Big four Hogwarts AU

[thezmage]

So a few weeks back this board introduced me to the concept of the Bog Four Hogwarts AU (Rapunzel, Hiccup, Merida, and Jack Frost attending Hogwarts and all getting sorted into different houses) and it actually started my mind working somewhat. I had a very rough storyline idea merging all of the continuities as much as possible into a modern day Hogwarts and determining why the characters ended up there (Jack is "undercover" because Pitch has been making moves, Mother Gothel is letting Rapunzel go so that she doesn't look suspicious and to live vicariously through her daughter, since her parents never let her attend, Hiccup is the latest of a semi-magical line that considers themselves the only thing keeping the world from being overrun by dragons, etc.)

Then I made the mistake of looking up some fanwork. Admittedly I only looked at one, but I took some issues. With their sorting. I'm not sure I'd have sorted them all into different houses. I don't do a lot of fantasy Hogwarts sorting, considering that Gryffindor is basically a house for story protagonists.

Jack: I just don't see how anyone can watch Rise of the Guardians and put Jack Frost in Slytherin. He repeatedly turns down power, first from his appointment as a Guardian and then from Pitch. The entire movie is Jack's quest for knowledge: about who he is, what his purpose is, why he's the way he is. This would make him a pretty good fit for Ravenclaw, except for one thing. When he finds out what his purpose is, it's to literally laugh in the face of danger. Courage is his entire reason for being, how in the hell is he not a Gryffindor?

Merida is much more if a Slytherin, I think. After all, she was so desperate to retain her power that she resorted to poisoning her own mother, and it only seemed to upset her after she found out it wasn't changing her mother's mind. And sure, her movie is actually called "Brave," but she didn't look exceptionally brave in it.

Hiccup I could see in any house, really. He was brave, but really only in a group. He had the ability to work very hard, he demonstrated a remarkable capacity for learning with the dragons, and he pretty much stated outright that he was doing it for status. Ultimately I'd probably put him in Hufflepuff, considering that his greatest strength appears to be his ability to unite people with him.

And Rapunzel was very smart, and very hard working, but she definitely showed a whole lot of courage with the way she approached every new experience throughout Tangled. She was surrounded by new and unfamiliar territory, and she didn't back down for an instant or display the slightest hint of fear. Ultimately, though, her mother really did a number on her, and I can totally see her insisting to the Sorting Hat that she is not brave in the slightest.

But, anyways, those are my thoughts. I thought I might share them here, since this is the site that introduced me to the concept.

Your big four is pretty small.

I didn't choose them or name them.

I think people throw Jack into Slytherin for a number of reasons, with very few of them actually based on his actions.

Thank you for identifying exactly what I hate about that concept and nailing where I'd place them all.
