I'm sorry to those of you who aren't Harry Potter fans, because this month's editorial piece is all about the Hogwarts Houses!
I was inspired by a tweet I saw the other night on Twitter, in which a person suggested Velma could be a Hufflepuff. I know a lot of Scooby fans (and people in general) are also into Harry Potter, which gave me the idea: what Hogwarts Houses would the gang fit in? I'll admit my answers have changed since first seeing that post, but here are my thoughts: Velma - Ravenclaw Ravenclaws are known for their sharpness of mind and great intellect, and who better to be in that house than our Velma? Ravenclaws also have very creative minds, and offer great wisdom to their friendships. Being the brains of the group, Velma fits in perfectly with Ravenclaw. Fred - Gryffindor Our favorite trappin' boy is the leader of the gang, a quality that comes natural to Gryffindors. Gryffindors are also said in the books and films to display great courage, bravery, and chivalry, all of which applies to Fred. Daphne - Slytherin This is probably the one that's going to get the most disagreement, but I think Daphne fits best into Slytherin. Slytherins are incredibly resourceful, which makes me think of Daphne immediately. How many times in the franchise has she opened a door with a hairpin or found some creative way out of a danger-prone situation? Another Slytherin quality, self-preservation, is sort of present in Daphne at times if you mess with her...especially if you get her hair wet! At first, my thought was that Daphne might be more of a Hufflepuff, but after I noticed another person's categorization (credit for sparking the thought to Amelia Wellman, who you may know from the Scooby Dos or Scooby Don'ts podcast), it dawned on me that Daphne actually does share more characteristics with Slytherin than any other house. Shaggy - Hufflepuff Where does Shaggy fit in all this? For his nerdiness, loyalty, kindness towards animals and tolerance of spooky ghosts while hanging out with the gang, I think he's right at home in Hufflepuff. I'll admit, Hufflepuffs are suppose to have moderation (which he definitely doesn't have with food), but I think all the other common characteristics fit him well! Scooby-Doo - Hufflepuff Like his lifelong companion Shaggy, Scooby-Doo is also a Hufflepuff for the same reasons, I believe. Scooby is fiercely loyal and dedicated to his friends, even if he is a bit of a scaredy cat. This kind dog who tolerates ghosts and monsters galore for his four human companions is undeniably a Hufflepuff. And before y'all joke about it, I would say that yes, Scrappy is also a Slytherin for his "lemme at 'em" attitude towards ghosts and monsters, self-preservation ("I'm just a puppy!" was Scrappy's catchphrase in his first year and determination to fight. I hope you enjoyed this article, and if you are a Harry Potter fan, I'd love to hear whether you agree with my assessments or not! And you all are welcome to tell me what house you think you'd be in as well, I'm a Hufflepuff for life! haha

Seriously hate and am disappointed in Rowling after everything she's said, but still a huge fan of Harry Potter. I have to say, I completely agree with this sorting. It all makes sense to me.

I'm disappointed in her too and it was unfortunate timing that I posted this article right before she made some of her less-than-inclusive comments. I'm also still a big fan of Harry Potter and actually have been rewatching all the films recently during the pandemic! Still got part 2 of Deathly Hallows left to watch sometime this week haha.

Yeah. It's just really frustrating and hurtful as a fan, but I'm not letting it ruin my enjoyment of the story, and I'm glad you're not either haha. That's great! Just one left.

Great haha! What's next, if you don't mind me asking? 7/15/2020 09:24:05 pm
Not at all. You mean movie-wise? I just subscribed to Disney+ and I've admittedly never seen the Star Wars prequels, so I'm thinking I'll have to check those out in the next few weeks!

Oh nice! Disney+ is great. I've never actually watched anything Star Wars so you have me beat there. 7/16/2020 07:22:28 am
I've seen everything Star Wars other than the three prequel films (even the controversial Christmas Special haha), and I'd highly recommend checking them out if you ever get the chance!

Yeah, I know a lot of people who are huge fans. Its just something I haven't explored yet haha. I might have known shaggy was a hufflepuff and Scooby doo. My dad also watched it as a child. My dad didn't have a choice when I wached it. At the age of six. I didn't even have an ipad and I'm twenty. My first ipad was when I was eleven and I just started secondary.
