Sorting “Wednesday” Characters into Hogwarts Houses

When the TV show Wednesday premiered in November 2022, fans quickly immersed themselves in the magical adventures of Nevermore Academy, a supernatural school for outcasts that Wednesday Addams attends. With students ranging from werewolves to sirens, each Wednesday character has a unique magical ability, not unlike the students at Hogwarts and other wizarding schools. From Enid Sinclair to Xavier Thorpe to Wednesday Addams herself, which Hogwarts House would you Sort the main characters of Wednesday into?

 

Wednesday Addams – Slytherin

 

Wednesday Addams

 

After getting kicked out of her eighth school, Wednesday Addams enrolls at Nevermore Academy. She is stubborn and defiant, which serves as an emotional shield from others. When a string of murders hits the town, she uses her cleverness and loner demeanor to gather evidence on a supernatural monster. She realizes, however, that letting people in may be the key to finding out who she truly is and how to save the town. Wednesday Addams is an evolving Slytherin.

 

Enid Sinclair – Hufflepuff

 

Enid Sinclair at Nevermore Academy

 

There is no student more colorful or bubbly at Nevermore Academy than Enid Sinclair. From the moment Wednesday Addams becomes her roommate, Enid makes it her mission to become Wednesday’s friend and include her in school activities. She is a passionate and kind leader who is unafraid to unleash her werewolf claws when needed. Enid Sinclair is a loyal Hufflepuff.

 

Xavier Thorpe – Gryffindor

 

Xavier Thorpe from Wednesday

 

Xavier Thorpe is an authentic Gryffindor. Plagued with creative visions of the monster tormenting the town, Xavier struggles to find his place at Nevermore Academy. His friendship with Wednesday Addams is tested throughout the show, ultimately showing his caring and courageous side. He is fiercely loyal to Nevermore Academy, its secret Nightshade Society, and his classmates.

 

Marilyn Thornhill – Slytherin

 

Marilyn Thornhill Nevermore Academy

 

There is no better example of a snake in the grass than Marilyn Thornhill (played by Christina Ricci, who portrayed Wednesday Addams in the ’90s). She might have a cheery “Normie” disposition, but this plant-loving teacher’s role at Nevermore Academy is nothing more than a cunning illusion. Determined to unleash personal revenge on the “Outcast” students, Marilyn Thornhill is a backstabbing Slytherin.

 

Morticia Addams – Ravenclaw

 

Morticia Addams

 

Morticia Addams is a mysterious Ravenclaw. From fencing team captain to Nightshade Society member, she is an intellectual champion who excelled at everything she did as a student at Nevermore Academy. Morticia desperately wants to pass down her knowledge and wisdom to Wednesday and form a closer relationship with her daughter.

 

Eugene Ottinger – Hufflepuff

 

Wednesday Show Eugene

 

Eugene Ottinger is the best kind of friend to have. A psychic “Outcast” with the power of controlling bees, Eugene forms an unexpected friendship with Wednesday Addams and gives her his loyal support because in his words, “Hummers stick together.” He will stop at nothing to help a friend, making him a genuine Hufflepuff.

 

Bianca Barclay – Gryffindor

 

Bianca Barclay Nevermore Academy

 

As a Nightshade Society member, Bianca Barclay is always up for a challenge (and a fight). From stopping a siren scheme to coming to Wednesday Addams’s aide more than once, she paves her path to stay honest and true to herself. Bianca Barclay is an independent Gryffindor.

 

Larissa Weems – Slytherin

 

Principle Larissa Weems

 

Larissa Weems is a detail-oriented Slytherin. This Nevermore Academy principal will do whatever it takes – from secret political endorsements to shapeshifting tricks – to keep the supernatural academy running and out of trouble. Her style may be cunning, but she is fiercely focused on protecting what she loves most – Nevermore Academy.

 

Gomez Addams – Hufflepuff

 

Morticia and Gomez Addams

 

Gomez Addams is a poetic Hufflepuff. He would move mountains for his one true love, Morticia, and he always puts his family first. From his endearingly morbid nicknames for Wednesday to romantically gushing over Morticia, Gomez Addams always makes his family feel loved and supported.

 

Tyler Galpin – Slytherin

 

Wednesday Tyler Galpin

 

Tyler Galpin is a hardworking “Normie” at the local coffee shop. Son of the local Sheriff, Tyler tries to keep a low profile when a string of murders plague the town – but his befriending of and romantic interest toward Wednesday Addams puts him right in the middle of the action. In the end, we see that his chivalry is just an elaborate cover-up to hide his sinister killer side. Tyler Galpin is an unredeemable Slytherin.
