Perfume Genius has been sorting indie musicians into their correct Hogwarts house

As Harry Potter turns 20, we now know that Mac DeMarco is definitively Hufflepuff.

Harry Potter turned 20 this week, but no celebration tops Perfume Genius’ overnight activities.

Taking to Twitter, he’s been ‘sorting’ indie musicians into their correct Howarts house, and it’s basically the best thing you’ll see all day.

“I’m the indie sorting hat,” he wrote. “Send me your indie musicians and I will place them in their house.”

So who goes where? Well…

Yep.

Definitely.

Sounds about right.

100%.

Perfect.

Even more perfect.

Insert strong arm emoji.

We will never, ever stop laughing.

Zing.
