well she probable got the idea of school houses from whatever school she went to, loads of schools in England have houses(i still remember all of mine, they were all birds) so she must of just thought of animals that represent the characteristics of the houses and colours that go with it.

What will replace the Harry Potter series?

Many people have tried to copy Harry Potter, many movies are similar to Harry Potter (The Spider Wick Chronicles for example; only because of the creatures), but none have ever come close to the magical world of Harry Potter; created by J.K. Rowling. Obviously people will try to overthrow Harry's great achievement, but this will never happen; if someone tries to improve the magical world, that Harry has already dominated I'm sure all the true Harry Potter fans, including J.K. Rowling herself, will protest. Harry Potter will live forever no matter how old it gets, and no one can replace or disprove that fact. marmar126: the hunger games
