I'm shocked that this topic doesn't already exist, but... I searched high and low, and apparently nobody on IDOJ has thought to sort the JN gang into Hogwarts Houses.

So, here we go. You are the all-powerful sorting hat. Where do YOU think Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, Sheen, Libby, etc. should go? Gryffindor? Ravenclaw? Hufflepuff? Slytherin? What about other characters, like Nick or Betty or Bolbi?

Share your sorting choices, and tell use why you chose what you did!

Jimmy: Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. I think the Sorting Hat would have the same issue with Jimmy as it did with Hermione. He's got brains and bravery in spades. Even though Jimmy is a genius, I think his truly defining characteristic is his loyalty and bravery. So Gryffindor.

Sheen: Gryffindor. Sheen is brave in his own way, and I think the Hat just wouldn't know where else to put him

Carl: Hufflepuff. Carl is an obvious Hufflepuff. He's patient, fair-minded and loyal.

Cindy: Slytherin, I think. She's ambitious and clever and not afraid to get what she wants. She's not above manipulating people to her own ends. She loves success and being better than everyone else.

Libby: Ravenclaw? Libby's a lot smarter than she appears, I think. She's clever and quick when it comes down to it. If not Ravenclaw then Hufflepuff, for her steadfastness and even temper.

Good calls, Megan my darling.

I totally agree with Gryffindor for Jimmy, and Cindy for Slytherin. I mean, their canon outfits are already color-coded to those houses, so...

I had initially pegged Sheen for Ravenclaw, just because he is the type of person to develop obsessive interests, and he seems to possess that odd, out-of-the-box thinking that someone like Luna Lovegood also shares. But now that I think about it, I think he'd do well in Gryffindor too. He does play the hero a number of times both in the movie and in the series, and if CJHS taught us anything, it's that he's willing to risk his personal safety to help his friends (well, Libby anyway).

Carl is definitely a Hufflepuff. He'd probably do well in the Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology

To me, Libby is the hardest to sort. I don't really think she belongs in Ravenclaw...even though she's very smart in a common-sense way, she is far from being an intellectual. And to back up my claim, allow me to present the following evidence:

(note especially the sentence that reads, "There were people who did not have cars and airplanes so they had to walk or ride a horse sometimes, which was bad on their people feet and they get a sunburn.")
Libby would fit well in Hufflepuff, because she seems to get along with everyone. She's chill, and fun, and seems comfortable in her own skin. She's no pushover, though, so I could see the hat placing her in Gryffindor too.

Thoughts?

Yeah, how did this topic not exist before?? Oh well, here are my picks:

Jimmy - Either Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. He's very heroic and always rushes in fearlessly to save the world or his friends (though he may be a bit lacking in the chivalry department ), so he would fit perfectly into Gryffindor. The reason for Ravenclaw, I think, is obvious. Ultimately, I think I'd choose Gryffindor, as I think Jimmy's heroism overrides his intelligence.

Cindy, I could see fitting into any of the houses. She is obviously very intelligent and hard-working, suggesting Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff... but she is also very ambitious, which is a quality of Slytherin, and when the chips are down, she will risk her life for her friends, which is a Gryffindor trait. Personally, I would probably pick Ravenclaw, as I think that's what she would choose...

Libby would probably be a Hufflepuff, because she is very loyal to her friends (until she's given her own news show, of course ), and works very hard when she needs to.

Sheen - Gryffindor, without a shadow of a doubt. He instantly rushes into dangerous situations for his friends without any thought for his own safety, and hardly seems to be afraid of anything. He is always quick to join Jimmy on dangerous adventures. If he wasn't so insane, he would be the very definition of a Gryffindor.

Carl is a bit tougher... Hufflepuff would work, because of his kind nature and his loyalty to his friends (though, he's not exactly hard working). He might also work in Gryffindor as, beneath that wimpy surface, he does have a lot of courage (very deep down). I would probably go with Hufflepuff. That seems to fit him the best.

Oh, stop it, you.

Hmm, I didn't even see that! That's super awesome.

"Ugh! I look awful in yellow, you can't put me in that house. Red and gold go great with my complexion!"

Lol he's the Neville Longbottom of Retroville

I actually wrote a JN/HP/AF crossover fic with my friends when I was in middle school...There were about half a dozen of us working on it for almost two years, putting ourselves in the story, and the inside jokes pretty much dominated our immediate friend-culture for years afterwards XD Lots of Harry and Jimmy going at each other's throats and arguing about the existence of magic. Artemis stayed out of it, he was too busy being OOC and making out with me in the Room of Requirement.

OK, here are my thoughts on some of the other characters:

Nick - Slytherin, because he cares so much about appearances and acting cool. He's not a bad person, but the movie at least suggested that he'd be too afraid to risk his life to help others, and the show drops hints that he has some bully-ish tendencies.

Betty - I guess I'd put her in Hufflepuff, because she seems fun-loving and sweet. We don't really have enough information about her character to make a definitive categorization, methinks

Bolbi - Gryffindor, because that boy has no fear. Sure, it's because he's an idiot, but who cares!

I think Judy would be in Ravenclaw, and Hugh in Hufflepuff. Judy is obviously almost a genius herself, even if Jimmy got the "Neutron genius gene", and Hugh is so good-natured I think he definitely belongs in Hufflepuff.

[Mara=^.^=]

Totes agree

I love this question. I think I agree with the general concensus on the main characters.

Tehheee.. this makes me want to encourage Mara to draw this... HINT HINT.
