British teen tennis sensation Laura Robson is so excited for the release of the final Harry Potter film that she Tweeted a picture of herself dressed in a Gryffindor scarf and Harry Potter glasses:
That got me thinking; if the biggest names in tennis went to Hogwarts and sat under the Sorting Hat, in which house would they be placed? Because it's a Friday in July, I was able to ponder this question for a lot longer than any grown man should. The decisions are below.
(Note: I pulled the house descriptions from Wikipedia because I'm not actually dorky enough to have the first Harry Potter book sitting on my bookshelf -- just the sixth and the seventh. Also, Robson's pose? Fantastic. She earns top O.W.L.s for that and her self-deprecating Tweet.)
Gryffindor (courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and chivalry)
Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Francesca Schiavone, Andy Roddick, Laura Robson (if you want it, you get it)
Ravenclaw (intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit)
Venus Williams, Novak Djokovic, Vera Zvonareva, Andrea Petkovic
Hufflepuff (hard work, tolerance, loyalty, and fair play)
Rafael Nadal, Kim Clijsters, Andy Murray, Caroline Wozniacki, Juan Martin Del Potro
Slytherin (ambition, cunning, leadership, resourcefulness)
Serena Williams, Robin Soderling, Victoria Azarenka, Stanislas Wawrinka (the first email I get complaining about putting Serena in Slytherin will be returned with a howler)
Emma Stone Raquel Alessi Marisa Coughlan Shanna Moakler Portia de Rossi
