Except this time, we focus on what each character values and not just the traits they display!

Edmund Pevensie as a Hufflepuff

Everyone loves to judge Edmund's whole personality and values off of the Turkish delight incident, but hear me out. After reigning as a king of Narnia for many years, it is said that he became known as Edmund the Just. He was completely changed by what he learned through Aslan's sacrifice; he valued second chances (see The Horse and his Boy); he took great care to be loyal to those who had proven they cared for him (after TLTWTW, he never doubts Lucy).

Lucy Pevensie as a Gryffindor

If you've read the books, you know that Lucy not only gets courage from Aslan, she also is told by him that if she were any braver, she would be a lioness. Aslan puts Lucy through trials of bravery because he knows her love for him overrides any fear or doubt that she, or her siblings, may have. Yes, she's loyal, but she values courage. If it's a struggle for you, but you still are willing to try, then you value that trait.

I've also heard people say Lucy is a Hufflepuff because she found Narnia and Hufflepuffs are good finders, but one of the themes of the books is that you can't just go looking for Narnia and find it. Digory tells the children this when they come back the first time. You are able to go by being called there.

Peter Pevensie as a Hufflepuff (with Gryffindor tendencies?)

I feel like it's a little less clear what Peter actually values, but I say that he does value responsibility and honor. He is brave- Aslan didn't give Peter a choice of whether or not he was to become the High King of Narnia, it was just instantly a thing that Peter had to accept. That came with a lot of responsibilities, on top of the "oldest child looking after the younger ones" vibe he gives off. Still, under all that pressure, he makes himself rise to the occasion and sees Narnia through it's Golden Age, carrying himself and his responsibilities with dignity.

SPOILERS FOR THE LAST BATTLE BELOW!!

Susan Pevensie as... a squib.

staying with your girlfriend closest friend in a foreign continent for two weeks before effectively promising to never see them again, contacting only through online scrabble bc you can’t even risk the possibility her nemesis could track her down and then kill her should you keep direct contact with her?

i think jj was tired— tired of being so far away from emily, tired of keeping this huge secret to herself (hotch didn’t know they stayed in contact), tired of seeing everyone suffer while she knew, tired of knowing that emily was all alone but there was nothing she could do to help

and with reid, her little brother, especially

he went to her apartment crying for ten weeks? how many times did she hold him as he sobbed into her shoulder, curling around him until his wails stopped and he slept in nightmares of seeing emily die over and over? how many times did she drop by his apartment to make sure he was eating, drinking, sleeping, functioning? how many times did she watch him break out into fits of anger, lashing out at everyone and himself for not moving fast enough for emily? how many times did she realize she was responsible for his suffering?

but it wasn’t like she could tell anyways. if she told anyone else, there was no guarantee people would stay quiet, and emily would be in peril all over again.

“i did it for emily,” jj says.

 KNEES ARE PULLED UP to his chest once he settles properly  just by stan’s  side,  and  squinting ‘gainst the afternoon sun,  georgie raises his head toward the sky & the trees that loomed overheard.  he catches a glimpse of the  bright blue bird  stan’s looking at through his binoculars.   urgently,  as if his whispers might scare the bird away,  georgie turns to him and hisses:  “stan! stan, what kind of bird is that? it’s so pretty!”  the little one turned his head back to the sky,   and muttered the inquiry more to HIMSELF  than to the other:  “’re you supposed to name the birds, too, when you’re bird-watching?”
