Because Pottermore has it on my brain lately: What Hogwarts house would your characters be in? Would they expect it or would it come as a total surprise?

Comments

[yakalskovich]

Teja: in Gryffindor, to his astonishment, but mostly because the Sorting Hat would need him there together with his friend Totila.

Urquhart: Ravenclaw, at that stage, because cleverness and learning and achievement was really his forte. He only got derailed later.

Lorenzo: (I totally include him because I'm definitely apping him, and he's on my mind much) Slytherin. No doubt about it. So would be Margolotta and Tower.

Ma'at and Sirona belong in Ravenclaw as well, Donovan and Bridgette in Hufflepuff.

Tamara, though, scoffs that school is for humans.

[minkhollow]

So Tamara would hang out in the lake and eat people during the Triwizard Tournament, right?

[innerbrat]

It's a shame though. I'd love Lorenzo to be in Ravenclaw, 'cause that's where all his friends are.

He'd have to sneak out of the dungeon and come hang out with them ALL THE TIME. Even though Mac doesn't trust him because SLYTHERIN.

[minkhollow]

I actually started thinking about this because Pottermore put me in Hufflepuff. And while it didn't make sense at first (I'm more of a Slytherin with delusions of being a Ravenclaw), it was also totally accurate in its way and makes a lot of sense next to my RP roster.
(I still think the Pottermore test is too short, but that's me.)

Carl could go either in 'puff or Ravenclaw; I lean more toward the latter.
Cosmo is a classic Slytherin.
Moist is a total 'puff. He might not have many friends but he will go to the ends of the earth for the few he does have.
I'm actually not at all sure where Conflict Diamond would go.
Cata is either a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw. I hesitate to say the former just because of the 'Slytherin is evil!!1!' stereotype.
Sam? 'puff again. This would probably greatly surprise him, but he's deeply loyal to the Guild and the few people he lets in enough to consider friends.
Apollo is also a 'puff. It shows the most in how protective he is of Artemis.
Claudia would put herself in Ravenclaw, and she's certainly smart enough to pull it off, but she's very much a 'puff at the heart of it. For me, it comes down to her family. You do not screw with Claudia's family; if you do, YOU HAVE ANGERED THE BADGER. Not to mention, if you want hard work, she did a lot of the legwork to bust her brother out of limbo alone... and hacked a top-secret government facility and kidnapped one of its employees when she needed help. (Joshua, meanwhile, is a true Ravenclaw.)

Oldies but goodies: Larry's a 'puff; Jane Lane probably is as well; Morwen would be in Ravenclaw, partly on her own merit and partly to make sure Telemain left the library for dinner and bed every night; Imp is a Slytherin in ambition ('one day the world will say I was the greatest musician who ever lived'), if nnnnot so much subtlety; Angel is such a 'puff.

Occasional headspace incursions: Jarvis would be a Ravenclaw by design; Rebecca St. Clair would probably be another 'puff, though she's definitely smart enough to pull off Ravenclaw; Regulus Black, my only Potterverse headvoice, is canonically Slytherin, headcanonically because after his brother's refusal of Slytherin he thought he had to so his mother wouldn't kill him (he'd make a good Ravenclaw); and Blackmail is the only Gryffindor of the lot.

[a1enzo]

Enzo could actually be either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. He happily goes charging into danger, but he's also all about family (actual and honorary) and loyalty and stuff.

[shinyhappygoth]

Oh, and as for myself, I'm almost certainly a Ravenclaw, but I could end up in Gryffindor by virtue of the fact that, as far as I can tell, I'm actually incapable of feeling fear. I can do concern, and anxiety over the future, and I find Hello Kitty terrifying in her way, but serious fear just does not seem to happen. I do not consider this to be the same as bravery, or even a good thing (in terms of survival value), but the hat might not distinguish.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

616 Ben would be in Hufflepuff cause he is loyal to the end and stubborn to boot. He would be surprised as he'd peg himself as Gryffindor.

Ult. Ben would be Gryffindor. I'd be tempted to go with Hufflepuff but his courage is more pronounced than his stubbornness or loyalty. He wouldn't be surprised.

Val would be Ravenclaw and might be mildly surprised she didn't get Gryffindor.

Julie would be Gryffindor and would be shocked to have been sorted there, instead convinced she would have been in Hufflepuff.

Jessica I'm actually tempted to say Slytherin due to her past and her powers.

Thalia would be Gryffindor, no doubts there.

Artemus would be Ravenclaw or maybe Gryffindor.

Rincewind would run before the hat got a chance.

[gorgonfondness]

I've taken what claims to be an accurate House test both in and out of character. Everyone I've played in Milliways within the last year and myself would be sorted into Hufflepuff. I expected it with Mia and Lucas but not for myself. Mia and Lucas would see it coming, as neither consider the qualities they have besides loyalty and being hard workers to be strong enough to be another house. Mia is particularly amused by it considering her Slytherin husband.

But now I'm nothing but Hufflepuff pride and, should I ever think to join Pottermore, I'll be concerned about which house I actually get into.

[spiffynamehere.livejournal.com]

HUFFLEPUFF YEAH!

[leeshajoy.livejournal.com]

Alyx would peg herself as Ravenclaw, but probably end up in Gryffindor due to her heroic tendencies.

Artie... prrrrobably Hufflepuff? And he'd be disappointed because he wanted to be a Ravenclaw.

Twilight Sparkle is a Ravenclaw through and through. NERDS 4 LIFE, Y'ALL.

[minkhollow]

I feel like the Warehouse attracts a lot of Hufflepuffs.

[campkilkare]

Assuming Karkat got over his rage and indignation over being wizard, and over having to go to school at all, he would claim to be smart enough to a Ravenclaw but say he's obviously a Slytherin at heart while secretly hoping to be a Gryffindor.

He would be a Hufflepuff.

[campkilkare]

(He wouldn't understand it. The other Hufflepuffs wouldn't understand it. No one would understand it. Then one of his classmates would turn out to be a werewolf and start to change and while everyone was scrambling for hexes and stunning spells Karkat would wave them all off and stroke and shush the wolf into pacification.

HUFFLEPUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.)

[innerbrat]

Dinah would get sorted into Gryffindor before the hat has even reached her ears.

Mel's sorting would actually be dead interesting, 'cause she'd be sorted after Harth, and as the hat mostly puts you where you want to go, she'd follow him. Which I think, at 11 wouold be to Gryffindor, but it could be to Slytherin...
...OMG FIC IDEA. AMY.

Renee would be a longer sorting, but eventually it'd stick her into Gryffindor.

Will, bless him, a Hufflepuff at age 11. Btu he'd spend the rest of his school years being told he should be in Gryffindor, and he's the next Cedric Diggory or something.

Death is a Hufflepuff.

Marguerite would take ages to sort, hovering between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, before she is sent off to Ravenclaw with a song in her heart.

Sophie and Machiavelli, both Ravenclaws.

Floyd wold be sent off to Slytherin, disappointing himself as he wanted to be in Ravenclaw with his brother Eddie.

[the_gene_genie]

Death being a Hufflepuff fills me with glee.

[sdelmonte]

The whole house thing eludes me (like the rest of HP). Knox, moreover, would be aghast to be in a private school and Gibbs would be aghast to be in a school.

[innerbrat]

Hogwarts isn't a private school, though. No tuition fees.

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

Yrael would be either in Slytherin or Ravenclaw, I think. Though he's very loyal to his friends, also. And is rather fearless... *ponders*

Gryf-claw-slyther-puff!

I'd say Sunshine is a Hufflepuff, but signs of Gryffindor start showing once she starts realizes that she's not the coward she thinks she is.

Zelgadiss is a Ravenclaw, through and through.

[kd7sov]

Felix... is a hard one. My first instinct is to say Hufflepuff, but that's strictly because of the house-element matchups, which don't work quite the same way. I think I'm going to have to go with Gryffindor.

Kain's easy. Slytherin.

Fluttershy... wow. Well, let's start with what she definitely isn't. No ambition, except - as one blogger put it - "to cuddle every living thing". Which is a bit of an exaggeration, but close enough for our purposes here. She's not unusually intelligent, nor does she think of knowledge-for-knowledge's-sake or intelligence as the most important things in life. Now you might be asking yourself, "Cave, just how diff - I mean, "KD, what about Gryffindor? Surely that's an easy no, right?" To which I say, Neville Longbottom. And honestly, I think she'd do better in a Neville-like, 'spectator' position (if I may borrow Red Hen's terminology) in Gryffindor than in 'all for one and one for all' Hufflepuff. If nothing else, I'm not sure the Puffs would allow her as much time on her own as she needs. So, Gryffindor it is.

[spiffynamehere.livejournal.com]

I am totes a Hufflepuff, yo. I'd just like to get that out of the way. (I will be surprised if Pottermore sorts me otherwise. PROVIDING I'M STILL ALIVE asdklfjas hurricane.)

Alex is absolutely with-no-doubt . There is just no other choice. Tendency to charge into situations? Ayep. Excess bravery? Ayep. A thousand near-death experiences he somehow manages to survive? Ayep.

Jack is totally a . His destiny in life involves lots of diplomacy and being the type of person people want to hang around with and talk to about whatever's keeping them in the land of the living. So. Yes.

Sam... I think Sam's a . He's bullied lots, but he's super-brave to go charging into a war to find his dad and all that, so.

Todd, I think, would be Hufflepuff, as is Philippa (with a side of Ravenclaw). Pomona... would, um, probably just live on the grounds somewhere, not actually as part of the school. Chuck is Gryffindor with a side of Ravenclaw, and... for some reason, I want to put Freya in Ravenclaw.

BUT YEAH. Also, I have an actual Hufflepuff that I might be apping this next month (PROVIDING I AM STILL ALIVE asdlkjfalsd hurricane D:).

[genarti]

River: Gryffindor. Although her younger self fits better into Ravenclaw, so you could make an argument either way. I think that nowadays, she takes intelligence for granted and actively values bravery, which is why I lean a little towards Gryffindor here.

Trowa: Hmmm. You could make a case a bunch of ways. I'm torn between Gryffindor -- because, come on, he's a Gundam pilot, and that entails a lot of scream-and-leap-into-the-overwhelming-odds down in your soul -- and Hufflepuff, and I actually think I have to go with Hufflepuff. He's a planner, and he's willing to put a lot of patience into prep work, and he likes being underestimated.

Regan: Ravenclaw. Or Slytherin, a little, but -- Ravenclaw, really.

Piotr: Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, for different reasons than Trowa. I think, with him, I have to go with Gryffindor. He wants a job of slow patient work, but he's been an X-Man for over a decade anyway, and he keeps on making that choice to stay in the fight instead of retiring to a farm somewhere.

Hawkeye: Hufflepuff all the way. Hawkeye is kind of quintessentially Hufflepuff.

I don't think any of them have the cultural context to have any expectations about this! (Trowa would be pleased to be sorted into the commonly underestimated house, though.) I have trouble mentally transplanting them into the HP universe enough to give them expectations. Although the mental picture of all of them as 11-year-olds starting at Hogwarts is entertaining.

[genarti]

Oh, I forgot Lan. Gryffindor ALL THE WAY, but I seriously cannot picture him as part of the HPverse! Lan is hard for me to AU; his character is so tied up in his culture and backstory.

[the_gene_genie]

Gryffindor, without a shadow of a doubt. And yeah, he'd expect it.

[yakalskovich]

A young Gene being in Gryffindor when we do the AU think in MM would be too hilarious for words...

[ceitfianna]

I tend to be in Gryffindor in house quizzes and a few of mine are the same. I'm on vacation, guys and its wonderful. I slept late and there are amazing parties to look forward to.

Will is very much a Gryffindor as is William.

Sameth would be either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff which would confuse his family as both his mother and father were in Gryffindor.

Jane would be in Gryffindor or possibly Slytherin as she can be quite ambitious though Ravenclaw due to her intelligence.

Demeter is such a Hufflepuff as is Tumnus.

Moist is Slytherin all the way but he'd know how to get along with everyone, he could also be a Ravenclaw as he is terribly clever.

The Pirate King's another Gryffindor.

[batyatoon]

Cordelia: Ravenclaw edges out Hufflepuff by a very slim margin.

Andrew: He thinks he'd wind up in Ravenclaw, but his secret desire to be a Gryffindor-type hero might put him there instead.

Simon: Definitely Ravenclaw. (... I am sensing a trend.)

Charlie: Actually, she might be Gryffindor I think.

Bootstrap Bill: Hufflepuff. No contest.

Cavilo: Ahahaha definitely Slytherin. Unless she saw some immediate advantage to being elsewhere, in which case she would choose another House.

Kali: ... I can't see her fitting anywhere, to say true.

Nepeta: Gryffindor lion, yo.

[withherhands]

Ahaha. I think Jack Bauer would definitely be in Gryffindor, considering the stupid-brave stuff he's done. For a secondary house, though, I think I'd have to go with Hufflepuff. The man is extremely loyal...until you kill someone he cares about or try to kill thousands of people and then all bets are totally off.

[crazyfurries.livejournal.com]

Dot...Dot would expect to be picked into Ravenclaw, and be very, very surprised when she ends up in Syltherin. Look, she's loyal to an entire city as her family, and what friends she makes outside of it. But if you're not one of those, you really do need to watch your step around her.

Tyler would rather expect himself to end up in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, but will have himself a nice quiet panic attack when the hat throws him to the Gryffindor lions.

Mother? Oh Hell, the man ain't sane enough for Ravenclaw and he'd probably make the Slytherins uncomfortable, but you can say this much of him, is that he's loyal.

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

I can see Tyler and Julie standing in a daze like deers in headlights. "Wait...what?"

[bcgphoenix]

Gaeta: Either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff -- he's a pretty even balance between the two. If he had the Sorting Hat plopped onto his head at age eleven, though, he would have wished like crazy to be in Ravenclaw, because he knew without question he was smart and his cousins teased him enough already about being a wuss/weakling/what-have-you, thankyouverymuch. (Because, sadly, he totally would have bought into that stereotype of Hufflepuff House.)

So! Ravenclaw it would be.

The Trickster: Slytherin to the core, dude. (Though there's some Gryffindor lurking in there, too, way deep down. Shhh. Don't tell anyone, least of all him.)

Mac: Undoubtedly Ravenclaw. She's got brains and she knows it.

Olivia: Just as unambiguously Gryffindor. Hell, there are whole episodes that revolve around the fact that she very rarely gets scared like a normal person. Plus, she is a protector through and through.

[bcgphoenix]

Actually, in hindsight, I'm starting to to think even eleven-year-old Gaeta's silent, Potteresque protests of "please not Hufflepuff, please not Hufflepuff" wouldn't've been enough to sway the Hat away from the fact that he's an incredibly hard worker and steadfast like you wouldn't believe -- even in the case of spoiler spoiler 4.5 spoiler, he saw himself as maintaining loyalty to a greater cause. He would sulk forever about it, but he would grow into Hufflepuff just fine.

...Which means each of my four pups represent one of the four Houses. Heeeee.

Dude, all I can do right now is twiddle my thumbs while I wait for a hurricane, of course I'm gonna start overthinking stuff. >.>

[ashen_key]

Kait: Gryffindor. If brainy Hermione landed there, so would Kait. It wouldn't surprise her that much (and loyalty, with her, is a given, as is intelligence - but her bravery makes her stand out)

Trudy: total Hufflepuff. Loyal and hardworking would be her dominant traits, I think - she expects to be brave as part of her job, and the hardwork and loyalty have more meaning for her.

Jake: Gryffindor - he's so very much with the 'stupidly brave' side.

Camille: Slytherin. Total, total Slytherin. She is ambitious and ruthless and I can't see her anywhere else.

Medusa:...um. Hufflepuff? I think?

Esfir: Can't decide between Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.

Lola: Hufflepuff.

[camwyn]

Medic goes straight to Slytherin. The man's lifelong dream is to bitchslap Death and make it stick. That's pretty frickin' ambitious.

Mordin, Ravenclaw. It's probably a pretty common House for salarians. Captain Kirrahe from game 1 would've been Gryffindor but Mordin's totally Ravenclaw.

Varric I'm not sure of. I'm thinking maybe Gryffindor, although the fact that he flips out more at being betrayed than at being put in danger kinda leans vaguely in the Hufflepuff direction. Then again, Hufflepuffs are into hard work, which isn't quite his style....

Gordon's just sort of sighing at me and holding out one hand for the red and gold scarf, because even though he knows that he spends most of his combat time terrified down to the bone, he keeps going and that's probably a Gryffindor thing.

As for Adrian, he would like me to point out that the Marine Corps motto is "semper fucking fidelis, look it up, bitches," and thus will be over in the Hufflepuff corner.

Arcade is probably Ravenclaw; he's got too many issues diverting his attention for him to be properly Slytherin ambitious, and the other two don't fit him.

Fawkes is probably Gryffindor. The only characters in Fallout 3 more Gryffindor than him are Star Paladin Cross and Dogmeat, frankly.

Ray's kinda hard to peg after all this time; if someone else has a recommendation I'd be glad to hear it. Probably Gryff, though, considering.

Belar claims exemption on the grounds that as Bear God of the Alorns he is too freaking awesome for the Hat.

And Ellen's either Gryffindor (in the "courage is not the absence of fear; courage is in the going on" sense) or Hufflepuff, given how willingly she'll deal with insanely hard work and how abhorrent she finds disloyalty.

[minkhollow]

I think as an 11-year-old Ray probably would've ended up in Ravenclaw. But these days he's got quite a Gryffindor thing going on.

[hey35andholding]

Clementine has been Slytherin with Hufflepuff tendencies since she was around the age of eight and hot-wired her first car.

Dixie is much harder personality to sort. She's got Slytherin personality traits, but she's also altruistic, so it's not a comfortable fit. Maybe Ravenclaw (per gypsyjr's suggestion?)? She's courageous enough to be Gryffindor, but too vain/materialistic, so... (And Brisco is so a Gryffindor)

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

I'm suddenly reminded of an all-text icon I see on some fanfic groups from time to time. Something to the effect of:

COWARDLY AS ANYTHING
NO AMBITION TO SPEAK OF
LAZY AS HELL
RAVENCLAW BY DEFAULT.
