DE: It's a certain kind of magic

[bjornwilde]

And to continue in the classification theme, from minkhollow :
Another one we haven't done in a long time (brought to you by the common threads, as this is another of mine): What Hogwarts House would your character be in? For those from the Potterverse canon already, did the Sorting Hat consider another placement for them?

And for those whom haven't read the books or seen the movies, here is a run down of the Houses or a handy quiz to sort for you!

[nomorekaraoke]

Oh, and for a more detailed spec:

Hufflepuff - 15
Ravenclaw - 12
Gryffindor - 11
Slytherin - 8

[ladysingsthe]

HIIIIIII

Nice to see you!

(Puck- and Ava-mun here. :D)

[jjprobert]

Jack would be a Gryffindor, no question. One of his most remarked upon attributes, is a refusal to give in, even when the odds are completely against him.

Erik Selvig, would be a Ravenclaw.

Alfred is probably my most awkward, for this. Probably a Hufflepuff. Or a Gryffindor.

[kd7sov]

Felix... actually, most of mine are Gryffindor leaning Hufflepuff. I'm not sure about Cranky, but...

Felix is just on the Gryffindor side, mostly because of Hufflepuff's emphasis on group cohesiveness and his preference for working on his own.

Fluttershy is a Gryffindor for much the same reasons as Neville. See Also.

Kain is a bit tougher, but I think his combination of "I'm no good" and "I've got to be all that I can be" is more Gryffindor than anything else. Kain is, in many ways, a very difficult character for me to analyze.

Cranky, on reflection, might do rather well in Ravenclaw. He's not so much into knowledge for knowledge's sake, but he does have a breadth of experience and the typical 'Claw loner attitude.

[venusadept_2]

You know, it occurs to me. Quite a lot of transformative stuff happened to Felix in the second half of his second decade. I bet if you were to test him at the age of 11, he'd be pretty solidly Hufflepuff.

[minkhollow]

(LJ, I just want to be able to comment on Yuletide coordination posts! WHY DO YOU HATE ME. Relatedly, would anyone perhaps be able to pass on my nomination list to the nom-organising post?)

Anyway. ON TO THE QUESTION.

Cata: Either Slytherin or Ravenclaw, I can never quite decide which.
Sam: Hufflepuff, much to his surprise. He'd be expecting Slytherin.
Claudia: Hufflepuff, also for the surprise factor. She's definitely smart enough to pull off Ravenclaw, but her defining trait is her attachment to her family (chosen or otherwise) and willingness to defend them to the death.
Apollo: Probably also 'puff.
Imp: Slytherin, actually. "One day they will say I was the greatest musician who ever lived." You don't say something like that without a good deal of ambition.
Regulus: Canon Slytherin, but the way I play him the Sorting Hat was sorely tempted to put him in Ravenclaw. But in light of the trouble Sirius had gotten for bucking the trend, Regulus was worried his mother would actually kill him at Christmas hols if he went for it. He's in Slytherin on the grounds of self-preservation more than anything else.
Red: Gryffindor, which makes her the first one I've apped and the second one I've considered (the first was Blackmail from Villains By Necessity; he's a Gryffindor to the core). Ruby has a few more Hufflepuff tendencies, but I think she'd still end up in Gryffindor if considered separately. (Oh, OUaT, how you make these things tricky.)

[ceitfianna]

LJ is being odd. I was on the brainstorming post and sometimes I could comment to a person and other times I couldn't. I am not ready to decide on my nominations, its so hard to pick.

[a1enzo]

Tied for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. The Hat would probably leave the final decision up to his own inclination, so it'd ultimately depend on what mood he was in at the moment.

[ceitfianna]

Oh, I like this one and its quite easy for me to do.

Will is very much a Gryffindor.

Charles is a Ravenclaw or possibly a Hufflepuff. He's a tricky one to decide as he doesn't easily fit into the rubric.

Sameth is a Ravenclaw though the rest of his family are Gryffindors in my opinion. That's how I play it in AU!Hogwarts.

Jane is a Gryffindor.

Moist is a Ravenclaw, he could almost end up in Slytherin but his ambitions aren't that big.

William is a Gryffindor.

Demeter is a Hufflepuff.

Tumnus is a Hufflepuff.

The Pirate King is a Gryffindor with some Slytherin leanings, he has odd ambition.

Also whenever I take these quizzes, I almost always end up in Gryffindor, sometimes in Ravenclaw. According to the linked quiz, I'm in Ravenclaw. And its interesting that my pups are fairly balanced among three houses. An edit because I looked at the number breakdown from the quiz which lines up well with my pups.

Ravenclaw - 12
Hufflepuff - 11
Gryffindor - 11
Slytherin - 6

[genarti]

Thor is the Gryffindoriest Gryffindor ever to Gryffindor down the pike. (I actually saw a crossover fic that postulated that Godric Gryffindor was Thor in disguise and Salazar Slytherin was Loki, that's how firmly Sorted these two are.)

River is Ravenclaw. Although she'd fit into Gryffindor pretty well too.

Clare is... hmm. You could make a good case for either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, and I'm not totally sure which wins out. Probably Hufflepuff by a nose.

Regan is also Ravenclaw.

Trowa is... difficult! You could honestly make a case for every house. I lean slightly towards Hufflepuff for the patience and loyalty, I guess.

[jothra]

Are you kidding. Trowa is like a perfect Slytherin!!

Maybe he is a Slytherpuff.

A Huffarin?

[gavin62truck]

No surprise:

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Slytherin - 14
Gryffindor - 13 (at least it was only one point away)
Ravenclaw - 9
Hufflepuff - 6

[abitofawildman]

Raphael is a Gryffindor for all the wrong reasons.
Michaelangelo is a Hufflepuff for all the right ones.

I think Aang'd be a Hufflepuff too.

The Loompas are in Slytherin, along with I think Bumi. Though...maybe Bumi would be Gryffindor. It's hard to say.

Splinter is totally Slytherin.

[saphyria]

Yrael is Ravenclaw, with Slytherin a close second. Cleverness, wit, and cunning resourcefulness, but without any of the ambition. (He's so smart, but also terribly lazy.)

Zelgadiss is Slytherin. He's been known to turn on his friends (albeit with reluctance) if he thinks it'll get him what he wants.

Sunshine is a Hufflepuff, with a couple of little tinges of Gryffindor (Puffindor? Hufflegryff?). She's loyal, hard-working and even harder-headed, but with untapped wells of bravery and recklessness she's surprised to find exist.

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Bilbo and Stuart are both Slytherin.

Merlin is Ravenclaw.

Steve, while he would be assigned Gryffindor, would also make a good Hufflepuff.

The Green Man is hanging out in the Forbidden Forest or making friends with the Whomping Willow.

Amascut likes this

[death_gone_mad]

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Wait, what?
Your in-depth results are:

Gryffindor - 16
Slytherin - 13
Ravenclaw - 10
Hufflepuff - 4

These results fit more with how she thinks of herself, but I could have sworn she would be sorted into Slytherin. She almost was, but I think her sense of justice, as odd as it is, got her into Gryffindor.

[bjornwilde]

Ben Grimm would be Hufflepuff with Gryffindor a close second.
Hank McCoy is Ravenclaw because science will solve anything.
Mars smirks at your mortal attempts to classify him.
Beast Boy would be either Slytherin or Gryffindor, hard to say really.
Palamedes in canon would be straight up Gryffindor but in my head canon he'd lean towards Ravenclaw.

Val von Doom would be Ravenclaw with Gryfindor a close second.
Kate Kane is Gryffindor.
Thalia would be Gryffindor though the sorting hat would be tempted to put her in Slytherin due to her hero's flaw.
Julie is Hufflepuff. I'd be tempted to go with Gryffindor but I think her loyalty to her friends is her driving force.
Jessica Drew is Slytherin with leanings towards Gryffindor.

[bjornwilde]

I couldn't resist the test for Ben and big surprise he was on the knife edge between Gryffindor and Hufflepuf:
Gryffindor - 14
Hufflepuff - 13
Ravenclaw - 12
Slytherin - 8

[aberration]

This is actually one where I feel like I have a complete set!

I play Asami as a Ravenclaw. Like anyone, she has qualities of all the Houses, but I tend to focus narratively on her seeking and appreciating knowledge, possibly to a fault.

Leslie, though she might deny it, is a Hufflepuff. Though she's also ambitious, knowledge-seeking, and bold, I think her intense loyalty and... nearly inhuman work ethic are what win out in the end.

I like to think of Manny as a quintessential Slytherin hero. He's hugely competitive and ambitious, and not at all above bending the rules or generally being a sneaky, conniving asshole to get what he wants. It's just that sometimes what he wants, despite how he might try to convince himself and others otherwise, is pretty altruistic. Or at least involves true love. And while he can be sneaky and conniving, he's also not malicious, and uses the power he seeks in a way that's generally helpful to others.

And weirdly, Elle is my Gryffindor. I just have no other place for her. Sure, she can be very loyal, but in plenty of cases she's been deceptive for her own needs. And while she has lacked empathy toward others (though to her great consternation, it's growing in her), this is not due pursuing her own self-interest - her lack of empathy toward others was rooted a lot more in her own lack of it toward herself, and she has no ambition to speak of. But bold? Brave? Reckless (especially if X isn't around)? Yep, that's all her.

[haole_cop]

Emma and Caspian fall firmly in the Gryffindor hat.

Jack would likely end up in Hufflepuff, along with Danny.

Wolfwood is Slytherin through and through.

My one Ravenclaw would have been Anne Shirley, back in the day, but I don't think any of the others qualify.

[visible_sariel]

As off topic as an off topic thing: You were Anne Shirley-mun? Ooooooh squee! Anne was before my time, bar-wise, but good gosh. I grew up on those stories!

Now I'm wishing we had a Shirley Blythe in the bar. Oops? What is it with me and [spoilery spoilers] anyway?

[innerbrat]

I definitely have a full set! Mine are fairly evenly spread, despite on the surface having a thing for Gryffindors.

Gryffindors:
Dinah, Renee,

Also from MM:
Maggie Murdock, Leah Ross, Dick Grayson

Hufflepuffs
Will Turner, Death

Ravenclaws
Niccolo Machiavelli, Teresa of the Faint Smile, Marguerite Blakeney

Sytherin
Melaka Fray (she was sorted after her brother, and demanded to be put in the same house as him); Floyd Lawton

MM: Jason Todd

[inlovewithwords]

Henry's close to a Ravenclaw, but he's also fairly given to being very Gryffindor like. He'd probably end up Gryffindor? But he'd enjoy either. Actually, he almost reminds me of Luna in some ways, minus the complete quirky.

Lois is a Gryffindor. No, really.

Tavi rides a few lines fairly closely. But really? Slytherin. He's determined as hell, clever, manipulative, can be cold-bloodedly pragmatic, and has ambition. He's a good guy, reckless, brave, with integrity and a strong sense of justice; he loves his academics/thirst for knowledge and is a brilliant scholar; and he's deeply loyal to his family and anyone/thing he feels responsible for. But he's a Slytherin.

[varadia]

Hufflepuff:

X-23. She wants to protect people. And friends are important.
Dean Winchester. Have you see him with his family? He's got loyalty in spades, and it kind of runs the rest of his life.
Galadan. He is the Angriest Hufflepuff, nowadays. When he gives his affection or friendship, he really gives it pretty completely. No take-backs. Sometimes this is a problem.

Slytherin:

Flemeth. It's all lies, deception, and misdirection, at least until she bites your head off.
Galadan (pre- and mid-canon). He is the King of long-term planning while using others as game pieces
Raven. Sneaky Bugger.
Michael the Archangel. She likes to bend the rules. A lot.

Ravenclaw:

Sam Tyler. Just look at his devotion to his kind of policing. 'nuff said.

Gryffindor:

Wonder Woman. *hands*

[ceitfianna]

I love Galadan as the Angriest Hufflepuff and a badger seems like a good animal analogy for him.

[boston_bruiser]

Voodoo's a Gryffindor.

(Though he tied for Hufflepuff in that quiz. WTF.)

[ceitfianna]

Remember though Hufflepuffs are badgers, they don't let go and are all about loyalty. It makes a little more sense that way.

[bbq_platypus]

Jim would be difficult to sort, but it's clear he'd either be a Hufflepuff or a Gryffindor, leaning more towards the former than the latter.

It's frankly laughable to even think of McCabe getting accepted into Hogwarts. He would very much like to be a Slytherin, and fancies himself as such, but I'm not sure if they'd have him.

Borgel is also either a Hufflepuff or Gryffindor.

Leela would probably be a Gryffindor.

Kane is so obviously Slytherin it hurts.

Atrus is a Ravenclaw.

[thenewblack]

Artemis is, well let's be honest here. For all the jumping into danger and everything else she's probably Slytherin. A very Gryffindor Slytherin, but Slytherin none the less.

Ako is a Hufflepuff. Like so many other supporting characters.

Robo is a Gryffindor with strong Ravenclaw tendencies. You can't escape those growing up in Mr. Tesla's lab or a world with a high level of pulp science.

Tyler Darrow is my current Ravenclaw. Mostly because anyone who can work backwards from bail records to the existence of vampires and then not gear up to try and fight them pretty much has to end up there.

[hecu_marine]

Haven't really bothered to figure it out for most of them but I've always known that Shephard would end up Hufflepuff. Mostly because the one time I considered the possibility of Gryffindor Shephard's response was "Semper fucking fidelis, asshole. Look it up."

[mm_mythos]

Rabastan is a Slytherin, though he says he's admittedly not much of one. Or, at least, perhaps not what immediately comes to mind when you think "Slytherin". Given his loyalty to his family, he wonders if he ought to have been put in Hufflepuff.

Megabyte, on the other hand, could give Slytherins lessons on ambitions, plotting, scheming and thinking big, so that's where he'd go.

Matrix would get tossed into Gryffindor because all the other Houses would be afraid to take him in. And Ravenclaw has no real use for dumb brawn [shut up Matrix].

Xamot and Tomax would be sorted before the Hat even touched their heads - Slytherin.

Rad would probably sort Ravenclaw or Gryffindor - it's really a toss-up.

Strength, Wheel and Unicron [especially Unicron, who thinks such things as House sorting is for lesser beings] defy your House system and make their own way in the world. Though Strength would be honoured to be sorted Gryffindor if she had to be sorted.

[a1enzo]

Be interesting if Matrix were in Gryffindor and Enzo were in Hufflepuff. Less of a difference in their actual qualities than in their self-image.

[yakalskovich]

Poins: Slytherin

Teja: Gryffindor

Urquhart: Slytherin

Antinoos: Syltherin

[visible_sariel]

This lady here is pretty well a Hufflepuff, though I admit she has some Ravenclaw tendencies. :)

I, on the other hand, am such a Gryffindor... a Hermione-type one as far as some rules go, but all the same. :)
