Minerva McGonagall was sorted into Gryffindor House during her time at Hogwarts. According to J.K. Rowling, she was a Hatstall between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, which means that the Sorting Hat took longer than usual to decide on her House. However, her fiery nature and bravery when Hogwarts was threatened make it clear that she belongs in Gryffindor. She is also the Head of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
