From Tom Riddle to Newt Scamander, we have tried to find all the Hogwarts houses for the grown-up characters (where it is known). A quick note, while there might appear to be some characters missing, like quite a few Death Eaters who you might think have Slytherin ties, their houses were never actually confirmed…
Albus Dumbledore – The twinkly-eyed professor was a proud member of Gryffindor house.
Tom Riddle – The boy that grew up to become Voldemort and unleashed horror on the wizarding world, started his journey in Slytherin.
Minerva McGonagall – We doubt you would be surprised to know that the Head of Gryffindor house was, in fact, a Gryffindor.
Severus Snape – The Potions Master, double agent and thorn in Harry’s side, also happened to be Head of Slytherin making him Slytherin - obviously.
Pomona Sprout – The no-nonsense but fair Herbology professor with the flyaway hair was a Hufflepuff and head of that house.
Filius Flitwick – The cheerful Charms professor was a talented wizard and Ravenclaw. He also happened to be the Head of Ravenclaw house.

James Potter – One quarter of the Marauders and the father of Harry Potter, James was a proud member of Gryffindor and Seeker for their Quidditch team.
Lily Potter – She might have been one of Head of Slytherin, Horace Slughorn’s, favourite students, but Lily was in fact a Gryffindor.
Sirius Black – Sirius was known for being a rebel and that extended to rebelling against his family’s long tradition of being sorted into Slytherin when he ended up as a Gryffindor
Peter Pettigrew – Wormtail was a Hatstall. The Sorting Hat took over five minutes to decide which house he should go in, before eventually deciding on Gryffindor.
Remus Lupin – Harry’s favourite Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher was also a member of Gryffindor.
Horace Slughorn – The jolly Potions professor and founder of the Slug Club was a Slytherin. He had even been Head of Slytherin.
Rubeus Hagrid – Our favourite half-giant and Care of Magical Creatures teacher was a member of Gryffindor house.

Gilderoy Lockhart – Author, memory stealer and terrible Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, was a member of Ravenclaw.
Phineas Nigellus Black – The least popular Headmaster of Hogwarts and Sirius Black’s ancestor was a Slytherin.
Quirinus Quirrell – Don’t be fooled by Quirrell’s seemingly timid disposition. Behind that façade is a ready mind and one that belonged to Ravenclaw.
Dolores Umbridge – A character that still makes us shudder, before she was terrorising Hogwarts with her Educational Decrees, she had been a Hogwarts student herself as part of Slytherin house.
Silvanus Kettleburn – As the former Care of Magical Creature teacher, Kettleburn left Hogwarts before he lost anymore limbs and was a Hufflepuff.
Sybill Trelawney – The divisive Divination teacher was part of the house of wit and wisdom. Trelawney was a Ravenclaw.
Arthur Weasley – Ministry worker, father and fan of the rubber duck, Arthur Weasley was a Gryffindor – along with the rest of his family

Molly Weasley – The matriarch of the Weasley family, Molly was also a Gryffindor like the rest of the flame-haired bunch.
Bill Weasley – Bill might have been one of the Weasley siblings, but this Cursebreaker was already a grown up when the books started and belonged in Gryffindor.
Charlie Weasley – Another Weasley that was already an adult when the books began. Charlie also happened to be the Head of Gryffindor Quidditch team making him, you guessed it, a Gryffindor.
Nymphadora Tonks – An Auror with a penchant for punky clothes and colourful hair was a Hufflepuff – unlike her Slytherin mother.
Garrick Ollivander – Everyone at Hogwarts got their wand from Ollivanders but we’re curious, what house did this well-respected wandmaker belong to when he was at Hogwarts? The answer to that is Ravenclaw.
Godric Gryffindor – One of the four founders of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor was obviously a Gryffindor – he created the house!
Salazar Slytherin – The founder with the surname Slytherin, was in fact a Slytherin – possibly one of the slipperiest of Slytherins too.
Helga Huflepuff – Again, the name gives it away. Helga was one of the four founders and the house she created was Hufflepuff.
Rowena Ravenclaw – Another Hogwarts founder and owner of the infamous diadem, Rowena Ravenclaw founded, well, Ravenclaw.
Nearly Headless Nick – Otherwise known as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, the ghost of Gryffindor house and former member of Henry VII’s royal court was a Gryffindor.
Fat Friar – The jolly ghost was welcoming to all students at Hogwarts, which seems rather fitting for the ghost of Hufflepuff.
Helena Ravenclaw – As the daughter of the founder of Ravenclaw, we would be surprised if Helena was in a different house to her mother. But seems she did follow in her mother’s footsteps as a Ravenclaw.
The Bloody Baron – The intimidating ghost with a nasty backstory, was the ghost of Slytherin house.
Moaning Myrtle – Ok, she might have still been a pupil when she was killed, but she had been haunting Hogwarts for a good 50 years before we met her – so we’ll count Myrtle in this list. When this gloomy ghost was alive, she was part of Ravenclaw house.
Xenophilius Lovegood – Luna Lovegood was one of our favourite Ravenclaws and her eccentric father and editor of The Quibbler belonged to that house too.

Bellatrix Lestrange – Voldemort’s most loyal Death Eater and member of the Black family followed in their footsteps as a Slytherin.
Andromeda Tonks – The sister of Bellatrix and Narcissa managed to break away from the Black family in her later years but was a Slytherin like her siblings.
Narcissa Malfoy – Narcissa Malfoy’s love of Pure-Blood supremacy was only superseded by her love for her son, Draco. And like Malfoy, she was also a Slytherin.
Lucius Malfoy – Death Eater, Ministry employee and father to Draco Malfoy, Lucius was a member of Slytherin like the rest of his family.
Regulus Black – The younger brother of Sirius and Death Eater who had doubts was a Slytherin like the majority of the Black family.
Newt Scamander – This Magizoologist with his briefcase full of fantastic creatures was a hero – and a Hufflepuff one at that.
Leta Lestrange – Newt Scamander’s close friend was a bit of an enigma, but her Hogwarts house was no mystery. She was a Slytherin.
