Jacob Elordi is weighing in on a classic pop culture debate — which Hogwarts house he’d belong to.

During a lighthearted interview, the actor was asked to choose between the four iconic houses from the Harry Potter series: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.

Elordi admitted he wasn’t entirely sure of the distinctions, instead turning to a familiar face for guidance, Robert Pattinson, who famously played Cedric Diggory in the films.

“I think he’s in the yellow one,” Elordi said, referencing Hufflepuff, before adding with a shrug, “I don’t know what it is, but maybe that one… just ’cause he’s cool.”

The moment quickly made the rounds online, with fans amused by Elordi’s laid-back reasoning and lack of deep franchise knowledge.

While his answer may not satisfy die-hard fans, it’s clear his pick was based less on traits and more on vibes, and a little admiration for Pattinson along the way.
