> [@Pythian\_Habenero](#): > > Drusilla - Would make the Sorting Hat explode. Or whatever house Trelawney was in–make that Ravenclaw, shall we? At that time, before she was turned, she was described wholesome and pure. She wanted to stay true to herself. Being that, she’d probably be hard working and selfless, so I would give her hufflepuff. And since we’re on the topic, I shall do… The O.C. Ryan Atwood Griffendor Marissa Cooper Slytherin due to the fact that she was in drugs and alcohol and had a deceptive side. Julie Cooper Slytherin because she was always climbing the social latter to get ahead Seth Cohen: this is an easy one, Ravenclaw. Summer Roberts: Griffendor Sandy Cohen: I’d say that he’d be a hufflepuff, because he was a due gooder and did everything from the bottom of his heart. Kirsten Cohen: Hufflepuff. ---

I started trying to do Game of Thrones, but gave up when I came up with a good argument that Tyrion Lannister could be sorted into any one of the four houses. Brave? Check. Conniving? Check. Smart? Check. Loyal? Check. ---

> [@edwards\_beard](#): > > Daryl: Ravenclaw… > Hershel: Gryffindor Daryl? _Clever_? No, no way. Daryl is loyal, hardworking, and kind. He is a Hufflepuff. Hershel? Who couldn’t let his wife and kids, WHO WERE FRICKIN’ ZOMBIES, rest in peace, and kept them in the barn endangering his living family? Who had to be dragged away from his farm rather than make a pointless last stand? No, no way. Hershel does not have the moral courage to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. He holds firm, every single time, because he’s too scared of the alternative. Hershel is a Ravenclaw, intelligent and clever, or maybe a Hufflepuff, loyal and hardworking. He is not a Gryffindor. Seriously, big giant _Walking Dead_ season 2 spoilers in there. Be warned. And I’m not up to speed on Season 3 yet, so if I’m wrong, tell me, but don’t spoil my day. > [@otoh](#): > > Sheldon: Ravenclaw > Leonard: Gryffindor > Raj: Ravenclaw > Howard: Slytherin > Penny: Hufflepuff > AFF: Ravenclaw > Bernadette: Ravenclaw Mostly I agree. Leonard pursues Penny through a serious kind of personal bravery. Raj is clever, but a bit of a coward, and is thereby relegated to Hufflepuff. Early-season Howard is kinda evil in his pursuit of women-as-objects, but I just don’t see the kind of personal ambition in Howard Wolowitz, except maybe in his ambition to someday, finally, get laid. I’m not exactly sure where to put him, except maybe Ravenclaw. Penny is indeed hardworking (how long has it been since her last acting gig?) and loyal to her friends, and is totally a Hufflepuff. AFF is singlemindedly loyal to her Penny, but she’s probably more clever than loyal and so I can’t really argue with Ravenclaw. And Bernadette surely is smart enough to be a Ravenclaw, maybe enough to overcome her bravery and hard work in breaking Howard’s chauvinist side and standing up to his mother. But Sheldon in Ravenclaw? No, no way. Sheldon is, above all things, ambitious. He wants to be recognized as the most brilliant person on earth, he suffers no fools, and he refuses to lose at anything, even meaningless arguments. Sheldon Cooper is a Slytherin, full stop. Oh, and [here’s](http://www.mugglenet.com/books/hat_songs.shtml) all of the Sorting Hat songs, for reference. ---

I have to agree with you about Sheldon being in Slytherin. Leonard once said that Sheldon is one lab accident from being a supervillain. So I humbly change my sorting. ---

Also completely agree with Sheldon being a Slytherin. Howard isn’t ambitious enough to be a Slytherin. He’s got only a master’s degree, after all. Maybe a Hufflepuff. ---

Roy Greenhilt: Griffindor Elan: Griffindor Vaarsuvius: Ravenclaw Haley Starshine: A difficult one, but I’ll say Ravenclaw, for lack of any better place to put her.

> [@Izzybella](#): > > Giles at the appropriate age would have gone into Gryffindor. Noooo. What we know of Young Giles suggests Slytherin, and Ravenclaw would always be more appropriate than Gryffindor. > [@](#): > > Angelus would have been Slytherin also, both when he was alive and when he was vamped. Angelus, certainly, but Liam? Liam never struck me as ambitious. He seems more likely to be a ‘we’ve got to put him somewhere, so chuck him in Hufflepuff and hope it rubs off’ than anything else. OK having read more of the thread…LOL, zombie, and I actually posted all of that before…I’ll leave it, and say I still agree with what I said about Spike in my post from 7 years ago. Hmm. Let’s try some DC superheroes… (Probably going to be a lot of Gryffindors, so I won’t list everyone I think is a Gryffindor…) Mixing continuities a bit, but few of the characterizations have changed enough to change house, and those that do I’ve put both. The Trinity: Superman: Gryffindor Batman: Ravenclaw Wonder Woman: Gryffindor Green Lanterns: Mostly Gryffindors, by definition. Possible exceptions: John Stewart: Ravenclaw Soranik Natu: Ravenclaw G’nort: Hufflepuff Sinestro: Slytherin (depending on your interpretation of his motives) Guy Gardner: Slytherin Booster Gold: Slytherin Blue Beetles: Dan: Gryffindor (though the Hat would probably have considered Ravenclaw) Ted: Ravenclaw (with the Hat pondering Gryffindor) Jaime: Hufflepuff (Just barely missing Gryffindor) Batgirls: Barbara Gordon: Ravenclaw Cass Caine: Gryffindor Steph Brown: Gryffindor and Hufflepuff both present themselves as valid. Gryffindor ultimately wins out. Charlie Gage-Radcliffe (better known as Misfit): Hufflepuff Robins: Dick Grayson: Gryffindor Jason Todd: Hufflepuff Tim Drake: Ravenclaw Damien Wayne: Slytherin Flashes: Jay: Ravenclaw (pre-relaunch), Hufflepuff (post-relaunch) Barry: Ravenclaw Wally: Hufflepuff Bart: Ravenclaw Ones who actually might have gone to Hogwarts (or, rather, it’s American equivalent): Zatanna: Gryffindor Zach Zatara: Slytherin Black Alice: Slytherin … Surpriring number of Slytherins when you look at it. ---

This all has the makings of the most epic Harry Potter crossover fanfic in existence. Since I’ve been watching a lot of Supernatural lately: Dean Winchester: Gryffindor (as someone upthread said, most of your dashing heroes will end up there.) Sam Winchester: Ravenclaw Bobby Singer: Hufflepuff Castiel: Tough one. I’ll say Gryffindor, but he also has certain Slytherin characteristics. Crowley/Ruby/Meg/Any demon on the show: Slytherin. Gabriel: Ravenclaw ---

I love this thread… Final Fantasy VII: Cloud: Hufflepuff or Gryffindor…can’t decide Aerith: Gryffindor Zack: Gryffindor Sephiroth: Ravenclaw Tifa: Gryffindor or Hufflepuff Yuffie: Slytherin Vincent: Slytherin Cid: Gryffindor Red XIII: Ravenclaw Barret: Gryffindor Final Fantasy IX: Zidane: Gryffindor Dagger: Ravenclaw Vivi: Hufflepuff Steiner: Hufflepuff Freya: Gryffindor Kuja: Slytherin Fullmetal Alchemist again: Ed: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw following close behind due to his love for alchemy Al: Thought about Huffelepuff, but he’s leaning more toward Gryffindor, with a good dose of Ravenclaw. The only House he has nothing of is Slytherin Mustang: Gryffindor, though he seems like a Slytherin when first introduced Hawkeye: Ravenclaw Winry: Gryffindor Ling: Slytherin, because of all his ambition Hohenheim: Hard core Ravenclaw Scar: Ravenclaw or…heh…Hufflepuff Izumi: Gryffindor Alex Amrstrong: Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, but probably Hufflepuff Olivier Armstrong: Slytherin ---
