If Kim Kardashian was a witch and Kanye West was a wizard and they were students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which houses would they be sorted into?

Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter movies, recently offered his expertise on the matter in an interview with The Huffington Post, posted on Thursday. The actor's character was part of Slytherin, whose members are known for being "cunning" and which has produced many Death Eaters, wizards and witches loyal to the evil Lord Voldemort.

Kardashian, Felton said, would be made a member of Slytherin, "for sure." Her husband, on the other hand, would probably end up in Hufflepuff, the actor determined.

"Definitely," he told The Huffington Post. "He confuses me a bit, but that's the house I'd go with."

In the Harry Potter movies and books by J.K. Rowling, young wizards and witches who are beginning their studies at the boarding school Hogwarts have a talking, magical hat quickly analyze their personalities and sort them into one of four houses—Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, where Harry Potter ended up (and which, fun fact, is the only Hogwarts house that has its own auto-correct term).

(Spoiler alert!) As Ron Weasley, Harry's best male friend and fellow member of Gryffindor, states in the first installment, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, "There isn't a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin." However, house head Severus Snape is eventually deemed by Harry as "probably the bravest man I ever knew."

According to the Sorting Hat, members of Hufflepuff "are just and loyal," "patient" and "unafraid of toil." In Gryffindor, it says, "dwell the brave at heart," while in the fourth house, Ravenclaw, "those of wit and learning will always find their kind." And, for the record, Harry was thisclose to being placed in Slytherin, but he coaxed the Sorting Hat to abandon that thought.

In his interview with The Huffington Post, Felton also "sorted" other celebs, such as Justin Bieber ("He's gonna have to join me in Slytherin as well. He's a bit of a bad boy"), Taylor Swift ("Taylor Swift is far too good. We'll say Gryffindor"), Miley Cyrus ("definitely part of Slytherin") and Pitbull ("He's got to be a Slytherin. Hasn't he?").

In a 2014 interview with BuzzfeedBrews, Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry in the movies, also "sorted" several stars, including West (Slytherin, "in the name of variety"), Cyrus ("Come on Miley, come to Gryffindor. We'll sort you out"), Benedict Cumberbatch (Ravenclaw) and Ryan Gosling ("I think I want him on my side").

Felton had himself recently taken a quiz on Rowling's Pottermore website that sorts users into Hogwarts houses. Ironically, he was deemed best suited for Gryffindor, Slytherin's arch rival.

The quiz contains questions such as "Which of the following would you most hate people to call you?" (Options: "Ordinary," "ignorant," "cowardly," and "selfish") and "Heads or tails?"
