Were the Hussites affiliated with the Kingdom of Bohemia or was the kingdom loyal to the emperor and thus their enemy?
anyone?
Here's the view of German tourist Mr. A.H., who visited in 1939 with many compatriots
"Of all the Slavs, the Czech is the most dangerous one, because he is diligent. He has discipline, is orderly, he is more Mongoloid than Slavic. He knows how to hide his plans..."
So be careful!

Serious question, were the Hussites part of the Kingdom of Bohemia or were they fighting against it?

Off the top of my head,the bohemian Queen to the English king was influenced by Wycliffe so the
hussites were aligned with Bohemian nobility

i dont think so. the hussites kicked out the king of bohemia, who was the brother of the hr emperor (or was it the emperor himself? i dun remember well). anyway, the king of bohemia fled and helped organize multiple punitive expeditions/ crusades against the czechs, all of which failed. it got to the point where the emperor realized the futility of the struggle and feared that rebellion would spread if he didn't reconcile with the bohemians. So he made his peace, recognized their interpretation of christianity and allowed them back into the hre.

How to put this... by the time that Sigismund of Hungary was going to war with the Hussite the Kingdom of Bohemia was in very bad shape. All of the governing bodies and organs were mostly only a thing on paper, not a thing in reality. The last 6 years of the rule of Wenceslaus IV were very troubled.
It could be said that the Hussites were going to war over the crown of Bohemia because some of the nobles of the land and scholars of Charles University in Prague said that Kingdom of Bohemia was in fact a elective monarchy. When they give Vytautas the Great, Grand Duke of Lithuania, the crown in 1422 they were acting on that idea.
There was a lot going on during and before the Hussite wars.

Your timeline is messed up. Wenceslaus IV was kicked out in 1414, and not by the Hussites. It was in part over actions against them but he had angered a very wide range of people in Bohemia. In 1415 his brother Sigismund of Hungary, King of the Germans ( think vice Emperor) and future Emperor helped him get back into power. In 1419 the Hussite throw 15 members of the city government of Prague people out of a window. This starts a civil war and Wenceslaus IV dies shortly after. A couple of months later Sigismund of Hungary points out that the Kingdom of Bohemia is now his. This turns the civil war into the Hussites wars.
Pic is of a later incident of Czechs throwing people out a window and thus starting a holy war.
Apparently most of Bohemia was allied with the radical Hussites while a few moderates sided with the Holy See.
Here's a good lecture on Ian the Goose.

It was a civil war. There were cities and nobles siding with hussites and cities and nobles siding with catholics. Hussite movement was very popular at the time, so it wasn't just a few guys against a kingdom. Also the cities not supporting them were mostly conquered and pulled to their side anyway. It was also the less radical hussite army who defeated the main revolutionary forces and brought peace. After that a hussite king was elected (Jiří z Poděbrad) and the radicals mostly settled down or went to Hungary and Bavaria to fight as mercenaries.
