Gryffindor is the Most TOXIC Hogwarts Ho...

Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

When we’re first exposed to the Harry Potter story, Gryffindor are introduced as the ‘good’ guys. They can’t do any wrong, can they?


Slytherin Bad. Gryffindor good.

Because when you actually look past the golden glow of Gryffindor House — past the roaring lion mascot, the impressive Quidditch performances, and the constant rule-breaking that somehow always gets rewarded 100 house points at the end of the year — what you start to see is a culture that’s not exactly representative of moral superiority or emotional maturity.
