Harry Ron and Hermione are all in Gryffindor because they all want to be there and posses the fitting attributes and skills to be there. However following Dumbledore telling Harry that it is our choices not abilities that set us apart from what we truly are, we may notice that the trio might be more suited for other houses other than Gryffindor if one were to go off of based on simply abilities and attributes.
Harry in Slytherin since he's very talented, has a knack for magic and a desire to prove himself while being ambitious.
Hermione in Ravenclaw because of her obvious intelligence and logical wit/cleverness. Being the most academically inclined out of the three, she possess the most regard for her studies and revels in learning.
Ron in Hufflepuff since he's always loyal to his friends and never lets others dictate his path, also his pure dedication for accomplishment regardless of him not necessarily being the brightest or most talented.
