Adaptational Comic Relief: Their stupidity is mostly played for laughs in the films, they’re also given much more comedic moments, whereas in the books, they did little more than flank Draco.

It's likely that Slytherin suffered an internalized version of this as a result of Voldemort's rise to power. The only major Slytherin free of interest in the Dark Arts and Blood Purity is Horace Slughorn, who comes from an earlier generation than Voldemort. Basically, Voldemort's obsession with being the Heir of Slytherin and the fact that he recruited Death Eaters from his own house and then their children after them, essentially cast a large blot on their legacy, making people believe that their extreme aspects were their core ideas.The Unfettered: With ambition and pragmatism being two of their greatest traits, Slytherins will "use any means to achieve their ends". Combat Pragmatist: How they play Quidditch. Rowling also subsequently claimed that they left the school to gather reinforcements during the Battle of Hogwarts, although it was never mentioned in the actual book.

The Quisling: Is the only student to openly suggest that Hogwarts should turn Harry over to Voldemort.Many readers don't think that Slytherin House was very helpful during the Battle of Hogwarts: in the books, Slytherin students appear to flee as soon as things go south. However, Rowling later clarified that this was not the case: the students actually went "off for reinforcements," and many returned to fight alongside the rest of the Houses. Adaptational Attractiveness: Starting from the Prisoner of Azkaban, Goyle really isn't visibly heavy in any way (Josh Herdman, his actor, apparently lost a significant amount of weight after shooting for the second film wrapped). Crabbe, on the other hand, remains fat. These colors refer to the sky. Ravenclaw’s traits are wisdom, cleverness, and wit. They tend to be creative witches and wizards. When it comes to their academics, they stop at nothing to achieve greatness. The sky is said to be indestructible, infinite, and boundless. These are all terms that can easily be applied to any loyal Ravenclaw such as Luna Lovegood or Mister Ollivander. The Olympian Theory

Pansy Parkinson is a Slytherin in Harry's year, described as arrogant and always insulting anyone she pleases to. She is Draco Malfoy's girlfriend for most of the series, and is in many ways the female version of Draco. But just before the battle of Hogwarts, she suggests the Hogwarts students betray Harry Potter to Voldemort, so she is the first student to be evacuated. Besides Slytherin himself, there have been two notable Heads of House: Horace Slughorn, the professor who first told Tom Riddle about the Horcruxes, once served as top snake, and everyone's favorite tragic hero, Severus Snape, was also Head of Slytherin for a time. As a result, it is not surprising that she had a definite reason for choosing the colors she did when choosing two colors to represent each house. And as you can see, color symbolisms play an important role in our world and even in wizarding world! Every color has a meaning behind it as well as emotions that we have attached to it over time. Wanting to express the true personality of the characters, Rowlings may have considered this when choosing the house colors. Gryffindor – RedCreepy Twins: No insight is given into their personality. They're creepy primarily for no other reason being identical, pale, and not saying a word in any of their appearances. Divergent Character Evolution: They start out as their book counterparts with very little to no personality, but starting from the second movie we see them get some unique characteristics. Crabbe becomes a Butt-Monkey who has his Not So Above It All moments while Goyle becomes The Big Guy with a Hair-Trigger Temper. Crabbe embodies the dumb part while Goyle embodies the muscle part. Also, in the books Malfoy prefers Crabbe since he's smarter than Goyle. In the movies it's the other way around. Harry Potter started out as a small spark in the imagination of J. K. Rowling and has grown into an empire. That empire encompasses seven books, eight movies, and several theme park lands spread all over the world in places such as Orlando, Hollywood, Beijing, and Japan. Each story in the Harry Potter series includes adventure, heartwarming lessons, and symbolism. Even something as simple as the Hogwarts’ house colors hold a special meaning to the author and the fans that are young as well as those that are young at heart, like my wife and I. Acrofatic: In the last book, Crabbe, despite being described as overweight, is mentioned as outrunning everyone who is trying to flee the Fiendfyre in the Room of Requirement. It doesn't save him though.

We can imagine that you would get to sit up in Ravenclaw Tower, while surveying the excellent views, if you’re the type of person who analyses everything, is an overachiever, can be described as away with the fairies, is not afraid to be an individual and has a head stuffed full of interesting facts. Hufflepuff First things first, the Slytherin-only space in Hogwarts isn’t just any common room and sleeping quarters. It’s a dungeon, because of course it is, and its location isn’t exactly for the weak of heart. No, they don’t have chains and other dungeon-esque torture devices (that we know of) – but they do reside both under the school’s grounds and at least partially underwater. Birds of a Feather: The basis for his and Scorpius's friendship: both are the gossiped-about children of famous fathers, both feel determined to break free of the past's legacy, and both have a well-intentioned troublemaking streak. Messy Hair: Just like dear old dad. But averted in the movies, where his hair's actually neater than even movie!Harry and this trope plays straight for James.Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Described as tall, dark-skinned and attractive, taking after his famously beautiful mother. In the book version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, we learned that Slytherin students cleared out of Hogwarts as soon as things started to look a bit hairy. To most readers, that seemed like a decidedly cowardly act. After all, any good witch or wizard would stay to help defend the school that housed them and taught them, even if it meant certain death. It’ In the LEGO games, Goyle is Shot in the Ass by Ron in the Room of Requirement. As a nod to Goyle taking Crabbe's role from the books. Dirty Coward: Self-preservation is one of the traits of Slytherin; while this doesn't always translate into cowardice, note It overlaps with the other defining traits of Slytherin, pragmatism, and ambition, as a Slytherin would avoid taking unnecessary risks so that they could ensure that their goals are met. In the cast of Voldemort, this manifests as a Mortality Phobia. it often does for Slytherins that aren't on the side of the bad guys. Fantastic Racism: While unknown if they harbour these traits, they like many other notable or incidental Slytherin students are related to Death Eaters, in this case the brother-sister Carrow pair.
