Just because I know everyone isn’t going to agree with my housing choices, and to avoid getting a hundred comments asking me why I made these choices, I’m going to go ahead and explain why I put each person in the house that I did. I’d love to hear what you guys think, and whether you agree with me or not.

Santana (Slytherin): Do I even need to explain?

Brittney (Hufflepuff): Sometimes Santana’s Slytherin qualities rub off on her, but over all she’s a friendly girl who accepts people (also goes along with the negative stereotype that Hufflepuff isn’t the brightest house).

Rachel (Slytherin): To quote Kurt, her ambition does push ups in her sleep. Though she’s not as vindictive as many of the Slytherins in Harry Potter she pretty much is the embodiment of all the Slytherin characteristics.

Finn (Hufflepuff): Finn is friendly, works hard to uphold all his responsibilities, and tries to accept everyone. (and again, not the brightest). For those who think he’s a Gryffindor I remind you that in S1 and 2 he was not very brave about his reputation, constantly worrying what people thought of him, and the instances that he was brave it’s usually because Rachel, Schuester, or Kurt pushed him to act that way.

Puck (Gryffindor): I know a lot of people would put Puck in Slytherin because he’s a self proclaimed bad ass and he claims to have ambitions, but Puck is far too "in the moment" to truly be one. He constantly acts without thinking of the consequences. He’s very hot-blooded. He never plans ahead. He’s completely fearless. I mean he’s been in how many fights, slashed tires, ran a car into an ATM and drove off with the money. I mean he tried to date Rachel, Quinn, Lauren, and a teacher (enough said).

Kurt (Ravenclaw): (This is a long one, just warning you) I honestly believe you could make a strong case for Kurt in just about every house. He's brave, he's cunning and ambitious, and he's very clever. The only way I can think to explain my decision fully is to go house by house

I tend not to think of Kurt as Gryffindor (even though I’ve heard others passionately maintain that he is) because, though he is brave, he’s not hot-blooded. Kurt isn’t going to jump into a fight or act on instinct without thinking. He thinks about the best way to face adversity. Kurt’s bravery isn’t something he was necessarily born with either. I think it’s something he’s been forced to develop due to all the bullying he’s endured throughout his lifetime. When you’re bullied you either curl up in a ball and accept it or you stand up for yourself. I think there are a lot of people who you wouldn't necessarily place in Gryffindor who would stand up for themselves if they were harassed the way he has been.

Since S1 I’ve always thought of Kurt as a Slytherin. He was plotting, scheming, and ambitious, and he never hesitated to use underhanded tactics, like when he sabotaged Rachel by dressing her as a clown hooker or when he tried to get her kicked out if she dated Jesse. (I even made him a Slytherin in a Glee/Hogwarts comic I just did.) But this last year he hasn't acted anything like that. He fought a clean fight in the campaign when he could have used Slytherin ends-justify-the-means logic to cheat. He didn’t seek vengeance on Sebastian when he easily could have (and probably should have). He’s changed so much since S1, and his once perfect Slytherin characteristics are now barley recognizable. Slytherins are also supposed to be extremely traditional (Kurt spits in the face of tradition). And while Slytherins think they’re better than everyone because of some kind of birthright Ravenclaws tend to think they are better than everyone because they’re smarter.

Ravenclaws are very clever. Pottermore also defines Ravenclaw as extremely eccentric and individualistic (wearing what you want to wear and doing what you want to do regardless of what people think). Which I think is kind of perfect for Kurt.

As for Hufflepuff, I just don’t think he is one. He’s not particularly friendly, which is apparently one of their major defining characteristics. He tends to be icy and only becomes close friends with someone after he’s known them a while, rather than making a lot of casual friends easily. Let’s face it, he’s not humble either.

Blaine (Hufflepuff): He’s extremely friendly, he works hard, and he tends to accepts everyone. Though he’s not exactly dim witted Blaine is very oblivious (which is why they’d kick him out of Ravenclaw). And though some may be tempted to dress him in red and gold because of AVPM, Blaine ran away from bullies and let Finn dump all over him for months. He doesn’t stand up for himself (unless pushed really far) because he avoids conflict. He’s a people pleaser. And If you need anymore proof just look at his derp smile. He’s a Puff all the way.

Mercedes (Gryffindor): She stood up to Sue and Kurt when they tried to guilt her about dieting, she stood up to Puck when he tried to uphold the “social order” by bullying, she’s stood up to Santana, Rachel, and Schu on multiple occasions, and she held on to her faith even when it caused a rift between her and Kurt.

Sam (Gryffindor): This is a guy with some balls. He fought Karofsy without flinching. He bared his heart to Quinn with a promise ring after like one date, just asking for it to get stepped on. He’s constantly threw himself at Mercedes when her boyfriend was like a beast who could've easily kick the crap out of Sam. And, let’s face it, he was brave enough to get up on a stripper stage (not sure I’d have the balls lol).

Quinn (Slytherin): It was a really hard decision between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. It’s like she has a split personality. One Quinn is scheming, ambitious, and will do whatever it takes to get what she wants (the perfect Slytherin), and the other is sweet, level headed and smart enough to get into Yale. While I’m pretty sure Quinn will spend the rest of the season being more like her Ravenclaw self, she has spent the majority of her time on the show acting Slytherin (First half of S1, most of S2, and the first half of S3), but what really clinched it for me was her Loosey Caboosy past. This is a girl who changed everything about herself to get ahead, and she continues to embrace many of those changes. Someone who is even capable of changing themselves that much to fit in is not okay being eccentric or being an individual the way a Ravenclaw would.

Artie and Mike (Ravenclaw): Kind of goes without saying.

Tina (Ravenclaw): She's in scholastic decathlon. She’s extremely eccentric, if her style is anything to go by. And the fact that she pretended to have a stutter so long proves she’s something of an individual.

For anyone who’s curious I think the Heads of house would go as follows:

Sue Sylvester (Slytherin)
Shannon Bieste (Hufflepuff)
Emma Pillsbury (Ravenclaw)
Will Schuester (Gryffindor) (Though, I actually think he's more Slytherin, he's been referred to as "the golden boy", and frankly I just needed a Gryffindor head.)

With the kids in these houses I think I’d want to be a Hufflepuff, especially with Bieste as our Head of house, seems like a fun bunch (but I'm really something like a Slytherclaw.)
