You missed Hagrid. He opened the Chamber of Secrets and was in Nockturn Alley starting CoS. I don’t know, not sure Tom Riddle was the one who opened the chamber after all. ETA: Jesus Christ it was a joke comment. You don’t need to be a fan to know Tom Riddle opened the chamber. I leave you all with Voldemort’s famous words: “yer a wizard, Hairy”
Lockhart not evil? Questionable. He deliberately destroyed the minds and identities of several people for his own personal gain, and was willing to do the same to two children whilst leaving Ginny to die. All without any apparent remorse.
I wonder if it was confirmed that he completely obliviated everyone? Or did he only erase those specific memories? That does make a shade of a difference, though it is still despicable from the start, and the moment he wanted to abandon Ginny, he tipped over to evil.
He didn’t destroy any minds or identities he “simply” made people forget about certain things they’d done, he didn’t go that far (this is not technically specified but I really don’t see Lockhart going that far; he’s not that wicked. He is despicable tho, don’t get me wrong
@@viktoriavadon2222 yeah he did abandon Ginny, but no one knew she was alive, the painting said “her SKELETON will lie”. He didn’t want to risk his life to retrieve a corpse that might dirty his hair
Wouldn't it be awesome if we had some of Harry's classmates were from Slytherin who were kind and friendly? The thing I like most about the Cursed Child is Albus getting sorted into Slytherin and having a self discovery.
Yep but maybe Draco would have treathened them to not be kind to Harry. Would not have suprised me. Draco would just have done a Draco Malfoy if he did so LOL😂 and yes true, i think the reason why Albus was in slytherin was because if he was in griffindoor it would not have been anything unnatural about the book and that is kind of the point with the Harry Potter Franchise that it is happening unnatural things. But that is also the whole definition of a good book😂
Even if they weren't outright nice, surely there would be a lot of Slytherins who couldn't stand Malfoy? He treats nearly everyone like crap, and it would be his fellow Syltherins who had to spend the most time with him. Consider Lucius effectively buying Malfoy the position of Slytherin seaker - that means there's at least one and probably more aspiring seakers in Slytherin house who got upstaged by some swagering snot-nosed little brat who's dad happened to be richer than theirs. It would make a lot of sense for at least a few Slytherin kids to see Harry as their enemy's enemy at the very least
Well a Slytherin is ambitious before anything, and ambition can be a heroic trait if it's used right. Kinda like how sith crave power, but don't necessarily have to do evil deeds
@@denizkenger52 Not true Meriln was as powerful as Dumbledore and Voldemort maybe even more so he was famous hence the Merlins beard quote if he were just a random guy people wouldnt be saying his name in modern times and also dont forget the order of Merlin which he was the head and creator of he was most certainly one of if not the most powerful wizard of all time
I think Hagrid's comment of "all bad wizards came from Slytherin" is more an expression of his own bias and hatred towards the house, after what happened to him. It was their prefect that framed him for a murder and caused him to be expelled. And seeing how Hagrid was on first name terms with Tom, I do believe at the time Hagrid was pretty close to him, despite coming from a different house... Such a betrayal does leave scars. With Crouch Jr., I do find it likely that he was a Ravenclaw, rather than Slytherin, due to his high emphasis on intelligence and his general lack of ambition. He wants to serve Voldemort but there is little to nothing hinting that he does so out of belief for the Pure-Blood Cause or for a particular role of power in the group. He sees in Voldemort a kindred spirit, with similar backgrounds and he only wants the approval of his master... And with Dumbledore, I would argue he never abandoned his attitude of: for the greater good. Dumbledore still does some very questionable things through his life, sacrifice people and prepare others to make sacrifices. He still operates on the tenants for the Greater Good, going even so far of sacrificing his own life "for the Greater Good". The Wizarding community has just been fortunate that the Greater Good has been redefined to conserve the Wizarding world as it is and stop Dark Lords as Grindelwald and Voldemort... Dumbledore isn't an evil character but certainly a dark one with a lot of grey shades in his moral system.
Supercarlinbrothers did a theory video on the last paragraph there and it's one of the most (if not the most) elaborate theories I've seen for any fandom, it's called dumbledore's big plan and you would check it out
@@hlhlhlhlhl8064 I shall, I have seen a several of their theories (I believe I'm even subscribed) and though I don't always agree with their theories, sometimes believe they are dead wrong on certain things, they often have interesting ideas.
Exactly, given Senior's distain for the dark arts and anyone associated with it. He especially didn't want anyone associating him with the dark arts. If his son had be sorted in Slytherin, the house most associated with the dark arts, Senior would have disowned Junior the moment he heard.
@@ladystarlight4717 I don’t think so, the hat does take into count your choice and if crouch hated slytherin so much then I don’t think he would’ve been one. More likely he was a ravenclaw and his son was also probably a ravenclaw cause crouch would’ve disowned him if he had been a slytherin
But the thing is crouch jr. was in Slytherin. But crouch sr. was also a Slytherin (bc he was extremely ambitious and became minister in a rapid amount of time compared to others) which was why he didn’t freak out. (Search it up if you need to)
@@editinqppl you talking about Cornelius Fudge over there? Cause Barty Crouch never became minister, he wanted to but his being accused lost him the chance. He hated Slytherin and most people do believe that his son was a Ravenclaw. Also I don’t recall him showing ambition he was more of a jerk whose intelligent kinda like his son.
@Ezra O'Connor NOBODY knew he was framed. Otherwise Hagrid would have told Dumbledore. And if Dumbledore would have believed in Sirius' innocence at this point of time I can very much assure you that Sirius would not have gone to Azkaban. Full stop.
@@grizzly_izzy Funny detail, Hagrid and Black also had in common that they both have been in Azkaban for a crime somebody else committed (In Black's case the true culprit was Pettigrew and in Hagrid's case Voldemort). Although I need to re-read if Hagrid had been in Azkaban when he made that statement and was released thanks to Dumbledore, or if Dumbledore could prevent Hagrid being sent to Azkaban. In The Chamber of Secrets Hagrid actually went to Azkaban, and was released once Harry managed to clear up all mysteries, vindicating Hagrid in the process.
Also, at the time that Hagrid said that there weren't any bad wizards who weren't in Slytherin, Sirius was believed to be evil. However, he was in Gryffindor. We know now that he wasn't evil, but he was believed to be back then.
Another Video Suggestion....I feel that Argus Filch deserves a video of his own......Could you do a video about him,his relationship with Mrs Norris,His living quarters and office at Hogwarts and his decision to pursue a KwikSpell course...and so on?
Just when you think a character is good/bad, you receive a piece of information that makes you think again. That's one of my favorite things about HP. Thanks for showing, again, that all is not black and white in the wizarding world, Hogwarts Houses included.
I think Hagrid's misinterpreted Here. We know now that he was wrong in his statement. But he certainly didn't say that all Slytherins are evil. Merely that all wizards who went bad came from Slytherin house. That doesn't mean all of them.
even at the time he said it, he was wrong. at the time most of the wizarding world thought that Sirius (a Gryffindor, granted with a long family of Slytherins) was bad.
@@denizkenger52 Yes I know. I've known it all the time. I wrote "we know now..." as a nice gesture towards the narrator. To be polite. And Hagrid still didn't say that all Slytherins are bad.
Could you make a video of what if Dumbledore hadn’t turned good? Like what if he actually left with Grindelwald and the two of them took over the world. I don’t think they would’ve been stoppable especially with the elder wand.
As a member of Slytherin House I thank you for this video. I've been telling these kinds of things to my Ravenclaw Sister, and our Griffyndor Nieces for years. Also, in the last book there was reference to many Slytherins students from Hogwarts fighting for Harry. I was miffed when they changed that in the last movie.
I m actually curious why sorting hat put Lockhart in ravenclaw. He certainly wasn't wise, on the other hand he was cunning!!! and cunningness is a slytherin trait!! He certainly brought out more of slytherin traits (Cunningness, being opportunistic, striving to be successfull but not caring about the cost people paid, ambitious (though he lacked discipline),a greed for being famous etc.) He also has a knack for saving his own ass!!! Hptheory pls make a video on this topic
I reckon Gilderoy was actually a hatstall. The sorting hat couldn't choose between Slytherin and Ravenclaw for Gilderoy and finally decided Ravenclaw for some reason.
Because I reckon the sorting hat puts you in the house whose traits you value, not that you embody. Gilderoy valued talent and intelligence, even if he wasn't either.
Dumbledore said once to Snape that letting the sorting hat choosing the houses when kids are 11 is probably wrong as the hat made some mistakes (in shorts, that's what he was saying) leaving Snape speechless. Basically, Dumbledore was complimenting Snape for his bravery. I wouldn't consider Dumbledore evil tho. He never killed anyone, not intentionally, as his sister died because of a duel between him and Grindelwald. It's true that he wanted to rule among the Muggles, but it's also true that when he was young his world was different. Muggles were considered inferior because they didn't have any power, while wizards and witches, especially if powerful, were thought to be superior as they could teach or "guide" muggles and everyone else. If I have to judge Dumbledore with a world I would say he was a fool. And he knew that, he even said that to Harry.
I think his balding happened when he was anxious that Sirius escaped and is coming to hunt him down (I remember mentions of Scabbers balding, that Ron attributed to Crookshanks terrorizing him). But there may be something to it!
Could you please do a video about all the magical devices in the Harry Potter Universe? For Instance,devices like the Foe Glass,SneakoScopes,Omnioculars,The Hogwarts HourGlasses,Remembralls,Sirius' Knife,DungBombs,Extendable Ears,Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder,The Pensieve,Time-Turners,Put-Outers and others?
True, but the magnitude of what James did wasn't really comparable. Dumbledore wanted to become a dictator ruling over muggles, James was just a bully.
@@HarryPotterTheory That’s true. I guess I was just thinking of how much James actually affected Snape as a whole and how he made his time miserable at Hogwarts. Btw thanks for replying!
Snape's ultimate downfall was choosing to become a death-eater. Harry was bullied ever since he was sent to the Durseys but he never chose the dark side, even though he was carrying a Voldemort's horcrox. Of course, James made a number of bad decisions and mistakes with Snape, but none of them of the magnitude of Snape's colossal mistake to become a death eater. So ironic that by revealing the prophecy to Voldemort, he started the chain of events that would lead to the death of Lily Potter. But just like Snape redeems himself after that, so did James, Dumbledore and many others (Regulus Black, Draco). The real bad ones never really choose good (Voldemort, Bellatrix, Lockheart, Barty Crouch Junior, Greyback, Umbridge).
@ Deniz Kenger: well, Harry was bullied by the Dursleys and friendless for as long as he remembered himself and he never became a bully. And that in spite of him being a host for Voldemort's horcrux. Of course James and his friends were wrong to bully Snape, but Snape still had a choice. And he made the wrong one. Some people always blame circumstances... the truth is our choices are what determines who we are and not the circumstances in our lives. Eventually Snape realized that. He relized his mistake and wanted to atone for inadvertently having caused the death of the only person he loved.
@@HarryPotterTheory James and Serious verbally attacked Snape during their first meeting on the Hogwarts' Express and the aggression increased from there. Not saying James nor Serious are evil. I liked them a lot as adults, but I found their behavior as young men to be troubling, especially because it pushed Snape towards the dark side. I think a video exploring whether or not James and his friends sewed some seeds of evil for the future would be a worthwhile video. Also, I think Rowling made a lot of excuses for them and I'm still not quite sure why Lily chose James. Seems like a trope imho.
@M. H. Badruddoza Zia it wold have sounded great the other way round😅...... And we can't say albus was evil... He was just u know naive..... And also he was mad in love with gellet....
Good catch on young Dumbledore. I think that'd make a facinating What If story. What if Ariana hadn't died, would Dumbledore have joined Grindlewald? Ultimately, I think Grindlewald's measures would've driven Dumbledore off naturally and events would progress as they did in our own timeline, however several years delayed. Perhaps Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts when a young Tom Riddle attended leading to a dramaticly faster rise to power. Or the Dumbledore tempered Grindlewald takes even longer to break and has to deal with a young upstart challenger before even putting his plans into full motion. Or the pair team up with the ministry to defeat Voldemort only to overthrow it from the inside. Interesting ideas...
Honestly I think Grindelwald would have been a footnote in Wizarding history. It wouldn't have taken long for Dumbledore to sour on Grindelwald's methods. Dumbledore would have tried to talk Grindelwald down at first but once he realized that wasn't going to work he would a stop to Grindelwald and his plans. The only reason this didn't happen when Ariana died was because they were only in the planning stages of their scheme. I don't think Dumbledore ever thought Grindelwald would carry out their plan alone.
I agree. Dumbledore had a good moral compass and a very intelligent mind. He may have been charmed by Grindevald for a while, but if not the death of Ariana, another death or injury would have been the "wake up call". The mistakes of his youth is what gives depth and conviction of Dumbledore's character. As well as compassion and desire to give people and magical beings a second chance. To quote Hagrid "Great man, Dumbledore. "
Dumbledore and Grindelwald would have fakked Voldy. As upto Voldys time, they would have rulers of Muggle and Magical world. The Ministry as well as Schools around the World would have been under them. Dumbledore could read minds and knew Tommy did release that Cobra from his Ancestors gaming room as he was also the Heir of Synthetics, and would have straight send to Azkaban.
So hagrid said that ("There's not one witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin") But it isn't even like you can give him credit for not knowing about peter pettigrew because he and everyone else thought Sirius was bad and a strong supporter of Voldemort. He was already in Azkaban at the time and they knew Sirius was in Gryffindor... I'll give him some slack on all the others because they weren't KNOWN to be evil at the time he said it, but its always confused me that he thought Sirius was guilty and still said that.

You're not alone majority of the potterhead do not consider it as part of hp series, And by the way this book have only 4 chapters with most of dialogue & conversation between the characters, so obviously it has nothing to do with Harry potter's sequel.
Slughorn is a great example, he was Slytherin but yet so kindhearted and never put difference between muggle borns half bloods and pure bloods so not all slytherin were bad
Despite the very selfish and less destructive nature of Lockheart's actions I personally put him in the evil category. Of course I see evil as a spectrum.
Nah, he was totally evil. Destroying someone's whole life is almost as bad as killing them, and having no memory takes away all your past experiences changing competely who you are.
@@bananaforscale1283 it's even worse than killing them. Lockhart was very evil. And worse than that he was dangerous and a liar and could betray anyone. An enemy you can trust to attack you. But only an ally can betray you. Lockhart was a monster
Let's consider which house he;d be in if he ever went to Hogwarts. I think cunning and ambitious fits best, so even if he wasn't technically in Slytherin, that's where he'd fit, so not the best example.
@@viktoriavadon2222 1: "5 bad wizards that weren't in Slytherin". There's no speculating in which house some bad wizards would probably have been in, so not the best argument. 2: It's a joke.
@@denizkenger52 yeah but the general idea of this is Wizards who went to Hogwarts, and obviously grindelwald didn’t. Technically it’s correct, but it’s far too obvious to be a proper example.
Simply wand doesn't work. It needs training in form of Education. You can't shoot a target from a gun without a proper training. Same with Wands. Also Goblins went against Godric Gryffindor, so no one will teach them for that. Also they were sneaky and cunning and cowards. These emotions dont make a great wizard. And Centaurs dont need them as they simply dont care about Human affairs and even if they did, they arent allowed to participate.
Could you do a video on the werewolf community? I’d like to know more of what that world is like! And maybe on your mythology channel, a werewolf video would be cool!
A good argument could be made that Dumbledore NEVER became good but was always trying to control everything, including the wizarding world - without getting his hands obviously dirty most of the time. He blackmailed other wizards, such as Snape, into doing his bidding. From the Deathly Hollows book: Dumbledore opened his eyes. Snape looked horrified. “You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?” “Don’t be shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die?” “Lately, only those whom I could not save,” said Snape. He stood up. “You have used me.” “Meaning?” “I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter’s son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter -” Dumbledore is stealth evil embodied, making sure others wind up in Azkaban - because those who have evidence that would put him there are those who he has power to put into Azkaban himself.
Unless we count the garbage that is The Cursed Child to be cannon, in which case Cedric Diggory. He was so butthurt over losing the Triwizard tournament in that story that be became a Death Eater for some reason.
@@alexcrazyart6522 Oh shoot, I forgot about that! You're absolutely right! Yeah, there were parts of The Cursed Child I enjoyed like the friendship between Scorpius and Albus, which I thought was sweet and had a lot of character development potential for both the old and new protagonists. But Cedric Diggory becoming a Death Eater in an alternate timeline? I thought that was way out of character for him. Plus Delphine's existence was weird too since there was no hint whatsoever of Bellatrix being pregnant let alone giving birth while she was an active Death Eater. It was a bit much.
@@chelleshocked8666 watching some behind the scenes videos for various HP movies. Did you know the actress who played Narcissa Malfoy was originally meant to play Bellatrix, but couldn't when she found out she was pregnant? That immediately reminded me of Delphi and I found it kinda funny.
but there ware a few jerks from Hufflepuff, I consider some of them as jerks but I don't know if anyone else thinks that too but then again I've only read till book five so I won't really know a lot
I have a question: Who owns Hogwarts? As far as I understand, it isn't a public school, it is private, but, who owns it? The Scholar Council? The Headmaster?
Okay, so just a quick point - Hagrid's statement (which Ron made in the movie) never implied ALL Slytherins were bad. It doesn't say "Right, you're sorted into Slytherin at 11 years old - you're destined to turn to the Dark Arts. There's no hope of you taking a good path." It is simply a statement that Slytherin is renowned for producing Dark wizards and that any wizard who ever went bad was in Slytherin. The statement was made in the context of Hagrid explaining the different school houses to Harry after his first meeting with Malfoy in the robes shop. Hagrid says "Everyone says Hufflepuffs are a bunch of duffers but -" he never gets to finish that sentence because Harry cuts him off and says "I bet I'm in Hufflepuff." Hagrid then explains "Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin," and then makes the statement in question. The statement is of course a fallacy and wrong as this video proves. Even at this stage of the story before we find out about Peter Pettigrew (Gryffindor), Hagrid knows it to be false - he believes at this point in the story (although we don't find out until the 3rd book) that Sirius betrayed Lily and James to Voldemort (and if we concede that he didn't know about the Secret Keeper arrangement, he still believes that Sirius murdered Pettigrew and 12 muggles. He knows Sirius was in Gryffindor and best friends with James, Lily, Remus and Peter). So a pretty strange statement to make. On a side-note, I think I know why Slytherin is so adept at producing Dark wizards. First is the blood purity attitude of the house - now, simply because Salazar Slytherin was a blood purist and prized blood purity in his students, that doesn't mean you had to be a card carrying member of the pureblood supremacy club to enter the club. It also didn't mean you had to be a pureblood. It's implied in the last book that there are very rare instances where muggleborns are placed in Slytherin. Scabior, one of the snatchers that captures the trio and takes them to Malfoy Manor says "You don't find many mudblood Slytherins." The letter 'M' in front of the word 'any' is telling here. But even being a pureblood supremacists doesn't mean you'll automatically take the Voldemort/Death Eater route - Narcissa was never a marked Death Eater, but believed in blood purity. None of the Blacks except Regulus were Death Eaters, but quite clearly believed in blood purity as demonstrated by Sirius's mother's portrait. So whilst not everyone who holds blood supremacist views turns "bad", it is still one of the triggers. I think it is more to do with the values of the different houses. Gryffindor - Brave, nerve, chivalry. Bravery and nerve are more often than not used for standing up against injustice. More often than not, they are attributes used for good. However, it can occasionally be used for bad. Example - German soldiers in WWII who genuinely believed in the Nazi cause would be the HP equivalents of non-marked supporters of Voldemort who still fought in battle for Voldemort (like Greyback). You couldn't consider them "good" because they sincerely and genuinely believed in a cause that resulted in a genocide. But to put their life on the line in battle for that belief takes bravery and nerve. Ravenclaw - intelligence, learning, wisdom and wit. These can be used both ways and it depends on the values of the person outside of these. These are more "ability" based values rather than "choices" based values like Gryffindor's. So as Dumbledore says "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices." We see most use their intelligence and wisdom for good, but you get the odd narcissist like Lockhart who uses their intelligence (in his case of memory charms) for malicious purposes. Hufflepuff - hard work, patience, justice and loyalty. These are choices based values and are the least likely to be used in a bad way. This makes Hufflepuff the least likely to turn out a dark wizard. An iconic Hufflepuff line which is one of my favourite lines of the series which stems from the loyalty and justice values is "What if we want to stay and fight?!" from Ernie Macmillan when McGonagall is organising the evacuation of the castle before the battle of Hogwarts. McGonagall has said nothing at this point about over-age students being allowed to stay. So Ernie, out of a sense of loyalty to Harry, to Dumbledore's Army, to Dumbledore and a sense of justice takes it upon himself to ask, quite forcefully, about students who choose to being allowed to stay and fight against the injustice that Voldemort was perpetrating. Slytherin - ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness. These are values that can be used both ways like the other houses, but are the most easily adaptable for malicious purposes. They can certainly be used for good. Ambitious can simply mean having the attitude that if you shoot for the moon, you'll land somewhere among the stars. That can be used in relation to academics and it can be used in relation to the sort of career you want. But we also see this value in Umbridge (who was in Slytherin). She wanted power and she was prepared to do whatever it took to get it - including persecuting innocent people and killing 2 15 year old child (at the time that she sent the dementors after Harry and Dudley to Kiss them, she did not know that Harry could produce a patronus. She didn't want to just expel Harry, she wanted to permanently silence him). We also see this in Percy who was prepared to turn his back on his family for power. Cunning can also be used for good - going outside of Harry Potter, we see this on display in Matilda where she is cunning enough to come up with and execute a plan to get rid of the Truchbull who was terrorising the school. As well as being able to get back at her father. Leadership can be used for good and bad. Voldemort is an example of it being used for bad, whereas Harry is an example of it being used for good. Resourcefulness can also be used for good and bad, but it is very useful when used for bad. We see it used for good when the Trio is on the run, but we see it used for bad when the Trio is captured and Bellatrix is resourceful enough to use her knife when she had no wand to threaten to slit Harmione throat to stop the boys duelling. So overall I think it comes down to values. But Slytherin is not inherently evil.
I would not have left out older Dumbledore. He did intentionally use Harry as a means to destroy Voldemort. Though the end is for a good cause, the action is at the very least questionable, if Snape's reaction is anything to go by. It was all for "the greater good" after all.
I disagree. Albus knew that this was the path for Harry, the only way he could fulfill the prophecy. And Dumbledore sacrificed himself for that cause. At the end of it all, Harry had no choice but to sacrifice himself. So did his parents, Sirius, Tonks and Lupin, Snape and countless others.
@@129das Yes it does. Doing something for the greater good is good, if the end result outweights the sacrifices that were made to achieve it. Dumbledore was defenitely a good person and did what was right. Is a soldier bad if he defends his country by killing his enemies? No, because he’s doing it for the greater good.
Imagine a malevolent Dumbledore, though. The entire Wizarding world would probably screwed. The guy would have been unstoppable if he wanted to. Albus's worst enemy is his vanity (causing him to wear the Gaunt ring).
I've always looked at it like this; Slytherins as a whole are not inherently evil, most aren't. However those with evil in their nature who happen to attend Hogwarts, are typically drawn to Slytherin house because of what it represents and offers. Similarly though, the qualities of the other houses exaggerated to a negative degree certainly leave room for bad wizards/witches.
the quote from Hagrid "there's not a single witch/wizard who went bad who wasn't from Slytherin" is often misinterpreted to mean that all Slytherins are bad, but what he actually meant was that all Dark wizards came from Slytherin. however we know that even this statement isn't true, because of Wormtail being a Gryffindor. but to be fair to Hagrid, at the time he made that quote most of the wizarding world thought Wormtail was a good person (and was dead), but even if we take this into account his statement still isn't true because Sirius (who everyone thought was bad at the time) was also a Gryffindor. either way, there is a theory out there that Hagrid was specifically instructed to tell Harry that, not because it was true, but to dissuade Harry from wanting to be Sorted into Slytherin himself. apparently it was all part of an elaborate plan Dumbledore had for Harry which started as soon as he survived Voldemort's attempt to kill him when he was 1yo.
I don't think Dumbledore should be included because even though he did wrong things it was because of his immatureness/young age and because of his love for his best friend (grindawald) or because he was in the influence of grindawald He wasn't evil......just my opinion
He didn't check on Harry while Harry was at the Dursleys, brushed off Harry's request to stay at school(how many children want to stay at school that has a healthy relationship to their family), and relied on students to figure out who was the culprit. He deserves it.
@@Cat-kj1be no he doesn't, because I'm sure you'll know about Lily's love protection over Harry which she gave him before she died, and than love protection is even stronger when he is around the same blood of her mother's and I'm also sure u atleast know than Mrs.Dursley (Petunia) is Lily's sister and Harry's aunt so she has the same blood as Lily's, that's why Dumbledore left Harry at the Dursley, to protect him, even if they harassed him, he'll atleast not die in the hand's of voldemort, or else he considered leaving Harry to Sirius before Sirius was acused of helping voldemort finding the Potter's SO. TELL NOW MR.KNOW-IT-ALL...
@@kulsummuhammad6173 Also to mention, he became humble, smart and loved his friends more than death. And if he would have been raised in Wizarding world, he would have been arrogant and proud of his identity.
Dumbledore helped Harry to fulfill his destiny. Unfortunately being the "chosen one" leaves very few choices for Harry. And Dumbledore sacrificed himself for Harry and the cause. Remember how he protected Harry at the Dark Lake? And later when Draco disarmed him? He knew there was no alternative. And he is the one person who contributed most to Harry's successfully killing Voldemort.
@ Klaudia Grobl: He never hurt Harry intentionally. He made a few mistakes, like pretty much every single character in the book has. And he helped and saved Harry multiple times.
I didn't like the example of Quirrel. Queeni was persuaded by Grindelwald. Is she evil? No. She was just curious to hear what Grindelwald would say. So as Quirrel. No matter how many people will tell me Quirrel is evil, I think he is just like Queenie or dare I say, Snape (in his position on the Good/Evil spectrum). Same thing with Dumbledore. He wasn't bad, he was persuaded and influenced
@Mr Doctors13 He was curious to find out what happened to Voldemort, it makes perfect sense. Also Queenie tried to help Jacob by cooperating with the man that tried to kill them?
@Mr Doctors13 I did watch the film, three times. She wad manipulated and she isn't bad person. And this is my point. Quirrel was curious, and when he found him, he was manipulated by Voldemort. Besides, everyone has their own opinion. No matter what you say I will stand by my point. It's like arguing that hamburger tastes better than pizza. It's an opinion, and opinion can't be wrong
@Mr Doctors13 Not help him. He was curious to know more magic, more aspects of it. And if you'll read last comment until the end you'll know that I am not going to continue trying prove my point
How was Peter Pettigrew sorted in Gryffindor even the he's the most cowardly character in the entire franchise? He fits more in slytherin given how much he liked people in power.
There’s a lot more to Peter Pettigrew’s character than just the ‘Gryffindoor that went bad’ which is how many people paint his personality. Young Peter Pettigrew was still a very good friend of the Marauders, one of the main four. Peter Pettigrew did not betray his friends until his final years at Hogwarts. Before his betrayal, he was still actively participating in pranks with Remus, James & Sirius, exploring the castle and attending classes, living out a rather ‘normal’ life as a Hogwarts student. Painting Peter Pettigrew as just an evil Gryffindoor creates a very one dimensional character which is inaccurate to his actual story. Peter did not plan on betraying his friends from the start and there is also a popular head-cannon that suggests Peter originally became a death eater to spy for Dumbledore. Peter Pettigrew was ONCE a loyal and brave friend, dedicated to getting up to mischief with his three best friends before later going astray from his original morals.
I think you've forgotten James potter in this list as he was a bully and picked on Snape during their times at Hogwarts as well as not making Peter pettigrew feel like he doesn't belong his group which led to Peter betraying them
I had this idea come up for an alternate reality version of the story while listening to this- what if Dumbledore was the real enemy, in charge of manipulating Voldemort and had remained corrupted by the dark desires from his early years? I know it would be a very different story, but it was a thought that came to my mind. Dumbledore already had a habit of manipulating and setting pieces into place on the chess board, so to speak, in order to fight Voldemort, eventually leading to his eventual and final defeat. But if he were actually in charge, and Snape wound up killing him the same way… I dunno… Just an intriguing thought.
There are kind slyrherins- Horace Slughorn There are twisted gryffindor-Peter Pettegrew There are brave hufflepuff-Nymphadora Tonks There are stupid ravenclaw- Gilderoy Lockhart 🤣🤣
@@morrisberben3132 I m actually curious why sorting hat put him in ravenclaw. I agree he was not foolish, but he certainly wasn't wise, on the other hand he was cunning!!! and cunningness is a slytherin trait!! He certainly brought out more of slytherin traits (Cunningness, being opportunistic, striving to be successfull but not caring about the cost people paid, ambitious (though he lacked discipline),a greed for being famous etc.)
The whole Maffia is a thoroughly Hufflepuff idea, cemented together by loyalty. If Hufflepuffs decide to go evil, they will do it together and will have each other's back no matter what. It's as frightening as it can get.
I think Hagrid’s claim is a bit misunderstood and even misconstrued a little bit. He’s not saying all Slytherins are bad, just that anyone who turned bad usually tended to come from that house. And he’s not entirely wrong. Remember, he said this in the philosopher’s stone, so he wasn’t aware of how evil the likes of Pettigrew, or Quirrell were at that point. Like Harry, I think he eventually began to slowly learn that it wasn’t just Slytherin house producing evil witches and wizards.
He is definitely! He manipulated Snape’s feelings for Lily to protect a boy that he knew he was raising to basically be slaughtered. Plus Dumbledore raised 2 generations of child soldiers.
@@khalednemer1345 he did though!!! It’s in the books! Even Snape calls him out on it!!! “If you loved Lily Evans if you truly loved her then your way forward is clear” and “help me protect Lily’s son” Dumbledore says a then years later after Dumbledores tells Snape Harry must die Snape says “You have used me I have spied for you and lied for you and put myself in mortal danger for you everything was supposed to keep Lily Potter’s son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter!”
Maybe did dumbeldore not abanded the idea fot the greater good but he starten see it on other way: He stopt grindelwald He began the orde of the feniks He teach harry the richt tools for killing voldemort He give up his livefor defiting voldemort Al in the name of the greater good
James Potter Griffendoor Also a bully Drove Snape to consider being a deatheater Serius even tells Snape like they use to in the 3rd book "Run along and play with your potion sets" Not realizing that actually made him not only smart and powerful, but caused the identity that Voldamort adored in Snape "The Half-Blood Prince" he forsook his muggle attachments in he title
Hagrid said that there is not a witch or wizard who went bad that wasn’t in Slytherin he means that not all Slytherins are bad but from what he knew at the time was that all the bad witch’s and wizards were Slytherin
This makes me wonder if Dumbledore would've been scarier than Voldemort of he became a dark lord. I mean he was a good wizard and even Voldemort was afraid of him.
If Dumbledore had joined Grindelwald the entire wizarding world combined wouldn’t have been able to stop them. They would reck any opponent they face and unlike Voldemort who could be defeated by love they wouldn’t have a weakness.
@@TheAlphatitan Interesting point which makes me think. Just a small note, I feel that Voldemort was defeated more by his own arrogance rather than the power of love, even though JKR/Dumbledore often phrased it that way. But I guess they're partially connected though, as Voldemort was arrogant of the power of love, the power of Lily's enchantment.
Unchecked ambition is its own weakness, and it lead to the fall of the friendship between Grindevald and Dumbledore. Dumbledore was never evil and sooner or later would have realized that his friend is leading him on the wrong path. Voldemort on the other hand was evil from the start and was conceived in deception and misuse of magic. He also grew up knowing no love and no friendship. Albus, for all his foolishness as a young man loved his family and his sister. Even his relationship with Grindevald was based on equality and even friendship, unlike Voldemort's relationships which were based on dominance, fear, usefulness and pure-blood theories. Voldemort humiliated and abused most, if not all of his followers, even when they were loyal to him and was ruthless in his pursuit of dominance.
@@evamasters5028 this is a fan what if scenarios where Dumbledore, like Grindelwald believes he is a hero who is uniting humankind and bringing real equality since it’s unfair how wizards have to live in secrecy and hiding. His love for his sister would actually propel him further as his sister was a victim of wizards being attacked by muggles. And not to mention this ruined his father’s and mother’s life which also led to Dumbledore facing both grievances and other problems.
I’m honestly surprised lockharts hair never fell off every time a spell hit him when he was teaching during Harry’s second years because I’m pretty sure it was just a wig
Erm, have to point out that the phrase 'There wasn't a single witch or wizard that went bad that wasn't in Slytherin', even if it weren't true, doesn't in itself equal that 'All Slytherins are bad'. Reminds me of those intelligence tests where they go like 'If all Gibbers are Floobers, and all Floobers are Cozers, then all Cozers are definitely Gibbers', which wouldn't necessarily be true, so you'd mark it as 'no'.
It's no secret to my family and some of my friends that I can be extremely pessimistic, but I'm also a good listener and give some pretty darn good hugs. Just don't ask me for relationship advice. (Speaking as a Slytherin)
video recommendation: characters who you think were sorted in the wrong house. i'll start: ron - hufflepuff the weasley twins - slytherin sirius - slytherin lily - ravenclaw
Through way more than Potter, Dumbledore was seeking atonement... he always tried to help the good (James and Lily, Lupin, Snape), give second chances (Hagrid, Winky and Dobby) and help people avoid mistakes (Draco Malfoy, Ron Wisley, Harry).
A questionable one maybe, and I never say the play, but I've come to understand that in the Cursed Child an alternate time line was created in which Cedric was never killed by Pettigrew and turned into a Death Eater. Cedric was in fact a Hufflepuff. Of course, this was all an alternate time line, so we could indeed leave that one out. Now one who's "crime" may be too small for an actual mention in this video, but Marietta Edgecombe could still be one to note. I believe she was a Ravenclaw, and she betrayed Dumbledore's Army to Dolores Umbridge, which huge consequences. She got herself punished for that due to Hermione's jinx putting the word "sneak" on her forehead. One that could just be as debatable as Barthy Crouch Jr. would be Rita Skeeter. She is definitely a very questionable person who does anything to publish a good story, not really caring about truth and people's reputations. There are some implications she would be a Slytherin, as she was friendly with students from Slytherin house, but then again, considering those were the ones that would do anything to make Harry's life into Hell and doing that through a reporter like her, was a perfect way to do so, so that doesn't really mean she was a Slytherin. It's not even confirmed she actually attended to Hogwarts, but since nearly all British and Irish Witches and Wizards were trained there, it's very likely she went there too.
But the girl in ravenclaw, the one that snitched on the DA, first of all is a kid, second of all properly potions involved and torture. It is not fair to say she is evil.
Can you make a video on how Barty Crouch junior could keep it secret from his father that he was a death eater. And also his mom of course because she was the one to care for the boy while his father just was going to work all day long. What did he say to them when he was going out for a death eater thing? And i think im right when im saying that he didnt have a job. So what excuses did he have? I love your videos. ❤️
I think Senior was too busy focusing on his career to pay any attention to what Junior was doing. So it wouldn't have been difficult for Junior to hide his true nature from his father.
While I do agree with the younger Dumbledore part, I want to say that he wasn't exactly a good person as he grew older either. He raised 2 generations of child soldiers to fight in wars with him. He allowed Sirius to go to jail even though he knew Sirius was innocent. He had the invisibility cloak the night Lily and James we're murdered. He raised Harry like a lamb to the slaughter. He lied and withheld useful information. He also hired Lockhart even though Dumbledore knew he was a fraud and allowed the kids to be taught by a fake. He was not a good person at any age. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting but still.
As you can tell even grifindor Hufflepuff raven claw have there Share of bad apples and so while yes Slytherin gets most of the flak for having bad wizards I think the other houses are two stereotypical and ignorant that there houses are better and have no bad wizards and alot of good slytherins came out of that house and did great for the world but like I said every place that has good intentions has a bad apple or two just saying that the other houses are ignorant in there ways but if they accepted that even there houses have a few bad apples in the basket then I think everyone could get along and no buddy is perfect so just by being the best person your ever gonna be is your honest self will be the best thing anyone asks for!
Yeah but most evil and pure blood suprrmacists came from slytherin even tho each house had their bad apples, but hogwarts is at fault for not trying to fix this
Okay so I haven’t seen your other video but Hagrid actually doesn’t say that all Slytherins become evil, he just says that all evil wizards were from Slytherin. Still untrue, but it seems like you misunderstood that quote.
It was out of character for McGonogall to lock up all the slytherins in the dungeon during the final battle Most of them were not aligned with Voldemort
How do you know most of them. It was mostly the bloody rascal Slytherins who joined Tom and hated Harry. Also they refused to fight against Voldemort. People should be glad she didn't Avada Kedavra to all those Snakes.
I took Hagrid's quote to not mean that all Slytherin were evil, but that all the known evil wizards had gone through that house. Now, this video definitely disproves that theory. I was just wondering this question, so really appreciate this vid. Can't believe I didn't remember Pettigrew. I would think each house has an appeal for good and evil, but some would trend in a certain way. Even Gryffindor can have an appeal for egocentric people, like James Potter, who definitely had some issues when he was young. I never read the books, but I'm guessing they started out more reductive with the houses, when they were more of children's stories, then implemented nuance as they moved along.
@@mindyschocolate hahahahah youre so funny. Pettigrew was in Gryffindor I am 100% certain. You know James Sirius Remus and Peter were Marauders and they have hanged out together a lot. On Pottermore it says he was a Gryffindor. Pottermore or rather Wizarding World features that Pettigrew was in Gryffindor.
I believe that Dumbledore has always been evil even at his older ages, he sided by the good wizards and fought against Voldemort. I am not saying he sided by Voldemort or the death eaters but from the day Harry Potter arrived at Hogwarts Dumbledore had the plan to have Harry die, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. He clearly did not trust Harry to do the right thing and let Voldemort kill him eliminating his last Horcrux. I know it may be a hot take but it’s something I have always believed.
Maybe the reason why people think Slytherin is bad is because the books are written from Harry's perspective and he didn't exactly have a good experience with Slytherin and didn't like the house
Before watching the rest of this video. I just want to point out that Hagrid never said there weren't good wizards that came from Slytherin. He only said that all the bad ones were from Slytherin.
I honestly think that Wormtail and Lockhearth should be sorted in Slytherin. Not because they were bad or anything, but let's think about it. Lockhearth: He was always very ambitious and ambition is something all Slytherins have and are putting it as their priority. Slytherins also put themselfs before others. That's exactly how I found Lockhearth to be. Plus I never realy found him smarter than average to be honest. Wormtail: He always wanted to be on a good side of those with power. Why is that? So he can be in the best position possible. That didn't happen, but he tried to achive that. He also never realy showed much bravery. Does the sorting hat make mistakes? 🤔
Excluding all the dark wizards from Durmstrang I can think of at least 3 bad Gryffindors. Peter Pettigrew, traitor, murderer, death eater. James Potter, bully. Albus Dumbledore, manipulator, slaveowner, failed dictator. I don't know what house he was in at Hogwarts but there's also Mundungus Fletcher, thief and swindler. And Gilderoy Lockhart, impostor, fraud, cheat.
Thanks for watching folks! Did I miss anyone?
dunno
You missed Hagrid. He opened the Chamber of Secrets and was in Nockturn Alley starting CoS. I don’t know, not sure Tom Riddle was the one who opened the chamber after all.
ETA: Jesus Christ it was a joke comment. You don’t need to be a fan to know Tom Riddle opened the chamber. I leave you all with Voldemort’s famous words: “yer a wizard, Hairy”
Did Greyback eever attend Hogwarts? If not, him!
@@angelrivera6422 he did NOT open the chamber of secrets. And just because he was in NA doesn’t make him bad.
Excellent as ever, HP Theory what is that piece your playing in the background. Turned on a sound system it makes one very emotional.
Lockhart not evil? Questionable. He deliberately destroyed the minds and identities of several people for his own personal gain, and was willing to do the same to two children whilst leaving Ginny to die. All without any apparent remorse.
Exactly! Lockhart was evil. People ended up brain dead in St Mungos because of him
I wonder if it was confirmed that he completely obliviated everyone? Or did he only erase those specific memories? That does make a shade of a difference, though it is still despicable from the start, and the moment he wanted to abandon Ginny, he tipped over to evil.
He didn’t destroy any minds or identities he “simply” made people forget about certain things they’d done, he didn’t go that far (this is not technically specified but I really don’t see Lockhart going that far; he’s not that wicked. He is despicable tho, don’t get me wrong
@@vosman86 no one that I know of ended up in St Mungo’s because of him
@@viktoriavadon2222 yeah he did abandon Ginny, but no one knew she was alive, the painting said “her SKELETON will lie”. He didn’t want to risk his life to retrieve a corpse that might dirty his hair
Wouldn't it be awesome if we had some of Harry's classmates were from Slytherin who were kind and friendly? The thing I like most about the Cursed Child is Albus getting sorted into Slytherin and having a self discovery.
Yep but maybe Draco would have treathened them to not be kind to Harry. Would not have suprised me. Draco would just have done a Draco Malfoy if he did so LOL😂 and yes true, i think the reason why Albus was in slytherin was because if he was in griffindoor it would not have been anything unnatural about the book and that is kind of the point with the Harry Potter Franchise that it is happening unnatural things. But that is also the whole definition of a good book😂
Even if they weren't outright nice, surely there would be a lot of Slytherins who couldn't stand Malfoy? He treats nearly everyone like crap, and it would be his fellow Syltherins who had to spend the most time with him. Consider Lucius effectively buying Malfoy the position of Slytherin seaker - that means there's at least one and probably more aspiring seakers in Slytherin house who got upstaged by some swagering snot-nosed little brat who's dad happened to be richer than theirs. It would make a lot of sense for at least a few Slytherin kids to see Harry as their enemy's enemy at the very least
The thing that I like the most about the Cursed Child is that I finished it so I dont need to read it again
Maybe Ginny could have been a Slytherin? She certainly has the traits of one
Cursed Child was written by Thorne and Tiffany who pretty much ruined the story. It was written based on Rowling's story.
Merlin was a slytherin and he was one of if not the most loyal and powerful wizard of all time
oh wow I never even thought of that!
No cedric diggory is the most loyal
Though loyalty doesn't always mean good, Merlin has gone on record to say the wizarding world should help muggles and even did so during his time.
Well a Slytherin is ambitious before anything, and ambition can be a heroic trait if it's used right.
Kinda like how sith crave power, but don't necessarily have to do evil deeds
@@denizkenger52 Not true Meriln was as powerful as Dumbledore and Voldemort maybe even more so he was famous hence the Merlins beard quote if he were just a random guy people wouldnt be saying his name in modern times and also dont forget the order of Merlin which he was the head and creator of he was most certainly one of if not the most powerful wizard of all time
your house does not determine if you're a bad or good witch or wizard...it's like Sirius said, "We all have good and bad in us. It's what we do."
@SIRIUS BLACK oh my god Sirius,
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU.....
@SIRIUS BLACK YES
Ikr I agree
What matters is the path we chose to take.
Sirius was Scorpio but he was sorted în Gryffindor
I think Hagrid's comment of "all bad wizards came from Slytherin" is more an expression of his own bias and hatred towards the house, after what happened to him. It was their prefect that framed him for a murder and caused him to be expelled. And seeing how Hagrid was on first name terms with Tom, I do believe at the time Hagrid was pretty close to him, despite coming from a different house... Such a betrayal does leave scars.
With Crouch Jr., I do find it likely that he was a Ravenclaw, rather than Slytherin, due to his high emphasis on intelligence and his general lack of ambition. He wants to serve Voldemort but there is little to nothing hinting that he does so out of belief for the Pure-Blood Cause or for a particular role of power in the group. He sees in Voldemort a kindred spirit, with similar backgrounds and he only wants the approval of his master...
And with Dumbledore, I would argue he never abandoned his attitude of: for the greater good. Dumbledore still does some very questionable things through his life, sacrifice people and prepare others to make sacrifices. He still operates on the tenants for the Greater Good, going even so far of sacrificing his own life "for the Greater Good". The Wizarding community has just been fortunate that the Greater Good has been redefined to conserve the Wizarding world as it is and stop Dark Lords as Grindelwald and Voldemort... Dumbledore isn't an evil character but certainly a dark one with a lot of grey shades in his moral system.
Supercarlinbrothers did a theory video on the last paragraph there and it's one of the most (if not the most) elaborate theories I've seen for any fandom, it's called dumbledore's big plan and you would check it out
@@hlhlhlhlhl8064 I shall, I have seen a several of their theories (I believe I'm even subscribed) and though I don't always agree with their theories, sometimes believe they are dead wrong on certain things, they often have interesting ideas.
Well, he isn't exactly wrong either.
Wow You have summarised precisely what I was thinking regarding Hagrid & Dumbledore.
If Barty Crouch Jr. was in Slytherin, Crouch senior would've freaked out
Exactly, given Senior's distain for the dark arts and anyone associated with it. He especially didn't want anyone associating him with the dark arts. If his son had be sorted in Slytherin, the house most associated with the dark arts, Senior would have disowned Junior the moment he heard.
There is also factor of blood purity associated with Slytherin and since Crouch was one of the names of The Sacred 28, they might have both went there
@@ladystarlight4717 I don’t think so, the hat does take into count your choice and if crouch hated slytherin so much then I don’t think he would’ve been one. More likely he was a ravenclaw and his son was also probably a ravenclaw cause crouch would’ve disowned him if he had been a slytherin
But the thing is crouch jr. was in Slytherin. But crouch sr. was also a Slytherin (bc he was extremely ambitious and became minister in a rapid amount of time compared to others) which was why he didn’t freak out. (Search it up if you need to)
@@editinqppl you talking about Cornelius Fudge over there? Cause Barty Crouch never became minister, he wanted to but his being accused lost him the chance. He hated Slytherin and most people do believe that his son was a Ravenclaw. Also I don’t recall him showing ambition he was more of a jerk whose intelligent kinda like his son.
When Hagrid said “There ain’t no wizards who went bad who weren’t in Slytherin,” Sirius Black was thought to have gone bad and he was in Gryffindor.
as soon as i started reading prisoner of azkaban, that was what i was thinking of
@@grizzly_izzy Yeah hagrid is just prejudiced against Slytherin
@Ezra O'Connor Exactly Hagrid hates Slytherin. Probably because of tom riddle
@Ezra O'Connor NOBODY knew he was framed. Otherwise Hagrid would have told Dumbledore. And if Dumbledore would have believed in Sirius' innocence at this point of time I can very much assure you that Sirius would not have gone to Azkaban. Full stop.
@@grizzly_izzy Funny detail, Hagrid and Black also had in common that they both have been in Azkaban for a crime somebody else committed (In Black's case the true culprit was Pettigrew and in Hagrid's case Voldemort). Although I need to re-read if Hagrid had been in Azkaban when he made that statement and was released thanks to Dumbledore, or if Dumbledore could prevent Hagrid being sent to Azkaban. In The Chamber of Secrets Hagrid actually went to Azkaban, and was released once Harry managed to clear up all mysteries, vindicating Hagrid in the process.
Also, at the time that Hagrid said that there weren't any bad wizards who weren't in Slytherin, Sirius was believed to be evil. However, he was in Gryffindor. We know now that he wasn't evil, but he was believed to be back then.
Another Video Suggestion....I feel that Argus Filch deserves a video of his own......Could you do a video about him,his relationship with Mrs Norris,His living quarters and office at Hogwarts and his decision to pursue a KwikSpell course...and so on?
Filch's relationship with Mrs Norris was probably similar to Data's relationship with Spot
Love your vids. All the editing and your voice are perfect for each other. Very cohesive style of videos in my opinion
I don't know man, seems kinda guy to me
Just when you think a character is good/bad, you receive a piece of information that makes you think again. That's one of my favorite things about HP. Thanks for showing, again, that all is not black and white in the wizarding world, Hogwarts Houses included.
cough cough umbridge
Here ya go:
1:25 : Peter Pettigrew
2:38 : Quirinus Quirrel (Professor Quirrel)
4:35 : Gilderoy Lockhart (Professor Lockhart)
6:24 : Bartemius Crouch Jr.
7:36 : Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore (young Professor Dumbledore)
I think Hagrid's misinterpreted Here. We know now that he was wrong in his statement. But he certainly didn't say that all Slytherins are evil. Merely that all wizards who went bad came from Slytherin house. That doesn't mean all of them.
even at the time he said it, he was wrong. at the time most of the wizarding world thought that Sirius (a Gryffindor, granted with a long family of Slytherins) was bad.
@@JuanMataCFC Yes I know. It was a bit of praise to the maker of the video.
@@denizkenger52 Yes I know. I've known it all the time. I wrote "we know now..." as a nice gesture towards the narrator. To be polite. And Hagrid still didn't say that all Slytherins are bad.

Thank you for standing up for us in Slytherin House. We appreciate it.
Slytherin is portrayed bad because of Salazar Slytherin himself.... But in my mind, all houses are equal🙂🙂😉😁
Don’t worry us hufflepuffs will defend you as well!
Could you make a video of what if Dumbledore hadn’t turned good? Like what if he actually left with Grindelwald and the two of them took over the world. I don’t think they would’ve been stoppable especially with the elder wand.
I always thought the books made clear raven laws couldn’t always follow good or follow bad, they just chose the side most advantageous to them
As a member of Slytherin House I thank you for this video. I've been telling these kinds of things to my Ravenclaw Sister, and our Griffyndor Nieces for years. Also, in the last book there was reference to many Slytherins students from Hogwarts fighting for Harry. I was miffed when they changed that in the last movie.
I m actually curious why sorting hat put Lockhart in ravenclaw. He certainly wasn't wise, on the other hand he was cunning!!! and cunningness is a slytherin trait!! He certainly brought out more of slytherin traits (Cunningness, being opportunistic, striving to be successfull but not caring about the cost people paid, ambitious (though he lacked discipline),a greed for being famous etc.) He also has a knack for saving his own ass!!! Hptheory pls make a video on this topic
I reckon Gilderoy was actually a hatstall. The sorting hat couldn't choose between Slytherin and Ravenclaw for Gilderoy and finally decided Ravenclaw for some reason.
Because I reckon the sorting hat puts you in the house whose traits you value, not that you embody. Gilderoy valued talent and intelligence, even if he wasn't either.
@@David_636 very plausible answer
But he did manage to get away with all the things he did & fool many people, I guess that counts as cleverness.
I think he was an extremely clever boy and that's why he was sorted into Ravenclaw, but he'd definitely fit into Slytherin
Dumbledore said once to Snape that letting the sorting hat choosing the houses when kids are 11 is probably wrong as the hat made some mistakes (in shorts, that's what he was saying) leaving Snape speechless. Basically, Dumbledore was complimenting Snape for his bravery. I wouldn't consider Dumbledore evil tho. He never killed anyone, not intentionally, as his sister died because of a duel between him and Grindelwald. It's true that he wanted to rule among the Muggles, but it's also true that when he was young his world was different. Muggles were considered inferior because they didn't have any power, while wizards and witches, especially if powerful, were thought to be superior as they could teach or "guide" muggles and everyone else. If I have to judge Dumbledore with a world I would say he was a fool. And he knew that, he even said that to Harry.
Exactly ! At age 11 you barely discover the world around you ! At age 15-16 you start to develop traits you actually value
HPT: See, evil people can come from all houses!
Hufflepuffs: -_-
Hufflepuffs :we don’t that here
Cedric from the alternate timeline in Cursed child, that is the closest we got
I wonder if Peter's malformality exist because of over breeding pure blood lines
Actually... where was it confirmed Pettogrew was purebred? Because from what I remember he was a half blood...
It could just be that his animagus form was rubbing off him after spending 12 full years as a rat.
I think his balding happened when he was anxious that Sirius escaped and is coming to hunt him down (I remember mentions of Scabbers balding, that Ron attributed to Crookshanks terrorizing him). But there may be something to it!
Could you please do a video about all the magical devices in the Harry Potter Universe?

You forgot about young James Potter. Just like Dumbledore, he did some bad things in his younger years like bullying Snape
True, but the magnitude of what James did wasn't really comparable. Dumbledore wanted to become a dictator ruling over muggles, James was just a bully.
@@HarryPotterTheory That’s true. I guess I was just thinking of how much James actually affected Snape as a whole and how he made his time miserable at Hogwarts. Btw thanks for replying!
Snape's ultimate downfall was choosing to become a death-eater. Harry was bullied ever since he was sent to the Durseys but he never chose the dark side, even though he was carrying a Voldemort's horcrox. Of course, James made a number of bad decisions and mistakes with Snape, but none of them of the magnitude of Snape's colossal mistake to become a death eater. So ironic that by revealing the prophecy to Voldemort, he started the chain of events that would lead to the death of Lily Potter. But just like Snape redeems himself after that, so did James, Dumbledore and many others (Regulus Black, Draco). The real bad ones never really choose good (Voldemort, Bellatrix, Lockheart, Barty Crouch Junior, Greyback, Umbridge).
@ Deniz Kenger: well, Harry was bullied by the Dursleys and friendless for as long as he remembered himself and he never became a bully. And that in spite of him being a host for Voldemort's horcrux. Of course James and his friends were wrong to bully Snape, but Snape still had a choice. And he made the wrong one. Some people always blame circumstances... the truth is our choices are what determines who we are and not the circumstances in our lives. Eventually Snape realized that. He relized his mistake and wanted to atone for inadvertently having caused the death of the only person he loved.
@@HarryPotterTheory James and Serious verbally attacked Snape during their first meeting on the Hogwarts' Express and the aggression increased from there. Not saying James nor Serious are evil. I liked them a lot as adults, but I found their behavior as young men to be troubling, especially because it pushed Snape towards the dark side. I think a video exploring whether or not James and his friends sewed some seeds of evil for the future would be a worthwhile video. Also, I think Rowling made a lot of excuses for them and I'm still not quite sure why Lily chose James. Seems like a trope imho.
Theory: What would have happened if Ariana Dumbledore didn't die?
@M. H. Badruddoza Zia The other way around. Tom Riddle would have joined Dumbledore.

@@dhananjay33 He was young at that time and people do foolish things in their youth.
@@seth9655 yeah but saying someone evil bcz of their gullibility is not completely write.... He was wrong then ofc and he also admitted it
@M. H. Badruddoza Zia ?
Good catch on young Dumbledore. I think that'd make a facinating What If story. What if Ariana hadn't died, would Dumbledore have joined Grindlewald? Ultimately, I think Grindlewald's measures would've driven Dumbledore off naturally and events would progress as they did in our own timeline, however several years delayed. Perhaps Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts when a young Tom Riddle attended leading to a dramaticly faster rise to power. Or the Dumbledore tempered Grindlewald takes even longer to break and has to deal with a young upstart challenger before even putting his plans into full motion. Or the pair team up with the ministry to defeat Voldemort only to overthrow it from the inside.
Interesting ideas...
Thanks! I actually made a note to make that video while I was making this one.
Honestly I think Grindelwald would have been a footnote in Wizarding history. It wouldn't have taken long for Dumbledore to sour on Grindelwald's methods. Dumbledore would have tried to talk Grindelwald down at first but once he realized that wasn't going to work he would a stop to Grindelwald and his plans. The only reason this didn't happen when Ariana died was because they were only in the planning stages of their scheme. I don't think Dumbledore ever thought Grindelwald would carry out their plan alone.
I agree. Dumbledore had a good moral compass and a very intelligent mind. He may have been charmed by Grindevald for a while, but if not the death of Ariana, another death or injury would have been the "wake up call". The mistakes of his youth is what gives depth and conviction of Dumbledore's character. As well as compassion and desire to give people and magical beings a second chance. To quote Hagrid "Great man, Dumbledore. "
Dumbledore and Grindelwald would have fakked Voldy.
As upto Voldys time, they would have rulers of Muggle and Magical world.
The Ministry as well as Schools around the World would have been under them.
Dumbledore could read minds and knew Tommy did release that Cobra from his Ancestors gaming room as he was also the Heir of Synthetics, and would have straight send to Azkaban.
So hagrid said that ("There's not one witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin")
But it isn't even like you can give him credit for not knowing about peter pettigrew because he and everyone else thought Sirius was bad and a strong supporter of Voldemort. He was already in Azkaban at the time and they knew Sirius was in Gryffindor... I'll give him some slack on all the others because they weren't KNOWN to be evil at the time he said it, but its always confused me that he thought Sirius was guilty and still said that.

A good argument could be made that Dumbledore NEVER became good but was always trying to control everything, including the wizarding world - without getting his hands obviously dirty most of the time. He blackmailed other wizards, such as Snape, into doing his bidding.
From the Deathly Hollows book:
Dumbledore opened his eyes. Snape looked horrified.
“You have kept him alive so that he can die at the right moment?”
“Don’t be shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die?”
“Lately, only those whom I could not save,” said Snape. He stood up. “You have used me.”
“Meaning?”
“I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter’s son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter -”
Dumbledore is stealth evil embodied, making sure others wind up in Azkaban - because those who have evidence that would put him there are those who he has power to put into Azkaban himself.
So Hufflepuff is the only house that has no bad wizards or witches canonically?
Sounds about right.
Unless we count the garbage that is The Cursed Child to be cannon, in which case Cedric Diggory. He was so butthurt over losing the Triwizard tournament in that story that be became a Death Eater for some reason.
@@alexcrazyart6522 Oh shoot, I forgot about that! You're absolutely right! Yeah, there were parts of The Cursed Child I enjoyed like the friendship between Scorpius and Albus, which I thought was sweet and had a lot of character development potential for both the old and new protagonists. But Cedric Diggory becoming a Death Eater in an alternate timeline? I thought that was way out of character for him. Plus Delphine's existence was weird too since there was no hint whatsoever of Bellatrix being pregnant let alone giving birth while she was an active Death Eater. It was a bit much.

I am a hufflepuff and also a fan
I have a question: Who owns Hogwarts? As far as I understand, it isn't a public school, it is private, but, who owns it? The Scholar Council? The Headmaster?
Whoever the Founders heirs were.
Okay, so just a quick point - Hagrid's statement (which Ron made in the movie) never implied ALL Slytherins were bad. It doesn't say "Right, you're sorted into Slytherin at 11 years old - you're destined to turn to the Dark Arts. There's no hope of you taking a good path." It is simply a statement that Slytherin is renowned for producing Dark wizards and that any wizard who ever went bad was in Slytherin. The statement was made in the context of Hagrid explaining the different school houses to Harry after his first meeting with Malfoy in the robes shop. Hagrid says "Everyone says Hufflepuffs are a bunch of duffers but -" he never gets to finish that sentence because Harry cuts him off and says "I bet I'm in Hufflepuff." Hagrid then explains "Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin," and then makes the statement in question.
The statement is of course a fallacy and wrong as this video proves. Even at this stage of the story before we find out about Peter Pettigrew (Gryffindor), Hagrid knows it to be false - he believes at this point in the story (although we don't find out until the 3rd book) that Sirius betrayed Lily and James to Voldemort (and if we concede that he didn't know about the Secret Keeper arrangement, he still believes that Sirius murdered Pettigrew and 12 muggles. He knows Sirius was in Gryffindor and best friends with James, Lily, Remus and Peter). So a pretty strange statement to make.
On a side-note, I think I know why Slytherin is so adept at producing Dark wizards. First is the blood purity attitude of the house - now, simply because Salazar Slytherin was a blood purist and prized blood purity in his students, that doesn't mean you had to be a card carrying member of the pureblood supremacy club to enter the club. It also didn't mean you had to be a pureblood. It's implied in the last book that there are very rare instances where muggleborns are placed in Slytherin. Scabior, one of the snatchers that captures the trio and takes them to Malfoy Manor says "You don't find many mudblood Slytherins." The letter 'M' in front of the word 'any' is telling here. But even being a pureblood supremacists doesn't mean you'll automatically take the Voldemort/Death Eater route - Narcissa was never a marked Death Eater, but believed in blood purity. None of the Blacks except Regulus were Death Eaters, but quite clearly believed in blood purity as demonstrated by Sirius's mother's portrait. So whilst not everyone who holds blood supremacist views turns "bad", it is still one of the triggers. I think it is more to do with the values of the different houses.
Gryffindor - Brave, nerve, chivalry.
Bravery and nerve are more often than not used for standing up against injustice. More often than not, they are attributes used for good. However, it can occasionally be used for bad. Example - German soldiers in WWII who genuinely believed in the Nazi cause would be the HP equivalents of non-marked supporters of Voldemort who still fought in battle for Voldemort (like Greyback). You couldn't consider them "good" because they sincerely and genuinely believed in a cause that resulted in a genocide. But to put their life on the line in battle for that belief takes bravery and nerve.
Ravenclaw - intelligence, learning, wisdom and wit. These can be used both ways and it depends on the values of the person outside of these. These are more "ability" based values rather than "choices" based values like Gryffindor's. So as Dumbledore says "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices." We see most use their intelligence and wisdom for good, but you get the odd narcissist like Lockhart who uses their intelligence (in his case of memory charms) for malicious purposes.
Hufflepuff - hard work, patience, justice and loyalty. These are choices based values and are the least likely to be used in a bad way. This makes Hufflepuff the least likely to turn out a dark wizard. An iconic Hufflepuff line which is one of my favourite lines of the series which stems from the loyalty and justice values is "What if we want to stay and fight?!" from Ernie Macmillan when McGonagall is organising the evacuation of the castle before the battle of Hogwarts. McGonagall has said nothing at this point about over-age students being allowed to stay. So Ernie, out of a sense of loyalty to Harry, to Dumbledore's Army, to Dumbledore and a sense of justice takes it upon himself to ask, quite forcefully, about students who choose to being allowed to stay and fight against the injustice that Voldemort was perpetrating.
Slytherin - ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness.
These are values that can be used both ways like the other houses, but are the most easily adaptable for malicious purposes. They can certainly be used for good. Ambitious can simply mean having the attitude that if you shoot for the moon, you'll land somewhere among the stars. That can be used in relation to academics and it can be used in relation to the sort of career you want. But we also see this value in Umbridge (who was in Slytherin). She wanted power and she was prepared to do whatever it took to get it - including persecuting innocent people and killing 2 15 year old child (at the time that she sent the dementors after Harry and Dudley to Kiss them, she did not know that Harry could produce a patronus. She didn't want to just expel Harry, she wanted to permanently silence him). We also see this in Percy who was prepared to turn his back on his family for power. Cunning can also be used for good - going outside of Harry Potter, we see this on display in Matilda where she is cunning enough to come up with and execute a plan to get rid of the Truchbull who was terrorising the school. As well as being able to get back at her father. Leadership can be used for good and bad. Voldemort is an example of it being used for bad, whereas Harry is an example of it being used for good. Resourcefulness can also be used for good and bad, but it is very useful when used for bad. We see it used for good when the Trio is on the run, but we see it used for bad when the Trio is captured and Bellatrix is resourceful enough to use her knife when she had no wand to threaten to slit Harmione throat to stop the boys duelling.
So overall I think it comes down to values. But Slytherin is not inherently evil.

I believe in the book Hagrid says this line. But the movie was Ron.

I would not have left out older Dumbledore. He did intentionally use Harry as a means to destroy Voldemort. Though the end is for a good cause, the action is at the very least questionable, if Snape's reaction is anything to go by. It was all for "the greater good" after all.
I disagree. Albus knew that this was the path for Harry, the only way he could fulfill the prophecy. And Dumbledore sacrificed himself for that cause. At the end of it all, Harry had no choice but to sacrifice himself. So did his parents, Sirius, Tonks and Lupin, Snape and countless others.
Dumbledore did awful things to achieve his own goals, lucky the most of his goals where on the side of good but that does not make him good himself.
@@129das Yes it does. Doing something for the greater good is good, if the end result outweights the sacrifices that were made to achieve it. Dumbledore was defenitely a good person and did what was right.
Is a soldier bad if he defends his country by killing his enemies? No, because he’s doing it for the greater good.
@@oliverplougmand2275 that’s actually a really good point
Imagine a malevolent Dumbledore, though. The entire Wizarding world would probably screwed. The guy would have been unstoppable if he wanted to. Albus's worst enemy is his vanity (causing him to wear the Gaunt ring).
I've always looked at it like this; Slytherins as a whole are not inherently evil, most aren't. However those with evil in their nature who happen to attend Hogwarts, are typically drawn to Slytherin house because of what it represents and offers. Similarly though, the qualities of the other houses exaggerated to a negative degree certainly leave room for bad wizards/witches.
Though it is not confirmed, I truly believed that Barty Crouch Jr is a Ravenclaw
He was
the quote from Hagrid "there's not a single witch/wizard who went bad who wasn't from Slytherin" is often misinterpreted to mean that all Slytherins are bad, but what he actually meant was that all Dark wizards came from Slytherin. however we know that even this statement isn't true, because of Wormtail being a Gryffindor. but to be fair to Hagrid, at the time he made that quote most of the wizarding world thought Wormtail was a good person (and was dead), but even if we take this into account his statement still isn't true because Sirius (who everyone thought was bad at the time) was also a Gryffindor.
either way, there is a theory out there that Hagrid was specifically instructed to tell Harry that, not because it was true, but to dissuade Harry from wanting to be Sorted into Slytherin himself. apparently it was all part of an elaborate plan Dumbledore had for Harry which started as soon as he survived Voldemort's attempt to kill him when he was 1yo.
I don't think Dumbledore should be included because even though he did wrong things it was because of his immatureness/young age and because of his love for his best friend (grindawald) or because he was in the influence of grindawald
He wasn't evil......just my opinion
He didn't check on Harry while Harry was at the Dursleys, brushed off Harry's request to stay at school(how many children want to stay at school that has a healthy relationship to their family), and relied on students to figure out who was the culprit. He deserves it.
@@Cat-kj1be no he doesn't, because I'm sure you'll know about Lily's love protection over Harry which she gave him before she died, and than love protection is even stronger when he is around the same blood of her mother's and I'm also sure u atleast know than Mrs.Dursley (Petunia) is Lily's sister and Harry's aunt so she has the same blood as Lily's, that's why Dumbledore left Harry at the Dursley, to protect him, even if they harassed him, he'll atleast not die in the hand's of voldemort, or else he considered leaving Harry to Sirius before Sirius was acused of helping voldemort finding the Potter's

Dumbledore still operated by the phrase 'for the greater good'. However not for the bad side.
And he still made some questionable decisions.
Dumbledore helped Harry to fulfill his destiny. Unfortunately being the "chosen one" leaves very few choices for Harry. And Dumbledore sacrificed himself for Harry and the cause. Remember how he protected Harry at the Dark Lake? And later when Draco disarmed him? He knew there was no alternative. And he is the one person who contributed most to Harry's successfully killing Voldemort.

He wasn't bad, he was persuaded and influenced
Queenie is in Fantastic Beasts so she wouldn't be included in this video
@Mr Doctors13 He was curious to find out what happened to Voldemort, it makes perfect sense. Also Queenie tried to help Jacob by cooperating with the man that tried to kill them?
@Mr Doctors13 I did watch the film, three times. She wad manipulated and she isn't bad person. And this is my point. Quirrel was curious, and when he found him, he was manipulated by Voldemort. Besides, everyone has their own opinion. No matter what you say I will stand by my point. It's like arguing that hamburger tastes better than pizza. It's an opinion, and opinion can't be wrong

How was Peter Pettigrew sorted in Gryffindor even the he's the most cowardly character in the entire franchise? He fits more in slytherin given how much he liked people in power.
As cowardish as Peter was, he valued bravery a lot, the sorting hat takes into account the traits you value over the traits you have
The sorting hat sometimes sorts people in houses to test their character
@@mysteryman4252 Neville is a great example of that.
It was to show that not all bad wizards were Slytherin.
There’s a lot more to Peter Pettigrew’s character than just the ‘Gryffindoor that went bad’ which is how many people paint his personality.
Young Peter Pettigrew was still a very good friend of the Marauders, one of the main four. Peter Pettigrew did not betray his friends until his final years at Hogwarts. Before his betrayal, he was still actively participating in pranks with Remus, James & Sirius, exploring the castle and attending classes, living out a rather ‘normal’ life as a Hogwarts student.
Painting Peter Pettigrew as just an evil Gryffindoor creates a very one dimensional character which is inaccurate to his actual story. Peter did not plan on betraying his friends from the start and there is also a popular head-cannon that suggests Peter originally became a death eater to spy for Dumbledore.
Peter Pettigrew was ONCE a loyal and brave friend, dedicated to getting up to mischief with his three best friends before later going astray from his original morals.
I think you've forgotten James potter in this list as he was a bully and picked on Snape during their times at Hogwarts as well as not making Peter pettigrew feel like he doesn't belong his group which led to Peter betraying them
James and Snape were rivals, and Peter befriended James because he was popular, he ended up betraying James cause he found someone with more power
What about grindelwald.He didn’t attempt hog warts but he was not a slytherin
That’s far too obvious to count🤦♂️
I had this idea come up for an alternate reality version of the story while listening to this- what if Dumbledore was the real enemy, in charge of manipulating Voldemort and had remained corrupted by the dark desires from his early years? I know it would be a very different story, but it was a thought that came to my mind. Dumbledore already had a habit of manipulating and setting pieces into place on the chess board, so to speak, in order to fight Voldemort, eventually leading to his eventual and final defeat. But if he were actually in charge, and Snape wound up killing him the same way… I dunno… Just an intriguing thought.

There are twisted gryffindor-Peter Pettegrew

cool video. Also I didn't know about Lockhearts early life- so good to get a insight into how he developed
What about Umbridge? She's beyond evil.
She was in slytherin you numpty
She was Slytherin.
I think Hagrid’s claim is a bit misunderstood and even misconstrued a little bit. He’s not saying all Slytherins are bad, just that anyone who turned bad usually tended to come from that house. And he’s not entirely wrong. Remember, he said this in the philosopher’s stone, so he wasn’t aware of how evil the likes of Pettigrew, or Quirrell were at that point. Like Harry, I think he eventually began to slowly learn that it wasn’t just Slytherin house producing evil witches and wizards.
I dont think dumbledor is bad.

This makes me wonder if Dumbledore would've been scarier than Voldemort of he became a dark lord. I mean he was a good wizard and even Voldemort was afraid of him.
If Dumbledore had joined Grindelwald the entire wizarding world combined wouldn’t have been able to stop them. They would reck any opponent they face and unlike Voldemort who could be defeated by love they wouldn’t have a weakness.
@@TheAlphatitan Interesting point which makes me think. Just a small note, I feel that Voldemort was defeated more by his own arrogance rather than the power of love, even though JKR/Dumbledore often phrased it that way. But I guess they're partially connected though, as Voldemort was arrogant of the power of love, the power of Lily's enchantment.
Unchecked ambition is its own weakness, and it lead to the fall of the friendship between Grindevald and Dumbledore. Dumbledore was never evil and sooner or later would have realized that his friend is leading him on the wrong path. Voldemort on the other hand was evil from the start and was conceived in deception and misuse of magic. He also grew up knowing no love and no friendship. Albus, for all his foolishness as a young man loved his family and his sister. Even his relationship with Grindevald was based on equality and even friendship, unlike Voldemort's relationships which were based on dominance, fear, usefulness and pure-blood theories. Voldemort humiliated and abused most, if not all of his followers, even when they were loyal to him and was ruthless in his pursuit of dominance.
Dumbledore is more powerfull then voldemort. He is just so wise to not use all his powers
@@evamasters5028 this is a fan what if scenarios where Dumbledore, like Grindelwald believes he is a hero who is uniting humankind and bringing real equality since it’s unfair how wizards have to live in secrecy and hiding. His love for his sister would actually propel him further as his sister was a victim of wizards being attacked by muggles. And not to mention this ruined his father’s and mother’s life which also led to Dumbledore facing both grievances and other problems.
I’m honestly surprised lockharts hair never fell off every time a spell hit him when he was teaching during Harry’s second years because I’m pretty sure it was just a wig

So unbelievably good
Erm, have to point out that the phrase 'There wasn't a single witch or wizard that went bad that wasn't in Slytherin', even if it weren't true, doesn't in itself equal that 'All Slytherins are bad'.
Reminds me of those intelligence tests where they go like 'If all Gibbers are Floobers, and all Floobers are Cozers, then all Cozers are definitely Gibbers', which wouldn't necessarily be true, so you'd mark it as 'no'.
It's no secret to my family and some of my friends that I can be extremely pessimistic, but I'm also a good listener and give some pretty darn good hugs. Just don't ask me for relationship advice. (Speaking as a Slytherin)
video recommendation:
characters who you think were sorted in the wrong house.
i'll start:
ron - hufflepuff
the weasley twins - slytherin
sirius - slytherin
lily - ravenclaw
Through Potter, Dumbledore was atoning for his past sins.
Through way more than Potter, Dumbledore was seeking atonement... he always tried to help the good (James and Lily, Lupin, Snape), give second chances (Hagrid, Winky and Dobby) and help people avoid mistakes (Draco Malfoy, Ron Wisley, Harry).
A questionable one maybe, and I never say the play, but I've come to understand that in the Cursed Child an alternate time line was created in which Cedric was never killed by Pettigrew and turned into a Death Eater. Cedric was in fact a Hufflepuff. Of course, this was all an alternate time line, so we could indeed leave that one out.
Now one who's "crime" may be too small for an actual mention in this video, but Marietta Edgecombe could still be one to note. I believe she was a Ravenclaw, and she betrayed Dumbledore's Army to Dolores Umbridge, which huge consequences. She got herself punished for that due to Hermione's jinx putting the word "sneak" on her forehead.
One that could just be as debatable as Barthy Crouch Jr. would be Rita Skeeter. She is definitely a very questionable person who does anything to publish a good story, not really caring about truth and people's reputations. There are some implications she would be a Slytherin, as she was friendly with students from Slytherin house, but then again, considering those were the ones that would do anything to make Harry's life into Hell and doing that through a reporter like her, was a perfect way to do so, so that doesn't really mean she was a Slytherin. It's not even confirmed she actually attended to Hogwarts, but since nearly all British and Irish Witches and Wizards were trained there, it's very likely she went there too.
This is a list of Dark Wizards😂 Marietta surely wasn’t a dark witch.
But the girl in ravenclaw, the one that snitched on the DA, first of all is a kid, second of all properly potions involved and torture. It is not fair to say she is evil.
Can you make a video on how Barty Crouch junior could keep it secret from his father that he was a death eater. And also his mom of course because she was the one to care for the boy while his father just was going to work all day long. What did he say to them when he was going out for a death eater thing? And i think im right when im saying that he didnt have a job. So what excuses did he have? I love your videos. ❤️
I think Senior was too busy focusing on his career to pay any attention to what Junior was doing. So it wouldn't have been difficult for Junior to hide his true nature from his father.
@@AWX_Wrestlingyes but his mom
?
as a Hufflepuff, i am proud to say that i have'nt found any "bad" wizards or witches that came from my house
I think the only house without any bad wizards is Hufflepuff, if i am wrong, tell me
Depends if you want to include the Cursed Child where Cedric Diggory goes Death Eater because he lost the stupid Triwizard tournament.
@@mindyschocolate well, in reality that part never happened, so I am waiting for an answer
I'd like to know too!
@@tstefanyk6604 i know im a year late but if you dont consider the cursed child as cannon then no us hufflepuffs don't have any evil poeple
While I do agree with the younger Dumbledore part, I want to say that he wasn't exactly a good person as he grew older either. He raised 2 generations of child soldiers to fight in wars with him. He allowed Sirius to go to jail even though he knew Sirius was innocent. He had the invisibility cloak the night Lily and James we're murdered. He raised Harry like a lamb to the slaughter. He lied and withheld useful information. He also hired Lockhart even though Dumbledore knew he was a fraud and allowed the kids to be taught by a fake. He was not a good person at any age. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting but still.
As you can tell even grifindor Hufflepuff raven claw have there Share of bad apples and so while yes Slytherin gets most of the flak for having bad wizards I think the other houses are two stereotypical and ignorant that there houses are better and have no bad wizards and alot of good slytherins came out of that house and did great for the world but like I said every place that has good intentions has a bad apple or two just saying that the other houses are ignorant in there ways but if they accepted that even there houses have a few bad apples in the basket then I think everyone could get along and no buddy is perfect so just by being the best person your ever gonna be is your honest self will be the best thing anyone asks for!
Yeah but most evil and pure blood suprrmacists came from slytherin even tho each house had their bad apples, but hogwarts is at fault for not trying to fix this
Okay so I haven’t seen your other video but Hagrid actually doesn’t say that all Slytherins become evil, he just says that all evil wizards were from Slytherin. Still untrue, but it seems like you misunderstood that quote.
It was out of character for McGonogall to lock up all the slytherins in the dungeon during the final battle
Most of them were not aligned with Voldemort
They all did join him when told to escape to safety
That wasn't out of character, Slytherins suck ass and thats where they needed to be. They all stood together in wantin to turn Harry over.
Well i don't really think she had the time to sort them depending on whether or not each one was a Voldemort follower
How do you know most of them.
It was mostly the bloody rascal Slytherins who joined Tom and hated Harry.
Also they refused to fight against Voldemort.
People should be glad she didn't Avada Kedavra to all those Snakes.
@@mogambochamchokaabaap7262 That's just typical prejudice against slytheirin, but it's far from truth.
where do you get all this background information about the characters? like when they were born....?
And this is why I am proud being a Hufflepuff 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤😁
I took Hagrid's quote to not mean that all Slytherin were evil, but that all the known evil wizards had gone through that house.
Now, this video definitely disproves that theory. I was just wondering this question, so really appreciate this vid. Can't believe I didn't remember Pettigrew.
I would think each house has an appeal for good and evil, but some would trend in a certain way. Even Gryffindor can have an appeal for egocentric people, like James Potter, who definitely had some issues when he was young. I never read the books, but I'm guessing they started out more reductive with the houses, when they were more of children's stories, then implemented nuance as they moved along.
Wait did I just saw dumbledore on the thumbnail photo 😰😰
How can he be evil 😅😅
People do foolish things in their youth
@@seth9655 Dumbledore can't ........ 😱😱😱
@@seth9655 but that doesn't make him EVIL
@@AnimēshonWhispers I mean he can😂
Why did you put Dumbledore in the thumbnail.
How on Earth Was Pettigrew in Gryffindor? He had no qualities of a Gryffindor.
I wonder where it was even said he was in Gryffindor. The books don’t specifically say he was in Gryffindor.
@@spritesophie6439 But Neville was loyal to his friends.
@@mindyschocolate hahahahah youre so funny. Pettigrew was in Gryffindor I am 100% certain. You know James Sirius Remus and Peter were Marauders and they have hanged out together a lot. On Pottermore it says he was a Gryffindor. Pottermore or rather Wizarding World features that Pettigrew was in Gryffindor.
I commented on the slytherins that weren’t bad vid for you to do this video
I believe that Dumbledore has always been evil even at his older ages, he sided by the good wizards and fought against Voldemort. I am not saying he sided by Voldemort or the death eaters but from the day Harry Potter arrived at Hogwarts Dumbledore had the plan to have Harry die, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered. He clearly did not trust Harry to do the right thing and let Voldemort kill him eliminating his last Horcrux. I know it may be a hot take but it’s something I have always believed.
I was confused by the inclusion of Dumbledore in the thumbnail of the video until you provided an explanation regarding his past with Grindelwald.
think Barty Crouch jr would have been in Ravenclaw
Maybe the reason why people think Slytherin is bad is because the books are written from Harry's perspective and he didn't exactly have a good experience with Slytherin and didn't like the house
Before watching the rest of this video. I just want to point out that Hagrid never said there weren't good wizards that came from Slytherin. He only said that all the bad ones were from Slytherin.
That's just as incorrect and misleading. Peter Pettigrew should be enough example.
I honestly think that Wormtail and Lockhearth should be sorted in Slytherin. Not because they were bad or anything, but let's think about it.
Lockhearth: He was always very ambitious and ambition is something all Slytherins have and are putting it as their priority. Slytherins also put themselfs before others. That's exactly how I found Lockhearth to be. Plus I never realy found him smarter than average to be honest.
Wormtail: He always wanted to be on a good side of those with power. Why is that? So he can be in the best position possible. That didn't happen, but he tried to achive that. He also never realy showed much bravery.
Does the sorting hat make mistakes? 🤔
I remember you made a video of a Hufflepuff that made evil mazes, that one seems rather dark to me. I think he should be in this list.
Excluding all the dark wizards from Durmstrang I can think of at least 3 bad Gryffindors. Peter Pettigrew, traitor, murderer, death eater. James Potter, bully. Albus Dumbledore, manipulator, slaveowner, failed dictator. I don't know what house he was in at Hogwarts but there's also Mundungus Fletcher, thief and swindler. And Gilderoy Lockhart, impostor, fraud, cheat.
