Why Slytherin's Portrayal in the Game is Too Cute for Me
1,Your thoughts on Slytherin's characters in the game: Describe your experiences with Slytherin's characters in the game and how you perceive their personalities and actions. Do you feel that the Slytherin characters in the game are more or less sympathetic than in the books and movies?

2 How Slytherin affects the game's story: Slytherin plays a big role in the Harry Potter universe, and in the game, Slytherin's actions can have a big impact on the game's story. Describe how Slytherin affects the game's story and how it differs from the books and movies.

Describe how Slytherin is represented in the game's community and whether it reflects their character in the books and movies.

Personally, I think they are far too friendly, if you look at the books they are evil against everyone, but in the game you see them get along with everyone? Or is it just me

Propably because its not team deatheaters but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ children who dont always come from extremist families.

I have a theory that after a certain while, only extremist families + rich families that look down on others have the same knack that Salazaar wanted for his house.

This was probably a coincidence, as people who are rich usually have the same bright mind that Salazaar wanted.

But then you know how it is, a rotten orange group always cause something that was pure become vile. Just like symbols and flags over the course of history.

This happens on the 1800's (as far as I'm told) and this was 2 years before Dumbledore was even a STUDENT in Hogwarts for god's sake, these people are ANCIENT.

So back Slytherin was probably filled with actual bright minded people but also with decent empathy for others.

I know I might be falling on a tangent here but I think it's the best hunch I've got.

IMO Slytherin in the books is biased from harry's point of view. We only see like 7 Slytherins out of what, 50 slytherin students? we only see the Slytherins he hates, not the normal ones

We only see Harry's hateful perception of them, and Harry's interactions with bad Slytherins. We never get to meet normal Slytherin students, who are just going about their lives doing normal student things

I'm glad the game didn't go 'hurr hurr all slytherins are evil jerks and racists", and actually made them NORMAL people

I always thought the books were very unfair to Slytherin. EVERY student in it is evil? really? Every single one? I dont buy it. There are normal, good natured Slytherins too. They just don't get involved in the stupid petty rivalries and focus on their schoolwork

You sound like you're assigning me a book report. No, no, no.

Yeah, they're very normal, if you're Snake house Imelda will be nice to you from the get go. Slytherin of the time is essentially enlightened aristocracy like Grace Pinch-Smedley and Ominis.

To be respected by Slytherins you need to be one of them, or "git gud" since they've no tolerance for losers, or both. So it's no wonder in Philosopher's Stone Harry is seen as an upstart who got all the fame but no skill or knowledge to show for it.

Precisely what Jynn says in the thread.

This is why it's so important to to judge a whole house based on the experience of Harry Potter and his friends , I'm sure there are good people and bad people, in all Houses.
