Recently a friend and I got into a short argument about the relative size of the four Hogwarts houses. For some reason I remember there being one line in one of the books that mentions "Gryffindor being the smallest house" (or something to that effect).
My question is, do the books or the movies at any point make mention of the size of the Hogwarts houses? I do not need absolute numbers any mention of the size of any house (e.g biggest, smallest, smaller than...) is completely sufficient.
Answer
Looking at books it appears that the population of the houses depend on the year, and the sorting hats choices. From what we see in the books the houses typically appear to be about equal with the hat sending around 8 students to each house give or take. Rowling doesn't appear to have given us full rosters of students for the houses while Harry was in school, and im not finding any interviews addressing it either. Its also hard to answer given the 6 years Harry attends and the fluctuation of students each year.
