Supernatural lovers - rejoice! My bud, Liz, was gracious enough to write a guest post. I'm *sort of* fond of all things Harry Potter, and you all know that we've got a little series here where we're placing characters from our favorite shows into Hogwarts houses. So fun! Liz watches some TV shows that I don't and vice versa, so with her help we can cover different genres. Read along and see what a nerd she is enjoy. **Also, Blogger is whack and so formatting is off - weird indentations everywhere. Apologies!
Charlotte has done some awesome Hogwarts Sorting Hat posts
on her favorite shows, so naturally, I wanted to do one for one of my favorite
shows, Supernatural. Charlotte happens to be a big ‘ol scaredy pants, so she
wouldn’t like Supernatural probably, but she’s been so kind as to allow me to
do this post (thanks girl, even though you first forced me to watch Unbreakable
Kimmy Schmidt before I could write this post, and then I ended up really liking
UKS and it kept me from writing this post).
Be forewarned, this post will definitely have some spoilers.
I’ll avoid spoiling major plot points, but if you’re still in seasons 1-2, you
may want to stop reading now. Without further ado, let Liz’s sorting hat do
what it’s going to do.
1. Dean Winchester
 |
| (he’s so handsome…) |
I really didn’t have a hard time
sorting Dean at all- he’s undoubtedly a Gryffindor. "You might belong
in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and
chivalry, Set Gryffindors apart." I mean, come on. We all know this is
Dean. His love for his family gives him so much bravery and strength. He has a
strong sense of duty to his family- he never thought about leaving the family
business, and he says constantly that hunting is in his blood. He also has a
strong sense of righteousness, which we all see clearly at various points in
the show. A good example of this to me is when he kills Sam’s old friend, Amy,
who is a Kitsune. Dean’s nature to see things as black and white- monsters are
bad and must be killed, humans must be saved- is a significant part of the
story line, and I think it’s a good example of how he fits in Gryffindor. A
more positive example is how he sacrifices himself over and over again to save
Sammy.
2. Sam Winchester
 |
| (also so handsome...this show is filled with attractive men) |
For a little while I was torn between
sorting Sam as a Ravenclaw or a Gryffindor. Sam is undoubtedly brave and
chivalrous, but for me his bookworm characteristics tip the scale in favor of
Ravenclaw. Sam didn’t want to be a hunter- he wanted to graduate from Stanford
and become a lawyer, but unforeseeable incidents obviously forced him back into
the business. Sam is the researcher, always looking up as much as possible
before a case. Also, Sam is a self-identified “freak.” As a kid he was the
weird loner, and demon blood running through his veins has always made him feel
different. Because of this, Sam is relatively open-minded and accepting. He was
deceived by Ruby because he thought that even though she is a demon, she could
be genuinely good. Anyone who saw how Sam reacted to the bunker once owned by
the Men of Letters can see he’d fit in well in Ravenclaw.

Bobby Singer
 |
| (I’m surprised “idjits” isn’t a part of my everyday vocabulary, tbh) |
Bobby is a tough one (balls!). He
has characteristics of Gyrffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. Bobby is brave,
smart, and kind. My first thought was Hufflepuff, but frankly, I think the
other members of that house would drive him absolutely insane. No one can doubt
that Bobby is a hard worker and incredibly loyal. He serves as a network for
numerous hunters all over the country. He has at least 6 phone lines in his
home so he can cover for hunters and pretend to be a Sheriff, the FBI, etc.
Bobby isn’t friendly though, and his patience can certainly wear thin. So, I
think Bobby would get to choose, and he’d probably choose Gryffindor. No one
can doubt that Bobby is brave and thinks on his feet. I think he’d fit in well
there.
4.
Castiel
I had no trouble sorting Castiel
at all- Hufflepuff! Loyal, patient, kind- all words that describe him
perfectly. Castiel is one of the only genuinely good angels remaining in
heaven. He believes strongly in doing what is right and fair. His kindness is
apparent. Besides raising Dean from perdition, Castiel goes out of his way to
heal people at random. And, of course, his unwavering loyalty to the
Winchesters, especially Dean, is what makes him stand out amongst the other
angels. Castiel is truly dedicated to doing God’s work. Even when he makes the
wrong choices, he is always doing them because, in his heart, he believes he is
doing the right thing.
5.
Crowley
Crowley, the King of Hell. You can
bite me if you think I’m wrong on this one- he goes to Slytherin. I’d say most,
if not all, of the demons in SPN would be Slytherins. Cunning, clever, and
ambitious are traits they all seem to carry. Crowley does whatever it takes to
become King of Hell and to strengthen his position, be it partnering with
Castiel and the Winchesters, or helping the Winchesters to kill off his own
kind. Before anyone asks, Ruby and Meg are also in Syltherin. You can love
these characters one minute, and hate them the next, which I think is a big
part of their appeal.
6.
Jo Harvelle
Jo and Ellen are characters that
didn’t get to be developed as much as they deserved on SPN. I LOVED Ellen and
Jo, which is why I had to sort these two on the post. Jo goes to Gryffindor! I
think the first time we see Jo is a clear Gryffindor is when she runs off on
her own to take on the case where young blonde women have been disappearing
from an apartment building. SHE OFFERS HERSELF UP AS BAIT IN THAT EPISODE. That
takes some serious guts. For those of you past season 3, you all know how brave
Jo is through it all.
7.
Ellen Harvelle
Ellen is a little harder for me to
sort than Jo, but I think she belongs in Gryffindor as well. She’s just such a
badass babe. Just look at that gif of her, look at it.
8.
Charlie Bradbury
Another easy one- Charlie is
definitely in Ravenclaw. She is exceptionally intelligent and bright- she’s one
of the best hackers on the planet! She’s also a proud fangirl, does live action
role-playing, goes to comic con, etc. She’s very proudly unique. Sure, she has
dropped out of school, but she was clever and wise enough to make it on her
own. She also does a great job saving the Winchesters’ butts now and then.
I know there are so many awesome characters on SPN, and I
could go on forever, but writing all of this is getting old, so here’s a short
list of some of minor SPN characters and where I think they’d go:
Gabriel- Ravenclaw
Death (Yes, I love Death. I had to include him. He’s in so
few episodes but he’s one of my favorite characters)- Ravenclaw
Kevin Tran- Also, Ravenclaw
Benny- Hufflepuff
Lucifer- Slytherin (obvs)
Raphael- Slytherin
And that’s it. That’s all I’m doing for tonight. SPN lovers,
go watch an episode. Until next time…
-Liz
