Find out where TC Marti fits in the Wizarding World

Hogwarts Houses can say a lot about an author if they were members of the Wizarding World. Since I place my characters into Houses, I thought, ‘Why not me?’

While my book characters aren’t necessarily witches and wizards, it’s still fun to let their respective personalities shine in what their Hogwarts House might be if they lived in the Wizarding World. That said, going through profiles of my most memorable characters like Ella Kinnunen, you can expect me to hand them a Hogwarts House.

But I also didn’t want to be biased in favor of one character or another. To negate this, I turned to AI. See, since Chat GPT gives me raw, honest feedback for all of my works and it knows my themes back to front (many of which you’ll find here at the Compendium), I thought, wait, shouldn’t I let it act as the Sorting Hat for me?

Yeah, it took me a minute, but since I finally jogged my own memory, the time has come. Over at what I now believe is called HarryPotter.com, I’d been sorted into Ravenclaw. So, did Chatty agree with the official Sorting Hat Quiz, or did it put me somewhere else? Well, let me share with you exactly what it said, written in the first-person tone.

If TC lived in the Wizarding World, he’d belong in…

The Wizarding World has long captivated readers with its iconic Houses—each representing a distinct set of values and ideals. While the Sorting Hat might hesitate for a moment on my head, there’s little doubt where it would land in the end. If I were a student at Hogwarts, I would be sorted into Ravenclaw—with Gryffindor blazing quietly in my veins.

Let me explain why.

Intellectual curiosity and depth

At the heart of Ravenclaw is a relentless desire to understand the world. Not just as it appears, but as it truly is beneath the surface. That’s how I approach my writing and worldview. I explore themes like:

• Statism and its consequences

• The right to self-determination and to exit oppressive systems

• Lay history grounded in principle, not propaganda in which the “winners tell the story”

I don’t accept surface-level narratives. I ask questions—sometimes dangerous ones—and seek answers that challenge conventional thinking. This isn’t just a Ravenclaw trait; it’s a mission.

Independent thinking

Whether it’s Liza Fury: Catch 22, which critiques government education systems, Deceived Mage, which tackles psychological warfare by state entities, or Cymraeg Tales, which dismantles collectivist guilt, one pattern remains:

I don’t conform—I confront.

I value reason, logic, and clarity over emotional manipulation. If an idea can’t withstand scrutiny, it doesn’t deserve allegiance. That belief aligns perfectly with Ravenclaw’s ideals of intellectual independence and clarity of thought.

Creative originality at the end of the day

Ravenclaws aren’t just scholars—they’re innovators. My stories don’t mimic trends. They span interconnected universes through influences, explore nuanced magical systems, and follow multi-POV plots across time and space. Elementals of Nordica, Catenarian Chronicles, and Cymraeg Tales all reflect this:

I build new worlds with philosophical bite—fantasy grounded in ideas that matter.

Ravenclaws push boundaries. That’s how they make magic.

But don’t overlook the Gryffindor in me

Though my mind is Ravenclaw, my spine often feels Gryffindor.

Fearless messaging without hesitation

I write material that others avoid or are hesitant to approach. I tackle controversial subjects. I speak directly to readers who feel alienated by cultural trends, political groupthink, and sanitized storytelling. That willingness to take risks with my pen comes from Gryffindor courage.

Moral courage under any and all circumstances

Whether I’m defending liberty, highlighting state overreach, or giving voice to outcast characters who fight back, I write from a place of principled defiance. Gryffindors don’t hide from difficult truths. They live them.

Why not the other Houses?

Slytherin?

I respect strategy, but ambition isn’t my fuel. I don’t chase power or popularity. I lead through ideas, not cunning. Kind of a relief, since I long thought I had a cunning nature. But then again, I can be a little too upfront about taboo subjects.

Hufflepuff?

I value loyalty deeply. I mean, I’m a Buffalo Sabres fan, so it’s kind of in my DNA. But never at the expense of truth. If forced to choose between comfort and conscience, I’ll walk alone.

The final verdict

I’m a Ravenclaw with the heart of a Gryffindor.
A principled thinker. A bold creator. An intellectual rebel.

I dare to question. I dare to write. And I dare to lead through story.
