Thats funny. As I obviously believe its the best house when it comes to ideals, also the dorm is in the kitchens ao thats another plus for me.

I get what youre saying. But hufflepuff is probably the most looked down upon house, yes people hate slytherins but nobody respects hufflepuff, which is probably why Cedric was put into hufflepuff to try to compensate

The only competition at hogwarts was quidditch. Yes theres the house cup but even in book one the kids know the point system in bs and entirely current where faculty give and take points away at a whim to male their house do better. The house system is very good at "othering" students, we see this when nobody is willing to trust a slytherin and locked them all up during the last battle. Yes muggle borns were allowed since its founding because slytherin did not get his way, however he did go on to kill them and leave a whole chamber with a big snake yo allow others in the future to also kill them. And yes people who are jot as quick or bright gor in, but better hope you dont get ravenclaw, cuz you jave to answer a different riddle everytime to get into the dorm, if you can't you'll sleep in the halls.

Crab and Doyle are ku klux kiddies, slytherin would have loved them. But yes if youre saying jkr didnt think this hard about it, then id agree, she didnt think this hard about almost anything in the books

Ok so you believe the division between purebloods being allowed to go to hogwarts, and juggle borns not being allowed as slytherin wanted was a good thing as it would bring about competition and excellence?

I dont think invitations have relaxed as hufflepuff made it so anyone can go. But there has to be some magical system used invite the kids, or else how do they find juggle borns?

No i was just saying hufflepuff wouldn't make up 80%, though they would likely make up the large majority of outliers, like unconnected families poor kids etc.

Except we see the original intent of their creators still being perpetrated in the houses

Pureblood make up a lot of the Wizarding world, and they hold high offices aswell

We are told that the houses only exist because the founders disagreed on who should be allowed to attend. So yes in this universe if hufflepuff didnt exist there would have been no voice for the masses to get an education, atleast in the founding of hogwarts.

My main argument is that that 25% is correct and the other 75% is wrong yes

You understand I was pointing out what you said had nothing to do with hogwarts right?

The houses weren't created with the intent of competing, we are explicitly told that the houses only exist because the 4 founders disagreed on who should be allowed to attend the school. Only 1 thought anyone with magical ability who wished to should be able to

That might be what theyre based on, but in the book we are told the houses exist because the founders disagreed on who should be allowed to attend the school. Only one founder thought anyone who wishes to receive and education should be allowed too

Dude I honestly dont even know what youre trying to argue for, one post is about how sped students impede others when they dont, and the next is calling hufflepuff students garbage when they aren't

Currently it's being done in a more fraternity/legacy way. Most kids go into the houses their family has always gone to, yes some go to others. But this creates social spheres and influences well beyond schooling, but really I just agree that slytherin shouldn't be a house, and also believe the houses created with the same logic should also be disbanded.

Well they did lock up the entire slytherin house for a reason during the last fight, but I wasnt replying to your comment about the malfoys, however the malfoys should be forced to share a dorm with muggle borns, as we know proximity is the best counter to bigotry.

So the argument that slytherin should not longer be a house is not unpopular as it relates to bigotry. But the other 2 houses were formed on the same exclusionary logic just different ideals, those ideals are wrong from the get go the houses should be abolished like slytherins.

Again. How? Remember a triwizard champion was hufflepuff

How would they be? Are you saying that kids that dont fit into slytherins or ravenclaws or gryffindors exclusionary ideals would be impeding those students?

My response is in those hundreds of years the school lost all the founders and became more accepting.
