The older I get the less I put up with JKR
“Slytherins didn’t participate in the battle of Hogwarts bc they’d be fighting family” Do you have ANY idea of how much I’d fucking LOVE to fight some ppl in my own goddamn fucking family forget the goddamn wand I’m gonna punch my homophobic racist uncles in the throat à la muggle
also there’s no way that each and every slytherin has a death eater family member that’s just dumb
I always thought that the “Slytherins are evil” stereotype was part of Harry’s simplistic understanding of the world because he’s an 11 year old and Slytherins were the most competitive house. But apparently JK Rowling meant for that to be literally true.
