Oh wow! Soap Opera...Harry Potter-style!
That would be interesting.

If Mr. Lowe (from The Great Debaters) who is actually a real person, were to be in Hogwarts. He would probably be a Slytherin. Sure, he was "brave" and debated often despite the odds and whatnot. But when it really came down to it, he was a pretty ambitious, sex/anger driven, and logical person. Ambition and logic are two important qualities in Slytherin. As a student, he would just be one of those other Slytherins. As a teacher, on the other hand, he would probably be something along the lines of Snape. Although he is emotionally-driven, he probably would learn how to just suppress his feelings to the point of having an apathetic demeanor.

I think that if Rand Al'Thor from the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, went to Hogwarts, he would be sorted into Gryffindor. He is very brave and courageous. He is just like Harry in many ways and could have been a asset in the last battle or anytime in the War. He would probably fit in better there than in his own world where everyone either worships him or hates him because of his ability to do magic-like stuff. He could also teach everyone how to use a sword or bow if they ever lost their wand and happened to have a sword or bow and arrows.

If Sasuke from Naruto was in Harry Potter, he would most definitely be in Slytherin. He is one who would do anything to get greater power and ultimately revenge his brother--even abandon his friends. As a Hogwarts student, he would be very popular, especially amongst the witches, but he would also be rather skilled at magic...just like Tom Riddle Jr.!

Awesome!
Hehe. I remember watching Lady and the Tramp as a little kid and Eng and Chang are Slytherins in my opinion.

Hmm...In the book, My Family and Other Animals, Larry Durrell would be a Slytherin in the way he's portrayed.
He always claims that he can do ANYTHING (but he can't prove it with his actions) and that's he's a great writer. His ego is generally pretty big. But anyway, he actually does become a pretty famous writer in real life.

If Dawn Summers, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, were thrust into the Harry Potter world, she would be the youngest teacher in the staff, probably teaching Charms. She would change the books, because she would probably find away to thwart the prophecy that says Harry must either kill or be killed because she has experience with these things.
Link: Beware, there are major spoilers for BTVS.

If Sora from Kingdomhearts joined the Harry Potter world, he'd be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher because of his experience with the heartless. He would change the books because he would probably get rid of Voldemort by himself with his nifty Kingdom Key.
Link: Warning: Will contain spoilers for KH1&2.

Looove this thread- particularly Dash Parr, Lyra Belacqua, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Dawn Summers and Larry Durrell!
Hmm. I have a load of ideas , and if I may be allowed to begin with the most bizarre of those:

Toad from The Wind in the Willows would be an excellent Slytherin. Actually, Slughorn reminds me of Mr Toad in many ways. I think he'd be a teacher- quite possibly Muggle Studies, because then he could show off his new obsessions every lesson- motorcars, carriages, boats- whatever he was crazy about that week, he would make his students study it. He'd always be telling the other teachers how to do their jobs, but he'd have a few firm friends anyway because people would find his eccentricities endearing and his pompousness amusing. (This would be before Toad's character reformation/redemption)

Jack Harkness from Torchwood- had he come into the wizarding world at a young age, he'd be a Gryffindor because of his impulsiveness and passion, but the Sorting Hat would have had to think about it for a good while. He'd start out as a Defence Against the Dark Arts assistant and would fall in love with several members of the teaching staff. Eventually, he'd be fired for having an affair with one of the older students (you decide which student you think it'd be!) and would end up working for the Ministry, helping to keep the magical world hidden from the muggles and keep alien activity involving magic secret from the whole world.

If the main characters from Pirates of the Caribbean were put into the HP universe, Jack Sparrow would be put in Ravenclaw and he and Luna Lovegood would become best friends. Mr. Gibbs and Neville would so get together and form a sewing circle/magic pirate club. Barbossa and Malfoy would join forces. Madam Trelawney would get shown up in reading the future by Dia Delma/Calypso. Snape and Cutler beckett would trade hair secrets. Voldermort and Davy Johns would so be disgusted by one another and yet have a healthy respect of the other's evilness. Elizabeth, Hermione and Ginny would so be best friends. Ron, Harry, and Will Turner would end up being utterly confused by the ensuing mayhem and Jack would start calling all three eunuchs, while claiming they have wonderful singing voices and should form a Wrock band. xd All the while Dumbledor and Captain Teague (Jack's father and Keeper of the Pirate Code) would be drinking fire whiskey and discussing what it's like trying to enact reasonable rules on juvenile minds.

Having read the three books they're from myself, I have to agree that Lyra and Rand would be Gryffindors, and that Aly would be a Slytherin. I'd actually love for the Wheel of Time to merge with HP because I'm sure Perrin and Remus would have plenty of wolf-y issues to discuss. exclaim

Jack Sparrow is too interested in short-cuts to be a Ravenclaw. The way he manipulates people is more Slytherin, but I understand that the pirate post was more meant to be amusing than logical.

All of the main "hero" characters from InuYasha would probably be Gryffindors....Hmm, that's actually a rather boring thought, but I still love that anime.

Know what anime I'd love to be crossed with the Potterverse? Fruits Basket! Momiji and Tohru would be the perfect Hufflepuffs! They'd be great friends for Neville. Uo and Kyo would likely be Gryffindors. Hana fails toomany exams to be a Ravenclaw, but I'd love to see her befriend Luna; they can be weird outcasts together!

Hatori would make a good Ravenclaw, but I want to put him in Gryffindor because Ayame, Shigure, and Hatori remind me a lot of James, Sirius, and Remus in their school years. Ayame and James are both big-headed, Shigure and Sirius are tactless and loving black dogs, and calm, responsible Hatori felt his "curse" was a burden on the woman he loved. Know what? Hatori can be a Ravenclaw, Shigure can be a Gryffindor, and Ayame can be a Slytherin (he does turn into a snake, after all) and they can be as close as the Marauders anyway! exclaim Shigure would definitely spend time with the Weasley twins if they were in the same House. They'd drive the professors mad if Shigure didn't have a book editor to torture yet. rofl

Prince Yuki would definitely have a bigger fan club than Cedric did, though I have no idea where I'd sort him. He's extremely intelligent, polite, self-controlled, wants desperately to be liked for who he is, and when he accepts the student council position (which he is as successful in as he is in everything else) it isn't because he wants power for himself. Where on earth does he belong?

Tohru, Momiji, and Ritzu are too gentle to be Order members, but Hatori, Haru, and Kyo would be good additions to it. Hana and Yuki can acheive Snape's mysterious aloofness that make a good spy; maybe they could do that.

Akito would support Voldemort even though he likely wouldn't be a Death Eater himself because he's so ill. He (Yes, I know the in the manga Akito is actually a she, but she masquerades as a man and I address her as such.) is an oppressive Head of the Family that reminds me of Sirius' mother.

Hopefully, once Remus' lycanthropy was cured the Sohma curse could be cured too. 3nodding
