Is it sick that I want to do Bonanza? Tell me it’s not sick. [deep breath] Here goes: Ben - Gryffindor Adam - Ravenclaw - he went to college back east, didn’t he? Hoss- Hufflepuff, but maybe Gryffindor. I’m thinking he’s got some traits in common with Neville. Little Joe - Hmm, this is tough. I guess Gryffindor. Hop Sing - Hufflepuff Yes, yes, I sorted Hop Sing from Bonanza into a Hogwarts house! ---

Ooh, ooh, Gilligan’s Island! That makes perfect sense! 😃 An island full of Hufflepuffs, with the exception of the Professor (Ravenclaw), and I think Ginger always seemed like a conniving Slytherin. ---

Okay, i’m not too strong on the Pottervers, so help me sort these 2 franchises; **Battlestar Galactica (new series)**; Commander Adama; Gryffindor Starbuck; Gryffindor Lt Tigh; Ravenclaw Baltar; Hufflepuff Number Six; Slytherin Helo; Gryffindor now for the tough one… Boomer; if you go by what she is _genetically/programmed to be_, clearly Slytherin, but when she’s in Meatbag-mode, i’d say Hufflepuff, loyal, hard worker who values family/freinds (add in others i may have forgotten) **Farscape** John Crichton; Ravenclaw Aeryn Sun; Gryffindor Ka’ D’Argo; RavenDor\* Chiana; Hufflepuff P’au Zotoh Zhann; Hufflepuff Jool; Sikozu; Noranti; Stark; Rygel; Slytherin, definitely Slytherin… Pilot; Hufflepuff Scorpius; another tough one, going by his _actions_, Slytherin, but if you look past his actions to his intentions, they’re noble, he simply wants to protect the Sebecean race from the Scarrans, so i’d say Gryffindor Harvey; Hufflepuff Talyn; Moya; Crais; Braca; Commandant Cleavage…errr Grayza; Slytherin War Minister Ahkna; Slytherin (and i think _her_ hat would utterly terrify the poor Sorting Hat, Hat Lady’s a scary piece of work) Emperor Staleek; Slytherin lets not even bring up Bizzaro-Moya… 😉 (\*he’s a tough one to place as well, the “warrior” instinct of Gryffindor, the cunning and intelligence of Ravenclaw) ---

After a great deal of thought (and consultation with Himself), I give you: **Looney Tunes** Bugs – Gryffindor Daffy – Gryffindor Marvin – Slytherin Sylvester – Hufflepuff Tweety – Slytherin (Yes, I think Tweety is both smart _and_ evil.) 😉 Taz – Slytherin Pepe’ Le Pew – Gryffindor Yosemite Sam – Slytherin Granny – Hufflepuff Foghorn Leghorn – Gryffindor Henery Hawk - Slytherin or Gryffindor (I can’t decide.) Elmer Fudd – Hufflepuff (Not truly evil & very loyal, really.) Marc Antony – Gryffindor Porky Pig – Hufflepuff Road Runner – Ravenclaw Wile E. Coyote – Hufflepuff (Also not evil & very dedicated.) Michigan J. Frog – Ravenclaw (Knows when to keep his mouth shut!) Speedy Gonzales – Gryffindor Cecil Turtle – Hufflepuff Beaky Buzzard – Slytherin Witch Hazel - Slytherin “Th-th-th-that’s All, Folks!” ---

Teen Titans… TV Version: Robin - Gryffindor or Ravenclaw Raven - Ravenclaw, although family connections might make the hat try to talk her into Slytherin…even after Harry, I doubt the hat’d be ready for the reaction to that, though. \>\_\> Beast Boy - Gryffindor or Hufflepuff Starfire - Gryffindor Cyborg - Nerdy enough for Ravenclaw, brave and loyal enough for Gryffindor, hard working enough for Hufflepuff. I think Gryffindor is the strongest, though. Comics (current) Robin - Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, again. Raven - Gryffindor, though the hat would probably consider Slytherin. Beast Boy - Gryffindor, although this version might fit in in Ravenclaw. Starfire (Technically an Outsider now, but I still think of her as a Titan) - Gryffindor Cyborg - Gryffindor, although the hat might consider Ravenclaw. Kid Flash - Ravenclaw - he’s got the attention span of a gnat, but more than enough brains to overcome that, and when he puts his mind to something, he can get it done with no problem. Superboy - Gryffindor. Wonder Girl - Gryffindor. Speedy - Gryffindor, although she wouldn’t be out of place in Hufflepuff, either. Oh, heck, let’s do the Outsiders while we’re here… Nightwing - Gryffindor. Arsenal - Gryffindor. Thunder - Tough one. Bright enough to be Ravenclaw. Her courage and drive to do good would speak well of her as a Gryffindor. Her desire to prove herself would suggest Slytherin. Like Harry, she could probably get into whichever house she wanted. Shift - Gryffindor, just for his loyalty to his friends. Jade - Can’t call her loyal enough for Gryffindor. \>\_\> Eh…that one little blip can be overlooked, since she fits even worse into the other houses. Grace - Hufflepuff, or perhaps Slytherin. Indigo - _snif_ Gryffindor - you couldn’t find a braver, more loyal friend than Indigo. But the hat might see B8, and try to stick her in Slytherin. ---

**Tengu.** Hawkman is pretty much a Gryffindor in all incarnations Flash (Barry) is in Ravenclaw Aquaman is a Gryffindor Steel is in Ravenclaw IMO, Plastic Man should be in Slytherin based on body type alone. The cast of LOST GRYFFINDORS Jack Michael Jin Hugo (Hurley) Sayid RAVENCLAWS Sun Rose HUFFLEPUFFS Artz Boone Charlie Claire Steve Walt SLYTHERINS Locke Sawyer Shannon Kate Danielle The Others \*like Hermione, I almost put Sayid in Ravenclaw \*\* Walt is either a Hufflepuff or a Gryffindor. He’s potentially a Slytherin. ---

> [@Askia](#): > > **Tengu.** Hawkman is pretty much a Gryffindor in all incarnations > Flash (Barry) is in Ravenclaw > Aquaman is a Gryffindor > Steel is in Ravenclaw Steel slipped my mind. (Not that I was going to a comprehensive list of members, anyway.) You’re definitely right about him in Ravenclaw, though. I’ve _got_ Barry in Ravenclaw and Aquaman in Gryffindor, so I’m not sure why you bring them up…_scratches head_ As to Hawkman. Katar’s definitely Gryffindor, I agree. Carter could fit in Gryffindor, but he also has elements that would suggest Ravenclaw (unless his history has been screwed with more than I know). Then there’s Fel Andar, who I don’t know enough about to come up with anything. (Although checking, he comes across as a definite Slytherin.) A few more random members: Firestorm: Ravenclaw Mr Miracle: Gryffindor G’nort: Hufflepuff Oracle: Ravenclaw ---

Dr. Benton Quest Race Bannon Apache Chief Shaggy Scooby Boo-Boo bear Shoyu Weenie The Neptunes Fred Flinstone X the Eliminator Ernie Devlin Inch-High Private Eye Speed Buggy ahh what the heck, lets classify **Invader Zim** as well… Zim; clearly Slytherin, but an incompetent Slytherin Gir; Hufflepuff (is there a Potterverse classification for the insane? 😉 ) The Almighty Tallest; Slytherin Tak; Slytherin (actually i figure we can classify most Irkens as Slytherin) Dib; Gryffindor Gaz; she seems like a Slytherin at first glance, but i think she’s really Hufflepuff, most of her “Slytherin” feel comes from her hatred of her stupid brother and how he always messes up things for her Professor Membrane; Ravenclaw, clearly anyone who invents SuperToast™ is highly intelligent Ms. Bitters; another one who seems like a Slytherin at first glance, but if her students would simply calm down, be quiet and actually _learn_, i think you’d find she’s really a Hufflepuff [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/into-which-hogwarts-house-would-_____-be-sorted/312656.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/into-which-hogwarts-house-would-_____-be-sorted/312656.md?page=3)
