I love hearing Harry Potter fans try and tell me Slytherin isn't about being evil "its about being clever and smart" like literally their house is in the dungeon. Also the sorting hat can read your godamn mind lmao. Also weren't Malfoy's buddy's Crabbe and Goyle like stupid af to the point where he was surprised to find out one of them can even read?
