Slughorn is a prime example of all the positive traits in Slytherin. His ambition while at the expense of others, was never malicious in nature, he was cunning and shrewd to see the potential in others regardless of blood purity.
Actually he used to think pure bloods were more talented than muggleborns( which is understandable, considering their unfair advantage of being born and raised in the wizarding world) until Harry’s mum shattered that perception
You do know Slughorn used people he thought would grow up to be celebrities just to bring extra fame to himself right? My dude got a taste of his of medicine
It's important to remember Slughorn is from a pre-Voldemort Slytherin. He's an older model we don't see again until Leta Lestrange in the Fantastic Beasts series.
@@harmanjotsingh4230 is that even possible? The fantastic beast timeline really messed up Harry Potter, they made mccgonall way older than she really is, so does this mean she taught slughorn, and the other teachers at Hogwarts?
@@tater4442 Not really. You have to remember that wizardkind tend to live longer lives, i mean consider that Dumbledore was one of her teachers & by the time of the books he's about a century & a half... or much older. Cannon says she started teaching at Hogwarts around 1910.
@@harmanjotsingh4230 Slughorn's age is unknown he is younger than Dubmledore, so at the earliest he was born in 1882, and he started teaching in 1931, and he would have to have finished his 7 years at Hogwarts for that, so at the latest he was born in 1913. Leta was born in 1896/97 so there is a chance that they attended Hogwarts together, but it is unclear.
Horace's redemption arc is one of the more interesting, never a bad guy but made some really big mistakes; did the right thing in Harry's last years at Hogwarts.
Tom had already knew how to make Horcruxes before he even asked it to Slughorn. But rather, he was just confirming if he could do it up to seven times. It was never his fault to spill an information about how to create Horcruxes, but he was just feeling insecure to be the biggest contributor to the reign of the Dark Lord.
He is still quite prejudiced, but he would readily accept and nurture talented muggle-born unlike most slytherins who are too vain about their superior bloodline.
Voldemort still would have made Horcruxes even if Slughorn didn't tell him, especially since he already had a decent understanding of them. His goal was to beat death. He would go to great lengths to ensure his questions were answered.
Very true he did, he already made 2 by then but he just wanted to know if 7 pieces would work. But Slughorn thought he was responsible for it when he wasnt
@@MB-sj2yu Different opinions, you know. And he's a morally good and nice Slytherin character, had relations with students that disproved his prejudices and a lot more. He is also very likable in the movie, and actually one of the highlights there for me!
@@conserztasfia0078 Merlin is the most powerful wizard to ever have lived. We don't see him too much because the Harry Potter storyline is basically a blend with regular (or Muggle/No-Maj) world history as well as an extension of King Arthur
Hello, interestingly, Horace Slughorn psychological portrait matches the so-called "inverted narcissist" type (or "narcissist by proxy"). Those people tend to stay on the back line and avoid competition, but enjoy the company of people they deem important or powerful. Furthermore, they tend to actively seek close relationships with grandiose narcissists (Voldemort has obvious traits of narcissism, along with antisocial psychopathy).
The way I see it, it's kinda like someone who thinks little of themselves, doesn't think they can be as great as others, so tries to egg others on when they see potential. Tell me more about your conclusion.
It's because he uses them as a crutch. He is a professor and aligns himself with the students who do the best, and the students, wanting to get the best grades and recognition possible, are more than happy to oblige to joining his Club. Slughorn was a good man on the surface, but deep down, the man had his demons. Look at what it took to get the Tom Riddle memory out of him, even with everything that was going on around them at the time, when that really had nothing to do with his own more in-depth personal life, he just felt so ashamed of himself, possibly blaming himself for Voldemort even existing. The man is holding on to some really deep and dark pain.
I always loved Slughorn's character, he's a brilliant example of Slytherin's more positive traits ; Resourcefulness, cunning and opportunistic tendencies but not oriented towards evil-doing at all, just a great wizard overall :)
I love his character so much. I always imagine how it felt to see his favourite student as a monster, someone told me nothing causes more pain to a teacher than seeing his students fail.
I also think we should point out that even though Harry himself wasn't extraordinary at potions, the Potter family gained their massive wealth and reputation from brewing and even inventing potions, so anyone outside of his inner circle would probably say "Well of course he's amazing at potions. He's a Potter."
@@BlueAvocado3I agree, one of the reasons Harry was seemingly bad at potions was Snape constantly harassing him, likely leaving him unable to concentrate and making mistakes, plus Snapes teaching method appeared to be very poor indeed, in OOTP his "teaching" was summed up like so 1, tell them what potion they'll make today 2, put the recipe on the chalkboard 3, say the ingredients are in the store cupboard 4, do and say nothing until someone (Harry) makes an error 5, bring it to everyone's attention and do your best to humiliate them. Snape appears to be a very good example of how someone who knows a subject well doesn't mean they would be a good choice to teach that subject.
If they can make Minerva magical appear before she even was born than I think seeing Slughorn at Hogwarts is possible if the movie takes place after 1931 when he begun.
I always loved Slughorn. Not only is he a fun character and fought Voldemort but he also proves that not all Slytherins are evil or biased. Being a Slytherin myself, he's a great character.
One of my favorite characters in the books. Like Snape after him, Slughorn helped to reshape my opinion of Slytherin house at a time when the established norm at Hogwarts threatened to burst at the seams at any moment. He also reminded me of a lot of male teachers I have had, faults and all, especially at the high school and university levels.
Thank you to Horace slughorn 😢 for proving not all slytheirns are dark wizards and bully’s you are one of the reasons why I am proud to be a member of slytheirn house
@@Mooglekingcatnick Malfoy was a product of his parents, and its very clear their effect on him drove him to the dark side. Only when he got so far in that his family was truly in danger did he really realize the errors of his ways. Of course by then it was much too late. He and his mother did make up for it however by sparing Harry’s life at distinct moments
I love Horace because he shows that the teacher can influence the class, reading his classes made me exited for potions class, something that snape couldn’t do for thousands of pages
I know that some people don't like Slughorn so much, but he actually is my favorite character of the series! Also 16:20 is a perfect discription of Horace! He is the proof that Slytherin house is not just a bunch of a**holes! BTW have a nice day! 😃
Colaman112 it really is. People keep telling me my facts are wrong basing the story on the movies and not the books. I was tired of it so that’s going to be in the beginning of every video now...sad it has to be that way
I’m of the belief that even though the books are objectively better the movies do a lot of stuff better than the books and I personally think that the true canon should be a mix of the best parts of both the books and the movies
someone explain this scene to me. Slughorn: how did you know? Dumbledore: My dear man, if the deatheaters had really come to call they would have put up the dark mark Slughorn: I knew I was forgetting something, oh well I suppose I wouldn't have had time anyway, I only had a few seconds before you showed up. Interesting how slughorn implies that he could have cast the dark mark if he had had more time. Only deatheaters know how to cast it.
We hear crouch Jr say what sounds like Moramorda at the World Cup so its easily probable that others have heard the incantation, seen the motion and this combined with the intent to cast it surely makes it possible to work it out. I bet its part of auror training for use when going undercover and fairly common practice for use in the way slughorn claims to make it appear death eaters have already been to divert them.
There is a slight hint that Voldemort remembered Slughorn in a positive way. Slughorn was offered many times to allign himself with the Death Eaters in the first war and always seemed to slip from their grasp with avoidance or very polite excuses. Yet he was never seriously persued for his avoidance, which Dumbledore briefly mentioned in the books. After reading the books and watching the movie I really got the feeling that Slughorn actually truly liked and cared for Tom Riddle. He seemed deeply upset with what he did by telling Tom how to create Horcruxes and while he was clearly ashamed for his part in it the way he spoke to Harry let me believe that he felt actually sorrow for Tom and never forgave himself.
I’m so glad I watched this. I didn’t really understand his character that much from the books. I thought he was evil, in hiding from the ministry, for telling Voldemort about horcruxes. I now know that he wasn’t that, thankyou
@@nathanbodak922 first 3 books at im not 100% sure but JK Rowling Might have released more information about him and his backstory. Also he was there for battle of hogwarts too
Yes, I really want to know more about him. In the books he's rarely ever seen, and Pottermore doesn't say anything except his wand type and that he is a seeker.
Out of all these life story videos this one is my #1 favorite. For being someone who has only seen the movies. I'm hooked on these videos and am now going to listen to the audio books. Great job man
Slughorn is one of my favorite characters. It’s so relieving to see a Slytherin that isn’t evil. Yeah he did make some mistakes, but he did what he could to rectify it to the point of battling Voldemort. He is a bit of an aristocrat, but he was a really good teacher, and placed no value on blood purity not hesitating to praise muggle borns who succeeded in their studies. He’s definitely pretty underrated
I like that Malfoy's initial warning to Harry (pertaining to the Weasleys), about the "wrong sort" of Wizarding family, is legit _only_ because they're pov (and hold no antipathy to muggles, too). They're part of the 28, Dracling!
Hi Morgan, I really appreciate all of your videos, for all your information, for all your hard work and for all your support. I am doing a special thanks to you what you have worked. And knowing I’ve been following you for 3 years, I subscribed to your channel and like every video you post, as I always liked them. And again, thanks a lot!
I absolutely love watching your videos every week! Thank you so much posting them! P.S. the Harry Potter and Avatar the Last Airbender ones are the best!
Wow this was a great video! Of course I knew big chunks of the info from the movies & books, but you put it together in such a way that it really gave insight into the character. I didn't realize how brave he really was.
I really like his character. He has flaws like being snobbish and wanting to collect students but he isnt evil and when the time came he stood up to help fight Voldemort. Also he is currently the only slytherin I have heard who isnt bad. I guess snape was that too but he joined the order after he thought lily was in danger
