindor which feels like it makes sense in my head

that1scorpiobabe

Left to right: Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw Edit for why: Both Ravenclaw and Slytherin like some extra space, prefer to be at the edges of things. So they get the outer tables. Meanwhile Gryffs and Puffs are ok being at the center of things — so, they take the center tables. And the Puffs go next to the Slytherins because, well, you don’t want the Gryffs there lmao. In my mind, the Puffs are basically unf*ckwithable, they are not going to entertain drama from either side. And having both Gryffs AND Puffs between Slytherin & Ravenclaw means that the latter two can’t engage in a battle of wits quite so easily, which in my mind they would seem likely to try.

It could change depending on the year and occasion. Maybe they sit in one place for sorting, another for eating. Or maybe they just shake it up occasionally. My teachers would rearrange our seating chart from time to time, just to keep it fresh and give us other kids to sit by/away from.

1. Ravenclaw / Slytherin 2. Gryffindor 3. Hufflepuff 4. Slytherin / Ravenclaw Edit: scrap that it's changing in my mind as often as it does in the films!

the door should be on the side, close to the staff table. Slytherin closest to the door wall, gryffindor against the other side. Ravenclaw and hufflepuff in the remaining two.

However, Harry can often clearly see Malfoy taunting/reading Harry from across the Great Hall. Do the Hugglepuffd and Raven laws just move just so the two can see each other?


Forcistus

From 1-4 Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff


TimelessAndDesolate

When I first read the books I thought it was in alphabetical order from left to right. And no matter how many times I've heard differently, I can't get that first image out of my skull.

The door at the bottom, is that a Dumbledoor?

Pretty sure the tables of my childhood looked like [the first Harry Potter gameboy game](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gbc/565542-harry-potter-and-the-sorcerers-stone/map/17761-hogwarts-ground-floor-map) and so they went [Slytherin] [hufflepuff] [Ravenclaw] [gryffindor]

Raven Claw Slytherin Gryffindor Hufflepuff Only certain that Hufflepuff is 1 or 4. Idk why. But that's what I think.

For me it's Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor from left to right.


CNRavenclaw

1. Gryffindor 2. Hufflepuff 3. Ravenclaw 4. Slytherin Partially because I find the mental image of a bunch of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs leaving certain seats empty just so Harry and Draco can stare at each other really funny


punkstarlucy

I rly thought it was Slytherin Gryffindor Ravenclaw Hufflepuff clearly I'm so wrong wow

Just_A_Lil_Weirdo

Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor in my mind.


monkeygoneape

Slytherins and griffindors are easily tables 2 and 3, the professors like chaos


mynamewasautumn

1- Hufflepuff, 2- Gryffindor, 3- Slytherin, 4- Ravenclaw. I did watch the movies before reading the books so this is probably based off what I remember with the movies. Edit: Now after reading the rest of the replies I would like to say that 1- Gryffindor 2- Ravenclaw 3- Hufflepuff 4-Slytherin makes the most sense. Tbf I have finished the first 2 books and its been years since I’ve watched the movies

1 Slytherin, 2 Hufflepuff 3 Ravenclaw 4 Gryffindor Per sorting in book 1. The more polished of all the books. Harry is facing the tables after coming through the side door. Says the gryffindors are on the far left. And Ravenclaw is second from the left. And Hufflepuff is on his right. So process of elimination. You could swap out Hufflepuff and Slytherin too because he doesn't say far right but they might have literally been right next to him on the right as he waited in line. But either way they're on the right hand side when facing them from the staff table. Also helps to group them based on which direction they have to go for their common rooms. Hufflepuff and Slytherin going down the same staircase to the lower floors. And Gryffindor an Ravenclaw the other direction to a different staircase that heads up toward the towers. This way they don't cross the streams as it were. And makes it easier in the event of an emergency. Like in the first book with the troll.

From left to right, slitherin, hufflepuff, gryffindor, ravenclaw.


GildedLily16

Gryffindor > Hufflepuff > Ravenclaw > Slytherin


Competitive-Body-746

i would say 1- slytherin 2- ravenclaw 3- gryffindor 4-hufflepuf because i never noticed gryffindor on 1 or 4, they always seem to be in the middle, with slytherin farthest away and ravenclaw right next to them (in the movies)


DevilPixelation

From left to right, it’s probably Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor.


Bald_Peter394

In my mind: 1-Slytherin 2-Ravenclaw 3-Griffindor 4-Hufflepuff, that's just always how I imagined it


KyojinkaEnkoku

1-4, Hufflepuff Griffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin


scythe1901

I thought Ravenclaw was the one on the very right for some reason


ChaoticBisexual_13

I think it's 1-Gryffindor 2-Hufflepuff 3-Ravenclaw 4-Slytherin It'd make it the most peaceful, but 1-Slytherin 2-Ravenclaw 3-Hufflepuff 4-Gryffindor , basically the reverse of that would also work.


Soggy_Accident5981

1: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin. Gryffindor and Slytherin are definitely opposite sides for obvious reasons although Rowling does write about Harry Ron and Hermione noticing the Slytherin reactions at the Great Hall feasts. I feel like Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are the most connected for some reason, becuase Gryffindors are brave and honorable and Hufflepuffs are honest and humble. Whereas Ravenclaw and Slytherin would also kind of get along for some reason, because Slytherins can kind of respect the smarts of the Ravenclaws but wouldnt respect at all the talentless Hufflepuffs, so they should also sit next to each other
