The ‘Sorted This Way’ Video is a Hysterical Take on Hogwart

— July 4, 2012 — Pop Culture
Mashing up Lady Gaga and Harry Potter may seem a bit ambitious, but Not-Literally has pulled it off with the ‘Sorted this Way’ video. Taking the apparant shame that is sometimes associated with a Hufflepuff sorting result and adding some ‘Badger pride’ to it, the girls use Gaga’s ‘Born this Way’ to create a hilarious parody video.

The video takes a look at some of the different houses around Hogwarts and how the Hufflepuff house is accepting of all. The Sorted this Way video is also a reminder that the Harry Potter legacy lives on, with active content cropping up all the time. The talented twosome remixed the Gaga song to create a fantastic new Potter anthem sure to be enjoyed by fans everywhere.
