The Sorting Hat gives Chris Colfer a choice: Ravenclaw or Slytherin.
He wants to choose Ravenclaw but he remembers his last primary school teacher telling him that his marks are too low, that he can’t write well enough, that he’ll need tutors if he wants to make anything of himself.
Ravenclaws are smart. He knows that, everyone knows that. They’re clever and Chris isn’t sure if he’s clever enough, so he closes his eyes and thinks really hard: Slytherin.
The hat sorts him into Slytherin.
The Sorting Hat gives Darren Criss a choice, too: Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.
He thinks sort of longingly of wearing gold and black, about how badgers have always been his favorite animals, and how he’d really like a room close to the kitchens because, come on, who wouldn’t?
But his dad was a Gryffindor, and Chuck was a Gryffindor, and he knows they wouldn’t say they were disappointed but he’s also pretty sure they would be.
So he takes a breath and bounces his leg up and down and waits waits waits until the voice booms in his ear.
The hat sorts him into Gryffindor.
