Sorting Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody - Harry Potter Theory

Hey guys,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video we’re going to be discussing Hogwarts school, the sorting hat, and none other than Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody.
Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody was a Scottish Pure-blood wizard born in to the ‘Moody’ family- a family known for producing a plethora of amazingly talented aurors. In his youth he attended Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, and later on in his life and career, true to his family name, went on to become one of the most famous and respected aurors of all time. Aurors are of course members of an elite and highly-trained unit of magical law enforcement. They work for the department of magical law enforcement in the ministry of magic, and are trained to investigate dark crimes, and detain dark witches and wizards. While studying, Moody was an exceptionally gifted student, earning the mark of ‘Exceeds Expectations’ in at least 5 of his NEWTS or Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests. And it’s a good thing that he was a good student, because becoming an auror REQUIRES it. Before you are even initially considered for the position of auror, you must first ensure that your academic credentials are in excellent standing. The recommended NEWTS for becoming an auror are Potions, Defence against the dark arts, Transfiguration, Herbology, and Charms- and the final grade on these NEWTS cannot be lower than ‘exceeds expectations’.
MCgonagall sums up the pursuit of the auror career path nicely:
“"You'd need top grades for that," said Professor McGonagall, extracting a small, dark leaflet from under the mass on her desk and opening it. "They ask for a minimum of five NEWTs, and nothing under 'Exceeds Expectations' grade, I see. Then you would be required to undergo a stringent series of character and aptitude tests at the Auror office. It's a difficult career path, Potter, they only take the best. In fact, I don't think anybody has been taken on in the last three years."
But, being an auror isn’t ALL about the academic side of things. Aurors also need to be exceptionally strong-willed, and able to act under pressure. That is why, in their auror-training, prospective aurors have to participate in a series of aptitude tests, showcasing just how well they perform under pressure. It’s not all achieving top grades and shoving your head in the books, it’s also about charisma, intelligence, bravery, and so much more.
So with all of that being said, I think that it’s safe to say that becoming an auror is an impressive feat in and of itself, but being perhaps the most famous auror to have ever lived? Moody must have truly been exceptional.
One thing that’s interesting however, is that Alastor Moody’s Hogwart’s house is not on record. That means, we don’t know actually know for sure which House he was sorted in to when he attended Hogwarts. I’m not exactly sure why his house was never disclosed, but it has been expressed that his house was never recorded in ministry records. So, what I’m going to be doing in this video is effectively sorting Moody in to the house that I feel he would fit best.
The sorting ceremony is an annual tradition at Hogwarts- it occurs at the beginning of the school year, and its function is to assign new students to one of the four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. Students are sorted using the Sorting hat, a sentient hat that once belonged to Hogwarts Founder Godric Gryffindor. The sorting ceremony dates back to the beginning of Hogwarts, but before the existence of the hat, the founders would sort the students themselves. However, when the founders were faced with the realization that they wouldn’t be around forever, they combined their powers and enchanted what we now know to be the sorting hat.

[@arcanewarrior863]

Mad-Eye was a definite Slytherin. Was too paranoid and untrusting to be a Gryffindor, trust requires a step of courage. Was way too insensitive and inpatient for Hufflepuff, and didn't exactly have a thirst for knowledge, wisdom or curiosity. Slytherin sums up Mad-Eye perfectly: cunning, resourceful, strategic, strong leadership, and he must have definitely had ambition to get where he was in the Ministry. He was also pure blood.

[@laurelyanny3409]

All the reasons that state he’s a Gryffindor is why he is a Hufflepuff. Yes, he is brave but he’s putting all of the Wizarding world before himself. He puts his life on the line each day to insure a safer world not for himself but for others

I see Moody being a Hufflepuff I mean he is loyal to his job and he worked hard

[@noorykorky5056]

I disagree to be honest. I believe that he belongs more in Hufflepuff than Gryffindor (and that is not because I am a Hufflepuff myself and have House bias). All of the reasons you mentioned for why he is a Gryffindor are characteristic of Hufflepuff House as well. And just the fact that he was willing to put his life on the line for Harry and the entirety of the Wizarding World not once but actually many times further proves that he is a Hufflepuff. But arguments back and forth between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor are very common because he displays traits of both Houses equally.

[@DanielMartActor]

I always took him to be a Hufflepuff tbh

[@kaboost1528]

It's close lol, but I've always seen Hufflepuffs more affectionate. Though this is obviously just the stereotype. If this was a genuine factor of being sorted into Hufflepuff he probably would be in Gryffindor. Though he still cared about Harry, Tonks, Dumbledore ect.

[@sergeantmajorabdullahmohab1837]

No its definitely because you are house bias

[@cioballar]

If he puts his life line to Harry than he should be gryffindor no hate gryffindor is when you put your life for everyone

[@ijustwatchvideos5920]

JustvChrist so you’re saying only Gryffindors can put their life on the line for people? Well I guess Narcissa lying to Voldemort saying Harry’s dead means she’s a secret gryffindor, or Tonks also putting her life on the line means she’s a gryffindor too. Like that’s kinda dumb. Like you don’t have to be gryffindor to put your life on the line to help people. Like yes, gryffindors are brave but that doesn’t mean that only gryffindors are brave. There’s plenty of brave people on all of the other houses too, hence the people that fought in the battle of hogwarts.

[@rhiannon_]

Shouldn't Percy be in Slytherin? he was very ambitious.

[@leahkentra6016]

Yes but he also could have been in hufflepuff as he showed those traits too. But then his entire family had been in griffindor so it’s only fitting he should be too. I know Sirius’s whole family went in slytherin and he went in grffindor but Sirius didn’t want to go to slytherin did he? Whereas Percy wanted to. The hat takes your opinion in choice.

He was 11 back then, people change 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t remember him being a jerk in the first two or three books, he became really insufferable after his graduation and after he started working for the ministry of magic

[@tripleotsports7993]

I think Mad-Eye was a Hufflepuff because as you put it, he put the mission first. I think his commitment to his job fits the aim of Helga’s house. Although his bravery is unquestionable, his sacrifice to being an Auror above all else made him a legend; his bravery fueled this fact but didn’t define it.

[@sersastark]

You're wrong on this one. Moody is very much a Slytherin. He's cunning, clever, direct, powerful, and will break the rules without care of consequences if he feels it was the right thing to do in that moment.

[@liampowell5014]

Gryffindors also break the rules as seen with the trio so that isn’t a good argument, being powerful has nothing to do with anything as each House has produced powerful wizards and as for the other traits: we haven’t seen evidence for those being defining characteristics over his bravery. Anyway, Moody is a toss up between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

[@liampowell5014]

@@kaylag5043 Gonna have to disagree there…the trio breaking the rules almost always has a purpose-getting Nortbert to Charlie in the first book, restricted section etc dunno what you mean.

Wish people would stop saying Slytherins are “power hungry” as a summery. It stereotypes us as evil, and people misinterpret us as cruely dominating.

I always thought he’d be Slytherin because there’s too many gryffindor characters (there could be more attention brought to other houses a bit more) and him being one is too obvious. Tonks was an auror and she was hufflepuff. I’d like to see Mad Eye as Slytherin to show: not all are bad and people would expect him to be a death eater but instead his job is to hunt them. So he’d be taking down people in his house he had classes and shared a dorm with. It’d be interesting.

Paranoia is an UNREASONING fear, more like a phobia with a master's degree. Moody has every right to be highly suspicious of someone or something trying to kill, injure or use him.

Of course when I think of Moody I instantly think of Gryffindor. But after this video I feel more strongly about hufflepuff. The line that got me was when you said he doesn’t care if someone else is in charge. We haven’t seen much of moody outside of dangerous situations but, I would say that being a hufflepuff is a good fit. He obviously got really high marks, he worked hard to get to where he is. He has his priorities set right. He doesn’t seem hotheaded, kind of like Neville and Ron. They were in Gryffindor by default, because of family pressure. I believe the same for Alastor Moody. Maybe I’m wrong, could also be a hatstall.

[@RJRyderVaughn]

I think Moody was in Slytherin. The amount of dark wizards he caught would suggest he knew their mindset more than the average auror. Being in Slytherin house would provide him the time and setting for learning all about them. Especially if he went to school with them. He was very resourceful and did what it took to get the job done. Gryffindors are brave but tend to play by the rules.

[@sebastianritchie6895]

Before this video I would've sorted Alastor Moody as a Ravenclaw because I did see the traits of intelligence and how he was able to look at his surroundings and figure out a plan for what to do. Not only that but he seemed very wise dealing with many types of people. I definitely didnt see him in Slytherin because yes he was ambitious but not in a way that he would put people in harm. Now I can see how he couldve been placed in Gryffindor. He was very courageous and cared about the people around him. And he risked his life to put many bad people into Azkaban. And when he died, he did die a hero's death. Btw, I love your videos and how despite this being a fictional world they are very informative. I also love that you leave us viewers questioning what could be possible.

[@Nuuccii92]

I think Hufflepuff, his family were aurors so I think Hufflepuff makes more sense, he worked his ass off to live up to his family and worked hard to catch everyone he could as he was loyal to a fault, dying for Harry and Dumbledore. I also think being Hufflepuff is also what maybe drew him to Tonks.

[@WKP1996]

From what I know courage is defined by doing stuff you are scared. If Moody was unscared of everything, he couldn't be a Griffindor. I think he was a Hufflepuff because he was a hard worker!

How else could he be responsible alone for half of Azkaban’s prisoners. Every house represented as an Auror always shows most cleverest from that house - people who excel. So those who excelled most, did things their way and could go stone loner would be Ravenclaw. Lunda Lovegood was a loner, did things her way but brilliantly! That’s my takeaway anyways. For Ravenclaw he was brightens, but he was also most brave - only most brave Ravenclaw could achieve what he did.

I have to disagree. Moody is a Ravenclaw! I say this because of the magical items he had and his demeanor. Everything from his foe-glass to his custom broom, screams Ravenclaw. Brave yes, but far from a rush-in-unprepared brave. The foe-glass and only drinking from a personal magic flask are way of managing fear or anxiety like a Ravenclaw would. An enchanted leg and magical eye again brilliant way of managing physical set backs. A custom broom ingenious work around. His wit is some of the fastest we see. Dumbledore and others highly valued his opinion and council. The biggest clue of all, is that he obviously magically concealed his house and even the make of his wand. Only a Ravenclaw would be so wise, willing, and capable to forgo bragging for an edge on their opponents.

What's the difference between a charm and a curse?

[@lauriewhitter5707]

I would definitely agree. Moody would fit best in Gryffindor.

Alastor Moody is probably a Gryffindor. He is incredibly brave and has risk life and limb (several limbs to be exact) in his fight against the Dark Arts. At no point do we get a hint that he was an ambitious man, I don't think he had the ambition to become the best Auror but merely wanted to stop as many evil wizards and witches as he could, so Slytherin is quite unlikely. His many scars, something we don't see with most other aurors, might also hint at the fact that he was a bit reckless at times and where others would have waited for back-up, he didn't waste the time, showing that he might favor bravery over intelligence, which would tip him more to Gryffindor than to Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff is the hardest to exclude as he was also a very loyal man but I do have the feeling that Hufflepuffs care about being a loyal friend and having friends while Alastor didn't really gave the feeling that he cared about having friends. He was after all pretty isolated it seems before Dumbledore recruited him again for the Order of the Phoenix.

[@kenthoge8037]

Moody might have been in Hufflepuff because Newt Scamander‘s brother was in Hufflepuff and he was an Auror. But I think he probably was in Gryffindor.

[@pixiethecanary7666]

How does newts brother have anything to do with moody?

[@kenthoge8037]

They were both Aurors.

[@kirstysmith9518]

I thought he would be a slytherin

[@aviangel2378]

I have always thought he was hufflepuff because he spent 6 months searching of dark wizards and actually found him and got him

[@derrickg2623]

I agree but in the books it is said he is overly anxious which would mean he is scared but he still puts his life on the line which makes him brave. Which reminds me a lot of neville who I thought by the end of the books was the bravest character of them all. The trio have shown bravery throughout the series but Harry has shown more of a thirst to prove him self which is a slytherin trait, Hermione has shown more knowledge and cleverness which is a ravenclaw trait and Ron has shown more loyalty which is a hufflepuff trait.

[@makingwavesfitnesswaves7722]

I think Moody would have been a Puff. He would have been a GryffinPuff, but he is a Puff.

[@johnslade9751]

Of course he is. Blah, a lot of people who weren't Gryffindor showed just as much bravery and courage

[@Julian-pw5mv]

Yeah and hermoine showed a lot of intelligence and neville is a hard worker. Fun fact you can have the traits of multiple houses, the hat puts you in the house with the trait you value more.

[@airforcebuddy6021]

Imagine having two magical eyes.... would be horrifying in more ways than one

[@commenteryt3080]

The thumbnail omg 😂😭😂😭😂

[@HelenaBoogaarda]

I thought I read somewhere that Moody belonged to Ravenclaw after all.

[@nicksolis555]

Isn't moody already sorted?

[@leahkentra6016]

Why don’t you make a video on which house do you think you fit best?

[@Empiricist14]

For years I presumed Mad Eye was a Slytherin. But then I found out that was not true.

[@hallowedspaces7034]

I feel like in my opinion he was a hatstall between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, because he shows extreme bravery in the face of adversity but he also is very intelligent you need to have more than just bravery to put that many dark wizards away in Azkaban... Plus house isn't defined by what traits you have it's about what traits you admire the most so I don't think Hufflepuff would be his house because although he is loyal and hard working I feel like they would be things he would value above it like being quick-witted and brave, outwitting his opponents and defeating them with bravery also... I feel like he could've had the choice between Gryffindor or Ravenclaw as he'd value both highly...

[@carlguenthardt5916]

Hey I have a question? A possible theory of my own resulting from rewatching the chamber of secrets for the hundredth time or more! When ron, George and Fred show up to get Harry from the Durdsleys home Vernon Dudley shouts he's escaping petunia and it made me think as Harry's custodial guardians would the Durdsleys have had access to Harry's fortune in gringotts? Many guardians do get some sort of money from sn estate to provide for a child. And was wondering if that's why the Durdsleys were so bent on almost keeping Harry prisoner because they were getting an allowance of some sort for Harry's care and would be financially harmed if they lost it! I'm asking more as a question because I don't know if things in the wizarding world work similar to the muggle world but like one gold gallion from the wizarding world could be alot of money in the real world considering the price of gold at times. So does anyone know if this is even possible? Would gringotts send wizard money into the muggle world? And how would the Durdsleys change it for brittish pounds?

[@oliwiadobrzynska3669]

Does anyone know the background music? It's so beautiful

[@natterdrea]

I must say, the thumpnail is quite brilliant

[@HalfEye79]

I think, he was in Hufflepuff. Why else should he see Tonks nearly as a daughter?

[@HalfEye79]

@jack rogers He liked her very greatly. Probably, because she was in his older House in Hogwarts.

[@stoyanpetkov3853]

I am claiming him as a Hufflepuff honestly. He has Gryffindor traits for sure but I think he predominantly has loyalty and empathy at his core which are our traits.

[@ayushkataria1200]

I totally love you videos but suggestion...the ravenclaw sign of an eagle is bronze in colour...it is shown wrong in the movies but in the books this Is what it is...I hope you take this into account...

[@AnaxErik4ever]

Considering his mastery as an Auror and his unwavering bravery, I always placed Moody in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. What I really want to know about him is what the story is with his magical eye.

[@orphonk7296]

I love the intro.

[@DryBones271]

You know, Harry never said "I want to be Gryffindor, he said NOT Slytherin" Imagine what the series would have been like if he was put in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.

[@beaufonville4454]

GOOD VIDEO!😉

[@somerandomdudeontheinterne4529]

I would have always thought that mad eye was a raven claw

[@aadityarawat3072]

its the most imp question that i wanted to ask - why did the wands of voldermort and harry still connected even after they changed theri wands? was it because of the proffessy that trelwaney made?
