Harry would have done well in Slytherin due to his inherent ambition, resourcefulness, cunning, and determination to achieve his goals, traits the Sorting Hat noted, plus the Voldemort soul fragment granting Parseltongue and influence; he had a "thirst to prove" himself and a knack for bending rules for his own ends, similar to Slytherin ideals, even if his ultimate goals were selfless, making him a potential Slytherin leader or powerful protégé, as Quora users discuss.
Hufflepuff is often considered the worst house at Hogwarts because it hasn't contributed as much to magic as other houses, except for a few exceptions like Newt Scamander. Hufflepuffs are known for their hard work but it rarely leads to major magical discoveries.
As Dumbledore said, Slytherins were chosen in part because of their ``certain disregard for the rules,'' and this defines Harry every bit as much as courage or pride. He might have even been encouraged to be a bit less impulsive at times.
As a Slytherin, Harry would gain the favor of the Potions Master, who deeply values his own house. Harry's new position might soften Snape's hostility, especially since Harry would be surrounded by Slytherin allies, potentially making him feel less like James Potter's son and more like a Slytherin protégé.
Harry requested specifically to be spared that fate. Instead, based upon this choice, the Hat placed him in Gryffindor, where both his parents had also been Sorted. When Harry spoke to the Hat in his second year, it repeated its earlier declarations — that Harry would have done well in Slytherin.
Her style is more focused and disciplined, while Ravenclaws frequently stand out for originality and thinking outside the box. Moreover, the Sorting Hat sensed something in Hermione beyond her intelligence: her immense courage and determination to do what is right, even if it means breaking the rules.
Harry Potter (creative franchise): Were there any Slytherin students defending Hogwarts? There WERE Slytherins on Harry's side in the Battle of Hogwarts - at least in the book.
Some good Slytherin wizards, like Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, have proven themselves as heroes and made positive contributions to the Wizarding World.
She was much more Luna in Ravenclaw than anything else. Hermione in Slytherin, on the outs from the get go for being a Mudblood, and not a particularly likable person, would have been a social recluse, an introverted shut-in focusing on her studies and crying when she was alone very often.
No. The Peverells don't descend from Salazar Slytherin . A Peverell descendant married into the Gaunt family, and the Potters, but no descendant of Salazar ever married into the Potters.
She was even more shocked to discover that she could speak with it. She was a Parselmouth, a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, through a squib line.
As for Ron, Hufflepuff is probably the worst house for him. He's not hard-working (unless he really has to be), particularly tolerant (look at his treatment of Krum, for instance), or patient (see the first half of Deathly Hallows).
This was exhibited by Harry during his own sorting in 1991 and possibly due to possessing some Slytherin qualities like his father. Ultimately, Albus was, in fact, sorted into Slytherin. He also inherited the paternal line of general curiosity, showing an interest in his father's fame and past.
Here's our list of all eight films, ranked from the worst to the best!
People say the Most Forgotten House is Hufflepuff, but people pay so much attention to it BECAUSE they think it's forgotten. In the end it's Ravenclaw. Slytherin are the main antagonists in HP (typically) to be forgotten.
Those who belong to Ravenclaw house are thought to be the brainiest students at Hogwarts. Many assume that means all Ravenclaws are very academic and enjoy nothing more than spending their time in the library.
Often considered the least desirable of all the sorting options, here are some reasons why Hufflepuff house is the worst. Updated November 22nd, 2020 by Ian Goodwillie: While the Hufflepuffs are endearing in their own special way, the reasons they are the worst are almost too innumerable to count.
Students of any blood status could be placed in the house. However, a Muggle-born student from that house was considered to be quite rare. The emblematic animal of the house was a snake and the house's colours were green and silver.
Horace Slughorn
Perhaps his most kind-hearted moment comes as he joins Hagrid at Aragog's funeral, despite having not known Hagrid's arachnid friend, demonstrating much compassion as he helps the half-giant through his pet's unfortunate death.
Ariana Grande revealed she's a Slytherin.
Actor Tom Felton told Huffpost he thought Grande would be a Gryffindor. She revealed on Twitter the quiz told her she's a Slytherin, but she's down to change that up.
Hufflepuffs are just the most humble of all the houses and don't feel the need to shout about their achievements in the same way as the others.
Not only is it canon that no Slytherins fought, Voldemort mentions that all (or at least many) Slytherins joined him outright. He says, "If your son is dead, Lucius, it is not my fault. He did not come and join me, like the rest of the Slytherins." Pretty awkward.
In 1943, Tom Riddle, the "Heir of Slytherin", opened the Chamber of Secrets to conduct a purge on Muggle-born students. This resulted in the death of Myrtle Warren, who eventually returned as a ghost. Riddle opened the Chamber again in 1993 through the use of one of his seven Horcruxes, his diary.
Peter Pettigrew (aka Wormtail) is one of two Death Eaters known to have been in a House other than Slytherin (Gryffindor) while at Hogwarts. There, he was a close friend of Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin, although he was the least intelligent and least talented of the group.
While the rest of the Weasley family answered Neville Longbottom's call to arms to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, Charlie did not join them immediately. This was possibly due to being out of the country at the time. During this time, his younger brother Fred was tragically killed during the first half of the battle.
