The Life Of Horace Slughorn

Professor Horace Eugene Flaccus Slughorn was a pure-blood wizard. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and sorted into Slytherin house before returning in 1931 to teach as Potions Master. He later served as Head of Slytherin House, before surprisedly retiring 50 years later in 1981.

I really love that slughorn was there to diverge the expectation that all Slytherins were bad.

[@jalenl.7603]

Whenever you do the life of a character, you always make their actions more understandable and further change our perception of who they truly are. Thank you for that!

[@taylorjohnson9104]

Jalen L. Definitely

[@lokiisontheinternet9912]

Jalen L. Your right🤔

[@tiffineetramel8327]

I was gonna say this as well!

[@gbear285]

I like Horace Slughorn. I know he's far from perfect, even if just in the scope of the story, but at his heart he's a good guy. Someone recently described him as a counterpart of Wormtail, drawn to power, somewhat cowardly, and seemingly sorted into the wrong house. Horace once said that given the choice a Slytherin would always choose to save his own life. However, in returning to the castle and putting his own life on the line to battle Voldemort directly, he did the opposite of Wormtail who killed innocent people and framed Sirius to save his own life. Horace, much like Draco later in life, are great examples of the good that can come from Slytherin House. This was perhaps my favorite episode yet. It was great to have an extended episode devoted to such a great character.

[@joshuadaltilia8480]

The man had a pure heart of gold, God bless him

[@josiatokirina1788]

Slughorn is one of my favorite professors and characters along with Professor Lupine and Professor Minerva MacGonnical. Thank You for story!

[@sauceboss9610]

I really love Slughorn as a character. He is just so wrecked with grief that he is the one that gave rise to the darkest wizard of all time that he runs and hide than face the truth , it really is a great showing that not all great characters have to be brave all the time that there can be characters that do something to help someone and it backfires greatly and how that shame and guilt can destroy you. really love how the movie Slughorn looks as he give the true memory to Harry, like he is putting his whole life, career, and reputation on the line but he just cant bare the pain anymore.

[@Leto85]

Incredible how such a long lifespan could fit in two books. It's so brilliant how interesting the story remains in such unique ways no matter from which character's perspective you look at it.

[@albussd]

Dumbledore's kindness always brightens my heart.

Harry Potter Folklore, *Dumbledore put you up to this, didn't he? DIDN'T HE?*

[@rubenfrancq2454]

To me, this is one of your best videos. Slughorn's arc and evolution are well-explained, I think. It actually made me see him in a different way. Kudos, man!

[@NaelbaFineArt]

I love this, Horace usually gets ignored but his character really grows throughout the stories. I have always seen him as a mirror image of peter pettigrew. Both surrounded themselves with those they felt they could benefit from or gain protection from but when faced with their fears of Voldemort they both stood at the fork in the road and went down different paths. one turned against his friends when the other fought alongside them.

[@borninsapphaire2005]

I said this on the last video, but these really are beautiful and give so much life to these characters. Your background music and voice create an almost haunting storytelling, and for some reason I almost cried when you talked about what he did during the last War. Man, these are great!

[@williamroden8495]

Dean, I have to let you know I think this is your Olympic Gold Metal Winner of all of your videos to date. Your attention to the details and the nuiances of description in this is positively perfection! You do not try to make the man himself perfect, but you show an excellent example of a Slytherin that is so very different from Salazar. Slughorn is one of my favorite characters. (And Jim Broadbent has been one of my favorite actors for 30+ years). EXCELLENT!!!

[@jomypowers]

seriously one of your best and most insightful yet! what a remarkable , century+long narrative was written about just one character in less than 2 books... jk rowling continues to ever amaze me!!!

[@sweetlady3651]

Excellent as usual im 48 yrs and i really enjoy your commentary.and look forward to your weekly post

[@thepiqueblinders5140]

Fortnite Sam he is because if you check his videos he has a grandchild.

[@stephman3154]

Wow this actually changed my perception of Slughorn - the movies totally don't do him justice!

[@gooberfleming]

Another great video.. so glad I found your channel

[@sofiaps7]

Ultimately one of my favorite channels and just the best place to go to, if you have a question about someone, keep up the great work

[@victoriarichardson1471]

Professor Slughorn was one of my favorite Professors after McGonagall and Snape and Dumbledore of course.

[@i39darkblade]

I think he’s EVERYONE’S favorite slytherin except for maybe snape or Draco. (They technically were around in the books the longest also mentioning all of Snapes contributions)

Horace Slughorn is one of my favorite characters, even if he was only in the last two books.

He was born a day before my bday!!!

[@abrakadabra6364]

If the new generation of Slytherin are as good as him, the magical world would be a better place.

[@Brandonian]

Finally, not all Slytherins are evil. Professor Slughorn was humble, noble, and was outrageously brave to take on Lord Voldemort and live to tell the tale. We Slytherins gotta stick together to achieve greatness. Slughorn is an example of that.

[@quinnalex8763]

Amazing this was an important character that needed to be known!!!

Hey Dean. My name's Wayne. I just came across your channel on KZbin and I love your Harry Potter videos. I think I've watched them all 3 of 4 times. Would you be able to do a video on The Life of The Patil sisters, including there magical skill and how they fought in the battle of Hogwarts. :)

[@Tesseract.2012]

Considering that Slughorn is younger then Dumbledore but older then McGonagall, he's somewhere at Hogwarts at the time of the Fantastic Beasts time frame.

Slughorn reminds me a lot of some of my high school and college teachers, although they were not nearly so hungry for connections in recognizing the great potential and ambition of the women they taught. That's right, I went to a single sex high school and then a women's college. "Half-Blood Prince" was the book that got me to see that nothing is ever as black or as white as it seems, especially in the case of Voldemort and his old mentor Slughorn.

Again can you please do a video on what would have happened if Harry never met Ron! Great video! Also I had no idea that some snakes( don't get me wrong I'm part Slytherin and don't like that people,hate slytherins) came back to help at the Battle of Hogwarts!

[@miggie2099]

he is a true slytherin he wants power and nothing more no world domination for him

[@IG7799-c4u]

I've noticed a slight parallel between both Lockhart and Slughorn. Both were persuaded to teach at Hogwarts (prior to this they were both reluctant to take up the post) when they were both informed about Harry Potter being a student there, and that they would have the honour of saying in years to come that they had the privilege of being his teacher at one point or another. I think it's interesting that the decisive point of them taking up a teachers post was the mention of Harry potter being at Hogwarts. Lockhart doing it as to promote himself and rocket his fame beyond that it was already at. Slughorn on the other hand wanted something similar, as he wanted to "collect" Harry and have him as part of his newly formed "Slug Club". Make of this what you will, I just thought it was an interesting parallel to bring up.

Great video, though would disagree that his feelings on learning of voldemorts death at the end of the first wizarding war were purely happiness/relief, since the events that caused voldemorts 'death' involved the death of Lily, a much loved student of his.
