21 prominent Detroit figures sorted into Hogwarts Houses

We all know that we'll never get that letter to Hogwarts, take the Hogwarts Express to the castle, and get sorted into one of the four Houses, but I'd be sure fun if we could. And who hasn't imagined themselves in one of the Houses before, too? If you're kind of diabolical, you may think you're in Slytherin. If you're Mr. Popular, Gryffindor. If you had a 4.0 GPA, Ravenclaw. And if you kind of just blend in with the crowd, you'd probably be in Hufflepuff.

We took this a step further and thought about what House a notable Detroit celebrity would be in, and boy was it fun.

And please forgive the awful photoshop job — we were going for the laugh and not precision.

Gryffindor The entire Illitch family would be Gryffindors. Only because when the Sorting Hat was placed on their heads they asked it to be a Gryfindoor instead of a Slytherin because they don’t want a bad public image.
