For those who watch both Harry Potter and Wild Kratts!

A very real question.

• What hogwarts houses would each Wild Kratt member be in?

• What would be their patronum?

• If they brought a pet what would it be?

I REALLY want to know because I just saw Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald and got that crazy idea, despite suffering from a migraine that was horrible. 💗💙💚💛

@songs-of-the-lost-generation  I think this is up your alley, what you think?

Oh gosh… I didn’t think I would be consulted for something like this! (Also this is overdue I’m sorry e.e)

I would like to give a response with past discussions about Hogwarts houses for the crew in past in mind. Particularly, @empress-penguin tackled this concept twice in the past two ways for the brothers. The first was just general sorting by feel, however you just look at characters and just, decide where they go. The second way is by the guidelines of @sortinghatchats, where there is a primary and secondary house for a given character. However, for keeping this simple and clean, we won’t really talk about the latter system (though feel free to check out their blog though for info and you can hmu if you want to discuss more in-depth about how this particular system applies to the crew).

Jimmy is definitely a Hufflepuff I would say… and while we’re at it, so would Koki imo. She’s just as capable of the stunts as Aviva, but she definitely rivals Jimmy in keeping a clear and grounded head. In fact, she seems to prefer order and is averse to taking unnecessary risks (I believe the flying fish episode showcased this the best when she reiterated the lesson). She’s only just somewhat less Done compared to Aviva 😛 even if she’s all-too willing to call out the brothers on their nonsense. I don’t believe that equates to being a Gryffindor trait though; she seems more like the type that’s satisfied with just working the day-to-day tasks in the background without need for outright celebration (though she would still like appreciation- anyone would). In conclusion, Koki values honesty in her words AND her work.

With confidence, I can say that Hufflepuff isn’t a priority house for Aviva. I won’t deny that Aviva still cares for her team: she really does. But with that being said, I don’t think community values are a strong suit of Aviva… she only has more sense than the brothers, but she’s still capable of diving headfirst into things (sometimes BECAUSE she cares for the brothers, but also other times… for her own reasons). Another house to knock off the list could be Slytherin. For the same reasons as Chris, the house doesn’t really complete Aviva’s character. Sure, she’s somewhat ambitious and cunning, and she’ll defend her pride when threatened, but that’s not all who Aviva is. Aviva will Fight for creatures in danger and go through hell and back for the crew, all while as a genius inventor looking for ways to improve tech and learn about creatures. So, we’ve narrowed the list down to Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. In my opinion, based on what she does and the fact that her genius intellect and fit of emotions sometimes floats beyond the reach of common sense, I’ll have to relent Ravenclaw. I mean, I’m interested in the opinion of the fandom on this too. 

Okay uh the brothers. Well. For one thing, Chris will most likely follow wherever Martin ends up. And where they’ll end up are either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor… The former is incredibly tempting because as @empress-penguin said in her post, the unconventional, hands-on methods of the brothers add a lot of spice and flair to what they can contribute to the house. Most Ravenclaws depicted seem to be content with just research and theory via books, as is the stereotypical portrayal of an incredibly studious and academic student, but Ravenclaws also value breaking the norm. Any method is worth looking into as long as it yields information and efficiency. As also pointed out by @empress-penguin, the brothers’ preferred method of saving creatures (either by disasters, society, or villains) is through education. They value knowledge like, a lot. But to counteract that, the brothers also value saving the creatures probably like a bit more. Yeah, they’re headstrong, active, and morally-driven men that wants to make a difference in the world. 

I’ll yield and say that Chris is a bit more Ravenclaw because of his preference for planning and preparation with tools Fit for the job while Martin has thrown his life on the line more than once for creatures, tugging him towards Gryffindor. I mean, I’m just as interested if they happen to be pulled towards different houses by the Hat but remember that the Hat also considers choices by the student. Chris might just end up asking to be in the same house as Martin (or not), and for the reasons above, both will do fine in wherever they go.

But hey, academic and knowledge-pursuing Kratts in Gryffindor also has its own appeal much like the unconventional methods of the brothers in Ravenclaw 🙂
