Eleven Meets Harry Potter: Favorite 'Stranger Things' Characters

Season 4 of 'Stranger Things' on Netflix was the best season yet. It was unbelievable from start to finish and had everything you could ask for: laughs, scares, emotions--everything. It even brought back a popular song from the 80s with Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill.'

I do not want to have to wait for Season 5. It's going to drive me crazy. Stranger Things is all I can think about now. To pass time, I found myself wondering what Hogwarts Houses the Sorting Hat would put them in if they went to Hogwarts instead of Hawkins High. Weird thought, I know. That's just how my brain works.

Would they all be put in the same house? Who would go where? Would they like being put where they supposedly belong? All of the students and characters are gathered in the Great Hall. I will play the role of the Sorting Hat and will place all of your favorite Stranger Things characters into the proper Hogwarts House from Harry Potter. Two of my favorite things ever coming together. I am ready for this responsibility.

Before we dive into the Stranger Things characters, let's go over the Hogwarts Houses so you can understand the criteria I am using, as the Sorting Hat, in placing the characters into their Hogwarts Houses. Here is a quick dive into each House (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw) and what they represent and what kind of people and traits you'll find within each house. This will be important for later.

Let's take a quick dive into each Hogwarts House and what they value and who their notable members are. Once we understand the Houses, it should be fairly easy for us to sort all of the Boise Music Festival artists into their assigned House.
