wook77Random poll/discussion for the day...
In PS/SS, the Sorting Hat took almost a minute to decide where to Sort Seamus. Obviously it settled on Gryffindor but what other House could it have thought of?
Feel free to leave a comment as to your reasoning. I'd love to hear your input because I'm undecided.

Date: 2006-10-06 11:05 pm (UTC)To me, it seems their defining characteristics are loyalty and perserverence/stubbornness (it's a badger! ;-) ) and Seamus definitely is one to stand by his opinions and he's the type who sticks with people too - despite his disagreement with Harry during the later books, he had his reasons - and stubbornly stuck with them...

Date: 2006-10-06 11:18 pm (UTC)Seamus is very stubborn and I like your reasoning :).
Also - I've missed you. Did you have a good trip?

Date: 2006-10-06 11:53 pm (UTC)I liked Slytherin because he did try to advance. He worked for goals.

Date: 2006-10-06 11:56 pm (UTC)And yeah he's not a favorite character of mine. I don't dislike him, I just don't really care about him. *shrugs*

Date: 2006-10-06 11:58 pm (UTC)I mean, err, yes, canon Seamus.
I like him because he's willing to butt heads with Harry, really.

Date: 2006-10-06 11:42 pm (UTC)a: I don't see why it would take the Sorting Hat nearly a minute to decide Gryffindor over Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, it didn't take that long for Harry and it said he was "particularly difficult".
b. He can be quick to judge, as in the case of his arguements with HArry in OotP.
c. He only went to one DA meeting (ok, he wasn't being friendly with the rest of them) - but if roomates were really the true friends they are they would have trusted him and included him in the first place... even dragged him along for his best interests.
d. Even though he's a half-blood he is very close to his mother (the magical parent) and listens to her. WHere as alot of Gryffindors seem to go against what they're parents suggest.
plus if he was in Slytherin he could wear green, so it would be like he was barracking for Ireland all the time *grin*

Date: 2006-10-06 11:57 pm (UTC)I don't think he's quick to judge because those arguments were based on information he'd been told for quite awhile. That he believed the people in power was a mistake.
He was fairly loyal to his friends, even with the mistrust there.
I thought Slytherin because he did attempt to advance his own interests and do what can reward him or bring him recognition.
I like your point d. He is close to his mam but when it was shown that she was in the wrong, he rebelled. He also rebelled to go back to Hogwarts, if I'm remembering correctly and my HBP is at home and I've not been there in over a week so I'll leave that up to those that can research it better.

Date: 2006-10-07 11:18 pm (UTC)You mean like Ernie, Zach and all the other Hufflepuffs, as well as Ron, another second choice Puff? (The only house I wouldn't call quick to judge is Ravenclaw btw.))
WHere as alot of Gryffindors seem to go against what they're parents suggest.
Yes, some Gryffindor's but not Hufflepuffs. They're very conservative and familiar.
I can't argue against the advantage of green, though.

Date: 2006-10-08 12:22 am (UTC)And as for what I said about the DA, I think if Dean is so inffluential as Seamus's friend and that Gryffindors are so close that they would have taken Seamus to these for his best interests. I mean Voldemort's coming back (according to Harry) - half of Gryffindor seems to already be in the DA - but no Slytherin and no Seamus(til the end)

Date: 2006-10-07 12:06 am (UTC)Hat: Wow, you're totally a Gryff...
Seamus: Hey, a talking hat! That's pretty cool. Me name's Seamus, what's yours?
Hat: Er, I'm just called the Sorting Hat.
Seamus: Well, that's not right, you should have a name. Maybe I'll call you ... Humphrey.
Hat: My name isn't Humphrey.
Seamus: You have a strange accent. You're not from around here, are you?
Hat: ... I'm a hat.
Seamus: Well, yeah, that's obvious, but you have to be from somewhere. Everyone's from somewhere. Take me for example, I'm Irish. [continues for a while longer about the virtues of being Irish]
Hat: [interrupts after almost a minute] Yes, that's very nice. Now go sit at your house table, you GRYFFINDOR!
Seamus: Gryffindor. Cool. See ya around, Humphrey.
