I miss theatre, I miss Broadway, and right now I really miss Matilda. Luckily there are bootlegs of the majority of my faves and I’ve been watching those. Which made me think about @musicalsandfluff and their off the cuff sorting of Matildas in their reviews. I had an hour to kill, and, well, this was the result. Well, this and 15 more.
Click to hear me argue my case. Ignore to not encourage me to do this with more characters.
Sophia - she took the longest to decide on of all 19; you could’ve made an argument for Ravenclaw and Slytherin just as easily. But ultimately, her anger and gutsiness made me think Gryffindor. She shouts, she stomps, she will throw down, even when it seems like a terrible idea. I originally was leaning towards Slytherin or Ravenclaw because when she’s having an emotion that isn’t centered around justice or vengeance, she always looks a little sick about it, like she’s trying to stuff it down and stay strong and immune to things like hope. But at the end of the day, her righteousness, fearlessness and spunkiness pushed her into Gryffindor for me. While it’s personally my least-favorite house, a lot of my favorite Matildas ended up there.
Milly - honestly I had to justify this one a bit because I know Milly is a dedicated Slytherin IRL and putting her in any other house just seemed wrong, even though her Matilda is a very sweet kid. But it occurred to me that no one is born cruel or unfeeling or just an asshole. I bet many Slytherins have parents rather like Matilda’s. Where would they have been if they’d gotten away from their parents sooner? Where would Milly’s Matilda be if she hadn’t? Her Matilda was already very stoic and unemotional, but still deeply sad and hurt every time her parents rejected her. Over time, it’s easy for sadness to become anger, resentment, hatred, and you really could see that starting to form in Milly over the course of the show. Without Miss Honey, she might have been in a very different story.
Oona - Watching Oona’s Matilda go from a spunky, spirited girl to just beaten down over the course of act one was really painful to watch. She was so big-hearted and open Slytherin was out of the question; too sensitive for Gryffindor; she seemed very emotionally driven, which seemed like a Hufflepuff trait to me.
Bailey - preternaturally wise and always, always thinking, there was nowhere else for Bailey. You could see so much in her eyes, even while the rest of her face was still, and opposite Jill Paice as Miss Honey, she seemed like the adult much of the time.

THE YEAR IS 140AC; the dance of dragons has finally finished after ten years, leaving much of westeros tired and weary of dragons. a city that was once the greatest in all of westeros, kings landing, is now nothing but ruins and ash. weary of war and trickery, all regions agreed to rule and govern themselves; returning to the ways of ancient westeros. aegon and his sister rhaenyra targaryen both perished in kings landing, crushed under the castle they both wished to rule. their beasts syrax and sunfyre warred in the skies ahead, eventually killing each other. the arryn, tully and stark troops and their bannermen rode to dragonstone, occupying the fortress from the few remaining supporters of the now dead aegon targaryen, allowing the lost targaryen wards to finally take their place home and the throne of the crownlands. since then, we have moved to the vale whilst twists of betrayal and rumours have set upon the healing westeros...
