Game of Thrones House Words for 7 Other Fictional Families

Do you feel a chill in the air? Unfortunately, that bite is still not from the long-anticipated The Winds of Winter. But you can probably feel the breeze coming in from the shade being thrown in Westeros, as Season 6 of HBO’s stabby, murderous hit TV adaptation Game of Thrones is almost upon us.
Ahead of its April 24 premiere, we’ve got the Seven Kingdoms on the brain. So before the noble (rapidly diminishing) families of George R.R. Martin’s imagination greet us again, we were curious how other famous families might stack up against the Lannisters, the Starks, the Tyrells, and even those rascally Greyjoys. What’s scrawled on Lizzie Bennet’s war banners? What words ring out as Tiny Tim slowly ascends the Iron Throne? Just what will Molly Weasley slyly work into conversation once she’s become the new Queen of Thorns?
As befitting those burning questions, here are a few of the house words we’ve dreamed up for your other favorite fictional clans.
House Bennet: “Ours Are the Marriageable Daughters”
Alternate option: “No Ball Unattended.”
House Weasley: “Winter Is Coming, So What Size Sweater Do You Wear, Dear?”
Molly didn’t like the tone, “Not My Daughter, You Bitch!” sent when emblazoned on the banners outside the Burrow.
House Cratchit: “Our Goose Is Cooked”
It works on both the pre- and post-Scrooge levels and inspires more dread than, “God Bless Us, Every One.”
House March: “Building Strong, Bildungsroman”
There’s a strong chance, by the way, Mrs. Bennet declares war on House March because of competing ball invites.
House Murry: “The Who, The Which, The Whatsit”
No one’s going to ask many questions about what it means, because wrinkling time is going to be gangbusters in the many sieges to come.
House Baggins: “Secret and Safe”
At least their ballad is already catchier than “The Rains of Castamere.”
House Finch: “Family, Honor, Ham”
Meet your new Khaleesi.
