Now officially the series is called "A Song of Ice and Fire", a series of fantasy novels written by George R. R. Martin. Only the first novel in these series is called "A Game Of Thrones".

Originally I didn't wanna do this franchise... Why? Because I thought it'd be pretty boring, as nearly everybody would likely end up in Slytherin, however, when I thought things through, I came to the conclusion, that although this list may have more Slytherins than any other franchise, it would not do the series justice to put all people in Slytherin.

For this list I shall limit myself most of all to the TV series, however, as I do know a few things about the books, a few references to the books may be there.

Before I begin, as you know the Hogwarts houses are:

• Gryffindor -> Bravery and chilvalry

• Ravenclaw -> Intelligence and brightness

• Slythering -> Cunning, ambitious and inventive.

• Hufflepuff -> Fair, humble, and wise.

This list will by far not be complete, as the number of people in the Game Of Throne series is simply too big, but let's kick off shall we?

Eddard "Ned" Stark

Well, I guess it was obvious from the start that Ned had to be in Gryffindor house. Actually all houses except Slytherin would do, but I chose for Gryffindor. Ned is one of the few who doesn't play the "Game". Even though he was warned that he would die for refusing to do so. Ned is a man of honor, and when he was set to the choice to either acknowledge Joffrey as the new king or to die, who chose death, rather than to serve "evil".

Cathelyn "Cat" Stark

Cat was harder to place, but I decided in the end for Hufflepuff. She is most of all devoted to her family and also her husband, even though he once had sex with another woman leading to the birth of Jon Snow

I do know that this was a lie, as Jon Snow was actually the son of Ned's sister, but Cat never found out about that and doesn't know any better than that Jon is a bastard born out of cheating, and that is what I had to take in mind in her particular case.

Her attitude towards Jon Snow was one of the things that brought me in doubt though, and even more her persona of Lady Stoneheart (which was shamelessly cut out of the TV series), but as Stoneheart was cut from the TV series, and also the result of actions that would get the worst out of any person, I can't really base my sorting on that. She does what she must do as the lady of the house of Stark, and as a mother for her children.

Robb Stark

Robb shows not enough character to come to a good judgment, but he does show good leadership skills, and is not afraid to meet his enemies in battle. And I think I need to lead it at that.

Jon Snow

Jon Snow was easy to place. Only Gryffindor would do him justice. First of all his choice to join the Nightwatch, swearing a celibate as he's well aware of the woes of being a bastard and he didn't want his children to suffer the same way he did, but even though the wall was not the place where people gallantly fought for the right course, but was rather a dump for people with nowhere else to go, he kept upholding what the Nightwatch should stand for. Not interested in any "games", just doing what he had to do "for king and country", yet still daring to look further than just following orders, and reason for the best outcome, knowing not everybody would thank him for that.

Sansa Stark

I never liked Sansa. She's rude, selfish, and uncaring. The horrors she faces once after her father's death, does work out as a wake-up call, though. However she does take Cercei's advice make use of the "secret weapon a woman has between her legs", as she does appear to be willing to use her feminine charms to get men to do her bidding (Little Finger most of all). Although we do not see her get into the "deed" with men as easily as Cercei does. She really learns to play the Game of Thrones over time.

Arya Stark

Arya is my favorite female character in the series, and yet I placed her in Slytherin. Arya shows herself as a merciless killer, although she's always very keen to it to only deserve those who "deserved" it, showing a very strong sense of justice. Arya is however very clever when it comes to manipulating people, and sometimes even those you would not think to be easily manipulated by a teenage girl. This is very strongly evidenced when Arya had to pick three names of people who had to die, since she took three lives away from the God of Death, by naming Jaqen H'ghar when he refused to get her out of the city only willing to unname him under the condition he'd help her. Now she doesn't really do this in order for riches or power, but most of all for revenge, for the death of her father and the way the Starks are hunted down like wild animals, but still the way she plays things out, would make Salazar Slythering proud.

Brann Stark

Brann was one of the hardest to place (I did not place Rickon, as he has too little screen time to come to proper judgment) of the Starks. He does show bravery at many times, but also intelligence. I decided for Hufflepuff, but I am not really sure if that is the right house. Brann is a hatstall for me (a "hatstall" means the Sorting Hat took longer than 5 minutes to come to its decision). My feeling says Hufflepuff, although Ravenclaw has also come to mind.

Tywin Lannister

This guy is a first rate coward. Always avoiding the battles himself, yet managing to take credit for the bravery of others, and get all the privileges the credit provides. This disqualifies him for both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. He is shown to be pretty intelligent though, but he abuses his intelligence most of all to play out people (even his own children) for his own personal gain. The "red wedding" in which he makes Walder Frey do the dirty work for him to get rid of his most dangerous enemy, Robb Stark confirms his cowardice, but also his manipulative attitude.

Jamie Lannister

I must admit that I originally misjudged Jamie. Most of all for his attempt to kill Brann, when he sees him fucking his own sister, and also when he beats up Ned. As the story goes on though and Jamie gets to show his true face, I began to see him for the brave knight he really is. He might well be the only Lannister who tolerates Tyrion, and although he gets no praise for killing "The Mad King" it becomes more and more clear he only did so, because he had to to save the people from a completely dangerous madman. I guess he was merely born in the wrong nest.

Cersei Lannister

This woman is absolutely repulsive in every single way. Even Salazar Slytherin would be insulted to have her in his house. She might well be the Dolores Umbridge of the Game of Thrones series. Only thinking about her own personal gain, and constantly trying to manipulate people, not even above trying to gain things over the heads of her own children. Now she also appears to be a bit addicted to sex, but this allows her to shamelessly fuck any man who would be willing to and who could also help her to gain so much more. Her lust for power is boundless, and she manipulates anything and everything to get to that point. Not even having to do the "walk of shame" naked through the city made her learn her lesson. She lacks the courage of a Gryffindor and by far the fairness and wisdom of a Hufflepuff, and she's not too bright in general either disqualifying her for Ravanclaw. Ambition and manipulation are her ways to get what she wants. But as a true tyrant, afraid for those she seeks to oppress, and not above making extreme orders to get rid of those she fears.

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion is a harder case, as he shows the qualities all four founders value. I was most of all in doubt between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Of course, if he didn't fit in Ravenclaw, who would, since Tyrion is clearly the most intelligent character in the entire series. Then why still Slytherin? Perhaps Peter Dinklage (the actor who played Tyrion) himself described it best. He said it was hard to determine if Tyrion was the "good" villain, or the "evil" good guy. Tyrion knows how to play the Game of Thrones, but he's not in it for power, but rather as a way of survival, and he shows great skills in manipulation and scheming in order to get himself through every situation that could otherwise be lethal to him. I'm sure that if Tyrion was in a better situation in which he didn't have to show these skills, I'd have put in into Ravenclaw.

Joffrey Baratheon

Any questions?

Aemon Targaryan

Another one who was hard to place, but for sure only the houses of the female founders would truly do. Although I cannot deny him courage, he is clearly more of a thinker. Overall his wisdom is what dominates his character most of all. And although he does show some strictness, he's always willing to listen to reason, as evidenced as Sam explains the oath is to protect all members of the human race, which includes the Wildlings as well. "If we had to behead all who gave in to the charms of a woman, the wall would be guarded by nothing but headless men" or something like that shows he also sees that oaths only take you so far.

On thing I must give him though... He's one of the few in Game of Thrones to die of old age, and that is a very rare achievement. But maybe that also shows how wise he was and how people respected him for that, making he didn't have many enemies. Nobody wanted his blood...

Walder Frey

Well, we've already seen him in Hogwarts haven't we (since he's portrayed by the same actor as Argus Filch). Walder is a first rate coward of the first degree (Gryffindor), he has respect for nobody except himself and is very discriminating towards women (Hufflepuff), and when it comes to intelligence he was most of all reliant on the Lannisters and the Boltons, and both were very eager to use him (Ravenclaw). What remains is Slytherin, and yes, it suits him fine, being only interested in personal gain, and only interested in helping you if he can win things by it without making his own hands dirty. He's revolting!

Seeing him getting killed by Arya in revenge for the "Red Wedding", was very satisfying. And due to his sexist nature, the fact that Arya is a girl only made it even better.

Petyr "Little Finger" Baelish

For Petyr Slytherin only seems obvious, since he's a very nasty backstabber, and doesn't even attempt to hide it. As a matter of fact, he is even honest about it that he is not to be trusted. Ravenclaw did come to mind however. People who are a bit of a mix between Ravenclaw and Slytherin can be very very extremely dangerous. He really knows how to play the game of thrones, but also when not to play it. He supports Ned Stark when that was the best option, only to put a knife at his throat, when helping to get Ned executed was the better option. And every time he manages to weasel his way out when the situation gets too dangerous for him. For a long time he gets away with everything. His weakness was his sexual desires for Cathelyn Stark, but after Cat died, and Sansa beginning to look more and more like her mother as she's turning from a girl into a woman took over that affection (which she learns to abuse, making my decision to put her into Slytherin even more solid). However as long as neither Cat nor Sansa are involved, this guy appears uncatchable, and gets away with things due his his truly sneaky ways of playing and his extremely cleverness to think things through. Slytherin wins, but his brain is worthy of Ravenclaw, as well. Dangerous mix... VERRRRY DANGEROUS!

Sam Tarly

And about time we got our first true Ravenclaw. Sam's qualities were certainly not with the blade nor in crafting. Sam's qualities were the capacities of his brain. He is not really manipulative or anything, and I guess it was only fitting he'd go to Bravos to be trained as a Maester.

Ramsay Snow/Bolton

I don't think I need to explain this one, do I?

Shireen Baratheon

Shireen may never have gotten the position she deserved due to her being "ugly", as she was scarred by a horrible disease as an infant. She shows high intelligence. Her ability to read (which was not a common ability in the kind of era in which the series was set) shows a bit of that, but not only her ability to read, but also the stuff she reads, and her ability to understand all that, do show how bright she is. She also shows herself to be a capable teacher when she teaches Davos how to read.

Davos "The Onion Knight" Seawirth

Davos was one of the harder guys to place, as any house but Slytherin would basically do. I was most conflicted between the houses of the two female founders. Although he shows the bravery Godric Gryffindor prizes, I found his intelligence and most of all wisdom, his more notable traits, and so in the end I think that Helga Hufflepuff would be the best option for him. He does think further than Stannis does, and shows great loyalty. Anything he does is for the best of everybody, or at least that's what he strives for. The love he shows towards Shireen, even though she's "ugly" (I hate that word) shows he takes people for what they are and that he doesn't let prejudice cloud his judgment. When Stannis really gets over board he tries get him to his senses, although unsuccessful, but as this tells us more about Stannis than about Davos, as Stannis appears to be very extremely stubborn.

Danarys Targaryan

At first hard to place, due to her entirely being controlled by her brother (needless to say I'd also place him in Slytherin), and after her brother is killed by her husband, the Khal, she is still in the shadow of the Khal. Once the Khal dies she immediately shows her lack of sense of justice, or maybe even her lack of sense of anything. Evidenced immediately by executing the shaman, however she also refuses to listen to good advice. In her drive to free people from slavery, she also loses her mind completely and she seems unable to understand the role as a "mother" she gains in this process, and also unable to understand she made herself enemies, and extremely driven to claim the iron throne. The way she made her dragon burn a slave trader pretending at first she didn't understand him (while his language was actually her native language, so she understood him all along) shows she's cunning at times, and her ambition to obtain the Iron Throne appears to be boundless. She's on the way to become "The Mad Queen" though, however unlike Cersei, deep in her heart she appears to mean well.... Or maybe I simply want to see something good in her.
