Jane Austen's books may not involve wizards and magical beasts, but her heroines would make great students at Emma. The female protagonist is in each Austen film and television show is incredibly unique, so all of their Hogwarts houses all differ.
Some of the character's sortings are straightforward, like Jane being in Hufflepuff due to her kindness. However, a few of Austen's heroines are more complicated, requiring in-depth contemplation about which house they should .
Elizabeth Bennet - Ravenclaw
Ravenclaws are famous for being clever, and there's no Austen heroine as clever as Elizabeth Bennet. In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth spends most of her days reading books. Therefore, if she went to Hogwarts, she'd spend most of her time in the library, as many Ravenclaws do.
Elizabeth is also witty, leading her to deliver some of the most memorable lines in Pride and Prejudice. However, while Ravenclaws are intelligent, they're often too judgmental. Elizabeth's prejudice causes her to misjudge Mr. Darcy, and it takes her a long time to understand who he truly is.
Catherine Morland - Hufflepuff
Like all good Hufflepuffs, Catherine from Northanger Abbey tries to see the best in people. While this causes her to be oblivious to the ill-intentions of John and Isabella Thorpe, she also gains many friends, such as Henry and Eleanor Tilney.
Additionally, Hufflepuffs take it hard when others think badly of them. So, when Mr. Tilney catches Catherine in his mother's old room, looking for clues that his father was involved in her death, she's deeply apologetic. However, Catherine has a pure heart worthy of the Hufflepuff house, so Mr. Tilney eventually forgives her.
Emma Woodhouse - Slytherin
Emma Woodhouse from Emma believes that she knows best for everyone like many Slytherins do. Emma's cunning, as she's able to manipulate Harriet to become attached to Mr. Elton. But while Emma does this with the best of intentions, her matchmaking doesn't go well. Emma's shallowness causes her to cast aside Mr. Martin, who loves Harriet.
Emma's elitism is similar to Draco Malfoy's, who looks down at non-pureblood wizards. However, Emma's Slytherin priorities are also irable. She makes sacrifices for her father, remaining at his estate even after she marries Mr. Knightley.
Elinor Dashwood - Gryffindor
One of the best Jane Austen heroines is Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility, whose courage puts her in the house of the lion. For example, she holds firm to her convictions, conserving her feelings for Edward when she learns he's secretly engaged to another.
Elinor's sensibility about love makes her the least idealistic Austen heroine, but also the bravest, as she's prepared to give up her happiness to preserve Edward's good name. Additionally, she takes the family's move away from Norland in stride, embracing the changes in her life.
Anne Elliot - Hufflepuff
Austen's Persuasion centers around Anne Elliot, who's a Hufflepuff through and through. Anne didn't care if Frederick Wentworth was penniless, which shows the Hufflepuff trait of acceptance. She only breaks up with Captain Wentworth because of the orders of her father and Lady Russel. If Anne had the choice, she would've married him regardless of his status.
She also demonstrates loyalty to Captain Wentworth, remaining in love with him for eight years. Anne's steadfast love pays off, as the two reconnect when their paths cross again.
Jane Fairfax - Ravenclaw
The rival to Emma is Jane Fairfax, a governess who's more soft-spoken than the story's leading character. She's highly esteemed by society for her piano skills and intelligence. Her wisdom places her in the Ravenclaw, as she's not one to speak unless she has just the right thing to say, which is not a skill Emma has mastered.
However, her ive nature can cause her pain. Jane lets herself get pushed around by Frank Churchill, agreeing to keep their engagement secret for years despite the turmoil it puts her through. However, Jane's determination to pursue knowledge is commendable, as she becomes well regarded despite her lower station.
Charlotte Heywood - Gryffindor
Charlotte Heywood is the star of the Masterpiece PBS adaption of Sanditon and is a proud Gryffindor. After helping Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Charlotte bravely accepts their offer to go to the seaside during the summer. There, she partakes in many adventures, such as trying to save the abducted Georgiana.
Charlotte's fierce spirit is one only a Gryffindor could have. For example, even though her Sidney is betrothed to another, audiences are confident Charlotte will bounce back from her heartbreak. Her life is full of possibilities, even without a man.
Fanny Price - Hufflepuff
Fanny Price deserves to be beside notable and powerful Hufflepuffs like Cedric and Tonks. While Fanny is simple, she's also sweet and thoughtful. In Mansfield Park, Fanny is determined to be kind to her family, even though they're nothing but rude to her.
Although Fanny is kind, she isn't afraid to stick up for herself. For example, she rejects Henry's proposal despite the insistence of her uncle. Because of her actions, Fanny represents both the determination and kindness of the Hufflepuff house.
Marianne Dashwood - Gryffindor
Even though she's different than her sister Elinor, Marianne is also a Gryffindor, as she longs for adventure. She has big plans about love and gets carried away with romantic notions easily. So when Mr. Willoughby carries her home after she falls, she falls in love with him instantly.
Like most Gryffindors, stubbornness is her worst trait. She gets so convinced she loves Willoughby that she doesn't see how good a match Colonel Brandon is. A boring life doesn't suit Gryffindors like Marianne, which is why she's insistent on making her life interesting.
Jane Bennet - Hufflepuff
Two Austen siblings who are in different houses, however, are Elizabeth and Jane. While Elizabeth belongs in the house of the eagle, Jane would be sorted into the house of the badger. Jane is well-liked by everyone, so much so that Mr. Bingley and Mr. Collins both take interest in her during the same season.
She's not the most intelligent character in Pride and Prejudice, but there's a genuine kindness to Jane that's rare. While everyone else hates Mr. Darcy, she acts like a Hufflepuff by trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. She's also quick to forgive, accepting Mr. Bingley's apology and agreeing to marry him.
