Eddie Redmayne channeling Matt Smith was glorious to see. Newt is one of my favorite male leads in a movie because he subverts or just ignores so much of what the audience EXPECTS male leads to be. He's not an action hero, he's not outgoing and confident. He's just a guy with lots of book smarts and a lot of love in his heart. My feelings for the latest movie aside, I love Newt to death.
I wouldn't have thought of the Ninth Doctor in Hufflepuff, but when you think about his reaction in "The Doctor Dances", you kind of realize this is the first time we see the real him. The joy at being able to save everyone for once really invigorates him for the remainder of the season. It's also literally my favorite moment from the show's entire history. So, I agree. Hufflepuff. "Everybody lives, Rose! JUST THIS ONCE. EVERYBODY LIVES!!"
Doesn't work on wood until 11th. When War, 10th and 11th thought they were trapped in that dungeon War started a calculation to work on wood in the Sonic that completed by 11th's incarnation.
@@lunestiacrescent827 no, he set a calculation to be able to resonate and disintegrate that particular door, as far as I'm aware it still didn't work on wood after. I don't actually remember if he ever uses it on wood after that moment
You mentioned a lot of Hufflepuff at the end, and I think there is a reason for that trend as the Doctor obviously went through a lot in the Time War. It is as if he is trying to hold himself to higher moral standard after everything he has seen. I think that the Doctor's character involves traits from all houses, but I think that Hufflepuff is the one fartherst from his natural instincts after the war. That is why he feels it to be the most important. It is as if he is continually going against his inate nature and choosing Hufflepuff. And in the end, it is our choices far more than our abilities that determine who we are. We see this again and again in the NewWho Doctors. You mentioned Nine's choice in Parting of the Ways. But Ten also made a similar decision in the Sontaran two-parter, when he gives up his tactical advantage as he decides to go back on the ship and risk being destroyed himself only to make sure that he gives them a fair choice. When Eleven talks about "good men don't need rules", it talks to his darker impulses and his discipline to keep them in check. But it is perhaps seen clearest in Twelve, with his obsession with being "a good man", and also when he explains that it isn't about winning, but rather what is right and decent and kind. These are the Doctor's driving motivations. Without hope, without witness, without reward. I believe that the Doctor (or at least most of the latest incarnations) would all want to be sorted into Hufflepuff, since that is the definition of being "the Doctor" inside the Doctor's own mind.
Honestly, ive only seen 9-11, I'm trying to catch up by finishing 11's chronologically, and I have to agree. The doctor seems to be trying to cling to Hufflepuff traits as it's imo the most empathetic traits. I even get a sense that 10 is a bit of a Hufflepuff, but I totally agree hes a Gryffindor bc of his confidence. Watching 10 I very much got the vibe that he really loves humans and the worlds in general and wants to protect them, but he does have that cocky grandiose of a Gryffindor.
That would also explain why from 9 onwards there's a noticeable lack of any slytherin incarnations. The war doctor was, by necessity, a slytherin so it would make sense that all the incarnations of the doctor after him would instinctively shy away from any characteristics related to that version of themselves. Also it's interesting that before the war doctor, slytherin was the more common house in general, with even some of the others placed elsewhere having slytherin potential, yet that completely vanished afterwards.
@@Katherine_The_Okay Sorry - you're gonna have to do with Klingon and Sindarin two-way dictionaries to Volapük. They were privately printed in Gibraltar if I reckon...
I disagree on the War Doctor only. I think he's a gryffindor. He asked for a warrior, if you want a warrior you don't go to slytherin, slytherins are spies, assassins, tacticians and officers, they make the plans, give the orders, hunk every detail through a play it smart, taking as few risks as possible. A warrior is a Gryffindor, strong at heart, never scared to run into a battle whenever necessary.
Luna is superficially scientific in a very left field, unconventional and illogical way. She knows things that turn out to be true and real, its just that most people are new or uninitiated or blind to the phenomena and theories she presents. Her whole family are devoted to experiments and heedless of risks involved. The Fourth Doctor has sufficient courage and self-esteem and comradeship to be a Gryffindor but is in practice always distracted in a very Ravenclaw manner and not very deeply people-oriented. Reminds me of Hermione in blending the two aspects, but he is, like Luna, interested in strange phenomena and prone to very dodgy ad hoc theories, AKA making things up, while collecting data. 12th Doctor very like, only he tends to persevere in his quirky investigations to find deeper details, and this makes him more grounded, more accountable to rationality and more capable of feelings toward unusual characters that impress him. I would tend to buy to notion that Missy commands his loyalty due to their shared roots and heritage than to a sense of experimentalism. 12 and Clara really got into each other's heads and hidden personality traits and this led to an almost dangerous co-dependence with each manipulating the other to new excess, so they shared Slytherin tendencies, at least he chose to relate to Clara's Slytheriness. Well down below others argue Four is totally Slytherin and I can see that. His lunacy and distraction could all be an act to get others to dismiss him. I remember when he ran for President of Gallifrey to escape charges, and everyone totally bought his being drunk on power. I wonder if Trump is a Slytherin now.
I am a ravenclaw so I agree to this there are 2 types of ravenclaws 1st is the smart brainy intelligent ones 2nd is the creative wacky kind like Luna lovegood , Which explains why you I’m in the house x
Thanks, as a Ravenclaw I feel somehow flattered! Not that they never called me a weirdo, there's an Andalusian expression once applied to me by an office colleague: "Weirder than a green dog" 🤭🤭🤭
I can see every decision you made, but there's one that I want to make an argument against. I would say Ten is definitely a Slytherin. He is trying to do the right thing, but this is never in his own accord. In Fires of Pompei it'sa Donna, who has to remind him to save SOMEONE, if he can't save everyone. In the Family of Blood two part story he gives the family a chance, but in the end he is outright mean and nasty by giving them what they want. His relationship with Martha is a very selfish one. He may be oblivious about Marthas feelings for him, but he keeps Martha around, because he wants someone by his side first and only to show Martha the wonders of the Universe as an afterthought. In turn left you see what Ten would be without someone showing him the right path. In Waters of Mars he gives in to his superiority Complex. Ten is a Slytherin, who is kept in check by the people around him. AND you forgot to sort the Valeyard (and maybe the Dreamdoctor) since he is an incarnation of the Doctor.
RedClaw87 I would argue that Ten had the Griffindor’s hubris. Slytherin’s self assuredness comes from the idea that they personally are better than everyone else. Griffindor’s arrogance comes from the belief that they are infallibly on the right side. Ten always considered himself on the moral high ground. Not the most powerful, the most right.
I would argue that ten was a literal Harry Potter case. He had elements of both Gryffindor, through his belief in his own moral high ground, as seen when confronting Harriet Jones, but he also just thinks he’s inherently better than people, and acts like a Slytherin, as shown through his initial treatment of Mickey, him disregarding the laws of time in Waters of Mars, and him saying to Lumic “I’d call you a genius except I’m in the room. He even tries to talk his way out of everything and quests for knowledge like a Ravenclaw. I think it’d be a Hat stall, followed by the hat placing him in either Gryffindor or Slytherin, as per his choice, and 10 would choose Gryffindor.
I would disagree with the point of The Fires of Pompeii. In that episode he doesn't initially leave because he doesn't care about the people of Pompeii. He obviously does, all you have to do is look at him to see that. He doesn't save anyone because he thinks that he can't, and so he doesn't try. Donna finally convinces him to because she makes him realize that he could at least save _someone_ , even if he can't save everybody. He keeps Martha around not just because he wants someone to travel with, but because he likes her and wants her to travel with him. He only realizes that he needs someone to travel with him either while or after Martha traveled with him. It wasn't so much that he didn't have morals, just that he sometimes lost track of what they were. He lets his rage get the better of him, which I would argue is a very Gryffindor trait to have. Admittedly he was a bit arrogant and cocky, which is a very Gryffindor trait, but it wasn't so much of a superiority complex until he couldn't stand to hear people dying when he knew that he could do something about it, even though it meant breaking the rules. In breaking the rules it temporarily made him think that he was above the rules, until Captain Brooke's suicide snapped him out of it. Also, by the Dreamdoctor, do you mean the Dream Lord?
@@inkmaster5480 I completely agree with you (and the video's sorting as well). Because basically, what always annoyed me with the Gryffindors and Harry Potter and his friends was exactly what unnerves me with Ten. So yes - that all makes complete sense ;-) " He only realizes that he needs someone to travel with him either while or after Martha traveled with him. "
This is a really fun, unique sorting of the Doctors. I appreciate that you made an effort to look beyond surface level traits and try to get to the core of who that incarnation is and which house would be the best fit for them. Ravenclaw for the Twelfth Doctor makes the most sense to me since he's a character obsessed with over-analysing every situation he's in.
11 has the wisdom and wit of a ravenclaw, the loyalty and people-person-ness of a hufflepuff, the bravery of a hufflepuff and the "the doctor lies" of a slytherin. His great speeches were very ravenclaw His feelings and relationships with his companions are very puff His ability to keep his head cool in stressful situations is very gryffindor His resourcefulness, especially in the day of the doctor, is very slytherin. Though in the end I think he is definitely either a puff or a ravenclaw.
Peter's best power as a character was that "kicked puppy" look. And you can't tell me it wasn't intentional. Often times when he gave that look it was a "Oh... You're gonna make me press da button aren't you" look. And he was genuinely sad when he did it - but it was like "This face - this face == your last chance!" Also - btw glad you had fun on your convention trip. You look gorgeous.
I would argue that the Fifth Doctor is a hufflepuff in bad circumstances, his priorities are to his friends and feels much guilt over his decisions. His last heroic act of loyalty just to save Peri is a Hufflepuff quality
They all seem to do that though. It’s a fundamental quality of The Doctor that he will always prioritise the lives of others over his own life if it really comes down to it.
@@superraegun2649 that's true certainly but the likes of the Seventh Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor are more happy to sacrifice lives to save the greater majority. Whereas the Fifth Doctor is so sick of the death and destruction around him and the responsibility being on his shoulders that his desperate its not going to come to that, whereas the Twelfth Doctor would probably not stress himself about it as much
I think we can agree that some doctors present themselves differently to how they are inside. For example, 7 presented himself cheery and kind but was the darkest doctor and would do bad things to meet an end. The 9th doctor presented himself as ruthless and dark but when it came to it, he chose to die a coward than kill everyone. I feel 13 might be dark but present herself as kind as 12 said to be kind before he regenerated. But I feel she has some bad morales suffocating those spiders and willing to sacrifice Ryan's dad and not caring for people's feelings like when Ryan got slapped or Graham lost Grace. Some people present themselves differently to cover up their insecurity. A shy person might present themselves as confident to cover up their insecurity of being a lonely uncharismatic shy person.
@@thechosenone1691 that is certainly true with the 7th, 9th and 12th Doctors. You may be right with 13 but I think those moments are just inconsistencies in the writing. At her core 13 seems to be against any form of violence
@@tardisnet9487 Yes, I like the juxtaposition of their interior and exterior. They present themselves differently to who they really are to protect their insecurities. With 13 I guess we will find out as we don't really know much about her yet, as 7 didn't show his dark side until his second season. Depends if they make Jodie darker or keep her light.
I pretty much agree with your regeneration breakdown. Over all, though, when you look at the Doctor as the same man with that unchanging core, I'd say he's a Ravenclaw. Always his first resort is his knowledge and his gadgets, especially self-made gadgets. He has an insatiable thirst to KNOW, his curiosity gets him into nearly all the trouble he finds, and his brains are what get him out again. It's kinda interesting to me that the two big loves of his life have been a Gryffindor (Rose) and a Slytherin (River).
Yess!! People are finally realizing that you can be a smart, hardworking, cunning, brave, whatever person and be in huffle. Being in hufflepuff doesn't mean you're just friendly and humble and that's it. We got more flavor than that!!
Ninth Doctor is a Slytherin. He is very ambitious when he said he will rescue Rose and blow up every Dalek. He chooses his companions very carefully. Almost like a purist. Tenth Doctor is a Gryffindor with all the swagger. Eleventh Doctor is a Ravenclaw because he just uses his mouth and wit to scare off his opponents. Twelfth Doctor is a Hufflepuff. He is determined and is very loyal to his companions. He would go through hell for them. Thirteenth Doctor is a Hufflepuff. She is very warm and kind.
One ambitious moment doesn’t really define your entire personality. By that standard, Eleven is a slytherin because he ambitiously went to rescue Amy and take down that entire organization. And saying he “chooses his companions very carefully” doesn’t feel right since the only person he said “no” to was Mickey in the first episode. Twelve uses his wit to scare people more often than Eleven does. Eleven doesn’t really use his words to scare people. It happened in his first episode, but that was after he already did something to end the threat. Almost every episode he succeeds in is from his actions and not his talking. Twelve on the other hand has spoken his way out of a few situations. It’s not every time he succeeds, but with the Zygons, the Mummy, Missy and a couple of others, it’s his words that win the day.
@@yonatanyonatano1192Oh 9 definetly had high standards for companions. So much of S1 is about what does or does not qualify a companion, there's Mickey, but he also kicked out Adam and even Rose temporarily and was reluctant about Jack.
@@Ben-vf5gk That's not based on race or class, though. His standards are purely from a moral and personal level. Choosing who your friends are based on your personal experiences is something everyone should be doing. It doesn't make you ambitious. Ron probably would never be friends with Draco even if their families didn't have a rivalry. All of the Marauders chose not to be friends with Snape, but they were still Gryffindor.
@@yonatanyonatano1192 Aside from the fact that he seems to have a preference for working class companions I was only replying to you saying " he chooses his companions very carefully doesn’t feel right since the only person he said “no” to was Mickey in the first episode." It wasn't just Mickey, so much of S1 is about what does or does not make a good companion.
@@Ben-vf5gk I was talking about how he initially chooses a companion. I think their actions after being allowed to travel with him makes that an entirely different decision.
I completely agree with the second doctor as a Sytherin, definitely an act of dopeyness. The way his mind works, its sneaky, he watches from the cornors until he knows how to act, its truly brilliant!
I would Argue that Smith really isn't anywhere near to a Hufflepuff because of what is under his childlike outward appearance. The Troughton did it because he wanted his enemies to underestimate him, but Smith did it because he couldn't live with what he became in the time war. You can see that at any moment he can snap into an ruthless and brutal Slytherin. The moment anything puts him under duress, he just has to finish his goal no matter what. In his second episode he has to choose what to do with the star whale and you can tell how furious he is with everyone when he finds out what's going on. His childlike glee drops and he channels his inner 5th Davison and tries to do what he thinks is right, no matter the cost to the star whale. Next episode when he sees a Dalek he completely loses his mind and starts whacking it with a spanner. In A Good Man Goes To War you have the entire Colonel Runaway scene and the "good men don't need rules, today's not the day I find out why I have so many" line. He wants to be a Hufflepuff but deep down he knows that no matter how hard he tries he still thinks he killed almost two and a half billion children. Troughton acted like a child to hide from his enemies, Smith did it to hide from himself.
The 7th Doctor is the only Doctor we know the House for sure! He is Merlin... and based on Pottermore, Merlin was Slytherin. The rest i would agree, exapt the War-Doctor...he is Ravenclaw so much.. he tries to be hard and cold, but in the end, he cant help but doing the right or at least one right thing, nomatter the outcome.
But he's also the clostest to Dumbledore in characterisation. Remember - Dumbledore, just like the second Doctor, had this person of the loveable old guy that appeared as a grandfather or fathre figure to those around him, but in reality he was a manipulative puppet master just like the seventh Doctor was. And Dumbledore was a Gryffindor. Plus, the novels later hinted at the Doctor not being Merlin, but that another Time Lord was Merlin and that the Doctor basically just babysat him.
@TheBobBrom 7 is still the darkest incarnation to date. You never doubt his end-game goal for the greater good, but you will question the methods he employs to achieve it, despite the affable and charming hat-tipping and cheeky smiles. Those are just masking the devious mastermind at work. Manipulating his 'pawns' (companions), his enemies, the schemes wrapped within schemes, wrapped within schemes. If the War Doctor was never to exists and you needed to pick one of the normal incarnations for the Time War, 7th Doctor would have been your best bet. He would do whatever it took without a doubt. He knew 'nice' and 'good' were two very different things, and if that meant betraying friendship for the sake of moulding that friend into a super-weapon for the greater good, so be it.
Tennant could be a Ravenclaw because he's always intelligent enough to work out a way to get information. He talks his way out of situations. He also really enjoys learning new things.
@@Stargazer_Ley I would actually argue his voice is the greatest weapon. He's always talking, always on his feet in the conversation. Turning it around, giving himself the high ground. Yet still cocky.
1. Ravenclaw 2. Slytherin (I felt he was a Hufflepuff but your argument won me over) 3. Gryffindor 4. I'd argure that he is Hufflepuff lets say hes a Ravenpuff 5 Slytherin 6 Gryffindor 7. Slythein 8. Gryffindor or Hufflepuff I am undecied 9. Hufflepuff 10 Gryffindor 11. Hufflepuff 12 Ravenclaw 13 Hufflepuff Almost the same
Yup. Ravenclaw. It's that look in his eyes when he gets a new mystery. The whole Bill interesting him because she smiles when she doesn't understand. That's Ravenclaw.
Oh god, no not the 11th doctor. Matt Smith's doctor always has to do what is right, regardless of his relationships or consequences. He is definitely slytherin.
I think genuinely Eleven is a case where he starts as a Slytherin and becomes a Hufflepuff over time. Kind of like the Second Doctor Troughton (since that’s who inspired Matt Smith’s portrayal), only he actually takes the affectation to heart.
As a Two stan, I agree with you 100% on his analysis. As soon as you suggested Hufflepuff I muttered "no" and when you said you'd actually put him in Slytherin, I was nodding along. Absolutely. He is so intelligent and cunning, and willing to use people's image of him as a bumbling idiot to his advantage. But he's also genuinely a warm person, you can tell, so I love the note you added about how he could've chosen Hufflepuff and the Hat would've put him there, just that he's a Slytherin at heart. Thanks for giving enough of a shit about this show to give them all such attention!!
I can definately see why you put Jodie Whittaker into Hufflepuff, but my first instinct would be to place her in Ravenclaw. To me, her outstanding trait is her unending supply of curiousity. Previous Doctors have wanted us to believe that they always know what's going on at all times, and are keeping quiet about it until it's most impressive to show off their knowledge. But 13 never hides the fact that she has questions about everything and is in a constant process of putting all the puzzle pieces together until she finds the answer.
Ultimately they’re all the same person, so they all have aspects of all four houses, it’s to do with which ones are more exaggerated with each incarnation, and that’s probably why people will disagree.
a good video, except you made a mistake in the beginning. Harry did not CHOOSE Gyrifindoor, he said anywhere except Sylerthin, the hat CHOSE gryff for Harry, he could have gone anywhere
There’re all Slytherins, in Time Lord society the Doctor is a Prydonian who are characteristically devious, cunning and resourceful and the Doctor is the most Prydonian ever to graduate from the Prydon Academy.
I thought of the 9th Gryffindor as either more of a Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. I hadn’t really seen him as a Hufflepuff but when you think about that it does kinda make sense
Twelve is either Ravenclaw (as you said) or Hufflepuff. You can't be more Hufflepuff, than punching a wall for a 2.5 billion years to rescue your friend (Heaven Sent).
I (the ravenclaw) was watching this with my wife (the hufflepuff), and she screamed when she saw your ring! She makes pride jewelry, and loves that you're confident enough to wear it on a video. Great list, by the way!
I couldn't agree more about the second Doctor. He's my favorite portrayal from the classic series, but partly because he's so layered. He's fun on the surface and really fun playing off Jamie, but much darker and more manipulative when you actually look at what he's doing. He's a puppet master.
I once did a Doctor Who Hogwarts sorting. Didn't place the Doctor though as thought it would be too complicated, so just did the companions. If I remember rightly: Rose Tyler - Hufflepuff Martha Jones - Slytherin Donna Noble - Gryffindor Amy Pond - Gryffindor Rory Williams - Slytherin River Song - Slytherin Clara Oswald - Gryffindor Nardole - Hufflepuff Bill Potts - Ravenclaw Graham O'Brien - Hufflepuff Ryan Sinclair - Gryffindor Yasmin Khan - Ravenclaw
I would switch Rose and Donna around. Donna puts on a front of being brave and barreling into situations, but that front is created out of a deep seeded need for a connection she keeps missing. She's yelling at the world to protect her vulnerable heart, but in the end, it's about the people. She's the one who begs the Doctor to save just one family in Pompey. Rose, on the other hand, has an ease with people, sure, but that's due to a level of confidence she naturally has. She breaks open the TARDIS to become Bad Wolf, not because she's feigning bravery, but because she's confident it's the right thing to do. Everyone else is spot on.
I mainly thought Rose was a Hufflepuff as her action of pulling open the TARDIS was mostly to try and get back to the Doctor. She didn't necessarily want to fully save him, she just wanted to be beside him. And in her last episode in Series 2, she at first wants to send her family where they'll be safe but she still wants to stay with the Doctor, showing fierce loyalty towards him. She even claims at the start of Army of Ghosts "How long are you gonna stay with me?" "Forever", before it all came crashing down. That's how I felt Rose was a Hufflepuff.
The 12th Doctor has definitely got to be a Hufflepuff, although I do see a lot of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff seems to be where his most prized values are, cause you are right when it came to 12, his big thing was about being kind and on top of it there was his loyalty which showed as a duty of care, a duty or care which as we all know literally took him to the end of the universe. His sense of hardwork and unafraid of toil Which always stopped him from giving up, and his very moral personality which kept him fighting for truth and justice even if it wasn’t gonna work out in the end. And at the end of the day there’s nothing more he would have liked to kill him than his compassion, and by the end it is what killed him so I’m glad he had such a fitting end. He clearly has all houses in him like everyone else, but personally I do believe he most represents Hufflepuff.
Peter Capaldi was a terrible choice for the incarnation he ended up playing. He turned a Ravenclaw into a Slytherin through sheer incompetence by playing the Doctor like the Valeyard. Just watch Michael Jayston gaslight Colin Baker in Trial of a Time Lord and tell me that Peter Capaldi wasn't disgracefully similar whenever he tried to make everything seem like Clara Oswald's fault. The "You let me down!" speech might be the most hypocritical and tone deaf rant I've ever heard because Capaldi had been a terrible friend to Clara for the entire season and just expected her to put up with it. If John Hurt had been saying that, he could have saved it from conveying an infuriating lack of self-awareness by delivering it quietly, as if the Doctor was blaming himself as much as Clara. Peter Capaldi should have been the War Doctor and let John Hurt handle Seasons 8, 9 and 10. Capaldi always talked a big game but stomped all over the Doctor's principles for his entire debut season, then clumsily tried to repair the damage by suggesting a guitar and sonic sunglasses. Yes, those were his ideas, not the writers. Their only mistake in that regard was assuming that Capaldi had the faintest clue what he was doing, something that Capaldi himself has acknowledged. He knows he was completely wrong for the role. Honestly, if Clara Oswald hadn't been carrying Season 8 and most of Season 9 on her shoulders, I'd just consider Matt Smith to be the last Doctor. All of the true Doctor's looking at Gallifrey at the end of Day of the Doctor was a satisfying ending and in hindsight, I'm glad that Peter Capaldi wasn't included. I only put up with his lousy incarnation because I cared so much about Clara.
Really liked your choices! The only one I'd disagree with is the War Doctor. You're right, he wouldn't be able to be a Gryffindor and do what he had to do. But I'd argue he also lacks the agency to be a Slytherin. He's a Hufflepuff footsoldier, loyal to the Time Lords and fighting their war for them. He's not making the decisions, he's following orders. That's why he snaps and goes rogue at the end. And that isn't because he's not a Hufflepuff at heart, it's because that loyalty was used against him, to force him to do what he knew to be evil. A Slytherin would have done what the Master did and just bolted.
The War Doctor is a tough one. I get the feeling the nature of war made him snap, but what of that strange indecision? Doomsday Device Rose had to cajole him and press him, make him see, and then he remained pliable to the other Doctors arguments and particularly to Clara, who we have established as a manipulative (but in a good way) Slytherin. Clara performs to remind him of his Doctor obligations, just as Ten needed reminding by his companions, sometimes by actual Rose. Hmm I begin to think you are right, War is a Hufflepuff, responsive to his friends and loyal to his people, to the point where he must end their madness by unthinkable deed. A deplorable dilemma for a Hufflepuff, but good argument.
John Hurt's Doctor is definitely a Gryffindor. Remember, he wanted nothing to do with the Time War and knew the Time Lords were becoming as bad as the Daleks. There's a reason Paul McGann specifically referred to himself as "one of the nice ones". John Hurt was the rogue element that neither side could control, not an ordinary foot soldier. Even the way he carried himself conveyed a man who's fully aware that he's the most powerful man in the universe and because of this, he could afford to be affable when he wasn't on a battlefield. Hurt's Doctor was a perfect example of "Never underestimate an old man in a profession where men die young". There's a little moment where he's relaxing on the TARDIS' railing while Matt Smith makes a phone call, looking like he knows that dealing with a bunch of Zygons is going to be child's play compared to the Time War. Peter Capaldi had to rely on The Doctor of War's reputation in Hell Bent because he's only half the Doctor John Hurt was. Similar to Jodie Whittaker, Peter Capaldi had to stand on the shoulders of giants because he would have utterly ruined Doctor Who on his own. He's just lucky that, unlike Jodie Whittaker, everybody around him managed to prop him up. So Capaldi's absolutely a Slytherin. Even the way he treated people he supposedly cared about like Clara Oswald was manipulative and sociopathic until he FINALLY proved that he cared in Heaven Sent. I remember Peter Capaldi's face when he said "Stay with me" in Face the Raven. I didn't buy that he actually cared that Clara was about to die. His eyes were wet but I instantly assumed they were crocodile tears because the rest of his face looked like he was about to tell her that he INTENDED for this to happen. Why is Peter Capaldi considered one of Scotland's best actors? The man's expressions, body language and deliveries are far more suitable for villains than the Doctor. He's not even in the same ballpark as David Tennant and even Sylvester McCoy proved that he's better at delivering an explanation for why he treats his companions like crap. For all the problems in Power of the Doctor, McCoy excelled in his scene with Ace whereas Capaldi acted like a sociopath who knew he'd been caught and was desperately grasping for excuses when he pretended that he respected Clara in Kill The Moon. Honestly, I'm still pissed off that John Hurt and Peter Capaldi weren't swapped around. Clara's brief interactions with John Hurt in Day of the Doctor were glimpses of how damn good Seasons 8 and 9 would have been if she teamed up with him. Peter Capaldi single handedly ruined Season 8 and parts of Season 9 so if Clara, Missy and even Davros and Ashildr hadn't been carrying his dead weight, I wouldn't consider him a legitimate Doctor.
A good list and mostly right, there are arguments for 4th being a sylitherin, he can be just as ruthless as needed, and he is also the most utterly in human, though he can hide it when he wants to war is a Gryffindoor, he may have asked for this but he did what was needed, made the awful choice. and I'm Hufflepuff and proud of it!
@@rayrix2016 That's also because they presented an alternative he never considered. To me, the War Doctor feels more like a hufflepuff forced into the role of a slytherin by outside circumstances.
This makes me want to watch every episode even more!!!! So far been binging from 9th Doctor onwards in every bit of spare time and now on season 4. But don't have much time. However when I do have time and finish the recent episodes I am going straight to the first and going all the way through! (I would watch from the beginning but I feel like if I watch from where I watched when I was little which was the 9th then I would understand more then watch previous ones.) I need to watch more
The 11th doctor, Newt Scamander, and Merlin. These three characters have so much in common. The wisdom and knowledge to be a Ravenclaw The ability to get oneself into trouble that can only present on a Gryffindor. And they are definitely Hufflepuffs.
This actually kinda inspired me to see what Hogwarts house I'd be in, even though I'm not that into Harry Potter but hey it's fun....anyway, I got sorted into Hufflepuff.
I'd argue 11 is a Ravenclaw given how smart but peculiar he is. I appreciate that that basically defines all Doctors, but 11 does it in a very Ravenclaw way.
I mostly agree, except for our current doctor. My sorting hat had a hat-stall and allowed her to decide between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. That intense exploratory nature fits both houses, and while she definitely cares about her friends (which led to the Hufflepuff idea), if you look at the first few episodes, she was originally trying to immediately leave and just do her own thing (which is very Ravenclaw). It's too early in her run for me to know which house she chose.
@Rebecca Woolf Ah. Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff tendencies here (although not at hat-stall levels; my Ravenclaw is clearly dominant, while my Hufflepuff is decent and decidedly higher than the other two houses). I can buy it that she'd be Hufflepuff with Ravenclaw tendencies. As I said, my sorting hat had a hat-stall, so I'd find it believable if she had something around 40-40 Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and either could be more Hufflepuff like you or more Ravenclaw (but still more like you since I'm dominant Ravenclaw). But I do think she's got both at high and near-equal levels. Which is cool, 'cause both houses are awesome! :)
This is the problem with trying to sort _any_ Doctors into anything but Ravenclaw, though, isn't it? The Doctor in general almost always has strong Gryffindor and Ravenclaw leanings - and, depending on whether you favour the cosmic superhero angle to/interpretation of them or the mysterious traveller one, you could easily make the case that the Doctor in all is a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw. So I think, to some degree, these tendencies have to be corrected for if we're to have an interesting discussion about sorting individual Doctors. And, as a Ravenclaw (with tendencies from all other houses) - I don't think Thirteen really has (pronouncedly) _more_ of a Ravenclaw streak than many/most of the other Doctors, so I think Hufflepuff is a better fit. I still think you can sort Doctors into Gryffindor and Ravenclaw with this system, mind you! I sort Ten into Gryffindor and Twelve into Ravenclaw (with tendencies from all other houses - one of the most likely Doctors to be a hatstall, IMO). That's because Ten has an even stronger Gryffindor streak than _most_ Doctors do - and it's evident that it informs, to a greater extent, his personal philosophy - while Twelve's personal philosophy has more Ravenclaw elements to counterbalance the Gryffindor ones than most Doctors ever seem to do... and he was mostly a Slytherin-type character in his earlier days, something he retained a few edgy qualities from - but later on, he developed a lot more into holding tight to Gryffindor-esque and Hufflepuff-ish morals and sensibilities and never letting them go.
I don't know very much of anything about Harry Potter. I have simply come to commend you for bringing your geekdom to a whole new level. I have also come to commend all those who would argue the rules to this just invented game. Congratulations to all!
You know, I would always have called the Fifth Doctor a Hufflepuff but, even a little kid watching him on PBS for the first time, I appreciated his ability to do what had to be done even as he was just as sweet as honey. Probably because I was an army brat and those were the kind of men and women I grew up around and respected. As an adult, I can definitely see that he has a lot of Slytherin in him; he'll do terrible things to achieve good results, and he's fiercely loyal to his family/Companions. He is truly an example of the best that Slytherin House has to offer.
I'm not heavy into H.P. fandom. But lots of people in my various circles are, and they put their Hogwarts Houses in their profiles. Dual identities of Slytherin/Hufflepuff are more common than some would think (Pragmatic and ambitious in striving for their goals, where success and happiness for your friends is one of their goals). Like this quote from Terry Pratchett's _The Wee Free Men_ : “All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!
_Yes._ Speaking as someone who used to identify as Ravenclaw/Slytherin but is really more of a Ravenclaw-primary with tendencies from all houses, that is a good quote.
I'd argue that 10 is a Ravenclaw. Yes he's very brash, cocky, and full of himself...but at the same time he LOVES a good mystery. He's always trying to figure stuff out and finding solutions to the situations he's in. To me that says Ravenclaw
I can only go from the Modern Era as thats all I've seen but: *War Doctor: Gryffindor* (he's a warrior and a fighter, whereas slytherins would be assasins or spies) *Nine: Hufflepuff* (all the way. puppy in a leather jacket) *Ten: Slytherin* (it just seems like the best fit to me) *Eleven: Hufflepuff/Slytherin* (he adores his friends but sometimes acts like a vengeful god) *Twelve: Ravenclaw* (the boi literally chose to become a professor) *Thirteen: Hufflepuff/Gryffindor* (she posses all the qualities of a hufflepuff, but also shows the reckless and self sacrificing aspects of a gryffindor)
Wrt the "funny little man" Doctors--Two, Seven, and I know someone who groups Eleven with them--the ones who use silliness to be underestimated and put their enemies off-guard: I don't think it's *all* affection. I think Two definitely has that excitability and likeability is at least partly real: look how he is woth his companions, after all. He's not a sharp man pretending to be nice, he's a nice man who knows how to be sharp. Seven is the most genuinely cold of the three. He acts friendly to most "ordinary" people (that is, neither foe nor close ally) because he *prefers* being able to be nice. It's fake, but it's fakeness that comes from a place of kindness. Eleven is putting on a show, but he's putting it on even for himself. He's throwing himself into childishness and silliness so as to not have to face the darkness.
That would be great! I reckon: Rose = Gryffindor, Martha = Ravenclaw, Donna = Hufflepuff, Amy, not sure, Rory, possibly Hufflepuff Clara = Slytherin, Bill = Gryffindor (although there's also an argument for Ravenclaw, she definitely had a lot of intellectual curiosity) Yaz = Ravenclaw Ryan = Hufflepuff Graham = Gryffindor
I agree about the 2nd Doctor and actually I would put the 11th in Slytherin for the same reasons. He's so much more calculating and sneaky than he lets on and when he drops the goofy act, we see what he's really capable of. Like the time he tricked the Silents and brainwashed humanity to slaughter them, using their own technology. Or when he said he would save the old Amy in TGWW only to slam the door on her. Or the time he lied about his interest for the ganger factory. Or the fact that he traveled with Clara to figure her out, the fact that he faked his death and left his best friends in the dark, etc. Everything he does has a hidden purpose and he constantly lies to get his way.
Great idea for a video, and your arguments were all very well reasoned. There is an argument that deep down, ALL the Doctors are Gryffindors, since it seems to me that the core of who the Doctor is, is a person who is willing to risk/give their lives to help others.
That is more of a Hufflepuff trait. Yes, Gryffindors are very heroic and that fits with the doctors, but the Hufflepuffs do the heroic and dangerous thing because it is the right thing to do. They aren't being brave, but doing whatever is needed of them. I think that is much more in line with the Doctor's core philosophy.
I saw Paul McGann at Niagara Falls Comic Con 2017, and at the Q&A session, a little girl asked him which Hogwarts house he would choose for himself. With a comic flash of frozen terror, he admitted that he didn't know the houses (neither do I), but fortunately, being a democratic sort of fellow, he had brought his film student up on stage with him (special guests can be assigned a film student from Niagara College to handle the cash box at their table, etc.). He asked the film student for a recommendation, she chose Ravenclaw because he seemed very wise, and he looked heartily pleased and impressed. (Then the little girl got a hug and we were all super jealous. Dangit, I didn't know hugs were an option!)
So this is the essence of the video: 1- Ravenclaw 2- Slytherin 3- Gryffindor 4- Ravenclaw 5- Slytherin 6- Gryffindor 7- Slytherin 8- Gryffindor War- Slytherin 9- Hufflepuff 10- Gryffindor 11- Hufflepuff 12- Ravenclaw 13- Hufflepuff I would agree with almost all of these, but I think Ten is much more of a Slytherin. I strongly agree with all your other New sorting, though, and from what I've seen of Classic those seem accurate too.
My current feelings on this franchise and its creator can be found here: th-cam.com/video/LBi2OLY8ASU/w-d-xo.html
I like the idea, that the Doctor tried to distance himself from Slytherin after the Great Time War. Make Sense.
The Fourth Doctor wouldn’t get sorted, the Sorting Hat would explode after being on his head for more than three seconds.
12 is a house unto himself. And you know he'd create one.
This made me laugh out loud. XD
12 is Headmaster
Twelve needs to switch per season:
8: Slytherin
9: I'd say Hufflepuff
10: Ravenclaw
YES LOL
12 is a Slytherclaw that transitions into a Ravenpuff throughout his tenure imo

Eleventh Doctor is definitely a Hufflepuff, I can't watch Newt in the Fantastic Beasts films without thinking of a Wizarding World version of Eleven.
Deathlygunn i’ve made this connection until now and now i can’t unthink it
I can’t watch him without wishing he was played by Matt Smith. They considered him for the role by the way.
Ooooo I think of 11 as a Ravenclaw...until now... very good link and suggestion. Great thought!
well fun fact Matt Smith was approached to play Newt Scamander but had to turn it down because of his commitments on The Crown.
Eddie Redmayne channeling Matt Smith was glorious to see. Newt is one of my favorite male leads in a movie because he subverts or just ignores so much of what the audience EXPECTS male leads to be. He's not an action hero, he's not outgoing and confident. He's just a guy with lots of book smarts and a lot of love in his heart. My feelings for the latest movie aside, I love Newt to death.
I wouldn't have thought of the Ninth Doctor in Hufflepuff, but when you think about his reaction in "The Doctor Dances", you kind of realize this is the first time we see the real him. The joy at being able to save everyone for once really invigorates him for the remainder of the season. It's also literally my favorite moment from the show's entire history. So, I agree. Hufflepuff.
"Everybody lives, Rose! JUST THIS ONCE. EVERYBODY LIVES!!"

Wow, this is some industrial strength nerdom. Well done.
Industrial-Strength nerdom is the most effective form of nerdom. Just be careful not to get it on your skin. Super-concentrated, that stuff.
You mentioned a lot of Hufflepuff at the end, and I think there is a reason for that trend as the Doctor obviously went through a lot in the Time War. It is as if he is trying to hold himself to higher moral standard after everything he has seen. I think that the Doctor's character involves traits from all houses, but I think that Hufflepuff is the one fartherst from his natural instincts after the war. That is why he feels it to be the most important. It is as if he is continually going against his inate nature and choosing Hufflepuff. And in the end, it is our choices far more than our abilities that determine who we are.
We see this again and again in the NewWho Doctors. You mentioned Nine's choice in Parting of the Ways. But Ten also made a similar decision in the Sontaran two-parter, when he gives up his tactical advantage as he decides to go back on the ship and risk being destroyed himself only to make sure that he gives them a fair choice. When Eleven talks about "good men don't need rules", it talks to his darker impulses and his discipline to keep them in check. But it is perhaps seen clearest in Twelve, with his obsession with being "a good man", and also when he explains that it isn't about winning, but rather what is right and decent and kind. These are the Doctor's driving motivations. Without hope, without witness, without reward.
I believe that the Doctor (or at least most of the latest incarnations) would all want to be sorted into Hufflepuff, since that is the definition of being "the Doctor" inside the Doctor's own mind.
Honestly, ive only seen 9-11, I'm trying to catch up by finishing 11's chronologically, and I have to agree. The doctor seems to be trying to cling to Hufflepuff traits as it's imo the most empathetic traits. I even get a sense that 10 is a bit of a Hufflepuff, but I totally agree hes a Gryffindor bc of his confidence. Watching 10 I very much got the vibe that he really loves humans and the worlds in general and wants to protect them, but he does have that cocky grandiose of a Gryffindor.
That would also explain why from 9 onwards there's a noticeable lack of any slytherin incarnations. The war doctor was, by necessity, a slytherin so it would make sense that all the incarnations of the doctor after him would instinctively shy away from any characteristics related to that version of themselves.
Also it's interesting that before the war doctor, slytherin was the more common house in general, with even some of the others placed elsewhere having slytherin potential, yet that completely vanished afterwards.
I totally agree, nice comment!
I love your analysis so much 🖤💛🖤💛

Neutral. All except the war doctor
Chaotic Good
I disagree on the War Doctor only. I think he's a gryffindor. He asked for a warrior, if you want a warrior you don't go to slytherin, slytherins are spies, assassins, tacticians and officers, they make the plans, give the orders, hunk every detail through a play it smart, taking as few risks as possible. A warrior is a Gryffindor, strong at heart, never scared to run into a battle whenever necessary.
True but most griffindors I think would have to much of a morale complex to work with the master even under the situations of the time war
11th Doctor is definitely a Hufflepuff, I think the way 11 acts is similar to Newt from Fantastic Beasts who is a Hufflepuff.
I wonder if Eddie Redmayne drew some inspiration for Newt from the 11th Doctor; there are so many similarities between the two characters.
Anytime you're trying to sort a weirdo it's probably best to assume Ravenclaw. Everyone I know who's unconventional has been sorted into that house.
as a Ravenclaw, I can confirm
Luna is superficially scientific in a very left field, unconventional and illogical way. She knows things that turn out to be true and real, its just that most people are new or uninitiated or blind to the phenomena and theories she presents. Her whole family are devoted to experiments and heedless of risks involved. The Fourth Doctor has sufficient courage and self-esteem and comradeship to be a Gryffindor but is in practice always distracted in a very Ravenclaw manner and not very deeply people-oriented. Reminds me of Hermione in blending the two aspects, but he is, like Luna, interested in strange phenomena and prone to very dodgy ad hoc theories, AKA making things up, while collecting data. 12th Doctor very like, only he tends to persevere in his quirky investigations to find deeper details, and this makes him more grounded, more accountable to rationality and more capable of feelings toward unusual characters that impress him. I would tend to buy to notion that Missy commands his loyalty due to their shared roots and heritage than to a sense of experimentalism. 12 and Clara really got into each other's heads and hidden personality traits and this led to an almost dangerous co-dependence with each manipulating the other to new excess, so they shared Slytherin tendencies, at least he chose to relate to Clara's Slytheriness.
Well down below others argue Four is totally Slytherin and I can see that. His lunacy and distraction could all be an act to get others to dismiss him. I remember when he ran for President of Gallifrey to escape charges, and everyone totally bought his being drunk on power. I wonder if Trump is a Slytherin now.
As a ravenclaw I can confirm that too
I am a ravenclaw so I agree to this there are 2 types of ravenclaws 1st is the smart brainy intelligent ones 2nd is the creative wacky kind like Luna lovegood , Which explains why you I’m in the house x
Thanks, as a Ravenclaw I feel somehow flattered! Not that they never called me a weirdo, there's an Andalusian expression once applied to me by an office colleague: "Weirder than a green dog" 🤭🤭🤭
So, Luna definitely needs to be the next doctor.

Tenth Doctor is a Slytherin! I mean, TIME LORD VICTORIOUS! "You want a higher authority, there isn't one, it ends with me!"
I can see every decision you made, but there's one that I want to make an argument against. I would say Ten is definitely a Slytherin. He is trying to do the right thing, but this is never in his own accord. In Fires of Pompei it'sa Donna, who has to remind him to save SOMEONE, if he can't save everyone. In the Family of Blood two part story he gives the family a chance, but in the end he is outright mean and nasty by giving them what they want. His relationship with Martha is a very selfish one. He may be oblivious about Marthas feelings for him, but he keeps Martha around, because he wants someone by his side first and only to show Martha the wonders of the Universe as an afterthought. In turn left you see what Ten would be without someone showing him the right path. In Waters of Mars he gives in to his superiority Complex. Ten is a Slytherin, who is kept in check by the people around him.
AND you forgot to sort the Valeyard (and maybe the Dreamdoctor) since he is an incarnation of the Doctor.
RedClaw87 I would argue that Ten had the Griffindor’s hubris. Slytherin’s self assuredness comes from the idea that they personally are better than everyone else. Griffindor’s arrogance comes from the belief that they are infallibly on the right side. Ten always considered himself on the moral high ground. Not the most powerful, the most right.
I would argue that ten was a literal Harry Potter case. He had elements of both Gryffindor, through his belief in his own moral high ground, as seen when confronting Harriet Jones, but he also just thinks he’s inherently better than people, and acts like a Slytherin, as shown through his initial treatment of Mickey, him disregarding the laws of time in Waters of Mars, and him saying to Lumic “I’d call you a genius except I’m in the room. He even tries to talk his way out of everything and quests for knowledge like a Ravenclaw. I think it’d be a Hat stall, followed by the hat placing him in either Gryffindor or Slytherin, as per his choice, and 10 would choose Gryffindor.
I would disagree with the point of The Fires of Pompeii. In that episode he doesn't initially leave because he doesn't care about the people of Pompeii. He obviously does, all you have to do is look at him to see that. He doesn't save anyone because he thinks that he can't, and so he doesn't try. Donna finally convinces him to because she makes him realize that he could at least save _someone_ , even if he can't save everybody. He keeps Martha around not just because he wants someone to travel with, but because he likes her and wants her to travel with him. He only realizes that he needs someone to travel with him either while or after Martha traveled with him. It wasn't so much that he didn't have morals, just that he sometimes lost track of what they were. He lets his rage get the better of him, which I would argue is a very Gryffindor trait to have. Admittedly he was a bit arrogant and cocky, which is a very Gryffindor trait, but it wasn't so much of a superiority complex until he couldn't stand to hear people dying when he knew that he could do something about it, even though it meant breaking the rules. In breaking the rules it temporarily made him think that he was above the rules, until Captain Brooke's suicide snapped him out of it. Also, by the Dreamdoctor, do you mean the Dream Lord?
@@inkmaster5480 I completely agree with you (and the video's sorting as well). Because basically, what always annoyed me with the Gryffindors and Harry Potter and his friends was exactly what unnerves me with Ten. So yes - that all makes complete sense ;-)
" He only realizes that he needs someone to travel with him either while or after Martha traveled with him. "
@@inkmaster5480 Point well made!
I picture the 8th doctor as a Hufflepuff. The Night of the Doctor is to me a Hufflepuff kind of move.
I agree, Hufflepuffs always tryna keep it light

"Damn 4 minutes I'm bored yall got games or smthn??"
Gets me every time 😂😂
This is a really fun, unique sorting of the Doctors. I appreciate that you made an effort to look beyond surface level traits and try to get to the core of who that incarnation is and which house would be the best fit for them. Ravenclaw for the Twelfth Doctor makes the most sense to me since he's a character obsessed with over-analysing every situation he's in.
The 04th Doctor is the crazy kid who would rebel against the House system and go live in the forest.
Haha
11 has the wisdom and wit of a ravenclaw, the loyalty and people-person-ness of a hufflepuff, the bravery of a hufflepuff and the "the doctor lies" of a slytherin.
His great speeches were very ravenclaw
His feelings and relationships with his companions are very puff
His ability to keep his head cool in stressful situations is very gryffindor
His resourcefulness, especially in the day of the doctor, is very slytherin.
Though in the end I think he is definitely either a puff or a ravenclaw.
Peter's best power as a character was that "kicked puppy" look. And you can't tell me it wasn't intentional. Often times when he gave that look it was a "Oh... You're gonna make me press da button aren't you" look. And he was genuinely sad when he did it - but it was like "This face - this face == your last chance!"
Also - btw glad you had fun on your convention trip. You look gorgeous.
11th got to be so Hufflepuff because the missus aka river did all the Slytherin aspects for him.
Omg from here on out I will ONLY refer to River as the missus 😂😂
I'd say:
1: Ravenclaw
2: Slytherin
3: Gryffindor
4: Ravenclaw
5: Slytherin
6: Gryffindor
7: Slytherin
8: Hufflepuff
WD: Gryffindor
9: Hufflepuff
10: Ravenclaw
11: Hufflepuff
12: Ravenclaw
13: Hufflepuff
The "Ruth Doctor" (Jo Martin) is a Gryffindor. "I'M THE DOCTOR!"
Interesting choice for ten. I would have more seen him as a slytherin, because he could be utterly ruthless. Still my favorite doctor.
Mine too ! I think you could make an argument for griffindor, slytherin and ravenclaw with him. I can definitely see how slytherin would fit him.
Tenant played Crouch Jr in Harry Potter so I immediately thought Slytherin
Yeah, we Ravenclaws got 12!
Smith is literally just Scamander, that was all you needed for Hufflepuff logic. Literally the same person.
I would argue that the Fifth Doctor is a hufflepuff in bad circumstances, his priorities are to his friends and feels much guilt over his decisions. His last heroic act of loyalty just to save Peri is a Hufflepuff quality
They all seem to do that though. It’s a fundamental quality of The Doctor that he will always prioritise the lives of others over his own life if it really comes down to it.
@@superraegun2649 that's true certainly but the likes of the Seventh Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor are more happy to sacrifice lives to save the greater majority. Whereas the Fifth Doctor is so sick of the death and destruction around him and the responsibility being on his shoulders that his desperate its not going to come to that, whereas the Twelfth Doctor would probably not stress himself about it as much
I think we can agree that some doctors present themselves differently to how they are inside. For example, 7 presented himself cheery and kind but was the darkest doctor and would do bad things to meet an end. The 9th doctor presented himself as ruthless and dark but when it came to it, he chose to die a coward than kill everyone. I feel 13 might be dark but present herself as kind as 12 said to be kind before he regenerated. But I feel she has some bad morales suffocating those spiders and willing to sacrifice Ryan's dad and not caring for people's feelings like when Ryan got slapped or Graham lost Grace. Some people present themselves differently to cover up their insecurity. A shy person might present themselves as confident to cover up their insecurity of being a lonely uncharismatic shy person.
@@thechosenone1691 that is certainly true with the 7th, 9th and 12th Doctors. You may be right with 13 but I think those moments are just inconsistencies in the writing. At her core 13 seems to be against any form of violence
@@tardisnet9487 Yes, I like the juxtaposition of their interior and exterior. They present themselves differently to who they really are to protect their insecurities. With 13 I guess we will find out as we don't really know much about her yet, as 7 didn't show his dark side until his second season. Depends if they make Jodie darker or keep her light.
Ok, not gonna lie: The Scarf+The Tie= Perfection. It's just the ultimate combinaison of two amazing things. Damn it, what a glorious mixture.
I know, great outfight, if you go back and watch 4th DID wear a tie on occasion, not a slytherin one though!
Honestly, i kinda think Series 12 Jodie's a Slytherin.
I pretty much agree with your regeneration breakdown. Over all, though, when you look at the Doctor as the same man with that unchanging core, I'd say he's a Ravenclaw. Always his first resort is his knowledge and his gadgets, especially self-made gadgets. He has an insatiable thirst to KNOW, his curiosity gets him into nearly all the trouble he finds, and his brains are what get him out again. It's kinda interesting to me that the two big loves of his life have been a Gryffindor (Rose) and a Slytherin (River).
13th doctor is a HufflePuff. "Oh Brilliant!"
I think Hufflepuff personalities were just less appreciated in general until very recently!
Yess!! People are finally realizing that you can be a smart, hardworking, cunning, brave, whatever person and be in huffle. Being in hufflepuff doesn't mean you're just friendly and humble and that's it. We got more flavor than that!!
Ninth Doctor is a Slytherin. He is very ambitious when he said he will rescue Rose and blow up every Dalek. He chooses his companions very carefully. Almost like a purist.
Tenth Doctor is a Gryffindor with all the swagger.
Eleventh Doctor is a Ravenclaw because he just uses his mouth and wit to scare off his opponents.
Twelfth Doctor is a Hufflepuff. He is determined and is very loyal to his companions. He would go through hell for them.
Thirteenth Doctor is a Hufflepuff. She is very warm and kind.
One ambitious moment doesn’t really define your entire personality. By that standard, Eleven is a slytherin because he ambitiously went to rescue Amy and take down that entire organization. And saying he “chooses his companions very carefully” doesn’t feel right since the only person he said “no” to was Mickey in the first episode.
Twelve uses his wit to scare people more often than Eleven does. Eleven doesn’t really use his words to scare people. It happened in his first episode, but that was after he already did something to end the threat. Almost every episode he succeeds in is from his actions and not his talking. Twelve on the other hand has spoken his way out of a few situations. It’s not every time he succeeds, but with the Zygons, the Mummy, Missy and a couple of others, it’s his words that win the day.
@@yonatanyonatano1192Oh 9 definetly had high standards for companions. So much of S1 is about what does or does not qualify a companion, there's Mickey, but he also kicked out Adam and even Rose temporarily and was reluctant about Jack.
@@Ben-vf5gk That's not based on race or class, though. His standards are purely from a moral and personal level. Choosing who your friends are based on your personal experiences is something everyone should be doing. It doesn't make you ambitious. Ron probably would never be friends with Draco even if their families didn't have a rivalry. All of the Marauders chose not to be friends with Snape, but they were still Gryffindor.
@@yonatanyonatano1192 Aside from the fact that he seems to have a preference for working class companions I was only replying to you saying " he chooses his companions very carefully doesn’t feel right since the only person he said “no” to was Mickey in the first episode."

@@Ben-vf5gk I was talking about how he initially chooses a companion. I think their actions after being allowed to travel with him makes that an entirely different decision.
I completely agree with the second doctor as a Sytherin, definitely an act of dopeyness. The way his mind works, its sneaky, he watches from the cornors until he knows how to act, its truly brilliant!
I would Argue that Smith really isn't anywhere near to a Hufflepuff because of what is under his childlike outward appearance. The Troughton did it because he wanted his enemies to underestimate him, but Smith did it because he couldn't live with what he became in the time war. You can see that at any moment he can snap into an ruthless and brutal Slytherin. The moment anything puts him under duress, he just has to finish his goal no matter what. In his second episode he has to choose what to do with the star whale and you can tell how furious he is with everyone when he finds out what's going on. His childlike glee drops and he channels his inner 5th Davison and tries to do what he thinks is right, no matter the cost to the star whale. Next episode when he sees a Dalek he completely loses his mind and starts whacking it with a spanner. In A Good Man Goes To War you have the entire Colonel Runaway scene and the "good men don't need rules, today's not the day I find out why I have so many" line. He wants to be a Hufflepuff but deep down he knows that no matter how hard he tries he still thinks he killed almost two and a half billion children. Troughton acted like a child to hide from his enemies, Smith did it to hide from himself.
Actions are the things that define us more though. If he acts like a Hufflepuff, he should be a hufflepuff
I'm inclined to agree. Smith admits his baseline for playing the Doctor was Troughton's performance, which was unquestionably Slytherin.
10 is a Slytherin because he actually was one in Harry Potter
crouch jr being a slytherin is not confirmed so he might not be
If his father kept him a secret then he might of learned all his magic at home.
Barty Crouch Jr. was a Ravenclaw
@@runawayy99 I just assumed everyone working for Voldemort was Slytherin. I wasn't into Potter that much to care about details
@@edwardtimelord3614 nah Barty was a Ravenclaw and Wormtail was a Gryffindor, not all Slytherins
The 7th Doctor is the only Doctor we know the House for sure!
He is Merlin... and based on Pottermore, Merlin was Slytherin.
The rest i would agree, exapt the War-Doctor...he is Ravenclaw so much..
he tries to be hard and cold, but in the end, he cant help but doing the right or at least one right thing, nomatter the outcome.
But he's also the clostest to Dumbledore in characterisation. Remember - Dumbledore, just like the second Doctor, had this person of the loveable old guy that appeared as a grandfather or fathre figure to those around him, but in reality he was a manipulative puppet master just like the seventh Doctor was. And Dumbledore was a Gryffindor.
Plus, the novels later hinted at the Doctor not being Merlin, but that another Time Lord was Merlin and that the Doctor basically just babysat him.
@TheBobBrom 7 is still the darkest incarnation to date. You never doubt his end-game goal for the greater good, but you will question the methods he employs to achieve it, despite the affable and charming hat-tipping and cheeky smiles. Those are just masking the devious mastermind at work. Manipulating his 'pawns' (companions), his enemies, the schemes wrapped within schemes, wrapped within schemes. If the War Doctor was never to exists and you needed to pick one of the normal incarnations for the Time War, 7th Doctor would have been your best bet. He would do whatever it took without a doubt. He knew 'nice' and 'good' were two very different things, and if that meant betraying friendship for the sake of moulding that friend into a super-weapon for the greater good, so be it.
Next episode: What type of toothpastes do each Doctor recommend?
Tennant could be a Ravenclaw because he's always intelligent enough to work out a way to get information. He talks his way out of situations. He also really enjoys learning new things.
Books are the greatest weapons. He literally said to arm yourself with a Library. He's an inventory and curious to fault.
@@Stargazer_Ley I would actually argue his voice is the greatest weapon. He's always talking, always on his feet in the conversation. Turning it around, giving himself the high ground. Yet still cocky.
Well, Hermione is a Gryffindor, so those things aren't mutually exclusive.
I'm thinking he's a gryffindor and ravenclaw
Great let's see who I can headcanon as a fellow Hufflepuff. Nice video in my box this Sunday.
1. Ravenclaw
2. Slytherin (I felt he was a Hufflepuff but your argument won me over)
3. Gryffindor
4. I'd argure that he is Hufflepuff lets say hes a Ravenpuff
5 Slytherin
6 Gryffindor
7. Slythein
8. Gryffindor or Hufflepuff I am undecied
9. Hufflepuff
10 Gryffindor
11. Hufflepuff
12 Ravenclaw
13 Hufflepuff
Almost the same
Ravenpuff? I like it.
Where would you put the War Doctor?
Nine proved himself a Puff when he said "JUST THIS ONCE, EVERYBODY LIVES!"
When you got to the Second Doctor, first thought was definitely Hufflepuff. But I see what you mean by him being a Slytherin.
Slytherins unite!
Yup. Ravenclaw.
It's that look in his eyes when he gets a new mystery. The whole Bill interesting him because she smiles when she doesn't understand.
That's Ravenclaw.
Oh god, no not the 11th doctor. Matt Smith's doctor always has to do what is right, regardless of his relationships or consequences. He is definitely slytherin.
Ravenclaw generally is more about the humanities than the sciences, a very common misconception, wisdom vs intellect
I'd argue it's both
My thoughts:
Eccleston: Ravenclaw
Tennant: gryffindor
Smith: Hufflepuff
War Doctor: Slytherin
Capaldi: Slytherin
I think genuinely Eleven is a case where he starts as a Slytherin and becomes a Hufflepuff over time. Kind of like the Second Doctor Troughton (since that’s who inspired Matt Smith’s portrayal), only he actually takes the affectation to heart.
Me waiting to see what house David Tennant should be in,btw David Tennant was Barty Crouch junior in harry potter and the Goblet of fire.
I really thought the Eleventh Doctor was going to be a Slytherin, because of his tendency to manipulate the situation.
_He is._
Yeah he pulls the exact same trick in The God Complex that Seven does in The Curse of Fenric
@@professionalmemeenthusiast2117 And the way he manipulates the human population to shoot the Silence is dark as hell.
Don't throw out your opinion as a fact. No one wants to hear that.
@@Lanesra62905 I...never did?
As a Two stan, I agree with you 100% on his analysis. As soon as you suggested Hufflepuff I muttered "no" and when you said you'd actually put him in Slytherin, I was nodding along. Absolutely. He is so intelligent and cunning, and willing to use people's image of him as a bumbling idiot to his advantage. But he's also genuinely a warm person, you can tell, so I love the note you added about how he could've chosen Hufflepuff and the Hat would've put him there, just that he's a Slytherin at heart. Thanks for giving enough of a shit about this show to give them all such attention!!
I can definately see why you put Jodie Whittaker into Hufflepuff, but my first instinct would be to place her in Ravenclaw. To me, her outstanding trait is her unending supply of curiousity. Previous Doctors have wanted us to believe that they always know what's going on at all times, and are keeping quiet about it until it's most impressive to show off their knowledge. But 13 never hides the fact that she has questions about everything and is in a constant process of putting all the puzzle pieces together until she finds the answer.
Ultimately they’re all the same person, so they all have aspects of all four houses, it’s to do with which ones are more exaggerated with each incarnation, and that’s probably why people will disagree.
Woohoo! So glad to see my favourite Doctor (Nine) is in my house (Hufflepuff).
a good video, except you made a mistake in the beginning. Harry did not CHOOSE Gyrifindoor, he said anywhere except Sylerthin, the hat CHOSE gryff for Harry, he could have gone anywhere
10th Doctor is the Harry Potter of Doctor Who?
David Tennant was in the fourth Harry Potter movie so it makes sense
Omg that's what I paused the video to say to my cats!
As soon as you brought up the fourth doctor I immediately thought Ravenclaw
There’re all Slytherins, in Time Lord society the Doctor is a Prydonian who are characteristically devious, cunning and resourceful and the Doctor is the most Prydonian ever to graduate from the Prydon Academy.
I thought of the 9th Gryffindor as either more of a Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. I hadn’t really seen him as a Hufflepuff but when you think about that it does kinda make sense
Hes a hufflepuff that's been thru some shit, we're out there I promise 😂😂😭😭
@@alim.9801 That does make sense
We hufflepuffs got
Christopher ecelleston
Matt Smith
Jodie Whittaker
Twelve is either Ravenclaw (as you said) or Hufflepuff. You can't be more Hufflepuff, than punching a wall for a 2.5 billion years to rescue your friend (Heaven Sent).
Being a Hufflepuff, I'm thrilled 11 would be considered one. If I had to see myself in one of them, it's him. He's my favorite.
Same. I see myself in both the 11th and 13th doctor a lot.
I (the ravenclaw) was watching this with my wife (the hufflepuff), and she screamed when she saw your ring! She makes pride jewelry, and loves that you're confident enough to wear it on a video.
Great list, by the way!
Awww that's so sweet 😄
I couldn't agree more about the second Doctor. He's my favorite portrayal from the classic series, but partly because he's so layered. He's fun on the surface and really fun playing off Jamie, but much darker and more manipulative when you actually look at what he's doing. He's a puppet master.
10 is so a Slytherin. He's darker than you are making him out to be. 11 is not a hufflepuff. He's more of a Gryffindor.
I once did a Doctor Who Hogwarts sorting. Didn't place the Doctor though as thought it would be too complicated, so just did the companions. If I remember rightly:
Rose Tyler - Hufflepuff
Martha Jones - Slytherin
Donna Noble - Gryffindor
Amy Pond - Gryffindor
Rory Williams - Slytherin
River Song - Slytherin
Clara Oswald - Gryffindor
Nardole - Hufflepuff
Bill Potts - Ravenclaw
Graham O'Brien - Hufflepuff
Ryan Sinclair - Gryffindor
Yasmin Khan - Ravenclaw
I would switch Rose and Donna around. Donna puts on a front of being brave and barreling into situations, but that front is created out of a deep seeded need for a connection she keeps missing. She's yelling at the world to protect her vulnerable heart, but in the end, it's about the people. She's the one who begs the Doctor to save just one family in Pompey. Rose, on the other hand, has an ease with people, sure, but that's due to a level of confidence she naturally has. She breaks open the TARDIS to become Bad Wolf, not because she's feigning bravery, but because she's confident it's the right thing to do.
Everyone else is spot on.
@@taninhawk Fair enough.
I mainly thought Rose was a Hufflepuff as her action of pulling open the TARDIS was mostly to try and get back to the Doctor. She didn't necessarily want to fully save him, she just wanted to be beside him. And in her last episode in Series 2, she at first wants to send her family where they'll be safe but she still wants to stay with the Doctor, showing fierce loyalty towards him. She even claims at the start of Army of Ghosts "How long are you gonna stay with me?" "Forever", before it all came crashing down. That's how I felt Rose was a Hufflepuff.
I personally always saw the Twelfth Doctor as a Hufflepuff, as his main saying throughout his arc was "Be Kind" but that might be just me though
The 12th Doctor has definitely got to be a Hufflepuff, although I do see a lot of Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff seems to be where his most prized values are, cause you are right when it came to 12, his big thing was about being kind and on top of it there was his loyalty which showed as a duty of care, a duty or care which as we all know literally took him to the end of the universe. His sense of hardwork and unafraid of toil Which always stopped him from giving up, and his very moral personality which kept him fighting for truth and justice even if it wasn’t gonna work out in the end. And at the end of the day there’s nothing more he would have liked to kill him than his compassion, and by the end it is what killed him so I’m glad he had such a fitting end. He clearly has all houses in him like everyone else, but personally I do believe he most represents Hufflepuff.
Peter Capaldi was a terrible choice for the incarnation he ended up playing. He turned a Ravenclaw into a Slytherin through sheer incompetence by playing the Doctor like the Valeyard. Just watch Michael Jayston gaslight Colin Baker in Trial of a Time Lord and tell me that Peter Capaldi wasn't disgracefully similar whenever he tried to make everything seem like Clara Oswald's fault. The "You let me down!" speech might be the most hypocritical and tone deaf rant I've ever heard because Capaldi had been a terrible friend to Clara for the entire season and just expected her to put up with it. If John Hurt had been saying that, he could have saved it from conveying an infuriating lack of self-awareness by delivering it quietly, as if the Doctor was blaming himself as much as Clara.
Peter Capaldi should have been the War Doctor and let John Hurt handle Seasons 8, 9 and 10. Capaldi always talked a big game but stomped all over the Doctor's principles for his entire debut season, then clumsily tried to repair the damage by suggesting a guitar and sonic sunglasses. Yes, those were his ideas, not the writers. Their only mistake in that regard was assuming that Capaldi had the faintest clue what he was doing, something that Capaldi himself has acknowledged. He knows he was completely wrong for the role.
Honestly, if Clara Oswald hadn't been carrying Season 8 and most of Season 9 on her shoulders, I'd just consider Matt Smith to be the last Doctor. All of the true Doctor's looking at Gallifrey at the end of Day of the Doctor was a satisfying ending and in hindsight, I'm glad that Peter Capaldi wasn't included. I only put up with his lousy incarnation because I cared so much about Clara.
I dunno, wouldn't the doctor be in the same house no matter the incarnation? If I had to pick one for him overall, I would go Slytherin.
I'd say Ravenclaw, hes a scientist first and foremost!!
Really liked your choices! The only one I'd disagree with is the War Doctor. You're right, he wouldn't be able to be a Gryffindor and do what he had to do. But I'd argue he also lacks the agency to be a Slytherin. He's a Hufflepuff footsoldier, loyal to the Time Lords and fighting their war for them. He's not making the decisions, he's following orders. That's why he snaps and goes rogue at the end. And that isn't because he's not a Hufflepuff at heart, it's because that loyalty was used against him, to force him to do what he knew to be evil. A Slytherin would have done what the Master did and just bolted.
The War Doctor is a tough one. I get the feeling the nature of war made him snap, but what of that strange indecision? Doomsday Device Rose had to cajole him and press him, make him see, and then he remained pliable to the other Doctors arguments and particularly to Clara, who we have established as a manipulative (but in a good way) Slytherin. Clara performs to remind him of his Doctor obligations, just as Ten needed reminding by his companions, sometimes by actual Rose. Hmm I begin to think you are right, War is a Hufflepuff, responsive to his friends and loyal to his people, to the point where he must end their madness by unthinkable deed. A deplorable dilemma for a Hufflepuff, but good argument.
John Hurt's Doctor is definitely a Gryffindor. Remember, he wanted nothing to do with the Time War and knew the Time Lords were becoming as bad as the Daleks. There's a reason Paul McGann specifically referred to himself as "one of the nice ones". John Hurt was the rogue element that neither side could control, not an ordinary foot soldier. Even the way he carried himself conveyed a man who's fully aware that he's the most powerful man in the universe and because of this, he could afford to be affable when he wasn't on a battlefield. Hurt's Doctor was a perfect example of "Never underestimate an old man in a profession where men die young". There's a little moment where he's relaxing on the TARDIS' railing while Matt Smith makes a phone call, looking like he knows that dealing with a bunch of Zygons is going to be child's play compared to the Time War.
Peter Capaldi had to rely on The Doctor of War's reputation in Hell Bent because he's only half the Doctor John Hurt was. Similar to Jodie Whittaker, Peter Capaldi had to stand on the shoulders of giants because he would have utterly ruined Doctor Who on his own. He's just lucky that, unlike Jodie Whittaker, everybody around him managed to prop him up. So Capaldi's absolutely a Slytherin. Even the way he treated people he supposedly cared about like Clara Oswald was manipulative and sociopathic until he FINALLY proved that he cared in Heaven Sent.
I remember Peter Capaldi's face when he said "Stay with me" in Face the Raven. I didn't buy that he actually cared that Clara was about to die. His eyes were wet but I instantly assumed they were crocodile tears because the rest of his face looked like he was about to tell her that he INTENDED for this to happen. Why is Peter Capaldi considered one of Scotland's best actors? The man's expressions, body language and deliveries are far more suitable for villains than the Doctor. He's not even in the same ballpark as David Tennant and even Sylvester McCoy proved that he's better at delivering an explanation for why he treats his companions like crap. For all the problems in Power of the Doctor, McCoy excelled in his scene with Ace whereas Capaldi acted like a sociopath who knew he'd been caught and was desperately grasping for excuses when he pretended that he respected Clara in Kill The Moon.
Honestly, I'm still pissed off that John Hurt and Peter Capaldi weren't swapped around. Clara's brief interactions with John Hurt in Day of the Doctor were glimpses of how damn good Seasons 8 and 9 would have been if she teamed up with him. Peter Capaldi single handedly ruined Season 8 and parts of Season 9 so if Clara, Missy and even Davros and Ashildr hadn't been carrying his dead weight, I wouldn't consider him a legitimate Doctor.
A good list and mostly right,
there are arguments for 4th being a sylitherin, he can be just as ruthless as needed, and he is also the most utterly in human, though he can hide it when he wants to
war is a Gryffindoor, he may have asked for this but he did what was needed, made the awful choice.
and I'm Hufflepuff and proud of it!
I had 12th pegged differently, but you convinced me that Ravenclaw is the right answer
Let not forget the War Doctor was willing to activate The Moment.
VERY reluctantly.
@@Quirderph True but without the intervention of his older selves he would have done.
@@rayrix2016 That's also because they presented an alternative he never considered.
To me, the War Doctor feels more like a hufflepuff forced into the role of a slytherin by outside circumstances.
I agree
This makes me want to watch every episode even more!!!! So far been binging from 9th Doctor onwards in every bit of spare time and now on season 4. But don't have much time. However when I do have time and finish the recent episodes I am going straight to the first and going all the way through!
(I would watch from the beginning but I feel like if I watch from where I watched when I was little which was the 9th then I would understand more then watch previous ones.) I need to watch more
The 11th doctor, Newt Scamander, and Merlin. These three characters have so much in common.
The wisdom and knowledge to be a Ravenclaw
The ability to get oneself into trouble that can only present on a Gryffindor.
And they are definitely Hufflepuffs.
I’ve been waiting for this episode my whole entire life
This actually kinda inspired me to see what Hogwarts house I'd be in, even though I'm not that into Harry Potter but hey it's fun....anyway, I got sorted into Hufflepuff.
Same!
Welcome!
happy to be here! we hufflepuffs are a great breed. @@Dani_77709
Welcome my friend !
gonna get this out of the way all of them could be considered ravenclaws
I always imagined 10 as a Slytherin, especially by the end of his tenure, he seemed like a Slytherin in self-denial
Is it just me or would Newt Scamander be a great doctor?
I'd argue 11 is a Ravenclaw given how smart but peculiar he is. I appreciate that that basically defines all Doctors, but 11 does it in a very Ravenclaw way.
The episode heaven sent really shows Twelve’s ravenclaw side
We didn't get Hufflepuff's until the modern era. Yeah, war changes people XD
I mostly agree, except for our current doctor. My sorting hat had a hat-stall and allowed her to decide between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. That intense exploratory nature fits both houses, and while she definitely cares about her friends (which led to the Hufflepuff idea), if you look at the first few episodes, she was originally trying to immediately leave and just do her own thing (which is very Ravenclaw).
It's too early in her run for me to know which house she chose.
@Rebecca Woolf Ah. Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff tendencies here (although not at hat-stall levels; my Ravenclaw is clearly dominant, while my Hufflepuff is decent and decidedly higher than the other two houses). I can buy it that she'd be Hufflepuff with Ravenclaw tendencies. As I said, my sorting hat had a hat-stall, so I'd find it believable if she had something around 40-40 Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and either could be more Hufflepuff like you or more Ravenclaw (but still more like you since I'm dominant Ravenclaw). But I do think she's got both at high and near-equal levels. Which is cool, 'cause both houses are awesome! :)
This is the problem with trying to sort _any_ Doctors into anything but Ravenclaw, though, isn't it? The Doctor in general almost always has strong Gryffindor and Ravenclaw leanings - and, depending on whether you favour the cosmic superhero angle to/interpretation of them or the mysterious traveller one, you could easily make the case that the Doctor in all is a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw. So I think, to some degree, these tendencies have to be corrected for if we're to have an interesting discussion about sorting individual Doctors. And, as a Ravenclaw (with tendencies from all other houses) - I don't think Thirteen really has (pronouncedly) _more_ of a Ravenclaw streak than many/most of the other Doctors, so I think Hufflepuff is a better fit.
I still think you can sort Doctors into Gryffindor and Ravenclaw with this system, mind you! I sort Ten into Gryffindor and Twelve into Ravenclaw (with tendencies from all other houses - one of the most likely Doctors to be a hatstall, IMO). That's because Ten has an even stronger Gryffindor streak than _most_ Doctors do - and it's evident that it informs, to a greater extent, his personal philosophy - while Twelve's personal philosophy has more Ravenclaw elements to counterbalance the Gryffindor ones than most Doctors ever seem to do... and he was mostly a Slytherin-type character in his earlier days, something he retained a few edgy qualities from - but later on, he developed a lot more into holding tight to Gryffindor-esque and Hufflepuff-ish morals and sensibilities and never letting them go.
I don't know very much of anything about Harry Potter.
I have simply come to commend you for bringing your geekdom to a whole new level.
I have also come to commend all those who would argue the rules to this just invented game.
Congratulations to all!
You know, I would always have called the Fifth Doctor a Hufflepuff but, even a little kid watching him on PBS for the first time, I appreciated his ability to do what had to be done even as he was just as sweet as honey. Probably because I was an army brat and those were the kind of men and women I grew up around and respected. As an adult, I can definitely see that he has a lot of Slytherin in him; he'll do terrible things to achieve good results, and he's fiercely loyal to his family/Companions. He is truly an example of the best that Slytherin House has to offer.
I'm not heavy into H.P. fandom. But lots of people in my various circles are, and they put their Hogwarts Houses in their profiles. Dual identities of Slytherin/Hufflepuff are more common than some would think (Pragmatic and ambitious in striving for their goals, where success and happiness for your friends is one of their goals). Like this quote from Terry Pratchett's _The Wee Free Men_ :
“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!
_Yes._
Speaking as someone who used to identify as Ravenclaw/Slytherin but is really more of a Ravenclaw-primary with tendencies from all houses, that is a good quote.
I'd argue that 10 is a Ravenclaw. Yes he's very brash, cocky, and full of himself...but at the same time he LOVES a good mystery. He's always trying to figure stuff out and finding solutions to the situations he's in. To me that says Ravenclaw
Yeet got me some good doctors joinin me here in Ravenclaw and I'm lovin it
I can only go from the Modern Era as thats all I've seen but:
*War Doctor: Gryffindor* (he's a warrior and a fighter, whereas slytherins would be assasins or spies)
*Nine: Hufflepuff* (all the way. puppy in a leather jacket)
*Ten: Slytherin* (it just seems like the best fit to me)
*Eleven: Hufflepuff/Slytherin* (he adores his friends but sometimes acts like a vengeful god)
*Twelve: Ravenclaw* (the boi literally chose to become a professor)
*Thirteen: Hufflepuff/Gryffindor* (she posses all the qualities of a hufflepuff, but also shows the reckless and self sacrificing aspects of a gryffindor)
It’s amazing how many of these I disagreed with until I heard the explanation, and it instantly made sense to me
What fun! I don't know enough about Hogarts houses to comment but you made me look at all the doctors in a new way. Loved it!
Wrt the "funny little man" Doctors--Two, Seven, and I know someone who groups Eleven with them--the ones who use silliness to be underestimated and put their enemies off-guard: I don't think it's *all* affection. I think Two definitely has that excitability and likeability is at least partly real: look how he is woth his companions, after all. He's not a sharp man pretending to be nice, he's a nice man who knows how to be sharp. Seven is the most genuinely cold of the three. He acts friendly to most "ordinary" people (that is, neither foe nor close ally) because he *prefers* being able to be nice. It's fake, but it's fakeness that comes from a place of kindness. Eleven is putting on a show, but he's putting it on even for himself. He's throwing himself into childishness and silliness so as to not have to face the darkness.
You should put the companions into houses
Stripey Arse rose: slytherin
That would be great! I reckon:
Rose = Gryffindor,
Martha = Ravenclaw,
Donna = Hufflepuff,
Amy, not sure,
Rory, possibly Hufflepuff
Clara = Slytherin,
Bill = Gryffindor (although there's also an argument for Ravenclaw, she definitely had a lot of intellectual curiosity)
Yaz = Ravenclaw
Ryan = Hufflepuff
Graham = Gryffindor
@@purplecelery7380 Amy is a Slytherin, good choices, and this is just modern era
I agree about the 2nd Doctor and actually I would put the 11th in Slytherin for the same reasons. He's so much more calculating and sneaky than he lets on and when he drops the goofy act, we see what he's really capable of. Like the time he tricked the Silents and brainwashed humanity to slaughter them, using their own technology. Or when he said he would save the old Amy in TGWW only to slam the door on her. Or the time he lied about his interest for the ganger factory. Or the fact that he traveled with Clara to figure her out, the fact that he faked his death and left his best friends in the dark, etc. Everything he does has a hidden purpose and he constantly lies to get his way.
Great idea for a video, and your arguments were all very well reasoned. There is an argument that deep down, ALL the Doctors are Gryffindors, since it seems to me that the core of who the Doctor is, is a person who is willing to risk/give their lives to help others.
That is more of a Hufflepuff trait. Yes, Gryffindors are very heroic and that fits with the doctors, but the Hufflepuffs do the heroic and dangerous thing because it is the right thing to do. They aren't being brave, but doing whatever is needed of them. I think that is much more in line with the Doctor's core philosophy.
I saw Paul McGann at Niagara Falls Comic Con 2017, and at the Q&A session, a little girl asked him which Hogwarts house he would choose for himself. With a comic flash of frozen terror, he admitted that he didn't know the houses (neither do I), but fortunately, being a democratic sort of fellow, he had brought his film student up on stage with him (special guests can be assigned a film student from Niagara College to handle the cash box at their table, etc.). He asked the film student for a recommendation, she chose Ravenclaw because he seemed very wise, and he looked heartily pleased and impressed. (Then the little girl got a hug and we were all super jealous. Dangit, I didn't know hugs were an option!)
So this is the essence of the video:
1- Ravenclaw
2- Slytherin
3- Gryffindor
4- Ravenclaw
5- Slytherin
6-
Gryffindor
7-
Slytherin
8-
Gryffindor
War-
Slytherin
9-
Hufflepuff
10-
Gryffindor
11-
Hufflepuff
12-
Ravenclaw
13- Hufflepuff
I would agree with almost all of these, but I think Ten is much more of a Slytherin. I strongly agree with all your other New sorting, though, and from what I've seen of Classic those seem accurate too.
