Hey gamerz!
As you can probably guess from the title, I am a huge Harry Potter fan. So, seeing as I'm sick and have nothing better to do, I am going to sort the characters from Yuri! On Ice into Hogwarts houses. I have put a lot of thought and research into this post so please share your opinions in the comments.
For those of you who are uneducated watermelons who haven't lived yet, I am going to lay out the rules of sorting for you:
1) There are four houses; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.
2) The Sorting Hat is responsible for sorting Haogwarts' students into their houses.
3) There are NO bad houses.
4) Each individual is sorted into the house that best represents their values. Gryffindor values bravery, determination, and courage, Hufflepuff values hard work, patience, love, and loyalty, Ravenclaw values wisdom, education, and wit, and Slytherin values ambition, pride, and cunning.
5) A hatstall is when the sorting hat takes more than five minutes to sort someone because they could be eligible for more than one house. Hatstalls are very rare and usually only happen once every fifty years.
6) If you really want to, you can tell the Sorting Hat what house you want to be in. Harry Potter did this in the books.
Now, on with the sorting!
