back into my hp and retj obsession and wondering how to sort the characters and i think i’ve figured them out (note: this will follow the original french!retj characterizations)
romeo: gryffindor. no contest there ha juliette: hufflepuff, but her personal choice would be gryffindor, which the hat would probably accept. girl is brave as hell, drinking fake death potions and all. benvolio: hufflepuff all the way precious bby mercutio: slytherin. not a typical one obvs, but still. either that, or he’d want to be slytherin so he can get his family off his back. also think about all the puns he’d make!!! and the dynamic with the other rois du monde!!!! tybalt: gryffindor, although to placate his family he’d beg the hat to put him in slytherin. imagine the drama that will cause if he turned out a gryffindor. le prince: slytherin. his le pouvoir is too cynical for him not to be. also, it runs in the family. paris: slytherin. not because he’s a dick (depends on the production and all) but political ambition and a family resemblance goes a long way (i headcanon paris as a cunning diplomat and good with the intricacies of politics). lord capulet: either gryffindor or hufflepuff. you can make the case of him being slytherin too (i see it more with his hungarian counterpart). lady capulet: either gryffindor (french) or slytherin (hungarian). socialite, extroverted, slightly shallow. lady montague: ravenclaw OR slytherin for her iron will and general badassery. though as always, depends on the production. my headcanon puts lord montague in gryffindor. i suppose that’s where romeo gets his gryffindor-ness. the nurse: hufflepuff. homely and loyal, but immensely practical, which i think is a hufflepuff characteristic. montague youths: most of them are gryffindors/hufflepuffs (lady montague is the exception because she is not a montague by blood but by marriage) because they seem more fun-loving than the capulets, and much more prone to reckless behavior. capulet youths: now this is where it gets weird because i see them more as slytherins/ravenclaws, as they seem much more aristocratic, cunning, and restrained than the montagues, but it doesn’t jive much with the sortings for the heads. probably the auxiliary capulet cousins (like tybalt’s father and their family, including lady capulet) are more slytherin (i definitely headcanon tybalt’s father as a slytherin). also, if you’re going by the hungarian production, though, the capulets are definitely hardcore slytherins.

““I will find you,” he whispered in my ear. “I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years of without you-then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest… Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.””

“You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having you wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul but cracks to put their love into is the most calming thing in this world.”

Do you have a favorite little quirk of Harrys or trait that he has?
Thank you so much for asking, I have several.
1. His cavity-inducing sweet tooth is something that can be tracked throughout the series, and it's something that I find overwhelmingly endearing ( if only because it's the one part of childhood he does cling to no matter what ). Harry's favorite food is treacle tart, unrivaled in its use of sugar.
2. While Harry is mostly touch adverse, conflating excessive touch with 'fuss' which he is known to hate. However, if he sees even a centimeter between Ron and Hermione you know he is going to wedge himself between it and make himself comfortable there. He does this so often and yet it makes my heart squeeze every time.
3. Owls in particular are treated for their utility within the story. Harry is often the only person that goes to visit his owl at the owlery, and he makes a habit of speaking conversationally to her in a way that we don't see anyone else ( save for Albus and Fawkes who we will lump in owl category for comparison's sake ). Hedwig is -- as he often points out -- his first friend and so he treats her as a friend first.
In general, if Harry sees an animal he's probably going to speak to it and there's also a chance he's going to pet it. I think that's neat.
