What would Wheel of Time characters do in Hogwarts? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 06/05/2018 07:05:33 PM

Aside from, like, totally take over the place so hard Voldemort would hide. They are all Muggle-born, after all, and it is pretty obvious that muggles are superior to wizarding culture, given the ease with which muggle-born adapt to the wizarding world, while even supposed experts on muggle culture, like Mr. Weasly, are totally clueless. Anyway, my question is more to the point of Which House would each major WoT character get sorted into (hopefully with a little more thought about the characters than simply sorting all the Forsaken, Darkfriends and Black sisters into Slytherin)? And if they end up so pathetic that they need to go back to Hogwarts to teach, which (canon) classes would they teach?

Contrariwise, which Ajahs would the various students & faculty at Hogwarts join (Black isn't a whole answer, because they need a real Ajah as well, but specifying which Deatheaters might actually swear to the Shadow and which would balk at that could be interesting)?

Personal thoughts: I honestly believe Egwene would go into Slytherin (to whom I was sort of sympathetic when reading the HP series, just because they seemed to get shit on a lot, and I liked Snape). For good or for ill, she is ambitious, and I seem to recall that being one of their primary characteristics. Aside from a couple of obvious Ravenclaws, I'm basically stuck on Griffindor for, like, ALL the other characters. Although, I wonder, is Ravenclaw really direct parallel for the Brown/White Ajah? Because the Ninja Turtles are all pretty obvious (Leo-Grf, Don-Rvc, Mike-Hfp, Raph-Sly), and Elayne is the closest to Donatello of the main characters, but her other main character trait as defined by fellow characters is suicidal bravery, so she would seem to be Griffendor. Similarly for Nynaeve, whose ethos of service might tempt some to place her in Hufflepuff, but again, re: courage and heroism. I haven't read the books since a year or so after Deathly Hallows was released, so there is also a very strong possibility I am remembering the Houses wrong, or only have a superficial understanding of their respective ethos(es).

Alternatively, into what Houses would you sort the cast of the MCU? The NetflixMCU? The X-men? The Underwhelming Four?


It just occurred to me that this might very well have been a big thing back on wotmania, when I was aggressively indifferent to Harry Potter, and would have been too incensed to participate, engaged as I was in an eternal debate with my younger brother concerning the superiority of our respective favorite fantasy series (I won, once he started reading WoT). Was it? How did that go if it was?
