Which Literary House Would You Call Home?
Dreaming of fantastical lands or being whisked away to another place? Be careful what you wish for—The New York Public Library has assembled some of the most polarizing characters from beloved books into their very own literary houses for you to agonize over. Four houses, five roommates, and only one choice: which literary house would you call home?
Do you prefer the chaotic, titular Cat in the Hat over the rambunctious, well-meaning Tigger? Could you deal with being haunted by a teen ghost and a nutty candy-maker if it meant escaping the smug Draco Malfoy? Let us know down below in the comments, or join the conversation on Twitter or Instagram. Happy choosing!
| House 1 | House Two | House 3 | House 4 |
| Moaning Myrtle Miss Havisham Piglet Shug Avery Willy Wonka |
Beth March Tigger Ginny Weasley The Lorax Rue |
Eeyore Lady MacBeth The Cat in the Hat Cho Chang Amy March |
Emma Woodhouse Jo March Draco Malfoy Winnie the Pooh Tyrion Lannister |
