Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender is an animated series that aired on the network in 2005. There are four nations in the world of Avatar: the Air Nomads, the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, and the Fire Nation. All of these nations have their own set of natural elemental abilities that represent the nation they are from.
In Harry Potter, the students are characterized by their personality and are put into one of four different houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Just like every TV show, there is a wide variety of personalities that make the show great. Why not put the characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender in Hogwarts houses? Here is Avatar: The Last Airbender Characters Sorted Into Their Hogwarts Houses.
Update May 15th, 2020 by Louis Kemner: Right now, the Avatar franchise is on everyone's mind, and this universe is becoming deeper and more compelling than ever. This is not just thanks to the stylish Asian-inspired setting, but the unforgettable characters like Toph, Zuko, Korra, and Tenzin, and more. When it comes to the original series, the four Hogwarts houses are a great way to categorize the major characters, and by now, it's time to consider five more major characters and sort them into their proper houses. What does the Sorting Hat have to about these Avatar characters?
Hakoda: Gryffindor
Meet Hakoda, the chief of the Southern Water Tribe and father of Sokka and Katara. He can't bend water, but he is tough, brave, and loyal, and he defies incredible odds by fighting the Fire Nation navy around the world.
Being so loyal, courageous, and bold, Hakoda is a natural Gryffindor, especially since he helped lead the charge into the Fire Nation during the day of the solar eclipse. He inspires soldiers the way no one else can.
Long Feng: Slytherin
He is the shadowy mastermind of Ba Sing Se, and he controls Earth King Kuei with a firm hand. It took a strategic master like Azula to topple him, and proving his guilt was tough for team avatar.
Long Feng is an exemplary Slytherin, since he is highly ambitious and wants everything for himself. He will use any asset or minion to get the job done, and he favors craftiness over direct confrontation. No one embodies a serpent better than he does.
Huu: Hufflepuff
Huu is a waterbender, and he likes to bend the water in plants to control them. He can even create a vine golem this way, and he uses that golem to defend the Great Swamp from harmful interlopers.
But more importantly, Huu embodies the concept of unity, how all people and things are different and diverse roots of the same tree. All is one, he proclaims, and all the world is kin. Separation is an illusion, and it doesn't get more Hufflepuff than that.
Ty Lee: Gryffindor
She may be a citizen of the Fire Nation, but Ty Lee does not bend fire, nor does she echo her friend Azula's fierce ambitions and selfish ways. Instead, Ty Lee longs to stand out and make her mark on the world, since she grew up with many identical sisters.
Ty Lee joined a circus and proved an incredible acrobat, and she is highly sociable and loves to party it up. Her upbeat personality, courage, and willingness to stand out mark her as the newest member of Gryffindor house for sure.
Wan Shi Tong: Ravenclaw
This massive, owl-shaped spirit also made a guest appearance in The Legend of Korra, where Jinora taught him about radio technology. Wan Shi Tong knows nearly everything, and he has a massive library to his name.
He's not a fighter or a schemer; he's a librarian to the last, and he demands new knowledge as a fee for entering the library. All of these traits make him a perfect Ravenclaw, even discounting the fact that he's a bird, like the symbol of the Ravenclaw house.
Aang: Hufflepuff
The next person on this list is the Avatar himself, Aang. Aang grew up as an air nomad. When the audience first meets Aang, he has been trapped in an iceberg for 100 years. After he gets out, he was able to learn and master all of the elements and even learn the art of energy-bending, which he is the first Avatar to use this power.
Aang is a Hufflepuff. He is loyal to the people he loves and the people on the earth he lives with. He is also sociable, kind, honest, and will do anything for his friends. Aang was expected to kill the Fire Lord Ozai, but took his bending away instead because he does not believe in killing, or even fighting for that matter. He is a kind and loving Hufflepuff.
Katara: Ravenclaw
Katara is the only waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe in the south pole. Being alone did not stop her though from becoming one of the best water bending masters in the world. When Katara gets older, she becomes the official water-bending teacher to Korra, the next Avatar Korra.
Katara is a Ravenclaw. She is basically the mother of the group, is loving and nice, but also clever, wise, independent, and smart. She is able to adapt to her surroundings, especially when Combustion Man locked her and Toph in a wooden jail cell and used her own sweat to escape.
Sokka: Gryffindor
Sokka was a warrior from the Southern Water Tribe until he left on his adventure with Aang and Katara. Sokka is not able to bend, but what he lacks in bending is made up with his sword skills, strategic planning, and comedic relief.
Sokka is a Gryffindor through and through. He is enthusiastic, sociable, courageous, outspoken, and ambitious. When he was being taught under Piandao, the swordsman, Sokka was able to master the sword in no time and was even able to make his own cool space sword out of a meteorite.
Toph: Slytherin
Toph Beifong is the only child of Lao and Poppy Beifong. She is the strongest Earthbender in the world and is developed the art of metal-bending. She is the one that took Aang on as a student of earth-bending and soon became a full member of Team Avatar.
Toph is ambitious and extremely powerful, especially considering that she created her own bending type. She is also cunning and arrogant, which only adds to her Slytherin traits. On multiple occasions, Toph has come up with a scheme or two. She is one of the Slytherin that puts these traits to good use and helps others.
Zuko: Hufflepuff
At the beginning of the series, Zuko was banished from the Fire Nation and told only to return if he found the Avatar who had been missing for 100 years and brought him back to Fire Lord Ozai. With the help of his Uncle Iroh, he decided not to kidnap Aang and help him instead.
While Zuko was searching for Aang, he was bitter, angry, and impatient. By the end of the series, he was a whole new person and continued to develop. Now he is open-minded, loyal, kind, patient, and honest with the people around him and more importantly, he is honest with himself, therefore making him a Hufflepuff.
Iroh: Hufflepuff
Iroh is the uncle to Zuko and Azula and is a retired general of the Fire Nation. In his youth, he was known as the dragon of the west and is now a Grand Lotus in the Order of the White Lotus. Iroh is the best person Zuko has in his life because Iroh always thought of him as a son more than a nephew.
While Iroh did help in conquering the world for the Fire Nation, everything changed after the death of his son Lu Ten. Iroh is loyal, kind, honest, open-minded, fair, and just. He embodies the Hufflepuff ways and would have thrived in the Hogwarts House.
Azula: Slytherin
Azula is the daughter of Ozai and the sister of Fire Lord Zuko. When Ozai was the fire lord, she was the princess of the Fire Nation and destined to be Queen if Ozai was never defeated. She grew up as a prodigy because of her advancement in fire-bending skills.

Azula is a Slytherin. The good traits she has of a Slytherin are her cleverness, independence and wit. Her bad traits are the ones that make her the person she is: manipulative, arrogant, and very deceitful. Azula may seem level headed at first, but when you see all of her layers, she has a very fragile mentality. This is likely because of her parent's disappearance when she was very young.
Suki: Gryffindor
The audience is first introduced to Suki as a Kyoshi Warrior on the Earth Kingdom's Kyoshi Island. While the audience sees her from time to time during the series, she does not become a member of team Avatar until Zuko and Sokka find her on the high-security prison the Boiling Rock.
Just like Sokka, she is a Gryffindor. She is brave and courageous, as she was the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors when the gang first meets her. She speaks her mind and doesn't care what people think of her. She knows who she is and is proud of it.
Ozai: Slytherin
Ozai is the former Fire Lord and the ruler of the Fire Nation as well as father to Zuko and Azula. During the Hundred Year War, he was thought to be the most powerful fire-bender in the world.
Ozai is straight-up Slytherin. He is cunning, a good leader of the fire nation as he was able to take over almost all of the nations in his time or rule, very ambitious, and finally resourceful as he was able to have his son and daughter both try to kill the Avatar instead of him even thinking about it.
King Bumi: Ravenclaw
The last person on this list is King Bumi. Bumi is the ruler of Omashu and is one of the best earth-benders in the world. Bumi and Aang go way back as they were friends before Aang entered the iceberg. After the fire nation takes over Omashu, King Bumi goes on to help in the battle of Sozin's Comet as he is a part of the Order of the White Lotus.
King Bumi is the second Ravenclaw on this list. While he acts a little crazy and is known as a "mad genius," he is open to all possibilities. This ideal makes people around him think he is weak, but in reality, he is a master strategist and always thinking ahead. Bumi is intelligent, creative and is very witty. Everything that makes a Ravenclaw.
