A mad thought....

I know this isn't going to make much sense to many of you, but, I was watching The Song Remains the Same earlier (am still watching, in fact) and something [livejournal.com profile] ali_granger said sparked something in my imagination:

Slytherin: Jimmy Page. Wizard, dark magic, etc etc. Say no more.
Ravenclaw: John Paul Jones. Studious, dedicated, intense and fairly quiet.
Hufflepuff: John Bonham. Depending on your opinion/perspective on him as either sweet hearted bloke who loved his family or drunken buffoon.
Gryffindor: Robert Plant. The twatting about saving fair maidens in The Song... and all that 'I'm a Celtic hero' stuff seems pretty accurate.

I think my two obsessions just crashed into each other with really weird consequences.

I know Jim was a Ravenclaw.. but what about John? Or the rest of the Beatles for that matter?

*Hugs*

Indeed. Attention everybody!!

Jim Morrison was a Ravenclaw. He was meant to go Salem but refused on grounds of the bad mojo there. Therefore he became the first in a hardly illustrious line of American Transfer Students. He was a couple of years below Gryffindor John Lennon and some years later they kicked started the first widespread movement of wizards posing as Muggle entertainers- wowing us mere Muggles with their artistic wizardry. They were the first, but not the last, although they were better at concealing it than others- some felt Jimmy Page's on-stage wizard clothes were a bit of a giveaway.

*collapses onto floor, cackling madly*

Wow. I'd gotten as far as making the Page-Wizard connection, but this is great! Band Sorting! I think you sorted Zep perfectly.

I don't know if the Beatles line up so neatly. Let me think.

Ringo: Hufflepuff, for sure. He exemplifies Hufflepuff. (Is it a drummer thing?)

John: This is tough. I'd probably say Ravenclaw, he was such an intellectual.

Paul: Slytherin. I'm not sure why I think this, but I get the feeling that he's a real perfectionist, and that's sort of tied in with ambition.

George: Gryffindor? The quiet but chivalrous type? Or possibly another Hufflepuff.

Worlds... colliding.... ;-)

Ah, but wouldn't that make Hermione a Slytherin as well? She's quite the perfectionist as well.

Paul is totally a conniving, ambitious, cunning, hard-headed Slytherin- don't let the cheeky monkey grin fool you.

I always put John in the Gryffindor cos he was brave and passionate about all that stuff and of course, bigheaded sometimes. ;) I don't think he'd fit in with the straight-laced Claws.

Ringo: A sweet, loyal Hufflepuff for sure.
George: A tough one- he's not easily definable. I could go between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor although there's a little Slyth and Puff in him too... Can't decide.

*laughs hysterically*

What about The Who? I'm absolutely positive Pete Townshend's a wizard...

The Who? Hmmm... Should I start a series: Sorting Rock n Roll Bands or something? *snickers wickedly and rubs hands together in dastardly fashion*
