Harry Potter and the Seven Deadly Sins

[Disappearance_26]

Hi everyone!

See, I have a little project here... but before I get started I need opinions. I need to realate a character with each of the seven deadly sins, so far I just have Dudley and Gluttony... but wat about the other six?

Who suits wrath, lust, envy, greed, sloth, and pride?

Hi everyone!

See, I have a little project here... but before I get started I need opinions. I need to realate a character with each of the seven deadly sins, so far I just have Dudley and Gluttony... but wat about the other six?

Who suits wrath, lust, envy, greed, sloth, and pride?

Here are some quick ideas:

Wrath Lord Voldemort
Lust
Envy Bellatrix Lestrange (she could be wrath as well, but envy sort of works)
Greed Horace Slughorn
Sloth
Pride Lucius Malfoy

Wrath: Voldemort, Bellatrix.
Lust: Romilda Vane, Ginny, maybe Narcissa, possibly Bellatrix, too. (I hesitate to suggest Lavender, since I think she gets a bad rap.)
Envy: Ron, Petunia
Greed: Slughorn, Vernon, Ludo Bagman, Mundungus Fletcher.
Sloth: Peter Pettigrew, Vernon, Dudley.
Pride: Percy, Fleur.

Wrath

I would make the argument that Bellatrix is a better canidate for wrath because she always seems more angry and vengeful than Voldemort.

Lust

Maybe the most difficult one here, actually, because we don't get to see a lot of lust in the series. Maybe you could portray Snape's relationship to Lily as lustful. I think it might be a bit easy to simply suggest one of the HP women (like Bellatrix or Narcissa) as lustful, but that's fanon speculation. I think we have a bit more proof Snape, and even Ginny, were lusting after other people.

Envy

I see this as being a better fit for Voldemort because he's envious of pureblood wizards and the background he does not have. Petunia is an interesting choice, too.

Greed

This one also stumped me. I can't see this as Slughorn, but I'm having trouble thinking of an alternative person. Maybe Lockheart because he was really wanted to be famous?

Sloth

Fudge because he refuses to take action to prevent Voldemort from getting powerful again.

Pride

Lucius Malfoy is a prime choice for this sin. I don't think Percy is a bad suggestion, but Lucius, and even Draco, are this sin personified.

[Equinox Chick]

Hmm, how about adding a twist and making them not the obvious thoughts. Not sure how far I can push this but if we take incidents from the books then you could build a case around these.


Wrath Albus Dumbledore (Battle at the Ministry. Anger with Snape in The Princes Tale. Anger with Dementors (POA)). Sirius (hunting down Pettigrew led to his capture. If he'd been less wrtahful he could have throught straight.)
Lust Molly Weasley or Arthur (they do have seven children after all)
Envy Snape - eye watering, incoherent envy of James.
Greed Griphook
Sloth Slughorn.
Pride Harry (Quidditch, Pride in father, 'acting the hero')
Guttony Find it hard to see past Dudders, but would like to. Ron's a bit fond of eating.

(I hesitate to suggest Lavender, since I think she gets a bad rap.) She does, doesn't she. Poor old Lavender, all she did was date Ron and become a bit soppy - he wasn't exactly without fault.

Here are my thoughts, just to add to the many good ideas already mentioned:

Wrath - Bellatrix for sure is a candidate, although Voldemort (especially in his Tom Riddle days; maybe when he kills his father?) could work too.

Lust - Pansy Parkinson for Draco? Or even Ginny in her hero-worship phase. How about Viktor Krum for Hermione? Or Ron for Fleur? (Or anyone for Fleur, really!) :) I like Ron for Fleur the most because it's clear he's only lusting after her; the one he's really into is Hermione, of course.

Envy - I like Petunia for this role, although I can definitely see Ron here as well: maybe during the Yule Ball or any other part of the 4th book?

Greed - Lockhart is a really good idea for this one. He wanted to be successful and well-known so much that he lost sight of the fact that he didn't actually do all the things in his books.

Pride - Draco Malfoy would be my prime choice for this sin, although Lucius Malfoy and Voldemort are good choices too. Another example - Horace Slughorn? He doesn't really flaunt it in people's faces, but he definitely works the behind-the-scenes circuit to make sure he has the best connections, and he's definitely proud of his little groups of students.

Sloth - Horace Slughorn again? If you don't use him for pride, I mean. He certainly likes to be comfortable.

Gluttony - Dudley, yay!

Interesting idea :D!

Wrath: I agree with Bellatrix and Voldemort for this one, but also perhaps Barty Crouch Jnr, or Salazar Slytherin?
Lust: Surprised this hasn't been mentioned, James (for Lily), Teddy Lupin ( he was snogging Victoire on the train), perhaps Sirius is you go down the cliched playboy route :p.
Envy: Definitely agree with Snape for this one! Also perhaps Ron or Harry (envious of Cedric and Ginny's boyfriends).
Greed: Slughorn, Mundungus, Helena Ravenclaw
Sloth: Crabbe, Goyle
Pride: Either James or Sirius, both were pretty arrogant.

Hope I helped :D

I was wondering... how do you see Ron for sloth? I don't know... he sounds like he could be, right?
And, what about Hermione? Which sin would fit her?

Well, he is kind of lazy about schoolwork, but I don't think he's particularly slothful otherwise.


And, what about Hermione? Which sin would fit her?


Pride.

[padfootsgirl1981]

Hmm, I agree with Inverarity that Ron isn't particularly sloth-like. I suppose in comparison with others he could be.

Wrath could also work for Hermione. Think about her reactions to Rita Skeeter and punching Malfoy.

Otherwise, like Inverarity also said, Pride could work :).

Hmm...this is an interesting project. Where did you get it?

Anyways...

Wrath: Bellatrix or Voldy, although I think Bella is a bit more wrath-ish (word?).
Lust: Ginny, because she hooks up with different boys every other week (no offense); Romilda Vane, because she's trying to poisen Harry with love potion for Pete's sake; and Pansy Parkinson, because...well, have you read a part where she's with Malfoy. -shudder-
Envy: Ron or Petunia, because both are very jealous of people (Harry for both, and Lily)
Greed: Perhaps Voldy. I mean, his goal in life is to be evil dictator of the world. If that's not 'greedy', then I'm a flobberworm.
Sloth: Crabbe and Goyle, those big oafs we love to hate.
Pride: The Malfoys, Percy, and Hermione (pure-blood status, pompousness, being smart)
Gluttony: Dudders of course!!

Once again, this is an interesting project. I hope I helped!

Wrath

I think there's a lot for this one, but Bella certainly has a lot going for it. Her and most of the Death Eaters. But Vernon Durlsey can also lose it occasionally. I think most characters have a deep sense of anger in them, at some stage.

Pride

The Malfoys and similar purebloods, boviously proud of their blood status. But in HBP, Hermione and Ron seem too proud to admit they like each other.

Greed

Rita Skeeter's always greedy for a story she can twist, and she never seems satisfied with the bare facts. Umbridge is also greedy to climb the ladder within the wizarding world.

Sloth

I agree with Crabbe and Goyle, but also Slughorn...he does turn into an armchair.

Envy

Petunia does let her envy of Lily ruin their relationship. Snape also lets his envy of Potter make him angry and lash out. It's another emotion that comes with being human, though, and so a majority feel it at some stage. Voldy's even jealous of purebloods.

Gluttony

Dudders

Lust

Okay, for this one I say Merope Gaunt. She lusts after Tom Riddle Senior and this is what lands her in trouble. I know she seems very bland, but I think lust fits her and what she does.

[pokethedevil]

Food for thought, isn't it?

Wrath Molly, in the final battle with Bellatrix... or Molly when her kids are out of line, if you want a bit of humour. Voldermort or Bellatrix would be suitable of course, especially when the cause behind their wrath is anger. Like the former's reaction at finding out about Harry and company knowing about the cup. But most of the time, both these characters act out of their sadistic nature, you know? Torturing others for the fun of it, especially Belltrix. It's Lunacy, if you ask me...


Pride James, because of his stereotypical thinking that all Gryffindor is all that is good and noble, and deploring Snape because he's a Slytherin. Slughorn is alos 'proud' of all the influence he has over famour people. I don't think hermione'd pass for pride. She's an advocate of the less represented magical creatures, isn't she? It takes self esteem, and a down to earth outlook to do that. But pride can be taken in a wide range of meanings. Whatever floats your boat, then.;)


Greed Snape, when he's observing Lily in the playground and by the stream in the forest. And if I'm not mistaken, the word used to describe his epressions is 'greedy'. I could be wrong, of course.


Sloth Crabbe and Goyle maybe? They'd pass for gluttony as well.

Envy Peter, Snape (depending on one's own opinion) and Ron'd be convincing.

Gluttony Aunt Marge. But my vote goes to Dudley :D


Lust Hmm.... Bella, for sure, judging from the way she acts around Voldermort. It might be awe or deep admiration, but if you look at the description she surrounfing the two when they are together, Bella is often descibed as behaving longingly in my opinion. And she was calling out af if to a, or as a (I forget:o ) lover when Voldermort first fell in DH.
