Breakdown here --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4KUYaCriaipe9U

[@ominous4422]

One thing you may not have noticed. That "Slytherin" statue appears to be holding the Rod of Asclepius, a relic from Greek Mythology that was supposed to have healing properties. Since, Sebastian's family is supposed to be cursed with him looking for a cure. It could explain why he is looking into Slytherin's history in the "Dark Arts" trailer.

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

Does this explain why there are so many dead animals in here? That put me off alot, but maybe they are part if the plot

[@Blagraite]

And do not forget to know that Salazar Slytherin wand was buried and from that, a tree were the leaves have healing attributes was born, so yeah, Salazar problaby mastered the healing magic!!

[@organisationxiv2927]

@@Phoenix-pm2qr It's the Slytherin common room. I hardly think a refuge for vegans and vegetarians. I'm glad that this game is dark and not a sickly-honey-suckle world of non-realism. The animals are likely to be trophies, symbols of triumphs against beasts and of masculinity.

[@knightofhearts4633]

I think the coolest thing about the Slytherin common room entrance is that it's keyed to Slytherin Students exclusively, because as you notice in the video, another student passes right in front of the wall and the door does not appear, that or it's password protected, or perhaps both.

[@___David__]

You ARE deep underground. According to the books, the Slytherin Common Room is in the dungeons, BELOW the Dark Lake. All the rock and the greenish light in the windows is quite appropriate 😉 In my case, over the last 20 years since the Internet came around, ALL the tests I've made have put me in Slytherin. So I'm overjoyed with this Common Room. It's also reminiscent of the film version, but on steroids. I have to admit, though... I also love the Ravenclaw Common Room.

My Wife thinks I'm a Ravenclaw, but 99% of all house quizzes I ever took, including Pottermore and Wizarding World, say Slytherin. My absolute favourite of those common rooms is the Hufflepuff one tho. Just amazing.

[@deniellechapman6911]

I'm so happy to be a Slytherin. My common room looks like a place I'd thrive in. Sunlight is overrated. I'd also like to see an exclusive library with books that are special to each common room with unique information or tips that you can only find in each house. Like, say a very well hidden passage you might find on your own, but being a Slytherin can tell you early?

[@TachibanaDono]

As a Slytherin I'm more than overjoyed for our common room But I love the aesthetic of the Ravenclaw common room And the Hufflepuff common room is super quaint and cozy

[@hpbruin]

I’m a Slytherin and love our common room, but Hufflepuff is actually my favorite room. Love that cozy, natural vibe.

[@oscarbaum6836]

Check your orientaton: The last shot you called the entrance is actually with the characters back to the statue and (according to your guess) the dorms. The "entrance staircase" that you dubbed is actually off to the right of that scene. You can see this from the tapestry/light/couch/pillar combo on the back right of the big room. BTW it is also directly across from the long corridor shot you called your favourite. Ill add timestamps and proof if you want. but effort only comes after demand soo... (also please try to correct me but Ive already drawn together my entire common room floor plan along with a rough sketch of potential house design for the unrevealed sections of my house(slyth). Especially if they stick to og map lore, cause Ive designed the entire floor plan of hoggies then :)

[@rashidatanimasawun1766]

I am a slytherin and i cannot wait for this to come out

The Hufflepuff is definitely my favorite one out of all them! Reminds me a lot of the Shire.

The intro to the common room is amazing!. Loving this series

[@DeadlyBeast205]

Not gonna lie, as an Gryffindor, I always felt like our common room looked so basic compared to the other three houses 😂

[@RetroRaconteur]

Haha. I'm actually more pleased after seeing this full reveal. I'm going to review it next!

[@rootntoot2215]

I like the common room but at the same time its supposed to be under the great lake and I got a pretty nasty fear of deep water so it all just seems weird like something that is both beautiful but terrifying

[@Ravennclaw]

Hi Gryffindor here

[@RetroRaconteur]

Thanks, Ravennia!

[@ALittleParanormal]

So cool! Did anyone else notice the black chess piece moving on its own on the Wizards Chess set? Ahhh! Love it

[@Rain0and0Thunder]

Slytherin here and I loved what they did with our common room, can't wait to get sorted in and be able to look around on my own. I want to explore everywhere though, and I'm wondering for the possible request board if we find the missing item if there might be an option to return it or keep it XD

[@caeradenoir5590]

I actually managed to find 25 serpents, I stopped paying attention to my hw to find them. As a Slytherin I absolutely LOVE our common room, it make me feel like i want to have a space like that irl too

[@mooshugaipan]

At 2:38, I feel that that main stair is actual the entrance into the common room. That's how we descend into the room in the original Sllytherin reveal months ago (something akin to 8:50 actually), plus later in the video we see side rooms with the vaulted tunnel (7:43) look and the other scene with the spiral stair (8:38), I feel those lead to the dorms, but I could be wrong. Like, sure the grand stair could lead to the dorms instead but then why make the entrance to the common room a little spiral stair tucked away down a hall? Doesn't seem like something Salazar would do.

[@StarGeezerTim]

Great breakdown as always, Retro! Something I spotted right away (you picked up on it at least in part at 7:12), the skull on the table appears to be that of a smilodon or "saber-toothed cat", a very real (as opposed to "fantastic") beast from the Americas which went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Looks like it's in good shape too. Keep 'em comin', bud! 👍🏼

[@RetroRaconteur]

Nice catch! Yeah, I started to try and figure out what all the bones were and realized the video would be much longer and I'd probably guess wrong anyway 🤣 I feel pretty confident about the zouwu head in the waterfall though!

[@nightmaresquad7453]

Maybe some of the real life extinct animals are secretly still alive in the wizarding world? That would be a fun way to make it look like fantastic beasts once freely roamed the earth as well :)

[@matthewsweeney9454]

So excited to see my common room! I feel ill spend so much time alone just walking around the common room marveling at everything

[@leemotosuwa]

The best part of a New trailer is the breakdowns from the youtubers 😍

[@RetroRaconteur]

And there’s SO…MUCH…to break down!

[@dmstrawberrycocoaweb9254]

I have to say (as a proud Slytherin) this might be the 1800's, but that door, instead of a wall entrance is very clever. The one thing i love about this house, is that if you have a certain skill, like eg; speaking to snakes, then only a Slytherin would be able to do that. So only a Slytherin can see a magical door to place to their home. I love the concept of exclusivity with this house. GREEN AND SILVER 4 LYFE

[@Linadhin]

Am I the only one that saw the floating chess piece on the board? Maybe it's a trick of the camera but I swear a black piece is floating, slightly clipped into the head of a white piece there. Also, In ever single test I've ever done, I've always been a Slytherin. Cool to see what they've done with the place and look forward to exploring it. The other common-rooms are nice, but something about these old stone walls, and even the fact that it's underground give off a nice vibe. It almost gives a sense of permanance that the others don't give. Whilst Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are fancy and flashy, they seem more like form over function, and with them being built into towers, that gives me the impression they are additions, if that makes sense? whereas the Slytherin common-room has a strong feeling of "We are here to stay. Forever." Like you can have your flashy stuff, but Slytherin is baked into the foundations of Hogwarts. literally.

[@danielledantzer0990]

I plan on playing multiple times so I can fully explore each common room. Can't wait for February!!!!

[@hey.rino.]

Everyone is very cool and so lovely detailed! it's insane. I have to say, that I like my common room the most 🙈 I'm Ravenclaw and I love every square inch of what I've seen so far.

[@ayshell]

Same, the ravenclaw room looks so perfect with all the astrology, art, books and instruments around. Makes you appreciate knowledge, art and creativity in all its forms and how our minds can take us in so many place. Not to mention how regal, balanced and majestic it looks.

[@DarthSanguine]

7:00 Doubtful - Quirrel was a Ravenclaw, so if anything it'd be the harp in the Ravenclaw common room he'd use, or his own.

[@RetroRaconteur]

He did have Voldemort in his head though…and he was a Slytherin 😆

[@edwardrhoades6957]

1:29 The window/light source above the fireplace has a serpent design.

[@edenn012]

The wizard on the tapestry is Merlin. He was a parseltongue and was sorted into slytherin, he's their pride because he is the most famous wizard in history. But it's HP cannon that he was good and stuck up for muggles.

I dunno why, and have never really thought about it before, but I do love a good notice board in games. There's something extra immersive about going up to one of them and for some reason it always feels like an actual person left requests on a board.

As a Slytherin. I love my common room. The detail they've gone into is amazing.

[@starman1004]

Staring into the unknown abyss of the black lake through the common room windows fits Slytherin perfectly. By embracing the unknown and persevering through uncertainties in life, this is how we become more powerful.

I think the suits of armour are going to be like magical guardians. If you look closely at the end of the Gryffindor common room reveal one of the suits of armour moves slightly.

Is there a portrait of Salazar Slytherin in the common room? I've heard every common room apart from Gryffindor has a founder's portrait, but I didn't notice a Slytherin portrait in the tour..

[@FiendFyreNyx]

I wonder if they went in to a lot of detail and put names on all or many of the portraits so we can learn who they are. Or possibly even having many of them speak and tell us who they are. It also would be cool but a lot to add to the game if they had side quests given to us by some of the talking portraits.

[@nightmaresquad7453]

I wouldn't think so, there was a scene in the video for the Hufflepuff common room where they literally had the same painting twice in 1 shot. If they're not unique, I don't think they'll all have names.

[@jp_ravenfire]

Only reason I can think of why a Ravenclaw crest would be in Slytherin is a bit of a stretch; Rowena Ravenclaw's two sisters married into the Black and Lestrange families (which both have ravens in their family crest, at least in the Wizarding World. IRL, Lestrange has a lion on their crest.)

[@auxity7733]

Something that I’d want for HL is where random students can come and interact with you from time to time

[@looZELDAool]

Proud Slytherin here!!! 🐍

[@mishiara5499]

I do hate the floor lamps with the frills on it. On some level they almost brings the thought of cave mushrooms that I like, but they are not exaggerated enough for it - and the frills/tussles really ruins it . Open flames, green or silver flames even for the color of the house, feels more fitting for a cave / dungeon setting.

[@organisationxiv2927]

My theory about the 'Ravenclaw' symbol is that if two of the founding members of Hogwarts should be similar, in terms of what they appreciate and in terms of their ideas, it would definitely have been Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Slytherin was probably cool and calculating, and probably valued intelligence. Rowena Ravenclaw, like all true intellectuals, could probably be a cold and calculating, and highly discerning individual (if she had to be; not that she was). That isn't to say they're similar, but out of the four founding members, I think that Ravenclaw and Slytherin would have been the most appreciative of one another. Remember there was unity amongst the founding members before the decision was made to admit those from non-pure families and muggle-borns as students. I can completely see Ravenclaws and Slytherins being the most similar to one another, or working in easiest cohesion in pursuit of a goal than any of the other founding members of Hogwarts. Ambition and intellect often go hand-in-hand, and much is written in literature about the cold, calculating intellectual mind. I reiterate: I am not saying that Ravenclaws are ultimately like Slytherins, but that they are likely to be more closely related than either Gryffindors or Hufflepuffs. Perhaps Salazar had a love affair with Rowena. :p

My second fav is the Gryffindore common room which is hidden behind the portrait of the fat lady and there is a tunnel that leads you to it. And the G common room is also BIG there are many things to explore. My third fav common room is the Ravenclaw common room. In order to get entrance you have to solve a riddle. The common room is really good all the blues inside and the books, windows. Everything is just amazing. The Huffelpuff common room is really good.
