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.

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

[@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.

[@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]

[@tiffineetramel8327]

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

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!

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@adeledreamsx]

Slughorn is actually very interesting!

[@palemoonlight96]

Unknown fact: he also served as a maester at the citadel 😂😂

He also went to Narnia as a kid😂

[@jerrythemouse7017]

He also talked to a talking bear that eats........marmalade. (Watch Paddington 2! Professor Moody will be there as a chef!)

He also used to be a tiny person who would borrow things from regular humans.

[@madtortuga]

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!

[@makhnolelong177]

Very good video. What I like most was the annalytics of the character at the end.

[@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.

[@aodhanbrannigan22]

Slughorn is an example of not all Slytherin is evil as well as other people like regulas Snape or andromena Tonks

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.

Professor Slughorn brings honor to the Slytherin house

[@ChedarV]

Are you sure it was in 1943 when Tom asked Slughorn about the horcruxes? In that year the chamber of secrets was opened, and they make Voldermort look younger than in the Half Blood Prince than in The Chamber of Secrets

[@ChedarV]

Maybe you are right. But the fact that they make him look way younger in the HBP confuses me

[@LaneyStudios5]

@@ChedarV Isn't the HBP actor a nephew of Ralph Fiennes? Maybe it just boiled down to a casting choice

[@stephharris8260]

He got the right year it is just the other actor did look younger

Do what if Sirius Black was a supporter of lord voldemort

[@kahealaninakoa5921]

Pettigrew wouldn’t be dead . But would still probably hide and be the weasleys pet. Black prob wouldn’t breakout until bellatrix did . And Pettigrew would still hide as a rat. Lupin and black would duel. Black would prob kill lupin then go back to Azkaban or get the dementors kiss.

Please could you do the life of Sirius Black as he's my favourite Harry Potter character.

[@Anu_Sol]

Slughorn is a true hero. Potter should have named one of his children after him.

[@wellingtonsmith4998]

Flackus???? well, that's not as bad as Bilius, i guess. But seriously, this was a wonderfully complete and detailed review of how we should face our failures, that we should not wait to find forgiveness and amend our past behaviour. also, Dean, could you make a video on how students got into the Slugclub? Like, why was Blaise there? Why was Ginney there?

[@David-nw4nk]

Slughorn favorite students were Tom Riddle (before he becomes Voldemort) and Lily.

[@kadindarklord]

We do know that Tom kept at least one of his promises. The one not to tell anyone and told him about creating them. Also Tom made 7 Horcruxes. Although only a maximum of 7 pieces of soul were in play at once.

[@karlbergen6826]

Voldemort made his first Horcrux somewhat around 1943 during the summer. Later he killed Myrtle Warren (Moaning Myrtle) using the basilisk. He framed Hagrid for that. He was a prefect by then but it was not his final year. I think he put this question to Slughorn to recruit him into his followers. I think he already knew the answer to the question he asked Slughorn. He was not looking for information,simply a follower. He could tell Slughorn would not follow him. While Slughorn thought Tom was actually asking about Horcruxes Tom already knew all about it.

[@HarryPotterFolklore]

the video is 14mins long...youtube run more ads when a vid is 10mins or longer, it's a reward for the 20-30+ hours of hard work put into each video..

I have a question, how does half breeds in the Harry Potter universe works? Like for example Hagrid's father is a human and his mother is a giant but how did they procreate to make Hagrid? aren't the size and proportions of their body different? As well as Madame Maxime.

Kind of random love your vids but, the hallows necklace given to credence by graves/grindelwald automatically calls him when it’s touched is similar to the one xenophilius has in the Harry Potter saga have you noticed when he touched it at the wedding the death eaters came and again in the house when he called the death eaters claiming to have caught Harry Potter ? Can you make a video on how the necklace works and why it’s so similar to the other, is it the same necklace passed down ? Did Voldemort know the power the necklace held ?

[@davesmith4839]

I have a question, during the year that Snape was headmaster, was Slughorn the official head of Slytherin again or did one of the Carrow siblings hold that title officially?

[@johnnyscifi]

Harry Potter is born in the same year as me...1981

[@chelleywill3049]

Being that Voldemort cursed DODA teacher's position is it possible that Dumbledore knew of the curse and decided to put Slughorn back into defense off dark arts? Then, i also thought: why give Snape the position if he knew it was curse?
