Monsters and villains and ghouls, oh my! This October, in the run up to Halloween, take a villain, monster, or ghoulish character (or maybe they’re just misunderstood!!!) and argue which Hogwarts House you think they belong in! Will they all end up in Slytherin??

Character: Sabriel (ghoulish because NECROMANCY) Book: Sabriel (and the Abhorsen series) Author: Garth Nix Genre: Fantasy, YA Hogwarts House: Gryffindor

Why that house? 

I feel like Sabriel is pretty chill with just entering death and the Old Kingdom with very little preamble once she receives the Hero’s Call, which suggests both bravery and recklessness, making her more of a Gryffindor type. She takes on the mantel of Abhorsen and hero pretty readily without truly understanding her power – her picking up the bandolier and sword is pretty similar to when Harry uses Gryffindor’s sword.

Also that entire Paperwing scene, where she’s basically like ‘I have no idea what I’m shit I hopes this works’ and then executes the entire thing flawlessy, is very Gryffindor!!

What would be their Halloween costume?  Ok so maybe it’s just my current video game obsessions, but I’m imagining her dressed as Mercy from Overwatch, and hitting Touchstone over the head with a home-made caduceus staff saying “HEROES NEVER DIE” and he’s like ‘you resurrected me ONE TIME!!’

Would they make it to the end of a horror movie? I think she would. To be honest, the Old Kingdom, and the plot of Sabriel, with all its dead and the final battle with Kerrigor, is pretty much a horror movie in itself, and I’d say she does pretty well.

Character: Julian Blackthorn (my poor misunderstood babe) Book: The Dark Artifices series Author: Cassandra Clare

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

Hogwarts House: Slytherin ofc

Why that house? He’s been frequently described as a ruthless person with a ruthless heart, and he’s only interested in his own well-being which is extremely related to his family well-being. What’s more, his strong ideals, his capability of lying without hesitation.. could scare everyone. Because he seems a good person (he is!!) but once you discover what he’s been through and what he could do to get what he wants, he could become a very distant, cynical & tricky guy.

What would be their Halloween costume? I don't actually think he would make an outstanding Halloween costume because he would be so busy helping his siblings with theirs lol but I can imagine him wearing an original one (if he has time), like one who can scare the most, even having an ace up his sleeve so he could surprise everyone.

Would they make it to the end of a horror movie? Absolutely, he’s so good with a crossbow and also he’s a shadowhunter incredibly trained lol besides, he’s so damn clever he would make it with his eyes closed!!

Thank you @rrrhysand for tagging me!!! You’re amazing!

Character: Amren (because she’s mysterious acient one) Book: A court of thorns and roses series Author: Sarah J maas

Genre: Fantasy, YA

Hogwarts House: Slytherin or Gryffindor

Why that house? I couldn’t choose betweeen these two because she stands for main traits of Slytherin and Gryffindor. She’s bold, extremely intelligent, cunning, loyal and fly. She’s seriously the perfect combination!

What would be their Halloween costume? I can imagine her dressing up as a classical glamorous vampire ( she doesn’t have to dress up as anything scary, she’s frightening enough on her own)

Would they make it to the end of a horror movie?  She would, definitely! She’d probably kill the monster (or killer or whatever) by herself. I think there’s nothing she couldn’t bare after the Prison which was literally a horror.

Another @sublurbia challenge!

By Gryffindor, the bravest were Prized far beyond the rest; For Ravenclaw, the cleverest Would always be the best;

For Hufflepuff, hard workers were Most worthy of admission; And power-hungry Slytherin Loved those of great ambition.”

Character: Adam, a.k.a. Frankenstein’s Monster (Yeah, I’m being cheeky.) Book: Frankenstein Author: Mary Shelley Genre: Science fiction/horror Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw

Why that house? Because the guy is smart. He teaches himself to speak and read, ending up sounding educated and reading some pretty deep and philosophic stuff. He’s analytic and logical and fascinated by the world, which would put him pretty squarely in Ravenclaw, but I think he’d have more Hufflepuff friends because they’d care less about his appearance.

What would be their Halloween costume? Something friendly that covers his whole body, because he doesn’t want to scare people. A clown, maybe? Patrick from Spongebob, or whoever the popular kids’ characters are at the moment.

Would they make it to the end of a horror movie? I don’t watch enough horror to really know the tropes of who lives and who dies, but I think from his strength, his brains, and his relative impermeability, he’d probably stand a good chance.

@reading-goblin tagged me. Thank you! This was NOT easy! :D

Character: Jeanine Matthews Book: Divergent Author: Veronica Roth Genre: Science-fiction, Dystopian Hogwarts House: Slytherclaw

Why that house? Ravenclaw would be the obvious choice since she's the leader of Erudite. But I think her ambitions, and the willingness to do anything to achieve them, would put her in Slytherin. So... Slytherclaw

What would be their Halloween costume? The Evil Queen from Snow White. They have a lot in common.

Would they make it to the end of a horror movie? no. She's not badass enough. She's just an ass who is bad. She'll get offed as soon as someone finds a knife

Title: Spies Are Forever (A Tin Can Brothers Musical, not a book but tbh, I just really wanted to sort Curt)

Authors: Joey Richter, Brian Rosenthal and Corey Lubowich

Genre: Cold War Spies (?)

Character: Agent Curt Mega

Hogwarts house: So, I’m torn here between Hufflepuff and Slytherin... going with Hufflepuff. 

Why?: Okay, basically he spends the entire musical mourning his partner, if that’s not loyalty I don’t know what it. He also manages to make himself a little family of crazy, who he’s so protective of, even though they’re all more capable of protecting themselves than he is... 

What do I love most about this character/story?: Uh, everything I guess. His good intentions are so endearing, and his relationship with his friends is so sweet. Plus he’s really smart and resolved, and isn’t portrayed like a sterotypical Hufflepuff, he’s got some issues. And his Mum is the best.

Title: The Tawny Man Trilogy Author: Robin Hobb Genre: Fantasy Character: The Fool Hogwarts House: It was hard choosing, but I believe Hufflepuff suits him the most. He’s a bit of a Ravenclaw too though Why? Loyalty describes him well, I believe.  What do you love most about this character and/or book? He’s such a complex character, he’s really one of his kind.
