bby💕! have you done haikyuu characters in hogwarts? if you know about harry potter, would you be their sorting hat~🙈 i would love to hear your opinion!
hi ofc!!! i used to be very deep in the hp fandom so here are my thoughts on some of hte haikyuu characters’ hogwarts houses (which may be controversial lmao). i just did a handful of characters who came to mind, but if there are any others you’d like to hear about, please lmk and i’d be happy to sort them!
hinata could be a hufflepuff because of his drive and hard work, but i think about him challenging ushijima at shiratorizawa that one time, and i feel like boldness makes him a gryffindor. he’s always declaring that he will make it to nationals; to me, his dedication and work (more hufflepuff traits) are a byproduct of his bold claims.
bokuto is so gryffindor! i can see him doing marauder-y things at fukurodani, much to akaashi’s exasperation
atsumu seems like a slytherin, but i can’t shake the image of him as a gryffindor. the key difference is that he’s straightforward and honest about his competitiveness and even his selfishness, so while he has slytherin traits, he’s got a gryffindor mindset. (on the other hand, i feel like osamu may be a slytherin.)
akaashi is a ravenclaw through and through. definitely not a hugely ambitious person, and he’s so analytical and logical that he could only be a ravenclaw to me.
kenma is logical and clever, yet not ambitious/cunning enough to place him in slytherin
ushijima might have been the most difficult to sort, but i’m putting him in ravenclaw. if you’ve seen the shiratorizawa post-finals video, he’s observant and analytical, and while he’s not emotionless or heartless, he’s not so moved by feelings like the underclassmen are. he hates hinata’s baseless confidence because hinata has no evidence for his claims of beating shiratorizawa, which seems like a ravenclaw thing to me. not ambitious necessarily because he desires to win, but because it’s the natural thing to do.
kita is so dedicated and diligent and hardworking and amazing i can’t see him as anything but hufflepuff. he’s head boy material for sure.
kageyama is incredibly difficult, but i’m saying slytherin based off of his inherent characteristics. he’s setter because he wants to control the ball and the plays, he’s very ambitious and unafraid to call out others when necessary, and he’s a little bit selfish by nature. he’s like a mix of ravenclaw and gryffindor but with a more self-centered slant (when i say self-centered, i don’t mean narcissistic, but literally just centered on himself). it’s also a good foil for hinata, whom i see as a gryffindor.
tsukishima was also very difficult for me to sort, but he ended up in slytherin because i feel like somehow he would rather be slytherin than ravenclaw. but he’s not a slytherin because he can act condescending, selfish, or mean (i feel like that’s the logic behind most of the fandom’s sorting), it’s because he has self-preservation tendencies and likes to manipulate people his way for his means. he’s actually incredibly protective of his family and loyal to himself and his loved ones first. while tsukishima isn’t the most ambitious person, he’s more complex in his motivations than i think a ravenclaw would be.
oikawa is a slytherin!!! he just is. he’s got all the qualities of a slytherin, both positive and negative. it’s not because he’s portrayed as an antagonist character, it’s just how he is.
kuroo is difficult because i see why people think he’s a ravenclaw, but just because someone is seen as smart or nerdy doesn’t automatically make them a ravenclaw. he’s cunning and known as the scheming captain for a reason.
