yoo that "not everyone can be homestuck" drop tho

One of the worst things to come from Poland, in the name of all polish people: we apologize for the author, we hate her too.

Holy crap I didn’t even realize that you were uploading on your live channel wtf

What would be the alternate of Slytherin existing? Statistically wouldn't there always be ambitious blood-supremacist psychopath wizards? Diluting them into the other houses would not eliminate that. Hogwarts just decided to isolate them into their 'safe space...' as young impressionable teenagers... to reinforce and lock in all of their immature feelings and ideas...

I miss you Quinn Curio and your bespoke takes

Ben is the squid stomach boy. Not number 5.

Some things I'd like to talk about: I've heard somewhere that Dolores would have been a good evil Hufflepuff, and as a fellow Hufflepuff, I agree. Imagine: the most hated witch in the fandom is not even from the 'mean' house, but the 'nice' one. It would make our house more 2-dimensional. Yeah, there's that mean/grumpy Hufflepuff guy, but he was a minor character. I also want to add that I think it makes sense that Snape would pick on Harry for what his father did. Snape could have that flaw of being immature by taking revenge of his bully via his son... but the problem is that he doesn't have a reason to bully the other students. He scared Neville so badly that he was his bogart. If Snape bullied Harry and only Harry, I think he can be seen in a better light. Not a good light, obviously, but at least he wouldn't torment the other kids. As you mentioned, it's because he's in Slytherin that he was meaner. And one more thing... 39:36 of course TvTropes would put in information with no sources. Some of their information is just flat-out wrong. I have a love-hate relationship with that site.

The house is fine. The slytherin traits are fine and doesn't make you a bad person, every trait of other houses could also be used for evil. It's just that rowling herself forgot about it and only wrote gryffindors, barely passing background characters, and saturday morning cartoon villains. Dunno about you lads, but a bunch of wizarding boomers following a self proclaimed noseless bootleg snake twat and being so loyal to him for no reason sounds more like trademark hufflepuff loyalty to me, doesn't give a whiff of slytherin, really strange that most(all) of his followers are slytherin. After all, I just don't see someone with Slytherin pride, cunning and ambition being ok with some noseless twat treading all over them. Hmmm what did rowling mean by this. Could it be that she wasn't a good enough writer to stick with house traits she herself wrote. Hmmm really strange indeed. No offense puffs, after all you're my favorite people. Aside of snakey myself, of course.

Do i shouldnt exist?

well they made him a gingah so theres that, they could've made him black and made another much cooler character a hot ginger

It exists because in her world view upholding the status que is the good ending. Same reaseon the slaves are happy to serve.

Imagine Snape's character, now try to imagine if the Potters had a daughter instead of Harry. Superimpose his fixations about Lily, on that story and he ages worse milk, the more you think about him. The man is down bad just looking at Harry's eyes.

"Aww see? He's looking at the cane lovingly and getting offended someone called it the wrong word, he's clearly not abused." ...Is that seriously your reasoning? What?! You showed three clips of Lucius LITERALLY caning Draco but because Draco obviously respects and wants the love of his father, you consider that proof that he isn't abused...? The behavior of looking at something of your abuser's lovingly or getting offended someone said the wrong thing about something of your abuser's are both things that would genuinely happen more commonly than you'd hope. People who love their abusers are unfortunately a bit blind and forgiving. I'm sorry but everything I'm seeing just proves it more. I get that he's most likely not being abused in the books, but it's very clear in the movies. Hell, I know Lucius sees Dobby as lower than him, so I'm not saying Draco gets thrown around the way Dobby does, but that behavior doesn't just come out of nowhere. And again, Draco WAS literally caned three times on screen... Oh, and as for Narcissa, I believe her only crime was continuously teaching Draco to live in fear, out of self-preservation. She taught him that because she obviously loves him and cares but it's such a bad trait for him and is just torturing him, honestly. Becoming a Death Eater because of fear of Voldy was the worst thing he ever did, it was eating away at him. I just really wish he had someone good to look up to, someone to teach him right and wrong. Because of his lack of knowledge of how to be good, no good role models, and a love for his bad role models, I do think that he kinda was "the boy who had no choice". But yeah, otherwise, I enjoyed this video, genuinely.

I am not a Potterhead, so please excuse me, if my question is stupid: *Is it ever explained, WHY they even have student houses based on CHARACTER TRAITS in Hogwarts?* - I mean: From an educational perspective it is (obviously!) much better to MIX the dutiful (Gryffindor), the ego-driven (Slytherin), the nerdy (Ravenclaw) and the nature-loving (Hufflepuff) students, because in a hodgepodge they can benefit from their complementary differences.

Girl released a banger of a video then vanished from the face of the earth

If the house were really so cunning and ambitious why didn’t Voldemort face constant challenges to power, sabotage, and assassination attempts from his own supporters? It seems like there would be a lot of people wanting to overthrow him

It could have been interesting for JK to explore the school’s responsibility for hate groups stemming from not uprooting the problem in childhood and not taking an active role in the moral development of the literal children in their charge. Like Hogwarts is expensive to attend. There’s a thing there about rich families pulling their influence at school to ensure that their children are taught the “status quo” and are all allowed to live together with minimal exposure to children of other backgrounds and beliefs. Evocative of people in US schools that protest when their kids are taught that gay people exist. Wealthy families influencing a private school’s agenda is FASCINATING to explore and complexly political.

I'm so sad I just found this channel and then I look at the other videos and this is the last one. I'm gonna watch like all of them bc I really like her style but still it sucks.

People are overthinking this and demanding too much from J. K. Rowling. She didn't write Harry Potter with any genius lore in mind, she just wrote fantasy books that happened to be really good. And when the books became popular, fans started demanding more lore, but initially it was really that simple - the good house, the bad one and two unimportant ones

40:40 As a matter of - no she didn't. It seems you missed an important detail here. Read the final scenes of the battle again: After most of the Death Eaters have fallen only two fights remain: Bellatrix Lestrange who is fighting against Luna, Hermione and Ginny - and Voldemort, fighting against McGonaall, Kingsley...and Slughorn. How can he fight against Slughorn (who left Hogwarts prior to the battle with the Slytherin students) if Slughorn didn't return to fight? Yes, there's no mentioning that Slytherin students returned to fight, but Slughorn definetly did so it is at least not impossible that a few Slytherins did as well. As a matter of fact: We know that students sneaked back in to fight after the battle started. When listing the casualties after the battle you'll notice that Colin Creevey is among the dead - he had to leave when the younger students left the school. He obviously returned as well even though it wasn't mentioned. So yes, it is absolutely mentioned that people who left the school at the start of the battle returned. PS: It would be nice to learn more about the other 10 major wizard schools and their structure - as well as the numerous minor schools that do exist as well. From all we know the different schools vary greatly in many aspects (like Durmstrang outright rejecting Muggleborn students to Hogwarts's and Ilvermorny's house systems to Uagadou students almost never using wands). And as much as Voldemort is a central character in the Harry Potter series - he's barely the only dark mage and his activities are almost exclusively focused on Great Britain. Many other dark wizards are not Slytherins because they never attended Hogwarts, they learned magic elsewhere.

Well according to the lore there is only one house that produced almost no dark wizards - and guess what it's not Gryffindor. As a matter of fact Gryffindor is actually the house that produced the second most dark wizards after Slytherin (not to mention that Harry himself used dark magic including an unforgibable curse - Crucio - on several occasions in the book). The house that opposes Dark Wizards the most is in fact Hufflepuff, not Gryffindor.

1. You misunderstood the whole story😂 2. You just made this video to hate on rowling😅

Too many Hollywood writers only do things by the numbers. If you have three leads, you have a hero, a heroine and a sidekick, period. They can't write three equally strong characters that all shape the narrative. That's why a lot of Ron's best book lines and scenes were given away.

I remember watching this on a roadtrip a year or two ago.

29:41 good one

" Ron's not dumb.... what? "

I feel the snape notes point was a little harsh considering it was a plot point tied into their bias towards each other, harry also thought snape was automatically the villain of the first book and also thought Draco was the heir to slytherin in 2, that’s a character trait, he is biased towards slytherin just as snape is biased towards harry, it shows the “villains” can be like the heroes and the heroes can be like the villains.

If JKR wrote the books today, she would definitely add a trans Slytherin.

It doesn’t exist. It’s just part of a fictional book.

snape and ron's is my favorite fan relationship

No videos since this one?? I really like the way you get deep into the topic

I don't think it ever said Slughorn came back with other Slytherins. Slughorn did come back to fight. He was one of the last duelers and was fighting Voldemort. I think the thought of other Slytherins coming back comes from Phineas Nigellas saying, "And let it be known that Slytherin House played its part! Let our contribution not be forgotten!" I just assumed he meant Snape and Slughorn. Voldemort says to Lucius when he wants to look for Draco, that if Draco is dead it's his own fault since he didn't come to Voldemort like the other Slytherins. Only the 7th years would have been allowed to stay and fight and none of the Slytherins in Harry's year would have fought alongside Harry

It’s difficult to listen to your decidedly unserious voice tone.

A theory you aren’t considering is that what if all Slytherins secretly want Voldemort back, and that this is the criteria for being selected. When Harry was selected at Hogwarts, when he was saying not slytherin, this could have been a subconscious rejection of the wizarding world. Whereas a Slytherin would be more inclined to reject the Muggle world, and the other houses Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are largely apolitical.

come back please ur videos are my bread & butter 😢

Hey, I know this video is old and I know I've watched it several times before. But I finally looked up when did Snape become a spy and what that entails. Because I fall on the camp that Snape was a bitter and terrible guy that couldn't get over being rejected. He never expressed regret over the harm he done as a death eater nor for being the reason James also died and Harry becoming an orphan. He only regretted that Lilly died. He bullied children for no reason (I know of the headcannon he was keeping up appearances, but that could swing the other way around. He could treat all students with indifference and just favor the slitherings, revealing to them that he was forced to not be racist because of Dumbledore or whatever), he went after Lupin and Sirius in the shrieking shack out of revenge, even after all these years of suffering they endured (which were worse than his)... All he did as redemption was being a spy, like was said in the video, but he wasn't a spy for 16 years. He became an informant after talking to Dumbledore, so sure, he was a spy before Voldemort's fall, but only for a little while. After the war ended, he became an informant, but that's it, which any other death eater could've become out of fear or regret. And only after Voldemort returned that he was at risk of being found out. I'm not diminishing the importance of what he did, but his redemption was being useful for some 4 years and loving a dead woman. Not enough to make him one of the people Harry names his children after Also, naming your children after people is never a good idea when you have at least 20 options but not 20 children

The scene she is referring to was when slug horn comes back with the people in the village not with slither in but with the people in the village also, where are you? Please come back we miss you.

Perhaps if your fun magic school even has the option to sort eleven year old children into the *wizardHitler dormitory* that is indictive of a profoundly thoughtless worldbuilding and not the kind of thing that you can brush under the rug and retcon a decade later in a podcast. Something like that could be (should be) a vital plot point of the series if handled better and if JKR had written that theme with any meaningful intent. It really feels like any poignancy in her writing was an accident, like she stumbled upon a nugget of something profound while panning for gold in mud.

I keep thinking this is Umbrella Corp from Resident Evil

I only watched Fantastic Beasts, and I think they dealt with diversity a bit better.

I have no idea why Percy Weasley wasn't sorted into Slytherin

In my opinion, the best way to rehabilitate Slytherin is to have Ginny end up there. She certainly fulfills the characteristics of Slytherin, and while her brothers are all Gryffindors, Parvati and Padma are in different houses despite being twins, so there's precedent for that.

Im not gonna try and excuse what are objective faults in the writing if slytherin characters but one thing that doesnt seem to get brought up here is that people are often products of their environment, beholden to the specific etiquettes and expectations of their peers.

Same reason conservatives do I reckon.

People remake movies and videogames all the time, is harry potter where we start the conversation about remaking books and fixing shit? I mean Harry Potter is in the process of being remade into a tv show right now.

That bit at 40:18 where she makes up a part of the book to make herself feel better is like, the next step up from "Dumbledore was gay all along". Just... I don't know. So perfect somehow?? Like she can't settle with making stuff up that no one can verify. She'd moved on to just making stuff up that's verifiably not true about Her Own Work so she doesn't have to self reflect or something?!?!???

You have raised the bar so high for my critics of bad media, that I cannot enjoy anyone talking into a camera for 40 minutes going "Super-omega-yikers" about a book, movie, tv show, comic, etc. I love you so much and if you ever do any more critical reviews of subpar/trashy media I will be waiting in the rain with a peony bouquet

this is a wonderful video
