Tony’s world turned upside-down at the end of his sixth year at Hogwarts. And despite having no direct connection to the muggle world, Tony has a weakness for muggle food, muggle cars, and especially his muggle-born secretary Pepper Potts (a Hufflepuff who works at Stark castle during the summer). Tony’s two best male buddies, Rhodey and Happy, are Gryffindors. But despite having every other Slytherin stereotype down to a T, none of the Starks ever bought into pureblood or House prejudice. And Dum-E, well, his name’s pretty self explanatory. Friday is much younger, and Tony probably won’t put her to work until Jarvis retires. And Jarvis is the most chillax, smartass python you’re ever likely to meet. In addition to being a genius and filthy rich, Tony also has a specific type of “Help” that most wizards, even Slytherins, lack. Early in his Hogwarts career, Antonius “Tony” Stark wound up an orphaned genius running a company, basically becoming a wizard Seto Kaiba. (What’s that? Only Ravenclaws can be geniuses with labs? I’ll be sure to tell Severus Snape you said so.) The fact that Howard seemed to want a literal ocean between him and his son didn’t do Tony’s opinion of his dad any favors. And they nearly always got sorted into Slytherin. Though the Starks were American, they were always educated at Hogwarts, because they had far too much money not to be schooled in Europe. He eagerly designed the broom, shilled and uniform for the Star Spangled Auror Steve Rogers, and never shut up about the Gryffindor hero to his son. Howard Stark invented a number of magical weapons, but contrary to Slytherin stereotypes he was always on the side of Good. The Starks were often called “the Serpents of Death,” and for a long time it didn’t occur to Tony to care. Redwood wands (according to Pottermore) are attracted to wizards and witches who tend to “land on their feet,” and “snatch advantage from catastrophe.” That’s Tony. But in addition to that, dragons are known as guardians (of treasure, of eggs, of castles…) They have near-impenetrable hide. Even when he’s completely self-sacrificing, Tony still thinks it’s all about him.įortunately Tony has two Gryffindor besties, a Ravenclaw potions-bro, and a Hufflepuff girlfriend who keep him in check, whether he likes it or not.ĭragon heartstring wands are good for blasting. It’s there in his Bogart, his night terrors, and Wanda Maximoff saw it when she brain-f*cked him. But his fretful obsession with protecting the world steams largely from an egotistical belief that he’s the only one capable of saving everyone. Tony hasn’t cared about his own well being for years now. Slytherin drive later helped Tony drag his dying self down several flights of stairs (well, tumbling in some areas) to his backup amulet drag the very heavy pieces of his broken broom and injured serpent Jarvis through the snow, with no coat and haul a nuke through a wormhole at the possible cost of his own life.īut it’s a sad fact that selfishness, in some form or another, is a Slytherin trait. Tony applied Slytherin resourcefulness and cunning when he built his first weaponized-shield-broom in a cave out of scraps while tricking his captors into thinking he was working for them. Tony’s later heroism stunned all but the Sorting Hat, who was relieved to see it hadn’t mis-sorted Stark. The Slytherin drive is even there in Tony’s speech patterns, in the cut-right-to-it snark that makes him such a lovable insufferable asshole.
However, the Hat did detect raging, nonstop ambition in Tony Stark, with his inventions and his determination to do whatever he wanted in the utmost extremes. Already born with the silver spoon, Tony didn’t have or need the traditional career ambition that landed his father in Slytherin over Ravenclaw. Howard Stark, a muggleborn who worked his way up from nothing, had been an easy Slytherin for the Sorting Hat (sans questioning why an American was attending Hogwarts). What’s that? Only Ravenclaws can be geniuses with labs? I’ll be sure to tell Severus Snape you said so. Patronus: Sea turtle (carrying the world on its shell).
Familiars: Jarvis, Friday and Dum-E, all snakes, capable of delivering news faster than any owl (Tony enchanted them so they can fly).Broom: Custom job, which he rebuilds every other week.Wand: Redwood, 9 inches, dragon heartstring
