What Hogwarts houses would the pets be sorted into?

Post by CanzetYote »

"HP" stands for Housepets but it also stands for Harry Potter which got me thinking: What houses would the characters be sorted into if they were in the Harry Potter universe?

I could easily see Peanut, Grape, Kevin, Marvin, Fido and Bailey being in Gryffindor.

Bino, Tiger, Maxwell, Jessica, Duchess and Keene would most likely be in Slytherin.

Fox and Res would most likely be in Ravenclaw.

Zach, Mungo and Joey would be a good fit for Hufflepuff.

Where would King, Sasha and the rest of the cast fit? What are your thoughts?

I think King would be Gryffindor, Sasha would be Hufflepuff, and Tarot and Sabrina would both be Ravenclaw.

I feel like King would be in Ravenclaw because he's smart and practical and hates to be the hero.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

^ good point. He does use cold logic more often than I realized.

Also, now that I think about it: Marvin would make a better Hufflepuff than a Gryffindor. He's got one of THE most neutral personalities of the cast.

i still want to know what a hufflepuff even is. the other three are atleast relatively obvious animal puns.
Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

Hufflepuff is what you are when you're neither brave, smart or ambitious.

It's the name of the founder, probably some word JK Rowling came up with that sounded funny

The animal is a badger, for what it's worth.

Maybe because badgers are huffy and puffy?

It is odd. Ravenclaw is a raven, Slytherin is a snake, Gryffindor is a lion which kind of breaks the pattern but still the name has an animal in it, and then there's Hufflepuf that doesn't fit the patterns or seem to belong anywhere and I think I get it now.

Could be a gryphon, not all depictions of gryphons have beaks, the only real universal constant is the 'cat/bird mashup' bit.

most sources indicate it's a lion, but it's still closer to gryffin than hufflepuff is to badger

Now that I think about it, I can also see Lester in Slytherin, Dallas in Ravenclaw and Rufus in Hufflepuff.

So... Would king periodically attract comments about acting like a muggle instead of ones about acting human?

So here's what I got so far:

Griffyndor: Peanut, Grape, Fido, Bailey, Kevin, Ralph, Satau
Slytherin: Bino, Maxwell, Tiger, Keene, Duchess, Jessica, Lester, Ptah
Ravenclaw: King, Fox, Tarot, Sabrina, Res, Dallas, Terrance
Hufflepuff: Sasha, Joey, Marvin, Zach, Mungo, Rex

If Celestials were included as House leaders:
Spirit Dragon - Griffyndor
Pete - Slytherin
Great Kitsune - Ravenclaw
Cerberus - Hufflepuff

It's funny because Pete's a griffon and Dragon is a serpent :P
