The points they got for defeating fucking voldemort is only 10 more than that got deducted when they were roaming around at night (and they had to serve detention for that too).

I imagine aftwr the final fight in the 7tb book/8th film.

"Guys, okey, you defended the school and all, but you created a mess, -1000 points to all houses except slytherings who were in prison"

Why did this make me laugh so hard

Because from the way Rowling wrote the Slytherins.... being evil is like their core value, not aMbiTion or cUnNiNg

I think Rowling retconned this after the final book was released, saying Slughorn came back with a small army of slytherins to combat voldemort, to give slytherin a bit of positive exposure.

Not sure how that worked out specifically, but apparently it was a verified retcon.

She also retconed the skin of hermione so I don't care what she says

She just said that because people were hating on the actress playing Hermione in The Cursed Child

I don't think the world is ready for software patches for books.

She wrote what she wrote, what even is a "verified retcon"?

She twitted "Harry should have been with Hermione". Like, lady, you wrote the story.

I'm not joking when I say that she once said

>Hogwarts didn't always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence.

The above is a direct quote

Lol. If you could do that, why even adopt modern plumbing. Complete waste.

Well roaming at night is explicitly against the rules and there's nothing in the handbook about defeating dark wizards.

Malfoy was also roaming at night and yet he got fewer points deducted

Notoday t1_iy9iugd wrote

He got the same 50 points deducted as the protagonists. There were 3 of them, hence the 150 points. At least in the movie.

sulris t1_iy9ypg8 wrote

To be fair they were also roaming at night when they defeated voldy so they should have lost an additional 150 points as well.
