I can’t believe they oblitered straight men like that

[kingdom-of-demons]

after dying god informs you that hell is a myth, and “everyone sins, its ok”. instead the dead are sorted into six “houses of heaven” based on the sins they chose.

We might have misunderstood Hogwarts Houses for years

I have a theory that the valued quality of each of the four Houses isn’t really about the personality of its students.

The valued quality of each of the four Houses has to do with how they perceive magic.

Stick with me a second: Hogwarts is a school to study magic. Magic as Hogwarts teaches it can be seen as many things: a natural talent, a gift, a weapon, etc.

So how you believe magic should be used will both reflect your personality and change how you handle that power.

“Their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart,” Gryffindors perceive magic as a weapon. Gryffindors tend to excel in aggressive forms of magic, like offensive and defensive spells, and they are good at dueling. But a true Gryffindor knows that the power is a responsibility, and so they must always use their powers to stand up for what’s right. They are the sword of the righteous, which makes them as good at Defense Against the Dark Arts as they are at combat magic.

Hufflepuffs believe that magic is a gift and that the best gifts are to be given away. Hufflepuffs, “loyal and just,” would naturally abhor the idea of jealously guarding magic or using it to hurt someone else. So Hufflepuffs share their magic to benefit of Muggles, like the Fat Friar, to protect the overlooked, like Newt Scamander with his creatures, or to oppose those who would use magic to torment and bully, like the Hufflepuffs who stood with the DA and the battle of Hogwarts.

Slytherins are the opposite: they believe their magic is a treasure that they have been entrusted to protect. The Slytherin fascination with purity, with advantage, with cunning and secrecy–all of which were perverted by the Death Eaters–comes from the idea that people with magic in their veins have been given something special that it is their duty to protect at all costs. And perhaps they aren’t entirely wrong: power in the wrong hands can be dangerous. And power interfering at will with Muggle affairs is a gross presumption that could turn the course of history. Though the series shows some of the worst that Slytherin can be, “evil,” is not a natural Slytherin tendency. “Cautious,” is.

Ravenclaws believe that magic is an art form, one that is beautiful and should be appreciated and studied for its own sake. If “wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure,” then asking what magic is for is useless. It’s more important to immerse oneself in magic for its own sake. Ravenclaws push the boundaries of magic to see if they can, hence Hermione’s spell experiment on the DA coins being dubbed a Ravenclaw quality, but like Luna Lovegood in the pursuit of extraordinary creatures: they can also be content to plumb the depths of what already exists.

So while you can see where personalities will overlap over Houses, perhaps in Sorting we should be asking ourselves less what we think we are and more what we think we believe.

Why aren't we talking about the Bartimaeus Trilogy more?

Like, this book series is amazing. First of all it stars a sarcastic djinn and his misadventures with a young boy wizard who isn’t painted as this perfect kind hero. Nathaniel isn’t a sugar coated chosen one. He’s a flawed boy who makes selfish choices and who ultimately has to learn how to overcome his own selfish ambition. His talent gets him into more trouble than not, and it’s refreshing to see this change in YA lit.

Secondly, the books are totally about class revolution as the trilogy centers around magicians being the top elite 1% as they use their magic to control the populace and wage wars with other nations (America included). As the stories unfold we learn to question who are and who are not the actual heroes of the trilogy as we learn more about the government and the resistance fighting back.

Thirdly, the books are set in this unique alternate history where a lot of our real world events happened, but things have been drastically affected by magic. For instance, the American Revolution never properly took place as the British had demons and magic to fight the rebellion. Additionally, the Native Americans had their own magic and summons, so colonists were never able to get further than the East coast, so most of what we hear about America in the trilogy is about guerilla warfare being fought in the Appalachian mountains.

Fourthly, the books address that adults and guardians aren’t necessarily good. It flips the trope of the wise magician mentor trope on its head, and it presents a pretty frustrating, if not more realistic, representation of power struggles between the government and the people, masters and apprentices, parental figures and wards, and magicians and demons.

Fifthly, and most importantly, Bartimaeus’ footnotes and quips are legendary. Bartimaeus may be a djinn bound to serve whoever summons him, but he does not give in or fawn over his masters. He has more salt than a winter road, and he is eager to season everything with it.

So yeah, if you like shape shifting snarky demons, reimagined histories, and revolution against oppressors (that is not told in the typical dystopian sort of way) then the Bartimaeus Trilogy is for you.
