# Magical Sorting Hat Spoofs The ‘Sorted This Way’ Video is a Hysterical Take on Hogwart By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-07-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorted-this-way References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOxwo8TUQok&feature=player_embedded) & [mostwatchedtoday](http://www.mostwatchedtoday.com/sorted-this-way-hufflepuff-pride-video/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Parody Videos:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating humorous and entertaining parody videos that combine different pop culture elements. - **Fan-created Content:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encouraging and facilitating the creation of fan-made content that keeps the legacy of popular franchises alive. - **Merging Pop Culture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the creative possibilities of merging different pop culture references to create unique and engaging content. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing new forms of entertainment that cater to fans' desire for humor, nostalgia, and intertextuality. - **Digital Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Providing platforms and tools that enable individuals and groups to easily create and share their own content. - **Social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging social media platforms as a means to distribute and promote fan-made content and parody videos. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spellbinding Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-collection.md) - [Wizard-Themed Gen Z Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-x-harry-potter-collection1.md) - [Magical Limited-Time Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-x-krispy-kreme.md) - [Wizard-Themed Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-6.md) - [Fantasy Keycap Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-house-keycaps.md) - [Wizardly Cafe Merch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-korea-x-harry-potter.md) - [Minimalist Design-Conscious Boot Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-hogwarts-set.md) - [Toy Brick Reimagined Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie.md) - [Wizard-Themed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopolyharrypotteredition.md)
