Dickinson Characters Sorted Into Their Hogwarts Houses

Apple TV’s bio-dramedy Dickinson is full of rich and varied characters that have their own set of personalities, behaviors, actions, beliefs, quirks, and interests. One of the most interesting ways for fans to sort characters out in their heads is to act as the sorting hat from Harry Potter and place them in one of the four Hogwarts Houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.

Each house, like each character from the show, can correspond nicely to the one that best matches their own personhood. Similar to other personality tests, ‘which-one-are-you’ quizzes, and ‘tag yourself’ memes, the Harry Potter House sorting can be an enlightening and engaging way for fans to identify with and respond to the ones their favorite characters belong in.

10 Mrs. Dickinson – Hufflepuff

Much like Mrs. Dickinson, her house encompasses justice, loyalty, truth, and are unafraid of trials and tribulations. Similarly, this house’s animal is a quiet and undeterred one, but when it is provoked, it attacks with a ferocity and strength unmatched, fighting off even the biggest and most ravenous of creatures like wolves.

Mrs. Dickinson, then, is none other than a Hufflepuff. She is unquestionably loyal to her family, even when she thinks Emily and Lavinia will be their ruin. She sacrifices much of herself to provide for her children and husband, and often goes unnoticed and unappreciated; that is, until she has the upper hand, much like when she did over Mr. Dickinson when he fell down and was stuck in a deep hole in the ground. She took the opportunity to finally make him talk to her about important family matters.

9 Mr. Dickinson – Ravenclaw

There’s no doubt that Mr. Dickinson, the patriarch of the Dickinson family, lawyer, partner in the Amherst newspaper, and Congressman, is a Ravenclaw at heart. Mr. Dickinson possesses a lot of wisdom and intelligence, seeming to prize these above almost all other things.

He is interested in intellectual pursuits, learning, and being involved in community progressiveness like the newspaper. He, like the Ravenclaw eagle, is unafraid to soar to new heights and put his money where his mouth is. However, he is also discerning like all Ravenclaws when he decides not to allow the railroad to come through the town where Emily’s favorite tree sits. Further, Mr. Dickinson has a wit that makes even a haggard Mrs. Dickinson smile.

8 Jane Humphreys – Gryffindor

While it may not seem like it on its face, friend to Emily (and former love interest to Austin Dickinson) Jane is a true Gryffindor. This is, perhaps, no better demonstrated than when her husband dies and she is left to mourn him for months at a time while also taking care of her baby son alone, seemingly, with no other help. She is courageous and daring in doing this, as well as appointing a godfather to her son should she pass, which further demonstrates the strength-of-heart and nerves-of-steel.

Further, in the face of lustful temptation, she denies Austin further affection to her, telling him that they made their choices and that they were for the best. During a time like this, and alone in the room with him and her baby, it was brave of her to squash his advances.

7 Henry – Gryffindor

Brave, courageous, and determined, there can be no debate that Henry belongs in Gryffindor House. The house emblem bears a lion as their animal, being an animal that is the bravest, not to mention at the top of the food chain.

Like the lion, Henry is strong, brave, and daring; he starts a circular in the barn of Austin and Sue Dickinson and starts the event that triggers the American Civil War in order to end slavery for his friends and family still trapped in its chains. In 19th-century America, there is no braver thing to do, and no braver way to be.

6 George Gould – Hufflepuff

Emily’s friend (who he also pines over) has all the ingredients of the house next to the kitchens at Hogwarts: Hufflepuff. George is a man that’s naively smitten with love for the oldest Dickinson girl. He is also kind and supports Emily’s poetry career.

Aside from Sue, he is in her corner 100%, consistently encouraging her to put her work and name out there to the world. He also doesn’t hold it against her when she turns him away, reinforcing his platonic loyalty to her when they both bump into each other at the spa.

5 Austin Dickinson – Gryffindor

Austin — by all surface appearances – seems anything but a Gryffindor; however, his bravery in confronting his dad and Samuel about their blasé, nonchalant talk of the impending Civil War, as well as his having Henry hold his meetings and produce the paper in his property, make him courageous and valiant for the causes that matter.

He also takes his twin cousins off of Mr. and Mrs. Dickinson’s hands, as it is the least he can do for them going into some debt to build them their home and all its amenities/comforts. Auston, like Gryffindors, consistently tries to do the right thing.

4 Samuel Bowles – Slytherin

When Samuel Bowels steps on the Amherst scene in season two, there is one particular house’s traits he oozes and embodies more than any other: Slytherin. Samuel Bowles will do what he needs to in order to progress his newspaper to make it famous and the most-read publication. He intentionally flirts with and leads Emily on, knowing he will never actually do anything with her, especially since he is hooking up with Sue . . . even though he is married (and to one of Sue’s best childhood friends, of all people).

It’s awful how he exploits, manipulates, and takes advantage of the raid on Harper’s Ferry instigated by John Brown, which was the catalyst of the American Civil War. As long as there is attention, good or bad, Sam will use it to his interest and to further his political and financial agenda.

3 Lavinia Dickinson – Gryffindor

Younger sister to Emily, Lavinia is yet another courageous, brave soul in 19-century Amherst, MA. When other girls are staying virgins, attempting to get married, have children, remain in Amherst, and generally be a docile, submissive woman that settles down, she resists that at every turn.

She embraces her sexuality and sexual nature, and tells her on-again-off-again flame Henry Shipley (aka Ship), that he should go and find a woman who can give him what he needs, refusing to be under his tight control (not to mention the time/s she stood up for herself to him). Once again, in a time and place where women were taught and expected to be one thing, Lavinia chose to be another altogether.

2 Sue Gilbert/Dickinson – Slytherin

Dickinson Characters Sorted Into Their Hogwarts Houses

Emily’s best friend, sister-in-law, and love interest, Sue Gilbert, has all the components of a house that’s known for its cunning, mysterious, powerful ways . . . Slytherin. As surprising as it may be to some viewers, Sue, especially in the second season, is much more Slytherin-like than before. She is secretive, avoids Emily, is unable to be honest with herself, her best friend/sister-in-law/lover, refuses to try and be a figure to the twin girls, cheats on her husband Austin with Sam, and is generally greedier, more vain, and sneaky.

Sue tells Emily that she wanted to pass her off to someone else so that she wouldn’t have to be an adult and deal with her emotions, making her manipulative by pushing Emily to Sam and surrendering her poems to him when she didn’t want to.

1 Emily Dickinson – Ravenclaw

Emily Dickinson, Dickinson’s title character, is hands-down, a Ravenclaw. Wise, intelligent, learned, eloquent, and successful, Emily was born to be in this Hogwarts House. She writes with an awareness, philosophy, and depth that no other poet has, arguably, before or since. Emily can pen any subject imaginable and make it into a masterpiece full of vivid imagery, analytical insight, and thoughtful reason.

Additionally, Emily can come up with witticisms on the fly and generate both laughter, smiles, and raised eyebrows, in typical Emily style. Since Emily is untraditionally unfeminine, dismissive of marriage and children, and an aspiring published author, it makes her one of the most eccentric, individual women in an otherwise suffocating time for the female sex.
