I’m back with a Top 5 Wednesday after so long, and the topic couldn’t have been more perfect to help me jump back in. I did change the title slightly but this week’s topic is Top 5 characters that would embody my Hogwarts House.
It’s anyone who would be a Slytherin at Hogwarts and I had so much fun deciding and putting together this list. Just the idea of these characters in Slytherin with me is the best and the amount of trouble they’d get into put a smile on my face.
If you want to join in with Top 5 Wednesdays, make sure to join the Goodreads group and check out the topics that are updated every month.
Here’s my list of the Top 5 characters that definitely have some, if not all, Slytherin traits.
5. JUDE DUARTE - The Cruel Prince
Jude from The Cruel Prince series definitely has those trademark qualities. She’s hungry for power and hates that the Fae have an advantage over her because she’s mortal, and susceptible to their twisted magic. Jude’s overall personality is very Slytherin - not to mention how cunning she is to pull off a huge scheme to get control. I could see her in Hogwarts and possibly the captain of the Slytherin duelling club.
4. RONAN LYNCH - The Raven Cycle
I’m sure I’m not the only person that thinks Ronan from The Raven Cycle is a Slytherin. He does have certain traits that are probably more diluted compared to the other people on the list but I could see him coming from a conservative, pureblood family while he himself hates his upbringing because of that. I’m imagining him as Draco Malfoy during The Half-Blood Prince - just conflicted about everything.
3. QUEEN LEVANA - The Lunar Chronicles
Levana from The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favourite villains. Her distorted sense of right and wrong is so unnerving and put her up there with Voldemort for me. She is a frightening antagonist and her perception of the world is so warped that I love how unsettling she is. There’s no doubt that Levana would become a Death Eater and probably part of a group that idolises Voldemort.
2. MIA COVERE - Nevernight
Mia from the Nevernight series is all kinds of Slytherin. She’s vengeful, clever and quick witted and knows what she wants. Mia would be someone that doesn’t give a damn and wreak so much havoc at Hogwarts. There’s a good chance she’d become a Death Eater but then back out because she has nothing to gain from it. Her character is morally grey anyway but she is definitely a Slytherin at Hogwarts.
1. KAZ BREKKER - Six of Crows
At finally, the character that immediately came to mind when I saw the Top 5 Wednesday topic. It’s none one other than Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows. You cannot tell me this overly ambitious, calculating and power hungry character isn’t a Slytherin. I’d be surprised if anyone thinks otherwise. It can be argued he has Ravenclaw wit but that determination, the way Kaz is always one step a head and his need for power is scarily….Voldemort-ish. Wow, I was not expecting to come to that realisations but now I’m imagining Kaz as Tom Riddle. Let’s end it here!
So, let me know what you think. Do you agree with me or think some of these characters belong in a different Hogwarts House? I personally think all of these character have major Slytherin vibes and are spot on.
Also, let me know which Hogwarts house you’re in and what characters you think embody your house. I’m curious to see what your answers are.
That’s for this week’s Top 5 Wednesday and let me say, it’s good to be back and posting these again. I highly recommend joining in with the fun and taking part. Thanks for reading!
