Harry Potter fans: Sorting Hat fun!

Post Reply New Topic

So I've been watching Friends a lot lately, and I've been wondering which houses the gang would be sorted into if they went to Hogwarts. I thought Ross might be in Ravenclaw, because he's so smart and loves studying; Phoebe would definitely be in Gryffindor because she's the most adventurous of the group; Joey, too, would probably be in Gryffindor with her because of his strong sense of chivalry (except where women are concerned); Chandler and Monica would probably be in Hufflepuff because they're so nice and unassuming and kind of workaholics; and Rachel would be in Slytherin because - well - she's Rachel...

Whatever. Not to bore anyone too much, but I've come up with a game. (Let me know if it already exists on these boards).

Here's how it works. Post a famous person's name (it could be anyone - actor, character, cartoon, dead person, robot, animal, etc) and the next person to post has to sort them and give a reason why they sorted them into that house before typing another famous person/pet/alien/whoever for the next poster to sort, and so on.

I'll start.

Yoda from Star Wars

I think Yoda would be in Ravenclaw because he's smart and wise.

Homer Simpson

Hufflepuff because that's where they put those who aren't particularly smart, brave or cunning. Though by no means a hard worker, he has the Hufflepuff loyalty to his family.


George Kirrin of Enid Blyton's Famous Five

Gryffindor. She's brave and daring and a total tomboy.
