As a Ravenclaw: Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey
I haven’t read this book so I couldn’t be for sure but from what I just read now I’d be comfortable in saying Miss Morland is a Ravenclaw. It’s not because she described as a character that loves reading but the result of this, her trouble at understanding people and the world around her. Maybe the best way to say it is that she may be a little like Luna… lost in her own world and a little awkward to speak with at first but her intentions are still good and she is genuine. It seems to fit and while I was initially going to say that other characters were better suited to this house, she’s the most straight forward and easiest to put there.

As a Gryffindor: Elizabeth Bennet from Pride & Prejudice
So I find there is a fine line between Elizabeth being a Ravenclaw or a Gryffindor, but for the reason mentioned above I’m going to go with Gryffindor in this case. She does have the wit and fondness for reading and intellect of a Ravenclaw but she’s as lively, judgemental and quickly spoken as any Gryffindor could be. So perhaps she’s just like Hermione! Elizabeth’s nature is a little more lionish then compared to your typical claw, so I suppose it all works out in the end. However, I’d completely understand if people disagreed with me. You see, I think the same think about mr Darcy too!

As a Sytheirn: Miss Bingley of Pride & Prejudice
I suppose there are not many things to suggest that why she s suited to this house as she’s only a minor character, but I’d chance to say that many would agree with what we are shown, those traits show that she is most suited to Slytherin. As the Malfoy and Black familys do within the wizarding world, she is quick to judge Elizabeth due to her social class and status. Miss Bingley is a particularly proud individual, intent on keeping that status and knowing no shame, thus her disdain to her brother’s marriage. She’s just very very vain and I’m afraid that some Slytherin’s have been known for such a thing.

As a Hufflepuff: Jane Bennet of Pride and Prejudice
I think all I need to say here is that Jane is just a beautiful character with the sweetest nature. She possesses the gentle nature I’d imagine many Hufflepuff’s to have and even her actions and emotions within the book reflect that nature too. She’s just a gentle soul!

Angelina//Ravenclaw//I'm amazed I remembered anything of the characters! XD

From:

Catherine Morland! Oh my I totally forgot about her when sorting! She is totally a Ravenclaw, from the bookishness to her daydreaming qualities, we claws often do then to see more than there is in situations XD
I agree on you with Lizzy and Jane, altho I'd sort Lizzy into Ravendor and Jane into Sparklypoo. Forgive me, I sometimes find her rather weak of character, more-so perhaps since she ever truly shows her emotions and her denial of reality, when it comes to people being nasty. Altho I do love her quote when she announces to Luzzy that Bingly finally proposed <3
Caroline Bingly is not that Slytherin in my mind, yes she's nasty and she's alike Pansy in sucking up and teasing the ones that she dislikes. Yes she is proud, but she has all right to be. The Molfoys and Blacks are unjustly proud of their heritage, while she is not, the Bennets ARE lower in class than the Bingleys, and one simply didn't marry outside of their class in that time, as Jane Austen herself was sorry to experience. I think all together she's more of a Hufflepuff, for she's fiercly loyal to her family and she'd like the happyness of her brother before her own (as she never mentiond her marrying but preferring the marrige of her brother and Miss Darcy). Staying unmarried (obviously by choice for she seemed to have all assets to be easily married) was unheard of at that time which seems more self sacrificing that nudges to Hufflepuff. But as you said yourself, she is a minor character so we never can be sure. I'd love to hear your opinion on it tho :)

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

Lizzy certainly is a Ravendor, I couldn't think of her in any other way. Jane is meek in ways but I still find her as such a lovable character because of the gentle nature. As cruel as it seems, I suppose she represents a different stereotype of sorts, as an exception of those times and social roles. That was a lovely moment! :D

I always have a hard time picking Slytherin's in fandoms so i wasn't really sure who to for this ( I was limited because I've only read Pride & Prejudice ). However, I'm glad to here another view on her and appreciate it. That is an excellent point about marriage, how dare I forget! *headdesk* That loyalty really is there so don;t be surprised that you've convinced me, though I would like to add that severe loyality to one's fmaily can be a Slytherin thing too ( everyone, really ).I was just to scared to go with Lady Catherine de Bourgh, lol. She embodies that Black and Malfoy attitude better I imagine but that's all I had on her. XP

Angelina//Ravenclaw//Needs to reread P&P, or watch it, either way!

From:

Personally I'd say in P&P Wickam is the Slytherin, perhaps something of an Slyther-dor. He has wit and charm and uses it to the fullest to get higher the easiest way possible in that time; by an inappropriate marriage to a lady of great wealth and fortune. Even after his character is exposed he's still so full of himself that he appears all the same. He has no real ambition to work (as Mr Dracy gave him all opportunities) but rather liked to venture out and try to get wealthy by gambling. Very very Slyterdor I'd say. Even his way of taking revenge on Darcy was utterly cunning (trying to marry his little sister like OMG! O_o if that isn't the ultimate revenge than what would be?)

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

Oh gosh! See what happens when you don't read or see things for years... you forget the obvious! Wickam certainly is fitting of the role and I don't think any reader could see the charm in him after what we found out. *shudders*
( Hmm, well, if he were a Ravenclaw then perhaps removing all the cookies from the land would equate to that, if not completely over ride that form of revenge! MWAHAHHAHAHAH! XP )

Angelina//Ravenclaw//is officially lame

From:

There are quite a few Snakes in P&P, really. Wickham, the Bingley sisters, Mr. Collins (though a bumbling fool, still ambitious as hell), even Catherine de Bourgh.

The harder question, at least in my mind, is where does Mr. Bennett belong. ;)

Rachel//Ravenclaw

From:

Slytherclaw... I think he used to be a lot more Ravenclaw, more dreamy and naive until he got married to a utterly stupid woman who's youthfulness (at the time) seemed to fit his character. After the setback of not being able to beget an male heir and of the discovery that his wife is utterly simple minded made him sarcastic instead of witty. He still favors his most wittiest daughter and love his library. He cares but it simply doesn't show as well anymore.

Catherine de Bourgh is such a Slughorn, trying to make sure everyone is doing what she wants them to do. I'd say Mr Collins is a Muggle :/ He lacks talents of any kind except boasting about useless stuff. He's not that ambitious for he's okay with his station in life and his not that pretty wife. And he did want to help the Bennets out by marrying one of the daughters (he should have chosen Mary, she'd would have made the perfect companion to him). Slytherins know how to suck up, but they have way more pride (and loyalty for that matter) than Collins.

I think everyone's seeing that now. :D

There was a lot of emphasis on that but really, it wouldn't be worth anything if it wasn't backed up by her nature. It's her gentle nature that always stood out to me more then anything else and I'll alway recognize her by that... And it's not fair on you guys! Really! ♥ *HUGS ALL THE HUFFLEPUFF'S* ♥

From:

Been awhile since I read those...haven't got to all of them, going off film and link for S&S...let's start with the heroines...

Hufflepuff - Probably not going to come as any surprise, but Fanny Price from Mansfield Park, seems like the quintessential Hufflepuff. Modest, good-natured, but determined and incredibly patient and loyal towards others.

Ravenclaw - Also, lackluster, obvious sorting, Catherine Morland, intelligent, obviously, though naive about real life situations and the motivations of others, however she learns from her mistakes and is incredibly witty.

Gryffindor - Always seen Elizabeth Bennet here, possibly due to my own identification (save the 'happy ending'), as she certainly has some Puffish traits too, especially as loyal as she is to her father and protective of her sister, ultimately her quick-judgment and impatience land her solely with us lions. (Gryffindors too are known to be quite protective of their own).

Slytherin - Saved for last, probably going to get the most heat for it, but Elinor Dashwood (I know right?). But why not? She's practical, dislikes irresponsible people, seems much less open to 'change' and the needs of others than Fanny, I believe, but shows great care towards those she loves. Plenty of Slytherins have shown great affection towards a select few. And she's not one you would think for Slytherin right away.

Cyndi//Gryffindor

From:

I agree with Fanny Price! But you forgot the mention her incredible strength to defy her family when she believes she's in her right. Which suggest character and hidden strength very common for the Puffs!
I also agree with Catherine and Lizzy (as I commented in the comment I made on the previous post).
Elinor as a Slytherin? I'm not really sure one that one. She got stuck in a destitute situation and makes the best of everything for the sake of her family. She uses all her intelligence for the struggle to survive not to get better of it with least work, not suggesting ambition of any kind. She is certainly NOT heartless or uncivil to all those who are very uncivil to her, instead she finds it annoying, yes, but does not plot revenge or berate anyone. A Slytherin would not do being walked over so many times by others. A Slytherin would not have the patience for her sister Marianne who seemed determined to be fussy and heartbroken and against all decorum of the time (how rude!). No I see her way more as a Ravenpuff, hardworking and intelligent, doing all her might to make her family comfortable. She has absolutely NO ambition or scheming plans to reach her goal. But then again, I have not yet been able to have read to the whole book. So maybe my interoperation of her is faulty, if so please do correct me :)

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

I have very little justification for Elinor as Slytherin, other than she's a non-evil Slytherin, and her ambition was Edmund. Plus too many of Austen's heroine's seem like RavenPuff's, and I wanted to steer away from that for a change. Bennet was another possibility, but she lacks that subtlety thing.

Cyndi//Gryffindor

From:

I'm glad I'm not the only one to see Elizabeht as a Gryffindor, I was just a little uncertain about saying so at first. I guess it's because I'm not the most familiar with Austen's works. I've think you've put what I saw into the the quickest and best way to say it, so yay! I've always adored how her and her father got along, it's so cute. Even if he made his mistakes along the way with the others, oh well! Also, I've never doubted the lions protective streak. Seriously!

Angelina//Ravenclaw

From:

Elinor is an interesting choice for Slytherin. I don't think it's quite fair to say that she dislikes irresponsible people since she seems to get along quite well with her own sister, Marianne. But she does definitely have a sense of propriety and responsibility that many snakes have. And you're right that plenty of Slytherins have shown great affection towards a select few. I certainly include myself in that category, and I think Narcissa Malfoy and Severus Snape would both fit that qualification as well.

Lisa//Slytherin

From:

[I fully admit only reading P&P and still working on reading S&S and only seen several of the movies of the others O_o]

Marianne Dashwood from Sense & Sensibility
The ever energetic and animated Marianne is in every way the Gryffindor. From being incredibly suborn, ignoring the social standings, doing everything her own way, being incredibly passionate and voicing her opinions of everything.

Fanny Price from Mansfield Park
However lowly her relitives treat her, she is ever so loyal in her support. She has a hidden strenght that is very common in Hufflepuffs.

Elinor Dashwood from Sense & Sensibility
Calculated well read and thoughtfull Elinor is a good example of a Ravenclaw. Logic and insight are her constand allies as she tries her best to protect her family in a less obvios way.

Emma Woodhouse from Emma
Always very aware of her skills and assets Emma makes the most of evrything and just loves to be involved with absolutely everything. She'll try her hardest to manipulate things to her own amusement. I think she is very mucht the Slytherin.

Maaike // Ravenclaw

Gryffindor: Louisa Musgrove from Persuasion - passionate and determined, Louisa impresses everyone she meets with her resolve.

Hufflepuff: Anne Elliot from Persuasion - so loyal and accomadating to those that she cares about the he almost missed out on making herself happy.

Ravenclaw: Henry Tileny from Northanger Abbey. Well-read sarcastic, intuitive, and clever. Given to witticisms and amusing social commentaries. And I love him :P

Slytherin: Isabella Thorpe from Northanger Abbey - manipulative and self-serving in her ambition to catch her self a wealthy husband.

From:

Henry Tileny is totally Ravenclaw!! I can't believe I've forgotten him haha! Indeed he is a prime example for Ravenclaw! Oh and I agree with the rest of your sortings as well :) I can't say I know enough about Persuasion to sort them :(

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

Alright, the only one I've actually read/watched/studied in depth is Pride and Prejudice, but I'm going to give this a go. And I'm going to stick to minor characters, because the main characters are really too easy. ;)

You can't really sort Caroline Bingley without also considering her sister, Louisa Hurst. Those two are quite the ambitious little team. Louisa did as much maneuvering as Caroline in order to secure for themselves a place in high society, though one wonders how Mr. Hurst fits into Louisa's social security. They're both very cunning, though their insults of Lizzie are a bit clumsy. Thus, off to Slytherin they both go.

There's really no question in my mind that Charles Bingley belongs in Hufflepuff. His easy-going manner and infectious charm and good will are his over-riding personality characteristics, and those are things that I always have associated with the Puffs.

Charlotte Lucas is pragmatic and sensible, often using a higher sense of logic most of the other characters in the book. She might be a quieter Ravenclaw, but I think that's where she would fit the best. She's got a good head on her shoulders.

This might not be a popular opinion, but just hear me out on sorting Catherine Bennet as a Gryffindor. She has an almost insatiable sense of adventure and is generally braver than a lot of people give her credit for being. It's really kind of unfortunate that she was so easily led by other people. That's the only thing that really hinders her, and I think it's something that could be overcome the longer she's away from Lydia. She's not nearly as rash and unthinking on her own as when her little sister's around.

Rachel//Ravenclaw

From:

Gheh how amusing you didn't sort the main character ;) Anyway I'm afraid I'd have to agree with you on most accounts.
Caroline Bingly is not that Slytherin in my mind, as I mentioned in my comment at

twilight2shadow, I think her more of a SLytherpuff, if not wholly Hufflepuff.
Charles Bingly, is most definitely a Hufflepuff (altho I hate his lack of a spine :/) he is incredibly loyal and always tries not to displease anyone. Even tho with his station in life he can very well do whatever he wants.
Charlotte Lucas would be more of a Ravenpuff than just a Ravenclaw. I somehow associate daydreaming, creativity (Luna) and being a hopeless romantic (Cho) also with Ravenclaw. I think Hufflepuff are a lot more down to earth when it comes to relationships. Pufflepuffs and Ravenclaws are also very practical in their ways I think, as Charlotte is. Ah well. I simply can't choose. Perhaps Ravenclaw would suit her best. But do think that Charlotte married also for the sake of her family, that they didn't need to worry for her or to take care of her for the rest of her life.
I utterly agree with Catherine Bennet, for as we have seen with the Golden Trio, they are very often utterly irresponsible of their acts which describes her perfectly.

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

Well, I couldn't make up my mind on Lizzie or Darcy. There's a good example of a Ravendor. And I see Darcy as a Slytherclaw, with a hint of Gryffindor. I just can't make up my mind where to place either of them. They both fit in Ravenclaw as much as they fit in Gryffindor and Slytherin, respectively.

When you put the two Bingley sisters together, they're both very Slytherin. That's why I took them together. Separately, they might have some hybrid (Slytherpuff and Slytherclaw, respectively), but I see them as being primarily Slytherin.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees Kitty as a Gryff. Lydia's a muggle. :P

Rachel//Ravenclaw

From:

Word about Lizzie and Darcy. Bitchiwitch might be better suited. They don't play well with others, but they seem to play well with eachother.

Also nominated for awesome!house for being well-rounded.

Cyndi//Gryffindor

From:

Lizzie does play well with others, but she has a very low tolerance for fools and people who abuse her. She seems to abide by the "Shame on you if you fool me once; shame on me if you fool me twice" principle. Also, she plays very well with others in public and in situations where decorum and propriety are necessary, at least up to the point where she and hers are insulted, as was the case with Lady deBourgh at Longbourn.

Darcy doesn't play well with others nearly as well as Lizzie. For one thing, he starts out being far too shy to be able to do so, even if the shyness comes off as arrogance. But once he gets to know a person, he opens up.

Rachel//Ravenclaw

From:

Good call for Catherine. Always reminded me of my bff. Who could be RavenPuff, but I would also steal for Gryffindor in a heartbeat. Also, many a time a Gryffindor would show not-so-good sense in trusting others (Harry, Pettigrew, Dumbledore, James, Hermione, etc). I attribute it to our overall sense in man's inherit goodness as well as evil and the desire to save people. Plus the recklessness.

Cyndi//Gryffindor

From:

*whew*

I'm glad the Gryffs can agree with me on Kitty. :D She's not got a lot of common sense, nor does she have much of a backbone when Lydia's around. But when Lydia's gone, Catherine does quite well for herself. :)

Rachel//Ravenclaw

From:

I completely agree about Charles! It crossed my mind when I was thinking about it before and I just wanted to match him with Jane and say how they both really were Hufflepuffs! I think you've pulled out all the best traits to match him up with the house that really stand out in his case. :)

Aww, they're just so cute together! X)

I was intrigued by your mention of Catherine too. I think t could work out like that. Good choice!

Angelina//Ravenclaw

From:

Hufflepuff: Fanny Price is loyal to her relatives at Mansfield Park, to the point where she is the one who has most internalized the values that all of them are supposed to have.

Gryffindor: Thomas Price(the son, not the father) is bold when it comes to defying propriety and his father's authority, at least when his father isn't nearby.

Slytherin: Mary Crawford schemes all throughout the novel to get Edmund to marry her and refuse to become a member of the clergy, and it almost works.

Ravenclaw: Henry Crawford is witty and calculating enough to charm both Price sisters and play them against each other with nobody but Fanny noticing, and smart enough later to know that Fanny will not marry him unless he persists in proving himself changed, although he lacks the humility to keep up his good behavior when he sees Maria Rushworth behaving coldly towards him.

From:

Lizzy really is hard to sort! Any arguments can see her being placed on both sides in either house! I certainly can agree with all that you said about her, so now I'm guessing the only thing I'd mention is that perhaps it's the manner in which she goes about it and that evident drive to go for it, that hints towards the Gryffindor-side again.

She really really is stuck between them! As we've all discussed. XP

Miss Bingley certainly is manipulative, even if it did not work in this case. I think it is her attitude that sets her up as a Slytherin when first thinking of her. She does have a strong Sltyherin streak to her.

Angelina//Ravenclaw

From:

Elinor as a Gryffindor? Hmm Interesting choice, I can see your reasons but I don't really think Gryffs are known for their secret keeping skills. They are emotional and passionate beings, they usually lack the strength to keep any emotion to them selves.

Lizzy is the utmost RAVENDOR character ever to be seen! I'm glad someone finally sorted her into Ravenclaw as well :)

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

I agree that Elinor did put on a brave face, but she lacks the impulsivity of a Gryff. And keeping a secret to yourself doesn't seem very Gryff to me, either. They're not much for keeping their feelings bottled up. It seems a bit more Slytherin, actually.

Hufflepuff: Emma- The oblivious matchmaker who meant well but was completely "Clueless" and she has her purpose directly in front of her face.

Slytherin: Fanny Ferrars-Dashwood-She is a cruel minx with a horrible taste for the rich life! She is greedy and elitist!

Gryffindor: Marianne Dashwood- She is adventurous and she doesn't think before acting! She is passionate, yet blind to the ways of the world.

Ravenclaw: Fanny Price- She is equal in intelligence with any man and she has the strength too. She was an outcast for her station in life, but she contributed much to those around her.

From:

Emma a hufflepuff!? She schemes and manipulates her way around. She is clueless in some parts but that cerainly does not make a Puff. She's loyal to only a hand full of friends and likes to befriend people that she can use, way more Slytherin in my opinion. And I don't really think her as hardworking either :|

I've never really thought Fanny a Ravenclaw, she's never so outspoken so one would assume that she's not that smart. Personally I'd like seeing her as Hufflepuff, so devoting and caring towards the family (that, at times, didn't really seem to appreciate her enough). She's the only thing that remains steadfast and loyal to herself. Yes I'd say that's more Puff power than Raven intellect.

Maaike // Ravenclaw

From:

andromeda0604.livejournal.com

Everyone that schemes and manipulates doesn't always end up in Slytherin! (Fred and George using the firsties as guinea pigs, Hermione was even good at coming up with schemes{Polyjuice Potion}, even Dumbledore had a few up his sleeves, although that doesn't bode well for the Gryffindors, lol) Yeah, she may not be fluffy and nice, but that doesn't make her a Slytherin either. I never said she was hardworking, I said her purpose was in front of her face meaning she was stubborn and didn't see all the many faults in what she concocted. Even though she had the nerve to think of others as less fortunate, in some sick way she felt like she was doing them a favor.

Fanny may have not been outspoken, but that does not negate her being smart! I'm paraphrasing when I say this because I don't remember the exact quote: "It is better to be quiet and be thought of as a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." Why do intellingent people have to be outspoken? Who said that Ravenclaws aren't devoted to family, look at Luna, she loved and supported her dad. And just as Luna knew that people weren't always gonna treat you right, she still stayed true to herself, her quirky, weird,and fashion-challenged self! So I disagree!

Gryffindor: Marianne Dashwood from Sense and Sensibility

She is outspoken, for the Regency era at least, and quite idealistic. She struck me as a Gryffindor when she pursued Willoughby in London, for the era her actions were bold.

Hufflepuff: Anne Elliot from Persuasion

Because of her modest and kind nature she's sometimes overlooked, but she is deeply appreciated by sensible people because of her level head and calm nature. This was evidenced when Louisa got injured, she was the only one with her wits around her.

Ravenclaw: George Knightley from Emma

He was Emma's voice of reason, constantly advising her against her more foolish plans and telling her when she was misbehaving like in the picnic when she was less than polite with Miss Bates

Slytherin: George Wickham from Pride and Prejudice

I didn't want to sort him in my house.. but he is ambitious and rather cunning. And completely amoral but that's not a house trait. He easily tricked a whole town into believing his lies and maligning Mr Darcy, and for being a crafty fellow he's undoubtedly a Snake.

Claudia//Slytherin

From:

Oh my I cannot help but to agree with all of you choices!
I especially liked it that you choose George Knightley from Emma as a Ravenclaw (even more so since I think Emma is SUTCH a slytherin hahaha) He really is calm and reflecting about his environment, I fancy him a bit of a daydreamer as wel. He's intellectual enough to handle (or restrain) Emma in her silly schemes. Yes he fits the part of a ravenclaw very well :)

chewyyyyyy.livejournal.com

The only one I read is Pride and Prejudice. So...

Gryffindor: Elizabeth Bennet
She has almost all the traits from the Houses, excluding Slytherin of course. She's a smart and intelligent woman, very Clawish, protective of her family, very Puffish, but still her Gryffindor traits - judgemental, rashness. She judge people based on her instincts, rather than by logic, thus I'm sorting her to Gryffindor

Hufflepuff: Mr Bennet
I think of him as someone who's protective and cares about his family, but dares not show it out. He finally does when he was faced with a choice between his daughter, Elizabeth and his wife, Mrs Bennet. For his daughter's true happiness, he decided to go along with her decisions on rejecting of Mr Collins proposal, showing his firm ground as a protective father to his wife, though I must admit, he could had been sorted into Ravenclaw as well, given his wise and calm personality.

Ravenclaw: Charlotte Lucas
She uses logic and plans for her happiness. For example, in order to capture Mr Collins' attention, she engaged him in conversations when he was given the cold shoulder by Elizabeth. She may not stand out much, but thats the vibe i'm getting. Also, she was content with a house of her own, thus not entirely a Slytherclaw.

Slytherin: George Wickham
He qualified for Slytherin due to his cunningness and over-ambitious. Example, he had planned to pin all blames on Darcy, a perfect example of showing how easily he could con, not just Elizabeth, but the whole city, into believing his lies.

Yiting//Hufflepuff

From:

ananasparachute.livejournal.com

Slytherin : Mrs Bennet Always scheming and plotting to get her daughters' married, with seemingly no consideration for what they actually care for or think, all with the plan to raise her family's rank and priviledge. On one hand, she is a composite reflection of the time Jane Austen is writing about, but still, her character's evolution makes her unquesetionably Slytherin in my mind.

Hufflepuff: Jane Bennet Jane is kind and innocent, and always wants to believe the best about people. She clearly believes in fairness and in treating others well. Jane is known as a beauty, but doesn't like to boast about this or be in the spotlight.

Gryffindor: Elizabeth Bennet I would agree that Elizabeth is a suitable Gryffindor, however, she is just on the boarder of Ravenclaw. Her fiery temper and outspoken nature transcend the expectations of women of her time, so I would agree that she is more of a Lion than an Eagle.

Ravenclaw: Charlotte Lucas Charlotte is practical and the calm eye in the storm of the book. She is reasonable and always seems to be able to "cool down" Elizabeth through a good chat and a logical deduction of the circumstances.

Jillian//Hufflepuff

From:

pasta-and-pepsi.livejournal.com

I have only read Pride and Prejudice (hangs head in shame). So all my characters are from there:

Gryffindor: Elizabeth Bennet - the title Pride and Prejudice describe both Elizabeth and Mr Darcy - they both have both, however, I am going to use Elizabeth Bennet as my Gryffindor example as it is her who I feel shows the more lively and impatient of the too.

Ravenclaw: Charlotte Lucas - she is very practical, and although her planning and cunning could put her into Slytherin house she is not ambitious enough to really fit well here. So for a pragmatic mind - to ravenclaw.

Slytherin: George Wickham - Yes, it may seem very obvious to put the villain in slytherin! But I place him here because of my deviousness, his drive to do whatever he wants, and not letting anything get in his way. He's very cunning... like those snakes...

Hufflepuff Jane Bennet - gentle, loving and kind - she yearns for a family - all very badger traits.

From:

I've only ever read Sense and Sensibility, and actually, I'm not even quite finished with that, so I'm going to choose characters that all come from that book.

Gryffindor: Marianne Dashwood would have to be my choice, at least through the great majority of the book. She's impulsive and blunt.
Hufflepuff: Can there be a more loyal person than Colonel Brandon? He completely dedicates himself to Marianne, regardless of the fact that he feels sure she will never love him as he loves her.
Ravenclaw: In my mind, the obvious choice is Elinor Dashwood. She is the sensible one referred to by the title. She is prudent and knowledgeable, and she always thinks before acting.
Slytherin: I think Mrs. John Dashwood (Fanny) belongs in Slytherin. She definitely uses her cunning to ensure that her husband gives nothing to Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters.

From:

I was actually trying to find a less repulsive example of a Slytherin (house pride and all), but I think perhaps Austen has the same anti-Slytherin tendencies as Rowling.

Colonel Brandon is definitely drool worthy. And a definite puff. I love how concerned he is when Marianne is ill and the way he pours his heart out to Mrs. Dashwood.

From:

I completely agree with you about Colonel Brandon (and it certainly helped that he was played by the one and only Alan Rickman in the film!). From the beginning he appeared to be most a most loyal and concerned individual, and my respect for him only grew through the novel. He shows all the wonderful traits of a true Hufflepuff - loyalty and compassion until the end. And eventually he was rewarded for it, which makes it all the more wonderful.
