Mary Poppins was obviously a Ravenclaw. Obviously.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I was thinking Ravenclaw for Mary Poppins but I wouldn't be surprised if the sorting hat gave her a choice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Green Lantern footage. Just enough for me to be sure there's FX and shirtlessness, so I'm pretty happy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, the FX was cool. Which Green Lantern is he? Hal Jordan?

Do we know anything about Hogwarts in the 1880s? Ahh but if Mary is a witch she could be much older than she looks. The only timeline I could find jumps from 1492 to 1945.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Given the timeline, I could see Mary Poppins having been instrumental in the magical goings-on that paralleled WWI the way Dumbledore was in WWII.

move out and draw fire
And that's a pretty nifty fanfic plot bunny right there.
I think Mary could even have been Hufflepuff - she's all about sticking with it and getting things picked up.

“A Gryffindor will jump off a cliff," Penelope said. Her tone suggested that it was a well-worn proverb. "A Slytherin will push someone else off. A Hufflepuff will call in five hundred other Hufflepuffs, and they'll carve a stairway. And a Ravenclaw -- " She winked at Madeleine Aerie, who joined in with her: "A Ravenclaw will get hold of a flying carpet."
