Throughout his career, Jim Carrey has starred in quite a few unforgettable roles. Known for his comedic talents and improvisational skills, he’s brought to life some of the funniest characters to ever grace our screens, from Dumb and Dumber’s Lloyd Christmas to Count Olaf from the film adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
He’s yet to star in anything set in the Harry Potter universe, but it’s easy to work out where his most famous characters would be placed if they ever attended Hogwarts. Keep reading to find out whether Jim Carrey’s most iconic characters belong in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin.
10 Lloyd Christmas: Slytherin
It seems that if Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber were to be born into a magical family, he’d be a squib. But assuming that he did attend Hogwarts, he’d probably fit in the best with Slytherin.
He’s determined to get to Aspen to see Mary Swanson again and is even more determined to break Mary and Harry up when he feels betrayed. That drive is a classic Slytherin trait.
9 The Grinch: Gryffindor
Despite his green color, the Grinch probably wouldn’t be sorted into Slytherin. Although he is as cunning as a Slytherin, he seems to possess more traits that fit with Gryffindor.
It takes a lot of courage for him to attend the Christmas activities down in Whoville, especially when essentially everyone in the town hates him. And he’s definitely got a temper worthy of a Slytherin.
8 Fletcher Reede: Ravenclaw
Fletcher Reede from Liar Liar, one of Carrey's most successful movies, undergoes a major character transformation by the end of the movie, finally learning that his family is more important than his success as a lawyer.
One thing that doesn’t seem to change throughout the film is his high level of intelligence. Only a Ravenclaw could work out how to win the case for a client like Samantha Cole.
7 Count Olaf: Slytherin
It’s fairly easy to see what Hogwarts house Count Olaf would be sorted into if the Sorting Hat was ever placed upon his head. He loves disguises, evil plots, and doing whatever it takes to get his hands on the Baudelaire fortune.
Morality doesn’t really warrant a second thought from him and he’s much more into winning, whatever the cost. It sounds exactly like a new member for Slytherin!
6 Ace Ventura: Gryffindor
Ace Ventura’s caring nature makes him seem like a strong candidate for Hufflepuff. But his daring nature and willingness to break the rules in order to do what he believes is right renders him a better candidate for Gryffindor.
This pet detective is willing to do what few other animal-lovers are, and unless he has to deal with bats, he’s always super brave and courageous like a textbook Gryffindor.
5 Stanley Ipkiss: Hufflepuff
While Ace Ventura might not be a Hufflepuff, Stanley Ipkiss from The Mask definitely is. There are a few reasons why the Sorting Hat would put him into this house, including the fact that he tends to avoid conflict. He’s hard-working and willing to work for little reward, which is another signature Hufflepuff trait.
When he puts on the Mask, he transforms into a Slytherin-Gryffindor-Ravenclaw hybrid, with equal amounts of cunning, boldness, and wit. But when he’s just himself, he’s a total Hufflepuff.
4 Bruce Nolan: Slytherin
Is seems there are quite a few Jim Carrey characters who fit the role of Slytherin. Another is Bruce Nolan who stars in the film Bruce Almighty. What makes Bruce, who inherits God’s powers and tries to use them to improve his life, a typical Slytherin is his resolve.
At the beginning of the film, he aims to get promoted and is more than a little peeved when he feels he was cheated out of the job. That’s exactly what a Slytherin would do.
3 Ebenezer Scrooge: Gryffindor
Ebenezer Scrooge might be the last person one would expect to be sorted into a house like Gryffindor. But taking into account the fact that he undergoes a huge transformation by the end of A Christmas Carol, it’s clear that he’s exceptionally brave.
Anyone who’s gone through changes in life, even if they’re for the better, can vouch for the fact that they take courage, which Scrooge must have in abundance.
2 Truman Burbank: Ravenclaw
The Sorting Hat might have a little trouble sorting Truman Burbank from The Truman Show into a Hogwarts house. Ultimately, the hat would probably go with Ravenclaw, owing to Truman’s intelligence. Despite the fact that he’s manipulated and lied to for so long, he still manages to uncover the truth, which requires intellect.
1 Dick Harper: Slytherin
Dick Harper from Fun with Dick and Jane fits the mold of a Slytherin almost perfectly. He is highly ambitious, evident from the success he experiences in his career before going broke. When he loses his wealth, he does every law-abiding thing he can think of to earn it back. That takes a lot of determination.
Finally, he turns to crime to provide for himself and his family, which a Slytherin would have no problem with. His willpower is easy to see throughout the film and would make him a great candidate for Slytherin.
