animorphs in hogwarts?

[vanouria.livejournal.com]

i'm really sorry if this was discussed before, as i'm sure it's come up somewhere at some point :) what houses do you think the animorphs would be in? i would say the following:

rachel: gryffindor
cassie: hufflepuff
marco: slytherin (or possibly ravenclaw)
ax: ravenclaw

i'm a little up in the air with jake and tobias though. jake for example is very brave but not reckless the way rachel is. i feel like he's a bit of a gryffindor/ravenclaw in the beginning and then turns more towards slytherin towards the end as the decisions he has to make have bigger consequences. as for tobias, possibly hufflepuff as he's extremely loyal but then i also sense ravenclaw from him too. what do you guys think?

I remember this coming up before too, although I can't for the life of me remember where XD

Marco to me is definitely a Slytherin, not a Ravenclaw. Ravenclaws to me are the kind of people who love knowledge and intelligence, and Marco doesn't really value that...at all. He spends waaaaaay too much time sleeping in class to be a Ravenclaw.

Rachel I agree would be Gryffindor. I can't see her in any other houses - her recklessness and fearlessness to me embodies Gryffindor too much.

Cassie's a tricky one for me. Hufflepuff is about loyalty and hard work, and yet Cassie avoids responsibility and is also the only Animorph to ever actually bail. Although she does match the 'fair play' part of Hufflepuff. Possibly her knowledge of animals could count her for Ravenclaw, although that is a bit of a stretch. She's definitely not a Gryffindor or Slytherin though, so Hufflepuff probably is the only one she'd fit into for me XD

Ax I remember putting in Ravenclaw last time, but there have been good arguments made for why that's not as good a fit for him. In which case I'd put him in Gryffindor, because Ax is all about Andalite Honour and being a brave warrior.

Tobias could be a Gryffindor much in the style of Neville. Sure, he doesn't look like someone who's brave on first look, but he's ready to leap into that war from the get go. But he could also be a Hufflepuff, I think.

And Jake...yeah, Jake's still tricky XD He kinda doesn't neatly fit into any of the houses, and it also depends on where he is in the series. (Early Jake couldn't be a Slytherin so much, but later Jake could.)

Tobias kind of bailed in book 3 when he went all-out hawk for a couple of days. I wouldn't say Cassie avoids responsibility, either--if anything, she took too much responsibility at times and thus was unable to distance herself from her actions in the war.

I would actually place Rachel in Slytherin (and I flove Rachel, so this isn't an insult).

Hmm, I wouldn't really call that bailing, since Tobias didn't consciously choose to do that. He more had a mental breakdown. And with Cassie, I meant more the way she avoids the responsibilities of many decisions. Like how if a decision might result in really serious consequences, she'll often try to avoid being the one to make the call. She does take on responsibilities in lots of other ways though, so I'm probably explaining really badly here XD

I love Marco and I stick him in Slytherin, so I get that it's not an insult :P I just can't imagine Rachel there, because to me Slytherin is all about ambition and cunning, and I just can't can't really see those traits in Rachel.

Agreed. The book was an absolute trainwreck, but I think it's one of the few things #37 got right. Rachel will and can do terrible things. That's not the same skillset as being able to make terrible plans. That is more Jake, Marco and at times Cassie's terriority. Not to say she isn't capable of being cunning and doing what needs to be done -- they all are -- but it's not her forte.
