>Yes, yes, well done, Slytherin. Well done, Slytherin. HOWEVER...What an absolute fucking dick
Why? He taught the students that no matter what you do in life that it isn’t fair. A valuable lesson, wouldn’t you say, OP?
>>220607555It’s not a conflict of interest that Dumbledore is a former gryffindor because….they are all the good guys or something.
Nothing in Harry Potter makes sense because it's set in current times. It should really be in medieval times or earlier, where there wasn't access to modern weapons. Imagine the Matrix lobby scene with wizard wands instead of guns.
>>220607592>He taught the studentsWhat did he actually do all day?
>>220607592Maybe, but as a teacher it seems more sensible not to give a bunch of mostly innocent kids a false hope of victory, knowing fully well you're about to snatch it from them and leave them all defeated
>>220607740If they were innocent they wouldn't have been sorted into Slytherin.
>>220607715This is true but JK was never a smart or consistent world builder.Her entire narrative is written from the perspective of a mother. It’s about a mother’s love for her kids set in a fancy weird backdrop. The rest of she winged as she went along.
>>220607715Magic is real and the wand is far more powerful than the firearm.
>>220607734He coomed with the talking paintings in his office of course. Dumbledore forced the people in the paintings to watch him stroke his shriveled wand while laughing maniacally.
>>220607761Muggles would stomp the magic users. There are billions of us, and they can only cast one semi auto spell at a time.
>>220607592>>220607740Slytherin won so often because Snape was the sole teacher that was rampantly biased towards his own house, and they lost when Dumbledore stepped in to add his own bias.The real lesson was that anyone who relies on corruption to get ahead will inevitably get fucked when their opponents have a bigger finger on the scale.
>>220607833Yet they do not because they cannot.
>>220607845Fake anti slytherin demoralization post.They won the cup often because they were ambitious, driven and good at magic. Snaps was just a real bro, it’s not his fault that Hufflefags, Raventroons and Gryffindtards can’t say the enchantments without dilating their assholes with their wands at the same time.
>>220607910No we don’t because we don’t know that they exist. It’s only the government and parents of muggle wizards that know of the other world.
>>220607820this picture is funny because it implies its author is homosexual
>>220607555He announces them as winner before taking it away. It's not even misleading, it's straight up lying and betrayal
>>220607958More people are into magic these days. But they use it for evil because they are hateful people so everyone gets cursed.
>>220607715Harry Potter is set in the 90s, from 1991 to 1998.Harry was born in 1980.
>>220607555Realistically everyone non Griffindor would be glad this asshole died.
>>220608070Real black magic almost always takes more from the practitioner than it gives.
>>220607555Is there anything concrete about the point system in the books or is it pretty much as arbitrary and unreliable as shown in the movies?
>>220607820should be a fat brown/mutt "person" but accurate
>>220607820Image doesn't apply to like 90% of people who grew up watching HP and knowing full well it's just throwaway entertainment.
>>220609198Of course not, teachers can just give points on a whim. It's never explained what's stopping them from giving 10 million points to their house and why Dumbledore can manipulate points.
>>220610624hogwarts going ancap for points? B-B-BASED! if i catch anyone itt giving points to anyone but me, my McDonald's Hellfire Missile will be speaking with you shortly
>>220610624It’s implied that there is meant to be some sort of standardized system in place.You punish students for being late, interrupting class, failing assignments, breaking the rules etc. You reward them for doing the inverse, and you’re meant to scale the points in relation to the significance of the feat/failure. Dumbledore can also give and deduct points since he’s technically also a teacher by virtue of being the headmaster. The twisted part is that the teachers, especially the ones who are the heads of the four houses, are likely expected/ allowed to reward/punish their own students based upon the values of their house/founder. I.e Snape is allowed to give a Slytherin a 10 point reward for not snitching on his buddy, even if said student knew that his friend was cheating. Similarly McGonagall is likely to reward feats of successful bravery even if said feats break the rules of the school.How it’s supposed to work in a way that doesn’t encourage the house heads to abuse the system, beyond trust, is anyone’s guess. Ideally it works out because magic I guess.
>>220607922>ambitious, driven and good at magic.>Draco is a literal nepo baby>Crabble and Goyle are legit retards>Inbreeds everywhere due to pureblood beliefs>Snape is a cunt that is still seething because some Gryffindors bullied his nazi incel edgelord ass, so he deducts points left and right while ignoring Slytherins bullying on other students and never deducting any points from them or makes an effort to discipline his own house members, while McGonagall straight up deducts 150 points from Hermione, Ron and Harry for wandering the castle at night>Vast majority of Death Eaters are from SlytherinEasily the shittiest house.
>>220610840>Easily the most based house.I fixed it for you. Literal retarded shit stirrers who move the plot. Without Slytherin, there would be no content.You also forgot that someone of the most badass wizards of all time came from that house. Tom Riddle almost became dictator with the aid of one book and handful of mates.
>>220610880>Tom Riddle almost became dictatorYou meant Grindelwald, who actually had charisma instead of being a retard schizo like Voldy who couldn't even overtake a school, who descends from a bloodline of actual inbreeds (the Gaunts).
>reddit spacing>drive by posting
>>220609198Everything's made up and the points don't matter.
>>220611434Drew pls
>>220607555Saving the school and possibly wizard civilization is worth at least a few hundred house points I'd say, especially after all the points McGonagall and Snape took from them earlier in the story
>>220607734Smoked opium from a pipe and played Super Nintendo roms all day.
>>220607734A great question, the meta answer is obviously that Dumbledore is such a powerful character that him intervening would break the story, thus he must kept in his office or away from Hogwarts on businessRowling tries to have him around more in Chamber of Secrets, but it just made him seem bumbling and not very smart so she stopped doing that. Because it makes no sense why he wouldn't solve everything with ease, except to make to Harry go through trials, like some sort of insane training method where he makes Harry risk his life constantly.
