Deadpool Is a Hufflepuff and It’s “Deliberate Deadpool Canon”
“You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal. Those patient Hufflepuffs are true, And unafraid of toil.”
There was a comic page posted online about a week ago that features Deadpool dressed as a Harry Potter fan. On the page, he is waiting in line for the midnight release of the book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Before he gets a chance to read it himself, some jerk-ass drives by in a car and spoils the ending of the book, and Deadpool is devastated.
As fans were able to point out, the robe Deadpool is wearing is yellow and black, which are the house colors of Hufflepuff. In case you were wondering if this was done on purpose, it was. Nick Filardi, the colorist of that issue, has come out and revealed the story behind the decision to make Deadpool a Hufflepuff.
"Fun fact: I'm the colorist for that story and originally made him a Gryffindor. We went back and forth on a couple rounds of corrections and the editors insisted Hufflepuff. That isn't a casual joke. That's deliberate Deadpool canon."
When asked why he wanted to make Deadpool Gryffindor, he said:
"I just assumed you know.... bravery? Takes guts to do what Deadpool does.”
Hufflepuff is the most inclusive among the four houses at Hogwarts. They value hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Patience might not be one of Deadpool’s strong suits, but he was dedicated enough to put in the hard work to track down the guy who spoiled Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for him and break his nose.
I think we need to see a Deadpool/Harry Potter crossover story. I’d love to see him take a teaching job at Hogwarts and fight Voldemort!
