Why was everyone biased against Slytherin?

Two answers.

Reality: Plot reasons.

Story based logic: The Slytherins were considered evil or just mean spirited Witches and Wizards in general. They constantly bullied and harassed other students throughout the series.

>>83473672
Because they were cunts.
Even the "good" ones were comprised of a manipulative and self indulgent teacher, and another teacher that was so bitter about Chad taking his waifu that he bullied children for decades.

>>83473793
The story built the narrative that you should boo and hiss whenever Slytherin was even mentioned, before they even did anything. It was a tad unfair. Their living quarters was a dungeon for fucks sake.

>>83473829
Which teacher was the manipulative self indulgent one?

they're just bent on personal success as opposed to friendship. JRR didn't do a good job of fleshing them out and except maybe for Slughorn everyone there was painted as evil or at least a total cunt

>Slytherin you had the most points but I'm gonna give gryffindor these extra "fuck you" points just cause.

>>83473944
We all know the only reason Slytherin has the most points is because Snape docks points from all other houses for fuck all. They had won seven years in a row before the series events.

>>83473898
Slughorn.
He outright states that he uses nepotism and favouritism to get people to high positions, then uses those connections to get himself stuff for free.

>>83473944
Slytherin got a bunch of fake points from Snape anyway

>>83473793
How about dissolve Slytherin as a house then, so they are forced to interact with the "good" kids, and maybe get some positive influence? Or, barring that, as soon as the hat sends someone to Slytherin, expel them from Hogwarts, and make it a crime to teach them magic. Seems like it would save them a lot of trouble in the long run.

If I got put into a certain house because of a fucking hat, and everyone treated me like shit for the rest of my life because of it, I'd probably grow to be kind of angry too. Dumbledore was a shitty headmaster.

>>83473944
Even as a kid this pissed me off.

Was there even a "good"- good as not evil- character in Slytherin? Never cared about the books and stopped watching the movies after Azkaban.
I remember there were no gray zones at all on this matter.
BRAVO JK

>>83473672

Slytherin is the most based. They got Harry Potter but the sorting hat gave him griffendor because the hats a real nigga and was trying to help Harry score with hermonie

But that never happened because griffendor is the cuck house
Slyrherin was by far the LEAST autistic house in all of hog warts

>>83474223
>Slytherin was by far the LEAST autistic house in all of hog warts

Holy shit this. Slytherin easily had the smartest students.

>>83473997
If we go by Chamber of secrets, the problem had existed for over 60 years, probably more.

Im b4 DULLEST

>>83474221

Snape. He was an asshole but at the end of the day he did the right thing. Also, there are a bunch of adults we see who might have been in Slytherin as children for all we know and turned out alright.

I too would be bitter if this happened to me.

>>83474472
Snape ended up being the best guy ever and everyone recognizes him as a martyr. Nothing neutral there and one would I argue it's the exception that proves the rule
And the alright adults are as far as I remember never mentioned or shown, It's just a assumption, a rational one, but it doesn't really make you feel any better about Slytherin

>>83473672
Fun fact: in "the Cursed Child" Harry's autistic son gets sorted into Slytherin and becomes best friends with Malfoy's autistic son.

>>83474974
The narrative tries to tell you he's the best guy ever, but the fact remains that he was a bitter, bullying cunt that sabotaged the education of hundreds, if not thousands, of children

After fantastic beasts Rowling is making a hogwarths founder movie. The fassbender is being eyed to play salazar who is initially anti Muggle because his family were burned alive by Muggles in Ireland but he becomes the hero of the story and saves mud bloods and Muggle born children after proto death eaters invade hogwarths. He comes back during the Battle and finds non pure blood students being fed on by dementia and casts a expecto pretronous signifying his change of hear. T. Guy at Warner Bros.

What amazes me is how the entire world is not biased yet against Harry Potter, the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously, each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Merlin isn't the first mythical thing she's incorporated into her series and she's far from the first to do so. It seems like a weird thing to nitpick. Especially considering its a children's book

I dated a girl for years who was really into Harry Potter during her childhood, so we used to make a lot of jokes and references all the time.

>what house do you think you would be in?

She got so randy that we had terrific sex then and there.

Bitches fucking love getting SLYTHERED.

>>83475275
You are an asshole and want to live with the Staceys (not the Chads, those are griffindor)

>>83474221
No, Rowling is literally a hack. I think she's stated that Slytherin students are no different from the other houses, but she never demonstrates this in the books.

>>83475336
Imagine if you said black people were normal and no different than whites. Then you wrote a book series about them resurrecting black Dracula.

>>83475290
The whole point of Merlin is that he, alongside Arthur, were bright lights in the dark that were brought down by tragedy and hubris.
If you just throw his name out there in the wrong era because you fucked up and forgot to make any non asshole Slytherin's, it's completely pointless.
What's worse is that there's hardly a lack of ambitious British people with an air of mystery in that era for her to choose from.

>>83475498
There's a million other things to be triggered from in this children's series if an anachronism regarding a mythical figure is what does you in.

I can't picture you reading any of these without blowing a gasket.

>>83475551
Oh shut up, that's like saying who cares they put Abraham Lincoln in the 1930s it's just a children's book. Fucking ridiculous

>>83475551
That's because you're the type of idiot that reads a dissenting opinion and thinks disagreement equals rage.
It's a dumb idea she threw out because she didn't think it through, and there are plenty of reasons why.

All the gymnantiscs and rationalisations won't change that.

>>83475587
Its actually nothing like that.

>>83475608
>That's because you're the type of idiot that reads a dissenting opinion and thinks disagreement equals rage.

Its actually not. I never said you were "enraged" I said you were triggered. Which you clearly are because a footnote in a children's novel has you making posts like this.

>>83473997
It's the other way around, Salazar Slytherin invented the sorting hat so only purebloods were put in one house so the day of the pyre was easy to pull on all the race mixers

No I think the problem here is you have very low reading comprehension. But while you're at it what am I no longer "trying to defend"?

That its not a big deal if a mythical character gets used in anyway that remotely deviates from your established canon? There's no arguing with autism at that level anon. Stubborn people need to come around by themselves.

>>83473672
Apparently Rowling couldn't decide if each house selected for morally-neutral characteristics, with Slytherin getting ambitious and individualistic students who didn't give much priority to empathy but without being necessarily evil, or if evil people just went to Slytherin.

>>83473672
Too white

She seems like she has a dry cooter.

Part of what makes the Harry Potter series an,intetesting marker in the history of film is that theyhad all these British theatre trained actors at their disposal ripe for taking roles as professors, dursleys, etc and it made the series a little more than an absolute Marvel teir cash grab but not by much

This isn't edgy this is pure cringe

Slytherin was controlled opposition, hufflepuff and ravenclaw were controlled mediocrity and allies, all de-aged crisis actors. Hogwarts was an unsafe deathtrap on purpose. The only real house was Gryffindor, which is where wizard eugenics test subjects were trained from a very early age to be the mightiest practitioners of magic, and amazing physical specimens, in order to defend humanity against shit way worse than Voldemort.

Regular witches and wizards went to small community schools which were very safe and not prone to world-ending climactic events every semester.

Yes but the careers involved are different because it was a different time period. Things similar to one another can happen at different times, but one doesn't negate the other

Because that happens in real life too, people are biased against some things that aren't necessarily bad, for no reason or for reasons they don't even know.

Because the Hat sent evil people to Slytherin, that's literally it

It was all part of dumbledore's plot. He intentionally placed snape as the head of slytherin to act as evil and as incompetent as he could possibly get away with. Allowing bullying, giving and taking points on a whim just so that dumbledore could keep the truly tallented students out of the house that he feared formed them into dark lords.

>>83473672
Now that I think about it, Hogwarts' house system is pretty based and red-pilled. basically 95% of all criminals and dark wizards were slytherins (I say this as someone who identifies with slytherin's ideals) and most hufflepuffs are lazy degenerates, there's none of that "all four houses are equal and tolerant" bullshit. only thing JKR did right desu.

Although Rowling demoted Dean Thomas from core group member to secondary character.

Gryffindor is the Chad house for sure.

>>83486132
Rowling's earlier ideas were a lot less nuanced than her later stuff. Unfortunately the earlier stuff was key to the framework that she stuck to.

And no, putting someone on a Remedial Course isn't a punishment if they genuinely need it.

>>83486817
Yeah, I kind of suspect that Harry was an unreliable narrator about Snape. The ones he really went after were Harry and Neville, and Snape had a personal reason to be obsessed with both of them.

On the other hand, he was nasty to Hermione too. "I see no difference" would have gotten a lot of teachers fired.

Do you think Voldemort makes a hissing noise like a snake when he orgasms?

>>83486892
He also constantly ignores malfoy's baiting in order to punish the inevitable retaliation, as well as Crabbe/Goyle's fuck ups in favour of shitting on Harry/Neville/Ron.

>>83486817
Tumblr, pls go

>>83486939
Snape was supposed to stay close to the Malfoys long-term to be ready when Voldemort came back, though. Maybe Dumbledore told him to be a total cunt to everyone who wasn't Slytherin in order to make him more believable as a true Death Eater.

Do INTJs go to Slytherin?

>>83473997
Although they got a very one-sided portrayal, I think they represent a sizable chunk of the wizard population in the U.K. And they have a majority of the old pureblood houses as their members. So they'd be trying to abolish a house beloved by a bunch of rich aristocrats, which is a non-starter. Also, better to keep them in Hogwarts where you can mold them and keep an eye on them. If they expelled all the Slytherins they'd just make their own school and teach all the students killing curses and such.

>>83487050

INTJ here, always favoured Slytherin or Ravenclaw, honestly couldn't decide which house was my favourite. Never liked the other two.

It was a really badass dungeon though. The description for it from Pottermore is "Our emblem is the serpent, the wisest of creatures; our house colours are emerald green and silver, and our common room lies behind a concealed entrance down in the dungeons. As you’ll see, its windows look out into the depths of the Hogwarts lake. We often see the giant squid swooshing by — and sometimes more interesting creatures. We like to feel that our hangout has the aura of a mysterious, underwater shipwreck."

Voldemort wanted muggle and wizard culture kept separate. If both cultures merged than neither would be unique. Eventually the wizard bloodline will become diluted and eventually bred out of existence. So he had to break a few eggs to make an omelette. In short, Voldemort did nothing wrong.

Many great historical doctors were Nazis.

So from what we see, Voldemort is usually alone. Why didnt the Order of the Phoenix ever try to assasinate him?

Seriously, just have Snape tell him he needs an urgent one-on-one secret meeting and once the place where it will happen is known, just suicide charge Voldy with Dumbledore,Snape, Shacklebolt, Moody,Tonks,Lupin and Sirius.

No way he can kill all 6 without someone getting a lucky shot in

You can't just kill Voldemort, that's the whole point of his Horcruxes and of Dumbledore grooming Harry to stop him. However, hitting him with Avada Kedavra should still destroy his body unless he found a way to avoid that happening again.

>>83488374
It would actually be pretty easy to stop him.
Last time he died, he would have been fucked without Peter.
So long as you wipe out anyone loyal enough to help him without requiring duress, you can be fairly sure he won't come back.

>>83488655
Yeah, even so, killing his body wiuld make horcruxes so much easier to destroy with his army dissolved and him not at this full power. I wouldve been a better commander-in-chief of the Order than Dumbledore

>>83473984
Slughorn is probably the reason the wizard government is so fucking absolutely incompetent with all his playing favors and shit

>>83486892
He had no reason to be obsessed over Neville.
He was building a school shooter with that poor bastard. Specially since Neville knows what Snape friends can do, unlike Harry who was just told about.

>>83489388
Snape told Voldemort that the Chosen One who could kill him was either Harry or Neville. Knowing that if Voldemort had only gone after the useless Neville his precious Lily would still be alive must torment him.

>>83489498
What a fucking miserable cuck. Slytherins are overrrated.

>>83489498
I bet James and Sirius had a field day when they realised just how badly they'd fucked with Snape's head.

What's up with the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers? Why did they have to get a new one every year?

>>83489596
Voldemort cursed the position when Dumbledore rejected his application so that no one can keep the job for more than a year. Seriously.

It wound up backfiring on Voldemort more than once, though.

>>83489716

She's a hypocrite.

She made Hermione white because the zeitgeist in 2006 was to have white main characters their (mostly white) British readers could identify with.

She made her white to sell more books.

Now the zeitgeist is to have multiracial main characters because >muh social justice sells books nowadays.

If she wanted to be groundbreaking she would have specified Hermione was black back in the original 2006 casting for the movie.

It's easy to be ""groundbreaking"" when everyone is doing it.

Fucking cunt.

>>83487777
That's not really how it works, though. Everyone in Slytherin is a pureblood, and most of them come from long lines of Slytherin families. They grow up getting taught that they're superior and that everyone who isn't a pure-blooded Slytherin is scum.

Which is kind of the default position in wizarding society, by the way. The books make it very clear that blood purity values are accepted by almost all of society, so it's not like most people would think there's anything wrong with Slytherins being racists. And when you consider that most Slytherin families were rich and powerful, it's a huge stretch to claim that they're hated or oppressed in any meaningful way. They're basically like frat guys; exclusive, rich assholes who lots of people talk shit about, but who are still the ones with the most social power.

Except she never said that Hermoine is black, or that she intended her to be. Rowling is just defending the casting of a black woman in a play by saying that her race wasn't important in the books. It's not her fault people started sperging out and don't know that theater has a long tradition of colorblind casting.

She said she loves Black hermione and that her skin colour wasn't specified in the books.
Given how much race baiting is done today, and that the tweet lacks context, there's plenty of leeway for confusion to occur. The situation was probably made worse given how much virtue signalling she tends to do on Twitter.

Had she just said something along the lines of
>Race switches happen in theatre all the time, you stupid fucks

What was that about?

I wished they just made Slytherine the house with all the unstable, rebellious but creative and potentially genius kids. Basically the one with the odd assortment of stoners, goths, weirdos, rebels and occasionally the school shooter.

It'd be easier to justify having at Hogwarts rather than Wizard Aryan house and you could still preserve the veneer of pure blood aristocracy of the series with Gryffandor to some extent. It would be easier to you know space out the evil and make it a bit more nuanced.

The problem stems from the fact that Rowling was writing on the fly until book 3, and by that time she was either unwilling or unable to fix the character damage she'd done.
I'm personally on the side of unwilling, since the protagonists slowly maturing would have been the perfect way to have them leave their old prejudice and childishness behind.

I personally mended a fuckton of bridges I burned by being an asshole during my younger years, and was aided by the fact that the spergs I used to be an asshole to sorted their shit out and became far less abrasive and obnoxious.

Because Slytherin is the most retarded thing you could ever do. Its housing every future leader or elite in wizard society in one house where they can abuse nepotism to new heights.

That happens in the books, though. Even the Malfoy's get a redemption arc, and Draco, who had been Harry's nemesis was shown to be a mislead kid who regrets his choices. Granted, Slytherins are still shown as assholes in later books, but that's mostly the result of them being smug about how their families are powerful and exempt from terrorist acts or criminal investigation. The main problem is still the parents, who teach their kids to be assholes, and wizarding society as a whole, which is racist and full of corruption.

I guess the books are better at conveying this, but the slytherins are never really portrayed as evil, or the enemy. Harry is quick to blame them for things, but he's almost always wrong (the main exception being in book 7, where Draco was being forced to act against his will). the problem is always shown as being the culture that produced kids who think it's okay to be bullies to kids that are different that them.

>>83490983
Why the fuck couldn't Dumbledore undo that, though?

I'm pretty sure it was made clear that Dumbledore was objectively stronger than Voldemort, which is why Voldy had to do the whole of Book Six to stop him. So it's safe to assume Dumbledore's magic is stronger, no? Is there just a series of unbreakable curses that can only end with the user's death?

And for that matter, wouldn't the curse still being active as of Book One make it obvious to the world that Voldy was still alive?
