Characters In Hogwarts Houses

Well, Jango did. Boba was kinda just there.

Isn't he too young anyway?

How did Peter Pettigrew get into Gryffindor anyway? Did he bribe the hat?

Hey how would The Dresden Files fit?

^^^ Boba has a very strong personality in the EU. From what I know about him he's... difficult to place. He has some of the strongest qualities, positive and negative, of several houses, and doesn't have a strong tendency to any of them.

Hufflepuff then.

So Boba's got a series of extreme personality traits and deals with this by hanging around somewhere where he doesn't tilt towards them. Huh.

Swordsman Troper — Reclaiming The Blade — Watch

Comes from people seeing Hufflepuff as "miscellaneous" when they're not.

That said, Boba is apparently extremely honorable - allegedly only taking jobs that fit his odd moral code (unless they involve with Han Solo) - so it's not like there's no case for him to be there.

Boba, like his father, is a Manalorian and they are Proud Warrior Race Guy.

That seems to suggest Gryffindor. Though one of the smarter Gryffindors.

Hufflepuff is honor? The that's where Zuko goes.

The Sorting Hat quotes Helga Hufflepuff as saying "I'll teach the lot and treat them just the same."

It describes Helena Hufflepuff as being that way. Once. In the entire series.

...when describing the origin of the houses and their criteria for creating the houses. By the sorting hat, the object that does the sorting. during the song it sings just before sorting, which explains to first-years where they're going.

kind of significant.

It then stands to reason that the hat describing the Hufflepuffs and "noble," "good," and "ethical" in two other songs in the series much then, obviously, be real criteria as well, yes?

yes. i'd give them equal weighting.

I'm going to do the Gemma Doyle Trilogy:

Gemma: Ravenclaw. She is smart, but not particularily cunning, and she is one hell of a Snark Knight.

Felicity: I would say Gryffindor, though she does have some Slytherin traits as well. But I think that her bravery is what defines her character - she doesn't worry about her reputation, she often acts before she thinks, and is not always that nice, but she is ultimately a heroic and courageous character. Gryffindor for her.

Ann: Slytherin. I know, I know, she's not popular nor an aristocrat, but she is cunning and very ambitious, though she has learned to repress that side of herself.

Pippa: (Please note that I am talking about Pippa before she goes batshit insane) This one is tough. At first, she seems like a Hufflepuff, but in Rebel Angels and the latter half of A Great and Terrible Beauty, she shows that she is also cunning and (maybe unconciously) kind of manipulative. But one could argue that she only does those things because she thinks it'll impress her girlfriend Felicity. I'm not entirely sure, but I think Pippa's a Hufflepuff.

Studies show; Intelligent girls are more depressed 'Cause they know what the world's really like

I'll do Erfworld

• Parson: Slytherin. Sure, he's intelligent enough to be in Rawenclaw, but what make him the perfect warlord are the Slytherin traits - cunning, ambition, charism, diplomacy.
• Wanda: Gryffindor. Determination, courage, and a lack of self-preservation. She's not cunning, and when she seems to be, she probably followed ideas other people / "fate" were giving her. She may be associated with Slytherin by many, because dark magic = Slytherin, but I really don't see that.
• Sizemore: Hufflepuff. Goodheartedness, Work Ethic, Loyalty, Honor, Judiciousness - that's him. He would feel fine in Rawenclaw, too, I guess.
• Jack Snipe: Rawenclaw. He doesn't fit anywhere else, really.
• Charlie: Slytherin. Cunning, ambition, pulling strings....
• Maggie: Rawenclaw. Disciplined, intelligent, controlled, and working with her/other people's mind(s) is just what she does.
• Jillian: Gryffindor, full stop. Courageous, direct, absolutely not subtle.
• Tramennis: He's a tough one, because he shares characteristics of all houses. In the end I see him most in Rawenclaw. He's diplomatic, and subtle, but still he's pretty straightforward. In the end what sets him apart is his intelligence and wit.
• Ossomer: Hufflepuff. Honor and virtue, steadfastness. Certainly not Slytherin or Rawenclaw. May fit in Gryffindor.
• Caesar: Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. If he was more of a Slytherin he probably wouldn't be in the situation he's in right now.
• Slately: Hufflepuff. His themes are tradition, valor, honor, responsability.
• Ansom: Gryffindor. Or Hufflepuff (honor, virtue, hard work), but he has the recklessness and bravery theme going, too.
• Stanley: A tough one. I'd go for Gryffindor. He's certainly no Rawenclaw, and he's not Slytherin either (though he probably wished to be).

If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough

Doctor Who

The Doctor in general-Ravenclaw or heroic Slytherin he runs on cunning but isn't very ambitious. The doctor is brave and loyal but they aren't his main traits his intelligence is .

Farscape cast:

John – Gryffindor

D'Argo – Hufflepuff

Aeryn – Gryffindor

Zhaan – Hufflepuff

Rygel – Slytherin

Chiana – Slytherin

Jool – Ravenclaw

Sikozu – Ravenclaw

Scropius – Slytherin

Crais – Gryffindor

So I had earlier a moment of fridge brilliance combined with wild mass guessing ... Earlier I mentioned the Crouches. I thought that Barty Crouch Senior would have probably been in Slytherin because he was highly ambitious and used any means to achieve his ends. Barty Junior, however, is primarily characterized by his loyalty (how often does he wangst about how he was loyal and the other death eaters weren't?). He probably would have been placed in Hufflepuff, but that same loyalty streak probably made him into something of a "Well Done, Son" Guy, and he wanted to impress dear old dad, so he negotiated with the sorting hat to be put in Slytherin. The hat agreed, against its better judgement, and, once sorted, poor Barty Jr. realized that he still didn't have his father's attention or approval, and at the same time, fell in with a bad crowd of fellow slytherins, and became a death eater. FRIDGE BRILLIANCE.

Also, what house do you all reckon Fudge would have been in?

I have to reach right back and discuss Luke Skywalker again:

No way, the guy is totally a Gryffindor. He has that typical hero quality of having a desire to buck off from his home, seek out new adventure and prove himself to the galaxy. I would say "prove himself to the galaxy" is the key Gryffindor quality. He also regular seeks to act against the bearded old men who mentor him, when he saved Vader he was going against what he was told to seek out what he felt to be there by instinct. Also, do not confuse determination with perservence, though here I'm not sure it matters all that much: wanting things is not the same as accepting easily that you should take the slow path and achieve it through step by step of arduoud, perhaps dull, labour.

Gryffindor basically exists to take chaps of Campbellian herodom and stick them together.

Very interesting you should mention Chiana to Slytherin. She's totally a super babe but her personality is quite...Slytheriny.

Which is to say it's the complete opposite of her race. The Nebari race as a whole, as evil as it is, wouldn't really be Slytherins. I find that very interesting.

Let's try the Andromeda crew:

Dylan: Gryffindor. Clearly.

Tyr: Slytherin. Clearly.

Beka: I waver between Gryffindor and Slytherin, but she's more Slytheriny. Her years of soloing the galaxy has made her more of a self-preservationist.

Seamus: Ravenclaw. Clearly.

Rommie: Hufflepuff. Unquestionably loyal and always willing to get the work done.

Trance: Hm. I kind of want to say Hufflepuff, but she's clearly a Slytherin masquerading as a Hufflepuff. It's really hard to get into the mindset of a sentient star's avatar body. She does try to steer the crew in the right direction subtly.

I think the Nebari are evil Hufflepuffs.

The Fellowship of the Ring: (From LOTR the books) I like what Dumbledore says about the Houses - how everyone can have a little of all, but our actions show who we really are. So the house doesn't define you so much as the individuals define the house.

Frodo: Gryffindor - Tolkien himself said no one else could have taken it that far. Plus, he's hardly ever as trippy as the movie makes him.

Sam: Gryffindor indisputably. That guy's loyalty and courage knows no bounds.

Pippin: Hufflepuff

Merry: I was wavering between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor,the Witch King fight tossed him over to Gryffindor.

Gandalf: Ravenclaw. Clearly.

Aragorn: All that brooding? Definitely Gryffindor! :D Kidding, kind of. But still Gryffindor.

Legolas: Ravenclaw ... he seems the type to hash stuff out first on an intellectual level. But props for the badass orc-killing.

Gimli - Gryffindor. He beat Legolas. :)

Boromir: Slytherin - and a unusually honorable one. His death was courage through and through. The bit about his ambition though, made him Slytherin. Poor guy.

Feel free to correct me!

PS: And be nice to Nienor, fellow Tolkien fan. She was a tragic character who was a victim of circumstances. I think her setting out alone with her mother to find a lost brother was pretty heroic.

Oh, and I would personally stick Felicity into Slytherin. She's cunning and ambitious as all heck. Good call with the rest, though.

I personally believe the only reason Peter Pettigrew got into Gryffindor is that his name comes alphabetically after Black and Lupin (and James considered himself a shoo-in for Gryffindor), and so he went under the hat with a strong preference for that House. The hat was probably like, "Seriously? Are you sure you don't want to reconsider this one?"

All four main characters of Death Note are probably Slytherins, although I could see L and Near as Ravenclaws and Mello as a Gryffindor. But I think I like them all as Slytherins, just to show what a broad spectrum that House can include. Misa is totally a Hufflepuff - seriously, pulling all-nighters staring at photographs for a lead Light basically intended as busywork? More interestingly, Mikami is, like, the darkest Hufflepuff of all time.

Okay, make that the darkest Hufflepuff of all time if Umbridge wasn't a Hufflepuff as a teenager. I think the odds are decent that she was.
