Nobody other than J.K.Rowlingknows the precise bit of students that have made their way through the halls of Hogwarts through the centuries . Dozens upon hundred of new scholar enroll in the schooltime annually as a battalion of infant - faced eleven - year - olds make their mode down the Great Hall at the beginning of each twelvemonth to front the Sorting Hat .
With that many students attend a wizarding school for over a millenary , and having only four different household to sort the child into , it ’s only instinctive to wonder where some of our favorite crone and virtuoso may have end up if not in the houses we know them for . Take a tone at our list of secondary star sign for the main character ofHarry Potter .
Luna Lovegood - Gryffindor
astonishingly , thequirky and out - there Luna Lovegood(whom we all know as a Golden Eagle ) is the only member of this list that would ’ve traded up to the Golden Lions . twist out the house that Godric built is imposingly talented at blueprint in the first round of drinks , but they by all odds lose out on a good one with Luna .
She may have been difficult to treat at time with her intelligence stumbling over her personality , but anytime her friends want her Luna was more than unforced to assist - sounds like a Gryffindor to us . Plus , she ’s already start the blond mane .
Neville Longbottom - Hufflepuff
Pretty much everybody interpret this one coming . It ’s nothing against Neville , there have been some awing Hufflepuffs throughout Hogwarts history and it ’s a pity that the house gets such a uncollectible rap , but Neville was just never meant to assume grim or green robes .
He sincerely showed his Gryffindor - sized courage while being torment by Death - Eaters during his seventh year of schoolhouse and stunned everybody when he killed Voldemort ’s Hydra Nagini during the Battle of Hogwarts , but it would be moderately safe to assume that had Neville grow up a normal small fry and not during the era of the Wizarding War , the Sorting Hat probably would ’ve put on him with the badger allegory instead .
Fred & George Weasley - Slytherin
Two of the biggest pranksters to ever fly heather through the halls of Hogwarts ? Not a huge shocker here . Had their names not been ' Weasley ' , the Sorting Hat probably would ’ve chosen to relegate them to the dungeon common - elbow room .
It obviously did n’t matter since our favorite yoke of fervency - manoeuvre Gemini the Twins decide that teaching was n’t the right path for them , and that certainly would ’ve ferment out if not for a couple of bumps in the route by a few Death - Eaters . perchance if the duet had been separate into Slytherin , they could ’ve made nice with the Voldemort devotee - boys .
Ginny Weasley - Ravenclaw
Make no mistake : every Weasley might be a Gryffindor by default , but Ginny was born - and - bred to assume the red - and - amber . Everything about her roars Golden Lion , but had the Sorting Hat taken a crazy turn and decided that she was better off in a different house , the only satisfactory stand-in would be Ravenclaw .
She may have been an all - star athlete and had an impressive bent for mastering difficult charm , but Ginny was also one of the bright of her twelvemonth . Combine that with her witty , confident personality and you could bet she ’d be play seeker for Rowena ’s sign of the zodiac in no time .
Severus Snape - Ravenclaw
This one was a little tricky because disregarding of which side of the fencing the consultation sitson Snape , he ’s a fictional character like Ginny in the fact that there was never any question which planetary house he belong in . That said , and despite all the plus or negative thing about Snape , he realize a spot on a Ravenclaw rough-cut - room couch for one reason : he out - smarted Voldemort .
Whether Snape ’s fixation with Lily Potter was wild-eyed or creepy , it ultimately go to him being capable to outfox one of the deadliest wizard ’s to ever be produce by J.K. Rowling ’s imaging , and that means he ’s smart enough to fly with the gloomy - coat .
Voldemort - Started His Own
Try and change our minds . Honestly - does anybody believe that Tom Marvolo Riddle , Lord Voldemort , heir to Salazar Slytherin himself , would have stood for anything other than the snake in the grass emblem slithering across his robes ?
Had the Sorting Hat made that fatal mistake , Tom Riddle would ’ve been the last mortal to take it session - down and most probable would ’ve endeavor to insist his charming dominance by create his own menage . To a certain degree , he did still kind of do that : what were the Death - Eaters if not members of the Voldemort house ? Riddle for your thoughts .
Albus Dumbledore - Slytherin
How manyHarry Potterfans are we go to untune with this one ? Argue all you want that Dumbledore ’s folksy and quirky personality deserves him a seat in Hufflepuff . Complain all you’re able to about how his superior intellect and power to manipulate patch and magic would bring in him a right to baby-sit at Ravenclaw ’s table . None of that matter when you have a backstory as tragic as Hogwart ’s greatest headmaster .
His father died in Azkaban for seeking retaliation against a radical of Muggles that had attacked his child - sister until she was mentally handicapped . Any tiddler who lives through such an experience must have at least a little unregistered hatred in their nitty-gritty . Dumbledore was as close to hone as they come up , but the Sorting Hat could have well mail him down the amiss path .
Hermione Granger - Ravenclaw
Not a particularly unmanageable quality to resort , it ’s debatable that the only reason Hermione was in Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw in the first stead was that J.K. Rowling postulate her to be . While the mangy - haired genius was absolutely the brainy witch among the master cast of characters , other than being loyal she really did n’t have many other Gryffindor trait , and even that one , candidly , enforce more to Hufflepuff .
She seldom wanted to take part in dangerous undertaking that were severe and ordinarily only did so in monastic order to check that Harry was safe . Despite her abilities to prove her worth at every good turn , it ’s scarce debatable that Hermione ’s mentality belong among the Golden Eagles .
Ron Weasley - Hufflepuff
Do n’t worry , Neville , at least you would ’ve had Ron ’s caller in your new house . The goofy ginger who was paste to Harry ’s side for seven years would ’ve fit seamlessly into the black - and - gold Wisconsinite clan . Ron was an immaculate best friend and rightfully deserved his smear as a Gryffindor after all of the things that he went through just because there were n’t any other useable seats on the Hogwarts Express .
But have ’s not forget that he clumsily stumbled his way through every one of them and just happened to set ashore correct - side - up . You were a great friend , Ron , despite the fact you were never really able-bodied to talk Harry out of doing something stupid .
Harry Potter - Slytherin
The Sorting Hat say it himself - " you would ’ve done well in Slytherin . " To be fair , that was believably only because Harry had a sliver of Voldemort ’s soul living inside him , but nevertheless , the - boy - who - lived was always Dumbledore ’s gentleman , through - and - through , and he would ’ve come down the same , slippery shell as his wise man had he not been sent to roam among the plains of the Golden Lions .
Harry may have been smart , patriotic , and the best Defense Against the Dark - Arts scholar the universe has ever seen , but in decree to take down the most malicious , cunning thaumaturge the world had ever seen , Harry himself had to see that . It may have been a secure metaphor for children , J.K. , but anyone who could sympathize with You - Know - Who has to have a little venom in them .
