It is imo legitimately poor writing that there isn't a single sympathetic slytherin student.

>>211959486
Yeah I'm sure there were plenty of likeable lads in the Hitler's Youth

>>211959486
Snape? probably half counts. Potter himself was of course said to be a good match.

>>211959572
this but unironically

>>211959449 (OP)
You gotta admit its pretty funny in a movie all about how authoritarianism and discrimination are wrong, we have this scene.

>>211959678
The first movie made the point that becoming a Slitherin (AKA evil) was a choice, so you can't cry about discrimination after.

>>211959778
What if you only joined to do a little evil like cheating on your wizard taxes and calling the obviously Irish wizards poor?

>>211959449 (OP)
retarded movie canon

>>211959678
Harry Potter is unironically incredibly conservative. The bad guys are 1920s progressive social Darwinists, vs Chesterton traditionalists.

oh boo hoo hoo they were sequestered to their comfy rooms for one evening

>>211959486
Hey now, maybe Harry and Ginny's kid will be a good Slytherin, that's about all JK can manage.

>>211959572
A lot of them were probably nice kids because they're just normal people and not the one dimensional evil monster the propaganda you consume say they were

>>211959449 (OP)
Yeah it's kinda retarded how seemingly all teachers hate a quarter of their school's students

>>211959778
from my point of view, gryffindor were the evil guys.
even their colours were evil. scarlet( colour of blood and war) gold (colour of greed).

>>211959449 (OP)

>>211960288
>A lot of them were probably nice kids
unironically not for long. kids are brutal by nature and if you encourage their brutality they become monsters

>>211961978
What do you think Hitler Youth did, Zyklon B synthesizing merit badges?

Slytherins make the best wizards though.

>>211962026
they fought in the volkssturm like fanatics even though the war was already lost. probably did some war crimes too while they were at it because what do you think happens when you hand a child a gun and tell them to deal with the "bad guys"?

>>211960339
>put all the problematic students into a containment box so the normal students don't have to put up with their shit
Why can't IRL schools be like Hogwarts?

>>211959572
all lads in the Hitler Youth were likeable

>>211961978
>>211962093
good movie, seem like top lads.

>>211959614
>Potter himself was of course said to be a good match.
It probably just says that to kids that seem like goody-two-shoes to see how they'd react.

>>211959572
Yeah Pope Benedict for example

>>211959572
They were
Now the good comparison is finding a good lad in the IDF

>>211959486
Slughorn stuck around to fight
None of the children ftom any house should hsve been allowed to fight, the teachers should have forced them all to take cover.

>>211959778
>Lets have 12 year olds decide for themselves if they belong to team waffen-SS, team bullied-retards, team nerd or team bully-jocks. Seems fair.
>Oh and the choice is for the next 7 years, its not like puberty can change a person or something.
>Oh and if you choose wrong you might automatically be on the losing side of a civil war within 5 years, but no pressure kid, folow your heart ;)
Bravo Rowling

>>211959572
Get hit by an Iranian bomb, Mr. Shekelstein.
Get hit by two.

>>211962245
That's easy, you just have to find a dead one

Harry should've had a hot ambiguously evil crush from Slytherin who eventually sides against the Shit Eaters because they kneel to a gigantic phimotic penis.

>be 11 year old kid

>>211962093
so they were better people than most nazis?

>>211959486
but THEY are the symphatetic ones. the rest are all liberal communist race traitor jews. pure evil and rotten.

>>211962093
>they fought in the volkssturm like fanatics even though the war was already lost
rather dead than dishonoured. something you wouldnt understand, jeet

>>211964487
that sounds like it would be dangerously interesting, moreso than the Ginny Weasley OTP romance, so we can't have that.

>>211962093
>How dare you defend yourself against Russian rape ape hordes!

>>211965481
>>211965737
you're right go fight the good fight to the death! i'll cheer for you and will take care of your wives in case something unexpected happens to you :)

>>211965998
unironically a good point but fighting probably means more rape than if you were entering peace negotiations. you still had the western Allies on the other side to keep things somewhat civil

>>211959486
snape
reginald black
slughorn

>>211959778
Without Ron, Harry would never have known that Slytherin was "absolute evil." They should give you a house flyer with your acceptance letter.

>>211959449 (OP)
If you want coherence you should be reading Tolkien.

>>211959572
It was a national organization of like 8 million members. Slytherin is a much smaller group.

>>211959678
Hermione's crusade against house-elf slavery ends with the house-elves telling her that they like being slaves. The story ends with Potter becoming an unironic bootlicker, getting his dream job as a cop for the regime who was against him all that time. In JK Rowling's neoliberal worldview these are good developments. She's against systemic change, and is on side of the status quo institutions, just get rid of the one Nazi on top and God is in his heaven again.

>>211959449 (OP)
>what is fan service

the movies as a whole are abominations. read harry potter and the methods of rationality, the author shits on rowling a lot and i love it

>>211962093
life will punish you for this. when the pain hits you, just know you deserve it for being low iq and pushing it onto others

>>211962378
i cant find words for how demented you are. the hat tries to sort you in a house that is best at helping you fulfill a deep desire: friends/standing out/finding answers/living close to the kitchen. it takes into account what you feel like you want, even if you might be lying to yourself.
the book is told from harrys perspective which makes the characters a little one-dimensional but its your fault if you trust the narrator or thinks theyre omniscient.

>>211967928
do you have anything else other than cryptic warnings? the last oracle i visited had at least cute women. just sayin

>>211964487
Draco should have been a girl

>>211966514
>western allies
>civil

good goy forgot how amerigolems went berzerk on germans gunning them down when they saw the deads in the camps and never getting punished for it. funny how they were part of the military that was responsible for those deaths in the first place when they destroyed german supply lines.

>>211968255
i don't talk to the mentally disabled

>>211968171
yes im telling you to think, not to feel.

>>211968307
k

>>211964487
Just like my animes! Kys weeb.

>>211959778
Then what the fuck is the sorting hat for? Fucking retard

>>211967660
>pissco elysium
this is what video game paste eaters consider good writing? lmao no wonder nobody takes you bedwetters seriously

>>211968475
You're in a Harry Potter thread.

>>211968204
Ubironically would have made Draco way better.

>>211959572
It's people like this who protested Vietnam and then spit on soldiers when they got back

Extant humans have addled their brains via extended safety

>>211968622
The volunteers deserved to be spat on, and more. Contrary to popular belief, most American soldiers in Vietnam were volunteers, about two-thirds.

>Let’s section all the potential problem children into a single house so they’re free to scheme and plot without any oversight, and put a former Death Eater in charge of them

>>211960353
there literally isn't a more evil colour than green

Half this thread is retards screeching about why the children's books aren't well-written
The other half is retards arguing the children's book was in fact well-written
Which makes this thread 100% retarded

>>211959449 (OP)
iir in the book they all went on their own. they were evacuating everyone and most of the slytherin chose to leave

>>211968935
then unc chimes in mad that he doesn't understand what's going on any more but still has to type words

>>211968935
Kids aren’t always dumb, give them cliche poorly written garbo and they’ll get bored.

>>211962137
Because it would be racist

>>211962093
Kids and teenagers who don't know better and have just seen their homes bombed to smithereens can be easily manipulated by adults to fight to the death, we should be as charitable to children in this situation whether they were from Germany back then or from Palestine today.

WOW it's almost like these books were written by a transphobe who lacks basic human decency!

>>211959486
Merlin was a Slytherin

>>211970323
Looks like all the trans folk in your image are the people actually lacking human decency.
