Gryffindor houses some of the bravest witches and wizards in history. They are known for their heroic tales of courage and chivalry, taking risks and seeking adventure whenever possible.

The Harry Potter books focus mainly on the tales of three Gryffindor students (Harry, Ron, and Hermione), thus it's quite the obvious choice for players who want to role play as the heroic protagonist in the game.

Fans of the books and movies will also be able to visit the Gryffindor common room which has a lot of recognizable and familiar features that fans know and love. They'll be able to step beyond the strict measures of the Fat Lady and see the memorable paintings of the Gryffindor common room. Not to mention that the common room looks exactly the same as it was portayed in the movies!

It also houses probably the most iconic house ghost in the Harry Potter Universe, Nearly Headless-Nick. Natsai Onai is the Gryffindor Companion and is a perfect fit for your journey as she is a brave witch who is always seeking adventure.
