    I understand what you mean. They are said to be those traits but that is absolutely not portrayed in the book.

    So if you’re reading the books or watching the movie and thinking “I relate to those guys” all there is to relate to is being “bad”

    They don’t have anything else going for them in the story.

      Yeah the sorting hat sorta tells Harry slitherin folks are destined for big things (not necessarily good, but big) but then there’s dumbfucks like crabbe and goyle in there who couldn’t accomplish shit.

      Joanne Kowling Rowling didn’t exactly stay consistent about things in those books.
