HP/Avatar fusion musings

[timepiececlock]

I spent about 10 minutes pondering the lack of entertaining Avatar/Harry Potter crossovers on the internet, and pondering whether I wanted to bother even outlining one. I decided I didn't-- HP fanfic is just too hard to write. Takes too much preparation and research. Even 2 years ago, when I was writing plenty of HP fic, I frequently invented my own magic names and stuff because I couldn't be bothered to fact-check with the books.

But I couldn't resist making a "What If They Were Sorted" list for the ATLA characters. Here you go.

Slytherin:
Toph
Azula
Mai
Jet

Ravenclaw:
Sokka
Teo
Song

Gryffindor:
Aang
Katara
Yue
Haru

Hufflepuff:
Zuko
Ty Lee
Suki
Jin


Toph is a born Slytherin, from the secret combat identity to lying to her parents to hustling street-people to being a pain in the ass. Love that girl.

Azula and Jet are also Slytherins, for basically the same reason. They just also happen to be crazy and malicious, two things Toph is not.

Sokka is a Ravenclaw, because even though he's an idiot, he can be smart sometimes, and seems to relish in knowledge for knowledge's sake.

Aang, Katara, Yue... Gryffindor, because they each have the hero's heart. So does Haru, though he's a bit like Neville I think.

Ty Lee, Suki...Hufflepuffs. These are awesomely talented and professional ladies who know their stuff and practice till they kick ass. I stuck Jin here because I've no idea where to put her.

Zuko is a also Hufflepuff, because his most defining feature is that he never gives up, he never stops trying, and he never backs down. He may be an immature asshat sometimes, but you can't say he's not a hard worker. (Second choice would be Gryffindor; anyone who thinks he'd be Slytherin needs their head examined)

Actually I agree with all of those. Zuko is too straightforward to be a Slytherin. And god, would I love to be in that common room when Toph and Azula get their groove on!
