Sorting Hat Tag Game
Monsters and villains and ghouls, oh my!Ā This October, in the run up to Halloween, take aĀ villain, monster, or ghoulish character (or maybe theyāre just misunderstood!!!)Ā and argue which Hogwarts House you think they belong in! Will they all end up in Slytherin??
Use #sortinghatgame or #sublurbia and tag your friends to play too :)
Character: Sabriel (ghoulish because NECROMANCY) Book:Ā Sabriel (and the Abhorsen series) Author: Garth Nix Genre: Fantasy, YA Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Why that house?Ā
I feel like Sabriel is pretty chill with just entering death and the Old Kingdom with very little preamble once she receives the Heroās 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 ā her picking up the bandolier and sword is pretty similar to when Harry uses Gryffindorās sword.
Also that entire Paperwing scene, where sheās basically like āI have no idea what Iām shit I hopes this worksā and then executes the entire thing flawlessy, is very Gryffindor!!
What would be their Halloween costume?Ā Ok so maybe itās just my current video game obsessions, but Iām imagining her dressed as Mercy from Overwatch, and hitting Touchstone over the head with a home-made caduceus staff saying āHEROES NEVER DIEā and heās likeĀ āyou resurrected me ONE TIME!!ā
Would they make it to the end of a horror movie?Ā 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 Iād say she does pretty well.
