Characters In Hogwarts Houses

Re: Gryffindor!Ozai, Hufflepuff!Long Feng and Slytherin!Katara.

Gryffindor values courage, daring, nerve, and chivalry. Ozai may not be particularly chivalrous, but he's got the balls to challenge a fully realized Avatar head on. Daring and nerve in spades. Ain't not runnin' away like a coward. There's your courage.

Slytherin values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. Traits that Katara does not possess, or which do not define her. Katara is more Gryffindor and a bit of Hufflepuff when she's not being a bitch.

Hufflepuff. Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Long Feng could not be less well suited for Hufflepuff.

Well, Long Feng supposedly came from humble beginnings and worked his way to being the man behind the king, so I guess you could infer that he's really hard-working. I'd still peg him as a Slytherin, unoriginal as that may be.

Here's my alternate take on the Senior Enterprise crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation:

• Jean-Luc Picard: Slytherin. A true leader and a stern-faced master diplomat who does whatever it takes to keep his crew safe.
• Will Riker: Gryffindor. A bold adventurer who loves the thrill of exploration.
• Geordi LaForge: Ravenclaw. The inquisitive scientist who pursues knowledge for its own sake.
• Deanna Troi: Hufflepuff. The intuitive Team Mom.
• Worf, Son of Mogh: Gryffindor. The proud warrior who values honor and chivalry above all else, even when it requires sacrifice.
• Data: Ravenclaw. The analytical thinker who uses science to make sense of the world.
• Beverley Crusher: Hufflepuff. The cool-headed healer who helps her friends out in times of difficulty.

The Marvel Universe:

• Gryffindor: Thor, Scott Summers, Jean Grey, the Silver Surfer, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm, Wolverine, Steve Rogers, Matt Murdock
• Ravenclaw: Reed Richards, Charles Xavier, Hank McCoy, Stephen Strange, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, Victor Von Doom
• Hufflepuff: Kurt Wagner, Peter Rasputin, Susan Richards, Kitty Pryde, Foggy Nelson, Peter Parker, Warren Worthington, Bobby Drake
• Slytherin: Tony Stark, Emma Frost, Prince Namor, Nick Fury, Loki, Norman Osborne, Remy Lebeau, Black Panther, Magneto

Yeha, I can go with that. Stark is totes a Slytherin.

^^ Based on what I know about him I might make Namor a Gryffindor, and perhaps the Silver Surfer a Hufflepuff.

Namor is a textbook Gryffindor. Arrogant, bullheaded, tends to approach a situation with direct confrontation rather than diplomacy, flexible set of morals.

Let me try this with One Piece.

Monkey D. Luffy - Gryffindor. He's brave, and loyal to a fault. Slytherin could also work, what with the ambition of becoming Pirate King.

Roronoa Zoro - Slytherin. He wants to be the best swordsman, after all.

Nami - Slytherin, at least initially, but with greater shades of Ravenclaw as she learned more about meteorology and navigation.

Usopp - Slytherin. Kind of funny in that his ambition is basically to become a Gryffindor and be a brave pirate warrior.

Sanji - Gryffindor. He's chivalrous, although it is usually just White Knighting. Bravery also plays a part here. Makes sense when you think about his enmity with Zoro.

Tony Tony Chopper - Hufflepuff. Always trying to patch up his crewmates and keep them from making their injuries worse.

Nico Robin - Ravenclaw. She's the scholar.

Franky - Ravenclaw. Like Robin, except with machinery as his field of study.

Brook - Hufflepuff. His job is basically to provide morale. And I don't think there's any question about steadfastness here. He gave up rock superstardom to be an outlaw with the rest of his crazy pirate family.

So yeah, a lot of positive Slytherins here. Then again, they are pirates, so maybe just positive for everyone but the few people they've actually stolen from.

Are there any Gundam fans here who would be willing to House characters from any of the various series?

Rumplestiltskin - Slytherin. His motivation is loyalty, but he's a cunning and manipulative guy. He's had to be, just to survive. Even before he became the Dark One, it was all about survival.

Techinally I think he would be Puff I mean the enire business is about not abonding his son.

Regina - Ravenclaw. She really doesn't do the evil queen thing that well, considering. To me she feels like a Ravenclaw trying to be a Slytherin and failing.

Emma - Slytherin. I buy that she has a truth sense, and that she's had to strategize how she reacts to people all her life to learn more information. She's sneakier than she lets on, which is a classic Slytherin trait. She tends to think as she acts. If she wasn't in Slytherin, she'd be in Gryffindor.

Snow White - Ravenclaw. It's not that she became a teacher in Storybrooke, although that's a large part. I just get the sense that she tends to try to learn about something first. In her dark!Snow episode, she's all about the logic. Intimidating the knight demonstrates a lot of knowledge. And choosing to forget her true love instead of live with the pain is a very logical move. also it's a nice parallel with Regina.

I think Snow is more of a Gryf then a Ravenclaw

Prince Charming - Hufflepuff. His main trait is loyalty, I think. Loyalty to his mother led him to sacrifice his personal hopes; loyalty to Snow led him to sacrifice his position as royalty. Also he's a very good finder. And it amuses me that crossing a Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff gets you a Slytherin.

Henry Mills - Gryffindor. It takes a hella lot of courage to go on a Greyhound, on your own, from Maine to Massachusetts, to find your biological mom so you can get out of an emotionally and psychologically abusive situation. Also his trend this season, which has been "I'm done reading about heroes. I want to be one." Or he could be like his maternal grandpa and be a good finder?

Hook - Gryffindor. I buy him as an evil Gryffindor. He's very brave, almost foolhardily so; and something of his attitude with Rumple reminds me of James Potter before Snape's near-death experience. He's bold and brash. lots of Gryffindor stuff.

Belle - Gryffindor. "I always wanted to be brave. I figured, do the brave thing and bravery would follow." I don't think so much that Belle wanted to be brave she just wanted to get out of the so-called 'boring' do-nothing life engaged to someone she didn't love.

Archie - Ravenclaw. He had to be smart, in order to keep up with his Slytherin-minded parents. I figure him for the guy who's more booksmart than practical smart, which gets in the way sometimes.

Dr. Whale - Ravenclaw. his whole life goal is centered around researching immortality.

Red - Gryffindor. It takes courage to get through the crap she's gone through and still wake up in the morning.

Grumpy - Gryffindor. Contrast how he deals with losing his love with how Snow deals with it. Grumpy embraces the pain, and works through it, because having had love is worth it. His kind of bravery is a day-to-day bravery.

Abigail - Ravenclaw. She's very shrewd. She's not necessarily sneaky, although I do think she had a network of spies going on in FTL, but she's definitely a person who can size up a situation and do the thing that hurts the least amount of people. She's smart.

Sidney Glass - Hufflepuff. His main characteristic seems to be loyalty to the woman he loves, although he did get a little snarky with her in Jefferson's episode. It's a nice contrast to Charming, too.

Cora - Slytherin to the core.

Mulan - Gryffindor. It takes a lot of courage just to be what Mulan is, a woman facing down misogyny and spitting in its face every day. I can promise you she's gotten more crap for wearing armor than anyone should have to go through.

Aurora - I'm not quite sure about her yet, but right now I'd put her in Gryffindor. She chose to go under the sleeping curse; she was composed under pressure during conversation with Cora; she kept on going without complaint while wearing a dress and trudging through the wasteland of FTL; she volunteered to go with Hook up the beanstalk, unafraid of death. She's Sansa-brave.

Graham - Hufflepuff. His main motivation was loyalty to his pack and code.

Jefferson - Slytherin. He's a man who can play the game well. He just didn't expect Regina to leave him in Wonderland. But also he's loyal to his daughter/

Lancelot - I'm not sure, but I'd tentatively say Gryffindor. I would techinally say either Puff or Slytherin since he stayed loyal to (Queen G if she exists in this universe)

Have people forgot that one of Gryfs bad traits is stubbornness and acting before thinking? That's kind of is a problem with the Charming family. BTW

Perfect Cherry Blossom

Letty Whiterock: Hufflepuff. Patient and down-to-earth.

Chen: Cunning and clever. Slytherin.

Alice Margatroid: Intelligent, seeker of knowledge and very individualistic. Clear Ravenclaw.

Lily White: Hufflepuff.

Lunasa Prismriver: Slytherin, since she's a smart leader-type.

Merlin Prismriver: Cheerful, down-to-earth and kind; Hufflepuff.

Lyrica Prismriver: Daring and headstrong, she's a Gryffindor. Could be a Slytherin, but I like the idea of giving the sisters different houses. I guess that makes Layla Prismriver a Ravenclaw.

Youmu Konpaku: Brave, loyal and boastful. Gryffindor.

Yuyuko Saigyouji: Tough one. While she's patient and kind enough to qualify for Hufflepuff, she's also wise and knowledgeable enough for Ravenclaw. However...because of her mysterious and cunning actions as the Princess of Hakugyokurou, I'm gonna go Slytherin.

Ran Yakumo: Very intelligent and cunning, but also fiercely dedicated to both her mistress and towards her shikigami and a hard worker. Difficult choice...gonna go with Hufflepuff.

Yukari Yakumo: Cunning and shrewd, and prefers to do all the work in the shadows when she can't get anyone to do it for her. Incredibly powerful. Slytherin.

...could you take the parts you quoted and are responding to in a quoteblock? the code is [[ quoteblock ]] text here [[ /quoteblock ]] without the spaces in the brackets.

because otherwise it just looks like you copied my post and took it as your own analysis.

I'll guess I'll do some Simona Ahrnstedt characters.

From Överenskommelser:

• Beatrice: Despite the fact that she's an intellectual, which would mean that she belongs in Ravenclaw, I have to say that she's a Gryffindor. She's plucky and stubborn, and her complete willingness to sacrifice herself for her friends boarders on pure stupidity. Unless I'm totally mistaken here, Ravenclaws usually are a calmer and more laid-back type.
• Seth: I guess I would put him in Gryffindor as well, as he can be very heroic and chivalrous. Not to mention that he's impulsive and stubborn, which are common negative traits of a typical Gryffindor. But he also has a dark side, which made it hard for Beatrice to trust in him. So let's say that he's a "dark Gryffindor", just like Sirius Black.
• Sofia: I have to say Hufflepuff. She's always defined by that she's such a lovely person. The loyality between her and Beatrice is indestructible. Of course, Sofia has no work ethics, which would speak against her being a Hufflepuff. But we should remember that she was taught to be a Proper Lady, who had no ambitions other than to please men.
• Johan: Hufflepuff again, I guess. As an Ideal Hero, who's not a tough action guy, it's hard to see him in any other house. He's the lily-white Nice Guy, who's perfect almost all the time.

Some more thoughts on A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones:

Robert Baratheon: I'm surprised no one's mentioned Robert Baratheon yet, but to me he's the most easy to sort: a Gryffindor through and through. In his youth, he was powerful, courageous, daring, dashing; the classic hero (just read the descriptions of his feats of reckless bravery during the rebellion and tell me that's not Gryffindor). At the time of the series' start he's become deeply unhappy because his warrior days are behind him and it turns out that ruling a kingdom isn't anywhere near as fun as ruling one. His greatest desire is to abandon the throne and become a sellsword in Lys.

Gendry: A case could be made for either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. He's loyal and just, and not at all without bravery. I'd go with Hufflepuff; he's rather too humble for Gryffindor.

Renly Baratheon: A definite Slytherin, and a sympathetic and even pretty good one. He's grown up in the shadow of his two brothers and has a thirst to prove himself, quickly taking action to get the throne when the opportunity arises. He's charismatic and commanding, and knows how to lead people. He's focused on his own merits and prestige. He's pragmatic; though he admires and has some loyalty towards the more Gryffindor-esque Neds and Robbs of the world, he's inclined to preserve himself rather than stand with them, and he's adamant that he wants Robb's loyalty. All in all, a very admirable and likeable Slytherin. He would have made a great king. If only.

Varys: A schemer and manipulator, yes, but I would put him in Ravenclaw; the thirst for knowledge seems to be what drives him, and he shows less sign of being driven by his own ambitions.

Hodor: Hufflepuff; Hodor Hodor Hodor, Hodor Hodor. Hodor!

I mentioned Robert back on Page 10. He's definitely a Gryffindor.

Oooh, interesting thread!

I'm gonna take a crack at this with The Prince Of Egypt

Moses: Hufflepuff

We tend to stick main protagonists into Gryffindor by default, but Moses doesn't seem like a natural hero to me. He fell into his job, and he's very reluctant about it (more than once he straight up asks God to pick someone else) almost until the very end. It's only at the parting of the sea that he seems to really embrace being the deliverer. He's obviously kind-hearted and conscientious, though, even when he's a prince — he feels so guilty about pushing Tzipporah into the pool that he helps her escape the palace. And Moses' ambivalence comes from being completely loyal to both of his families and wanting to do what's right for everyone. If I were the sorting hat, I'd put him in Hufflepuff.

Rameses: Textbook Slytherin

Obsessed with a need to honor his dead father by not being a "weak link" ruler, Rameses does whatever he has to do to uphold his own authority and preserve the Egyptian traditions — including slavery. Even if that means torching his relationship with Moses, whom he still loves as a brother. Even if it means subjecting his people to a series of devastating plagues. And even if it means forcing the whole Egyptian army into the sea to get his slaves back.

Miriam: Hufflepuff; alternately Gryffindor

At first I pegged Miriam as a Gryffindor — she is impulsive and definitely brave, often to the point of recklessness; that's classic Gryffindor stuff. But more of her dominant qualities — compassion/gentleness, loyalty, and honesty — are firmly Hufflepuff. And those Gryffindor actions seem driven by Hufflepuff reasoning — the Chronic Hero Syndrome incident on the scaffold happened because it hurt her so badly to see someone else getting hurt. Though personally I think she'd be a good fit in either house.

Aaron: Um?

Totally stumped. Possibly Slytherin, because self-preservation is the biggest aspect of his character, and because of what he'll do to preserve his way of life: He's not above telling Blatant Lies to authorities, or hurting feelings, and he's clever - he has to think pretty quickly to keep himself and his sister from getting punished. But he lacks a lot of the other Slytherin traits — he isn't power-mad or especially ambitious — and it might be weird to put him there because of the perception that Slytherin is for villains, which Aaron definitely isn't. So maybe Gryffindor? He's got some chivalrous and brave tendencies that surface toward the end. I dunno.

Tzipporah: Gryffindor

Tzipporah is the most Gryffindor person in the POE-verse — fiery, headstrong, quick-tempered, and tough as nails. She isn't afraid of getting physical to protect herself, Moses, or any of the other people she loves - she tries to bite Egyptian royalty when they humiliate her at the banquet, and she definitely would've attacked the Egyptian guards at the Nile if Aaron and Miriam weren't holding her back. If that doesn't scream Gryffindor, then I don't know what does.

From what I remeber about that movie, I'd probably put that version of Ramesses in Gryffindor or arguably even Hufflepuff, depending on how you interpret "blinded by prejudice" as a character trait. IIRC, he's not particularly ambitious - he's brutally stubborn, but does what he does what he does out of tradition and Moral Myopia, not out of a sense of advancement - and he's certainly not cunning.

His two magicians, however, definitely are Slytherins from what little we see of them.

edited 1st Mar '15 1:35:47 PM by KnownUnknown

I dunno...

When Moses returns and tries his "let my people go" shtick on Rameses the first time, he asks Rameses to look out the window and tell him what he sees — a pointed reference to the slaves breaking their backs to build up Rameses' empire.

But what does Rameses see? "A greater Egypt than that of my father."

Dude is obsessed with outshining his father's dynasty and it drives everything he does. Sounds pretty ambitious to me. Also, aren't Slytherins supposed to be big into tradition? :)

edited 5th Mar '15 2:02:53 PM by vampireweekday

Pretty much everybody in Hogwarts is really big on tradition.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

For these, I'm going as much as possible on the faction leaders' individual personalities, not the ideologies they espouse (though of course the two are intertwined). All of them have a strong intellectual bent, but for the traits that drive them:

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang (The Human Hive): A fairly easy call here. Slytherin. His personnel file indicates that he's extremely cunning and good at manipulating people, and is orientated towards maximum control of others. He is highly ambitious, and willing to coerce others into following his way.

Though he is ambitious and power-seeking, it should be noted that his goal probably is something higher than himself. He's reminiscent of Chairman Mao: a social engineer, seeing human beings as pawns or specimens to be moved around. Some Ravenclaw tendencies there, but predominantly Slytherin.

Commissioner Pravin Lal (UN Peacekeepers): Another fairly easy one: Hufflepuff. His loyalty and faith in the principles laid out in the UN Charter, and his general interest in the good of people, make him very Hufflepuff indeed. Of course, he's no duffer, and will come down hard on anyone he sees to be violating those principles.

Academician Prokhor Zakharov (University of Planet): A solid Ravenclaw. A genius Omnidisciplinary Scientist, whose stated life goals and ideology are the pursuit and enlargement of knowledge for its own sake. This overrides ethical concerns, and he has difficulty relating to interpersonal matters.

CEO Nwabudike Morgan (Morgan Enterprises): I'd be pretty strongly inclined to go with Slytherin again. He's extremely ambitious, a cunning businessman, and driven by the belief (knowledge?) that money talks.

Colonel Corazon Santiago (Spartan Federation): She's action-orientated, with relatively little patience for the intellectual focus of other factions. She operates on something of a Social Darwinist, might-makes-right mentality. It's between Gryffindor and Slytherin. More Slytherin though, due to her self-preservationist, survivalist focus.

Lady Deidre Skye (Gaia's Stepdaughters): Humanist values, focus on social harmony and welfare, and sustainability. She's highly intellectual and engaged in a search for knowledge about the new planet; she's thinking on a level above and beyond any of the others. Strong Ravenclaw traits, but much more Hufflepuff overall.

Sister Miriam Godwinson (Lord's Believers): An extremely difficult one to place. Although she seems like a straight-forward religious fanatic, her distrust of new technologies is motivated by quite sound concern for its implications for human beings. I wouldn't say she's ambitious or power-hungry - at her worst she's a Knight Templar. She's quite antipathetic to the intellectual values of Ravenclaw. She is into moral crusades and has a strong sense of justice, which is good for Gryffindor. And she values the collective good, which is good for Hufflepuff.

Overall, I'm going Gryffindor, owing to her sense of 'justice' being a more deontological one than the social one more typical of Hufflepuff.

Did somebody say Gundam?

Amuro Ray - Ravenclaw - dude spends his time working too much on his machines, than to care about the world, we know he isn't really brave I mean he did ditch the characters due to his cowardice

Char Aznable - Slytherin, wants to kill the Zabi family no matter the cost? No loyalty? Has charisma to attract followers?

Bright Noa - Gryffindoor, what do you expect?

Fraw - Hufflepuff

Sayla - Gryffindor

Kai - Ravenclaw - as much as I hate to admit it, he's one of the few members who can tell when somone is an enemy, and he is a detective, where he needs to do some thinking work

Hayato - Gryffindoor - wants to hog all the glory, and is jealous of Amuro of it,

Ryo - Hufflepuff - loyal to the cause

Mirai- unknown, I need help on her

I've wanted to create this thread for months and now I find it already exists. I'm proud of the world.

Lord of the Rings characters:

Sam Gamgee - I did things backwards and read Lot R before Harry Potter, so when the Hat explained Hufflepuff in the first Sorting song I thought, "THIS IS SAM GAMGEE'S HOUSE IT'S GOING TO BE MY FAVORITE FOREVER."

Frodo - it's been a while since I've read the book, but I think he could be Ravenclaw? In-universe he wrote most of the book, and the book gives the air of a Ravenclaw mind.

Bilbo - Huffleclaw! Ravenpuff!

Gandalf - forget Slughorn, Gandalf is the real Good Slytherin. If you can out-cunning Sauron in a plan stretching over eighty years, without even invasively manipulating people into where your plan needs them to be (he just, somehow, invariably chooses the right people, who go there of their own free will) . . . that's cunning so cunning it doesn't even need to be cunning.

Discworld characters:

Sam Vimes - I know this is disputable, but I think he's Hufflepuff. I've written half a page about this somewhere, but to keep things short: He's got to have Hufflepuff loyalty to the city to defend it like an idealist while ''actually'' being such a bloody-minded cynic.

Lady Sybil - the Hat eventually put her in Hufflepuff, but Ravenclaw wasn't out of its surmises: after all she did write and illustrate the premier book on swamp-dragon pathology.

Vetinari - HMMMMM, WHADDA YOU THINK? Okay, in case you haven't read Discworld: He's the Slytherin of Slytherins. He's the Slytherin your Slytherin could Slytherin like.

Angua: Pretty straight Gryffindor.

Cheery: Ravenclaw.

Carrot: Confusing. His pastimes - museums, metalwork, Ankh-Morpork history - are pretty intellectual (i.e., Ravenclaw). He could equally be Gryffindor or Hufflepuff in his contagious charismatic idealism. But you can never tell whether he's looking out at the world from behind one layer or three - he's not ambitious like a Slytherin, otherwise he'd probably have claimed the throne by now (and no one would dispute it) . . . but he's using Slytherin cunning to avoid being recognized as the heir to the throne. He gets pretty disturbingly manipulative about it at times.

edited 30th Dec '15 12:17:44 PM by Elisabel

Let's take a look at Girl Genius.

Agatha: Gryffindor

Gil: Someone earlier on this forum thought that he was a Slytherin, but I'm pretty sure he's a gryffindor too.

Tarvek: Slytherin, no question about it.

Zeetha: Gryffindor

Violetta: Hufflepuff

Moloch: I think Hufflepuff. As much as he resents the minion role, he seems to fall into it rather easily.

Every Jäger (Except Ivo Sharktooth): Gryffindor.

Every Valois (Except Violetta): Slytherin.

Klaus: I'm going to say Gryffindor. Despite ruling the continent, he doesn't actually seem to enjoy the politics of it, and we get the impression that he would much rather be off adventuring.

Lucrezia: Slytherin.

Othar: Gryffindor.

Du Pree: Gryffindor.

Krosp: Slytherin.
