Sorting Bible Characters into Hogwarts Houses

{If you ever wonder what I do with those random pockets of downtime or late-night muses, here's a sneak peak.}

     I sorted well-known Bible characters into Hogwarts houses after finishing Harry Potter for the first time.

     I've avoided talking about HP thus far because it can get really controversial really fast. But if you ever wondered, I have read them (as of 2016), and I enjoyed them. (As for the morality of them: just obey your parents, and you're golden.)

     I identify with the house of Ravenclaw and was officially sorted into it on Pottermore. So though I am partial, I had a lot of fun thinking through Bible characters (and let's be real, people I know in real life) and sorting them.

Ravenclaw (stereotype: wise)

Queen of Sheba

Solomon

Rachel

Moses

Samuel

Job

Isaiah

Daniel

John the Baptist

Zechariah

Timothy

Priscilla & Aquila

James

Gryffindor (stereotype: brave)

David

Abraham

Aaron

Joshua

Caleb

Rahab

Deborah

Ruth & Boaz

Jonathan

Esther

Jesus (even though I believe He fits in every house, just as He fits every personality type)

Peter

Mary

Paul

Mary Magdalene

John

Slytherin (stereotype: ambitious)

Adam & Eve

Cain

Sarah

Jacob

Rebekah

Leah

Joseph

Miriam

Gideon

Samson

Saul

Judas

Herod

(If Peter wasn't in Gryffindor, he could be in Slytherin...)

Hufflepuff (stereotype: gentle)

Noah

Abel

Isaac

Esau

Naomi

Jonah

Elizabeth

Joseph

Pilate

Lydia

     A quick note: If you are reading this thinking "sacrilege!" I think you're missing the whole point. Hogwarts houses have nothing inherently wrong about them. It's almost like "typing" the characters using Myers-Briggs. Bible characters had personalities, and I am using the little bit of what we see of them in the Bible to sort them into an appropriate group. Nothing sacrilegious at all.

     Do you agree with this sorting? Where would you put Peter? Jesus? Yourself? Let me know in the comments below.
