Sam and Dean have faced down many foes across Supernatural's near-decade of airing. Some of these baddies have been clever, some of them, ambitious, some of them just seemed to think they were scarier than they really were. While the debate will rage on forever on who the truly most villainous Supernatural villain might be, we aim to answer an equally important question, which Hogwarts house would they have belonged to?
Like with Death Eaters, the temptation might be to sort all of them into Slytherins, but these ten bad guys have a lot more nuance than that. Here are the Hogwarts houses of Supernatural's villans.
10 Crowley (Ravenclaw)
While on the surface, it might appear that Crowley is a pure Slytherin, he lacks a Slytherin quality which oftentimes many forget, which is loyalty. While Slytherins do prize ambition, a quality Crowley has in spades, they also feel great amounts of camaraderie for their loved ones and those who are also affiliated with Slytherin.
With his constant jumping loyalties, Crowley clearly doesn't value the trait, and this irreverence lands him in Ravenclaw, where his wisdom, silver tongue, and ability to constantly create a plan can fully shine.
9 Zachariah (Gryffindor)
Zachariah has a bit of a Percy Weasley feeling to him. As one of God's angels, he had absolute belief in his mission and that the plan he was following was just and right, but simply ignored the notion that the pain, suffering, or loss were variables that needed a second thought.
Similar to the way Percy turns against his family and wants to blindly follow the Ministery of Magic in Harry Potter, Zachariah has that classic Gryffindor stubbornness, mixed with a healthy dose of arrogance, and the absolute conviction that his way is the right and only way.
8 Azazel (Ravenclaw)
Azazel plays the long game in Supernatural, he's the demon that really started and continued the Winchester's woes before Sam and Dean were even born. That kind of planning, patience, and execution requires a certain amount of wisdom and calm that houses other than Ravenclaw simply don't possess.
None of the Winchesters' story would have come to pass without Azazel, and his evil-doing impacts the family, and the world, over generations, a Gryffindor would have lost patience, a Slytherin, interest, and a Hufflepuff wouldn't have wanted to engage at all, leaving Azazel squarely in Ravenclaw.
7 Ruby (Slytherin)
Finally, a Slytherin for the list. Ruby's ambition is what sets her apart, truly. She is not any kind of special demon, nor is she particularly powerful in her own right, but she is eager to prove herself and so sets out to make her fortunes happen.
Her clever manipulation of Sam Winchester, her cunning in adjusting to situations, her ability to never lose sight of the goal, and her determination to prove herself as a demon and to demon-kind all make her the perfect snake. Although her name is Ruby, there's no better place for her than in the emerald house.
6 Gordon Walker (Gryffindor)
The Gryffindors we meet in Harry Potter are quick to place things into categories of good (like them) or evil. Gordon's jockish, impulsive, black and white ways, and his constant choice to take action based on the information he believes right, without listening to counsel or trying to see the situation from other angels sorts him right into Gryffindor.
5 Bela Talbot (Hufflepuff)
Bela is one of the rare Hufflepuffs among Supernatural villans. She is smart, but not a genius, she is annoying, but not apocalyptic, she creates trouble, but doesn't really want to get anyone killed. Hufflepuffs are known to be the house that will accept anyone and given that the issues Bela creates and the way she causes them don't exactly classify her to be from any other house, the Badgers will take her into their ranks.
Some Hufflepuff kindness might actually do Bela good, and may even be enough to push her off the villain list altogether.
4 Samuel Campbell (Gryffindor)
Samuel has a lot of daring, nerve, and bravery, but much like Gordon, lacks the ability to see the grey area. On this list, he's a bit of a Peter Pettigrew type of Gryffindor, betraying his own family on the promise of getting something he selfishly desires. As a hunter, Samuel saw all supernatural beings as evil, again, a hallmark of the Gryffindor perspective, but ultimately, ended up trying to work with one to try to bring his daughter back to life. That kind of, "it's wrong until I do it, then its right" mentality is incredibly Gryffindor and sorts him squarely into the house of the lion.
3 Lilith (Ravenclaw)
It must be said that Lilith executed a demon plan that the Winchesters were unable to waylay or stop. From a safe distance, she controlled all the pieces, moving them into place one after the other, helping Ruby manipulate Sam, creating a chasm between the brothers, and knocking down the seals that kept Lucifer locked in heaven until he was finally freed.
Lilith could make a great Slytherin because her behind the scenes machinations are house of snake in nature, but ultimately, a Slytherin would never engineer a plan where their death was the final piece, leaving her well-executed brain and successful results to Ravenclaw.
2 Uriel (Gryffindor)
Uriel is a self-proclaimed specialist in smiting, which is a true Gryffindor trait if there ever was one. Slytherins and Ravenclaws prefer to be more behind the scenes, subtly maneuvering their misdeeds than actually sending down fire and brimstone. Uriel has very little regard for the lives around him, which could sometimes read Slytherin, but in this case, has also no loyalty to his brethren, whom he betrays and even kills for not aligning with his own personal set of beliefs. All facts taken together, the scales tip to Gryffindor, although perhaps the hat may have let Uriel decide between snake and lion.
1 Leviathans (Ravenclaw)
Although they have a fair amount of recklessness in them, which is not a traditionally Ravenclaw trait, the Leviathan's ingenious execution of world domination places them in Ravenclaw. These baddies used corporate America and the influence of a business tycoon to slowly, but surely, infiltrate the world they wished to control and feast on. For much of their time on the show, they were outsmarting and out-maneuvering the brothers and their allies, sending them right to Ravenclaw.
