Avengers: Infinity Waris clearly the biggest movie Marvel Studios has ever made. The “culmination event” brings together nearly every character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe into one movie, as they face their biggest threat: Thanos. The sheer amount of actors in this film is staggering, but one of the most exciting aspects for fans is seeing these characters interact with one another. They all have their own personalities and quirks, and some will no doubt get along better than others.
So given that we here at Collider are big fans of the Marvel Studios universeandall thingsHarry Potterrelated, we figured we should sort the film’s main superheroes into their respective Hogwarts houses. You know, as one does. We did this forCaptain America: Civil Waronce before, but now the Guardians of the Galaxy, theBlack Panthercharacters, and Thor and Hulk are joining the ensemble, so even more sorting must be done.
The Hogwarts houses ofJ.K. Rowling’sHarry Potteruniverse signify the diverse personalities of those that land in either Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff, and to be honest the characters of the Marvel Cinematic Unvierse fit into their respective houses quite well.
So, without further ado, we offer the complete and official Hogwarts sortings for every major character inAvengers: Infinity War.
House: Slytherin
Just to show that all Slytherins aren’t inherently bad, but Tony Stark’s ambition and ego know no boundaries. They come from a deeply flawed place, but it’s charming all the same. Additionally, his resourcefulness makes him an ideal candidate for the house of Salazar Slytherin. The only thing that might keep him out is that he probably wouldn’t buy into any of the “pureblood” nonsense. –Matt Goldberg
Black Widow
House: Ravenclaw
While Natasha Romanov could easily go into Slytherin with her level of cunning, really what a spy needs, especially one who works undercover like she does, is wit, a signature trait of any good Ravenclaw. You also need to study up on your targets, figure your way out of sticky situations, and work the intelligence gathering community. Again, it’s close, but I’m sorting Black Widow into Ravenclaw. –Matt Goldberg
Captain America
House: Gryffindor
Steve Rogers would go into Gryffindor before the Sorting Hat even touched his golden hair. He epitomizes bravery, courage, and goodness. While some may say his kindness, devotion to justice, and loyalty could make him a strong candidate for Hufflepuff, his chivalry and nerve just make him too perfect for the red-and-gold house. –Matt Goldberg

Spider-Man
WhileCivil Warfirst briefly introduced audiences to the new iteration of Peter Parker (as played byTom Holland), we fell head over heels for the character in the delightfulSpider-Man: Homecoming. He possesses a bit of the freewheeling ambition of a Gryffindor, but ultimately Parker’s personality is much more knowledge-based, thus Ravenclaw is the perfect fit. Science is his forte, and while he’s definitely a teenager, this kid’s got the smarts to pull off becoming a superhero before he can legally drink. –Adam Chitwood
Bruce Banner
While one could maybe make the case that Bruce Banner and Hulk belong in the same house, we think differently. Bruce is the brains of the operation, approaching every situation from a very analytical point of view. But he lacks the bravery of Hulk—it’s only after he Hulks out that he’s able to do some of the more dangerous things he knows are necessary, but which cause him great anxiety and fear. –Adam Chitwood
But when Bruce does Hulk out, he’s a full-on Gryffindor. He’ll scale buildings, run into incoming fire, and smash all the day long if it means saving people he cares about. Although Hulk isn’t without his temper tantrums—just ask Loki. –Adam Chitwood
Scarlet Witch
Though Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) is an Avenger now, she has a checkered past that feels rather Slytherin in nature. She embodies all the best Slytherin traits: cunning, resourcefulness, ambition, and especially fraternity (of course). With Magneto as her father — even though she wasn’t born a mutant — her heritage and inclusion in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants would surely appeal to the House. And while what we saw of her briefly duringAvengers: Age of Ultronmay lead to more a middling Ravenclaw-esque classification, her use of Chaos Magic and being responsible for what is known as “M-Day” in the comics (when she decided to end the mutant genome and reset reality) seems to seal her serpentine sorting.— Allison Keene
The process of elimination works better here than any single quality in Thor. Yes, he’s brave, honest, and trustworthy, but it’s hard to see him in the other houses. He doesn’t have quite the amount of empathy a Hufflepuff needs, he’s not particularly clever, and it’s hard to say someone who turned down a throne is as ambitious as a Slytherin. Gryffindor is the house for Odinson. –Matt Goldberg
House:Gryffindor
There’s little room for argument here. Whether you take Sam Wilson’s comic book path that saw him grow up on the streets of Harlem, losing both parents to street violence, or his Marvel Cinematic Universe version as a former pararescueman of the United States Air Force, there’s no doubt that the Falcon is a courageous and determined individual. You might be swayed toward thinking that Falcon’s unwavering loyalty to partner Captain America and related sense of fair play would lead the Sorting Hat to place Wilson in Hufflepuff, but he’s made of stronger stuff than that. This is a man who flies through the sky on a rocket-powered wingsuit while fighting super-powered individuals without any superhuman powers of his own. That takes real steel. It’s clear that Falcon belongs in Gryffindor.– Dave Trumbore
House:Hufflepuff
Oh Hawkeye. This guy isalwaysgetting the shaft in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, be it an awkwardly shoehorned introduction inThoror being reduced to a mind-controlled minion inThe Avengers, but we finally got to see shades of Clint Barton’s true colors inAvengers: Age of Ultron, and the dude is definitely a Hufflepuff.Jeremy Renner’s character is loyal to the bone, with an intense dedication to his work even if his outward attitude seems to default to “annoyed” or “bored” most of the time. Shine on, you brooding badger. –Adam Chitwood
