Ah, my favorite Slytherin. Brilliant in his own right, and uses that brilliance to mentor promising students, connecting them with useful contacts while reaping some benefit for himself. Amassing more influence and power among those in prominent positions. I have always thought of Slughorn as "The Political Slytherin." He's a power broker. Not the murderous Voldemort or the entitled Malfoy. He helps all students, but selects his favorites and builds his network. He is a more ethical, amiable take on the Slytherin persona.
@@siutadru reading the final book , that's technically true . i feel dumbledore , however he was , was a mastermind who managed to plan 2 steps before almost everything he did
Oh that's a good one, did you know that in the LEGO Harry Potter Year 5-7 video game, when you play Slughorn you can use transfiguration to turn into an armchair and bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce around the room.
Horace Slughorn is played by "that British guy who always seems to be in everything but you never bother to take the time to figure out what his name is," Nostalgia critic.
I really don't get why Dragons' Blood gave Slughorn away. Why was it there in the first place? What did its occurence tell Dumbledore? How did it lead him to the armchair?
The death eaters kept trying to recruit him so he was hiding out in random people’s houses. This one belonged to a muggle family that was away in the Canary Islands.
So... The books say Slughorn was moving from muggle house to muggle house to hide from death eaterts. And also tells how he does that. WHY ON EARTH were they using a tent, when hiding with Ron and Hermione?
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Book and Movie changes: Book: Slughorn says 'Ouch!' when Dumbledore pokes him. Movie: Slughorn says 'MERLIN'S BEARD!!!!!' when Dumbledore pokes him. 1:00
Honestly think they should've made Dumbledore poke him harder and/or longer. It looks like Slughorn was literally waiting for Dumbledore to very gently nudge him for the sixteenth of a second, and not like Slughorn was actively trying to act like he wasn't there.
Only the really good ones. Supposedly human transformation is one of the most difficult things to master, and dangerous if you do it wrong. part of what i love about this scene- its illustrates how powerful a wizard horace is, despite his bumbling character
This scene immediately came to my mind when I watched THAT scene in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (SPOILERS) . . . . . . . When Borat's ex-producer Azamat turned into an armchair as well.
Slughorn: "What gave me away?"
Dumbledore: "Dragon's Blood."
Me: "Me personally it was the shoes."
Me it was the fact that the Armchair was the only thing in that room that was still intact and upright.
Nuvendil That and the chair looked very out of place. Too pristine given the look of the rest of the room.
My opinion:the shoes too😅🤣🤣
Same here
I saw the chair breathing. the light source hadn't started moving but the shadows on the chair were moving...
I love the character of Horace Slughorn. It provides such a different, fresh approach on a true Slytherin person that is not a total jerk 👌

I know
I know it's different from the books but I like how Dumbledore knew because of dragon's blood. It's consistent with him discovering the 12 uses of it.

Somebody else already discovered several uses, which Dumbledore copied from his homework. Read Rita Skeeter's book.
He wasn’t hiding from Dumbledore and Harry, he was hiding from the Deatheaters.
nope. the dark mark would have been set over the house if they were really coming as dumbledore clearly stated in the book.
@@nickclark18 Gotcha.
he was hiding to make it look like the death eaters had already been there and killed him, hence the dragons blood

"'My dear Horace,' said Dumbledore, looking amused, 'if the Death Eaters really had come to call, the Dark Mark would have been set over the house.'"
Imagine the former head of Slytherin is a friend of Albus Dumbeldore.
Both Horace & Snape were. Heck, even Phineas Nigellus was.
He doesn't look like a Slytherin though.

@ThePabloSylar Thank you so much for explaining! Makes a lot more sense now to me.
One of my favorite scenes in the Harry Potter series
Loved loved loved loved in the book Slughorn getting drunk with Hagrid and singing!
Why did Horace disguised himself as a sofa chair ?? Was his house under the threat of being invaded by death eaters aka Voldemort's henchmen ??
yes he was weary of that
The death eaters kept trying to recruit him so he was hiding out in random people’s houses. This one belonged to a muggle family that was away in the Canary Islands.
So... The books say Slughorn was moving from muggle house to muggle house to hide from death eaterts. And also tells how he does that.

The nicest slytherin in existence
I'm confused. Why did Slughorn disguise himself as an armchair? Was he hiding from someone?
The Deatheaters have been trying to recruit him for a year. He doesn't want to join them.
He was hiding from Dumbledore as he didn't want to be persuaded to return to Hogwarts, but he was also hiding from Death Eaters
"You made a very convincing armchair, Horace."😄
Are we just not going to talk about the fact that Dumbledore just casually tasted what appeared to be human blood??
Well, in-universe, Albus wrote extensively on the 12 uses of dragon’s blood, so I feel like he knew what it was just from smell.
It just looks like human blood to muggles

Horace Slughorn aka "we need a likeable slytherin in the last minute"
Yknow it's kinda obvious it's blood. Unless someone has an upstairs wine cellar or a jelly factory I don't think Dumbledore had to taste it
Ah but what KIND of blood? THAT was why he tasted it. presumably dragons blood tastes markedly different. A Smokey flavour perhaps
THAT kind of reasoning is why the death eaters never managed to pin him down. Dumbledore is on a different level, though.
@@theo-jamesmoulton2000 Right! They probably wouldn't have found Slughorn if they had assumed that was real blood. The dragon blood tipped DD off!
Why is Dumbledore introducing Harry as Voldemort in Yoda's way of speaking?
He was hoping to have Harry sit on him
