the issue is that almost every other person that you can challenge already has body bind which beats all three of your ones. the flame one is my best at about 123, but whenever you challenge someone they get a bod bind curse for 140 |

The God of Conquest

I did, in the last 5 minutes or so. I just take ssue with the fact that some spells trump al others. it should be more of a rock paper scissors scenario. |

Rest the bottom of the bottle on the side of the cauldron and slowly tip them in. |

A lot easier when the vast majority of Slytherins come from similar backgrounds with similar interests. Ravenclaw is a house diverse enough that Hermione Granger nearly went into it, and Luna Lovegood did. They were set up to be almost polar opposites, but they are united by their search for wisdom that could have landed them both in this great house. And with that diversity will come break ups, like it does in Gryffindor as well. But as people, they are far more friendly and less selfish than Slytherins who keep any generosity and friendliness within their select clique. Harry Potter was always going to find help in his own help, but there is a reason the most help he got from outside of it was from Ravenclaw. |

Uh, because he happened to befriend the few Ravenclaws that weren't so completely engrossed in their studies that they became assholes? It's even part of a Ravenclaw's traits, which are Intelligence, Wit, Wisdom, Creativity, and Individuality. Ravenclaws are generally selfish pricks. Though I honestly like all three houses fairly equally. Now, you may be thinking "Three houses? What about Hufflepuff?" What about Hufflepuff? |

It's a real shame Hufflepuff didn't get any exposition or importance in the main story. It's really only because of that they're stuck with such stigma among the fanbase. Having Cedric chosen by the Goblet of Fire seemed a really poor attempt to assign some importance or characteristic, but it just didn't work out. In the supplemental materials, though... |

well that is the issue isn't it. The characteristics of hufflepuff are pretty much "the rest of them." just those that aren't especially courageous, driven or wise. Because of that there was never a reason to include them in the main plot. Ravenclaw can be helpful because they re generally intelligent, slytherin are linked to the villains and Gryffindor are the heroes. It is basically the triforce with power, wisdom and courage, while hufflepuff is the hole in the middle. Nobody pays attention to the hole because all of the other aspects are simply more important. |

The problem with Hufflepuff is its not only people that show none of those characteristics, the inclusion on Neville in Gryffindor shows that the sorting also takes into account future potential for those qualities. Having Neville be a Hufflepuff and still go through the same stuff in his development, even getting the Sword in the end despite not being a Gryffindor, would have set Hufflepuff up as the house of people who haven't got their direction by age 11. That would have made it the most interesting house, as you wouldn't know where people were heading from it. It could hold the most loyal of Death Eaters or the bravest of the freedom fighters. Shame. |
