7 Harry Potter Characters Sorted Into The Wrong Hogwarts House
2. Bellatrix Lestrange Should Be Hufflepuff
Bellatrix Lestrange, Voldemort's right hand woman, scares even the Gryffindors in the audience. In her very first appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, she murders fan favourite Sirius Black, and turns his death into a horrifying battle cry throughout her later appearances. She's psychotic, pure evil, and the most uncomfortable character to watch in the whole series.
However, she doesn't display many of the qualities of her house, Slytherin. She's not particularly ambitious or cunning. The only quality she shares with Salazar Slytherin is being a dark wizard.
Bellatrix actually belongs in Hufflepuff. She is fiercely loyal to Voldemort, standing by his side the entire time. She also waited for his return while stuck in Azkaban with the patience only a Hufflepuff could have.
The Harry Potter franchise could have used a Hufflepuff villain, and Bellatrix fits the bill.
