- With the upcoming live-action movie The Little Mermaid premiering on May 26, fans are getting ready to go back to the magical and fabulous world of Disney. Princesses are a cornerstone of the brand, iconic figures that built the company into what it is today. And while everyone knows the Disney Princesses, it's always great to look closer and discover their deeper layers and traits, many of which would make them feel right at home in the four Hogwarts houses.
The enchanting fictional world of a story is so enticing that sometimes we can't help but exceed the bounds of that world and bring some magic to reality or other worlds we think about. Opening a fairy tale storybook can bring back such charming memories for most of us, and so does the world of Harry Potter.
Now imagine both worlds coinciding and bringing the gorgeous princesses and queens into the mystical world of Hogwarts. The distant land of Hogwarts has everything from spells, wands, and sorcerers to knowledge, secret diaries, and evil professors, and imagining thrusting a Disney Princess into such a world is fascinating. Moreover, it will be double the fun to see them being sorted into the prestigious houses of Hogwarts based on their characteristics.

With the upcoming live-action movie The Little Mermaid premiering on May 26, fans are getting ready to go back to the magical and fabulous world of Disney. Princesses are a cornerstone of the brand, iconic figures that built the company into what it is today. And while everyone knows the Disney Princesses, it's always great to look closer and discover their deeper layers and traits, many of which would make them feel right at home in the four Hogwarts houses.
12 Aurora - Hufflepuff
Although she is the titular character in her movie, Aurora spends most of Sleeping Beauty... well, asleep. She gets very little to do; some might argue the three fairies are Sleeping Beauty's real protagonists. What little time she gets on screen is enough to prove her king and amenable disposition, warmth, charm, and charisma, enough to make a prince fall in love at first sight.
Aurora would be a good fit for Hufflepuff House. She is a kind soul who avoids confrontation and enjoys spending time with animals. She's peaceful and agreeable, qualities that would make her a prime candidate for the house of the badger.
11 Cinderella - Hufflepuff
Arguably the Disney Princess by excellence, Cinderella is one of Disney's most iconic and representative characters. The young woman is kind and has the patience of a saint, enduring her stepmother and stepsisters' mistreatment for years without so much as raising her voice at them.
However, Cinderella is also daring and hard-working, loyal, and dependable. She would make quick friends with her fellow Hufflepuffs and become a reliable ally to anyone who asked for her help. Cinderella would be a stellar student, perhaps not because of her innate intellect but because of her dedication to school assignments.
10 Pocahontas - Slytherin
Pocahontas is among the most interesting and unique protagonists of the Disney Renaissance. She is curious, restless, and desperate to know what's around the riverbed. Pocahontas rejects traditional notions of domesticity, seeing herself as more than a dutiful wife.
Resourceful and spirited, Pocahontas is a Slytherin at heart. She has dreams and ambitions and is willing to risk her life to protect those she cares for. Pocahontas is clever and adaptable, a bold and free spirit who would feel equally at home in the dungeons as she did running in the forest.
9 Moana - Gryffindor
A Disney Princess for the new millennium, Moana is headstrong and bold. She is a hero at heart, capable of defending herself and standing up to anyone and everything. And while she can be somewhat reckless and lacks caution, she is a passionate leader who will do everything to prevail.
Like the Boy Who Lived Herself, Moana would fit Gryffindor and Slytherin. However, the lion's house would ultimately suit her fiery personality better. Moana would quickly join the Quidditch team and explore the Hogwarts lake, perhaps even befriending the giant Kraken.
8 Ariel - Gryffindor
Ariel can be somewhat naive and gullible due to her inexperience outside the sea. But her bravery was undeniable, giving up everything for the opportunity to live on land. Bravery can also lead to recklessness like Ariel going to Ursula and renouncing her voice for a pair of legs. Thus, Ariel is a Gryffindor to a tee.
Her attitude of disobedience and willingness to disregard others' wishes are similar to Harry Potter and all his ill-fated schemes. Ariel also exhibits some traits from the other Houses, such as her devotion to her companions, an array of daydreams, and the urge to be more than she is. The upcoming The Little Mermaid live-action film will explore her character further, and her Gryffindor status will surely be confirmed.
7 Snow White - Hufflepuff
An all-time favorite Hufflepuff character is the original Disney Princess (and that includes Harry Potter characters). She embodies every Hufflepuff virtue. Because of her extreme trustworthiness, Snow White accepts an apple from an unknown stranger in the woods. In particular, with the dwarfs and other woodland creatures, she is compassionate and patient.
Snow White would perform best in Care of Magical Creatures if she attended Hogwarts. She conversed with animals while cleaning; she and Hagrid would definitely become close because of the animals. There are only two possibilities that make sense after Hogwarts: magizoologist or building caretaker (as Filch was at Hogwarts)
6 Jasmine - Slytherin
Jasmine is a fantastic addition to Slytherin because of her desire to challenge convention and become Sultan. Jasmine may not have been the lead character of her story, but she will go to whatever lengths necessary to realize her goals, even resorting to using herself as a weapon over Jafar. She often sneaks out to the market, displaying her ingenuity.
Jasmine would thrive at Apparition in her seventh year if she attended Hogwarts. She might also enjoy Quidditch and make a good Chaser or Keeper for her team! Jasmine would spend the rest of her life as an Auror seeking the position of Minister of Magic once she graduated from the school.
5 Belle - Gryffindor
Some might believe Belle is a Ravenclaw because of her reading and intelligence. However, even though she resembles Hermione in certain ways, she is more of a Gryffindor than a Ravenclaw. Although both females would feel equally at home in Ravenclaw, their courage and nerve allowed them to interact with McGonagall and Dumbledore.
Belle gave up her freedom for her father and attempted to tame the Beast rather than allowing herself to be petrified of him. She didn't just read books for information; she also did it to escape her small French village. True Gryffindors have that sense of adventure and courage.
4 Tiana - Slytherin
Tiana's color scheme is already ideal for the home she would be placed into. She is the ideal Slytherin because of her ambition and desire to achieve the life she envisions. Despite everyone telling her it won't work, she is prepared to do whatever it takes, including kissing a frog, to open her own restaurant. Tiana's resourcefulness is famous and will hopefully get explored in the upcoming Princess and the Frog sequel series.
Potions are similar to cooking and baking; thus, Tiana would excel at them. She would spend time concocting fresh remedies to aid students at exam time. Tiana would train as a cook and open a renowned restaurant on Diagon Alley frequented by witches and wizards.
3 Rapunzel - Ravenclaw
Because Rapunzel is the most imaginative Disney princess, Ravenclaw is lucky to have her. She develops her creative skills throughout her life while imprisoned in the tower. She also has a strong mind and is a quick learner. Rapunzel makes friends quickly due to her insatiable curiosity rather than her kindness.
Most of Rapunzel's classes would go well, although she would favor Muggle Art courses. The only Ravenclaw out of all the Disney princesses, Rapunzel would struggle to pick just one career; she would succeed as a novelist and artist. She wouldn't be like Gilderoy Lockhart, though; her tales wouldn't be presented as fiction, and they wouldn't be full of lies.
2 Merida - Gryffindor
Given that Merida is from the film Brave, it should go without saying that she qualifies in House Gryffindor. Merida refuses to be a princess in the conventional sense, instead triumphing in the contest set up to find her a suitor; she is stubborn, careless, and impetuous, by far the strongest female character in a Pixar movie.
Although Merida won't let anybody else determine her fate or how she should live, she occasionally makes snap decisions without giving them much thought - like unintentionally transforming her mother into a bear. Merida is ideal for a Quidditch team; she is more of a fighter than a damsel in distress. She is bold, nervous, and, well, brave!
1 Mulan - Gryffindor
Mulan, another feisty woman, is unquestionably a Gryffindor House member. First things first: she posed as a male to fight in her father's stead and defend their nation. It didn't matter if she might be executed or put to death if she were discovered to be a woman of noble birth; she sounded exactly like a daring and bold Gryffindor!
She also kicked butt while battling! Despite being smaller and skinnier than the other warriors (and frequently made fun of), she never gave up on herself, and Gryffindors took pleasure in their tenacity. Mulan bucked the obstacles and stopped acting in the stereotypically feminine manner that the other ladies in her life did.
