What house do you think Tom would be in? Hp wise, it's for a school project.
OMG THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME QUESTION!!!!!
To be honest I’d be tempted to say Ravenclaw, since Tom is so intellectual, and very oriented towards academia. If you watch any of his interviews, he always ends up talking about something that could very well be found in a textbook: from the etymology of words to interpretation of Shakespeare plays or symbols. He is interested in knowledge simply for the sake of it, which I think it happens to be one of his best qualities. In layman’ terms, he’s a fucking nerd, and it’s awesome.
However, despite all that, I’m gonna have to say Slytherin. They also tend to love knowledge, and strive to learn about anything and everything, even if their main motivation is ambition. And we cannot deny, Tom is very ambitious. This is in no way incompatible with being humble, please don’t misinterpret!! Any person who dares to go into show business is greatly ambitious, more than most, and also confident in their own worth and abilities, a quality Slytherins tend to possess.
Charisma and diplomacy are both key characteristics of Slytherin House, and Tom has them in spades. The way he has charmed all of us is but an example. Even if we are rationally aware that a human being cannot be so perfect, he manages to treat his public image in such a way that emotionally we kind of believe he is. He is, in fact, benignly manipulating all of us into having a certain opinion of him (and true, there is a whole PR team behind all that, but they can only do so much). The fact that we can associate all of the Houses’ positive qualities with him, but have a hard time doing the same with the negative ones says a lot to prove this point of mine.
Also, he values form a lot: the way he talks, moves and in general, acts, is measured and precise but without seeming rehearsed or pedantic. This is yet another typical Slytherin trait
Last, but not least: he’s not precisely lacking in the hotness department, and we all know the good looking guys always got sorted into Slytherin!
