Pretty sure it was specifically made to keep slitherin house pissed off enough so they could mk ultra a bunch of edgy nazi wizards and maintain the ministry hegemony over Wizarding by creating willful boogeyman who didn't realize they were just a pawn of the system. In that light Dumbledore and all the teachers at hogfarts are actual brainteasers using gaslighting to create evil adults from their students
It's supposed to measure how well a group of students as a whole respects the authority of the teachers. Since students are graded as a group, it also promotes self-policing within the student group.
It's a social control mechanism that helps the minority (teachers) rule the majority (students), and also serves to make the students get used to such control mechanisms.
IDK if you can really come up with a better one though, just a different one.
The purpose is to produce a self regulating student body by collectively punishing groups for the misdeeds of individuals.
In book 1 Harry is far more miserable after being caught out of bed at nigh because he was ostracized for losing house points than he was for serving detention.

So, basically, Ravenclaw always comes first, Gryffindoor always comes last. Making the whole thing a competition between Slytherin and Hufflepuff for second place.
You know what, I'd take it over the current system.
i was in an actual boarding school with actual houses that had a 'competition' with points for inter house sports and other competitions long before harry potter was a thing. it was a brutal place with a lot of serious violence especially by prefects( breaking fingers, arm dislocations, broken bones, waterboarding). A lot of kids committed suicide (2% suicide rate). I still have nightmares about it.
One kid who has had his arm dislocated for speaking at night after lights out was going to have it done again for annoying another prefect. They would get the victim on the floor with the shoulder in an open door, the armpit against the doorframe and slam the door until the shoulder broke or the 'arm popped'. These kind of punishments happened at night so he was waiting all day for it to happen and could not take it so he jumped off a roof head first onto concrete. The school used cover up the injuries by saying they happened in sport and a culture of not ratting was literally beaten into you. Points were not used as punishment, food and visits were. You had a certain number of tickets 2 or 4 per three months that allowed your family to visit you or maybe go out with them for a few hours. This was important because they might give you a bag of food and stuff like books or sweets/candy. So if someone for example tried to run away, then his whole dormitory or class would be collectively punished and loose a visitation ticket or have the food ' eats' cut by loosing one meal a day. Other punishments included running up and down a hill until you collapsed. It was a nightmarish place. You respond by 'splitting; internally into the real you hidden inside and a different and very brutal outside 'defender' person and you never recover from it. There may be well run version but I doubt it. The nature of young boys and teens is to be violent and cruel against any perceived weakness or failure to conform when placed together. It was deliberate cruelty to create a certain type of person that makes a good military officer or administrator who can do awful things.
because once you have seen someone who has died by strangulation it becomes less of an appealing option. You are there and there is no escape except death, your own family will dump you back and if you escape and are caught 'running away' no one is allowed sleep until you are caught and loose visitation so you will be beaten and have a finger on each hand broken by the other boys to stop you running away again too soon. I remember one kid who was about 11 who had started that year, so late and the screams he made when he wass having his fingers broken after running away. He'd brought a teddy bear or something stupid for his age and naturally it had been taken and torn apart so he ran away. To break fingers the bot was held and one finger put on top of a wooden desk and a thick ruler ( it was called a folded measure) laid on it, this was hit hard with anything that could be used as a hammer. The sounds that kid made was like a cat dropped in scalded water. Anyway they fricked it up so he had to have the finger amputated. The whole dormitory of 30 was lying in complete silence and all you could here was him begging and then screaming. It was an awful place and it taught me that people are all ultimately basically cruel, mean, selfish and evil .
>The nature of young boys and teens is to be violent and cruel against any perceived weakness or failure to conform when placed together.
It's not, actually. That's just what happens to boarding school kids because of the system they're put in. Here's a real life Lord of The Flies situation where the kids simply helped and took care of each other, because they hadn't been raised in an institution designed to raise politicians/psychopaths: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months
Not psychopaths. Split. Those that make it through the process are often very dangerous and able people with the skills of abilities of two people in one body.
>Why you didn't rebel homosexual ?
NTA but I am stronger than you and better than you in every way. You are weak, untested, unforged and worthless.....you can't even imagine the beating and terror you might live in because you are soft and stupid.

why not just kill them all?
Seriously if your parents hate you this much and these people hate you this much.
Might as well just kill them.
>He'd brought a teddy bear or something stupid for his age and naturally it had been taken and torn apart so he ran away
Why did he run away because they destroyed his toy? How is that the proper reaction?
There was no sexual abuse. Any suspicion of homosexuality was absolute assurance of extreme violence. This is quite normal, contrary to the fantasies of middle aged woman heterosexuals (the majority) do not tolerate or like homosexuals. One of the most terrifying punishments was for homosexuality or being suspected of it, which was being beaten until the testicles ruptured. I only remember that happening once. That child left the school and was not seen again.
No idea what you think the big deal is. Modern public education strives for a 42% suicide rate. They’re very open about this. I would happily pay tens of thousands annually to lower my children’s chances of suicide by forty percent. What, would you not? That makes you a monster.

there's a swedish movie about a boarding school called Ondskan (The Evil) which is very lauded and has lots of scenes with abuse, but i think it's kind of shit and the main character is a blatant underdog mary sue standin for the commie literal soviet spy author
I was a tired lad and fell asleep a lot in English class freshman year when we read this—I didn’t really like it when we read it yet I strangely remember a decent amount from it. Weirdly though, this book is actually set in Maine, not England
Swedes have Ondskan, where the author claims it's based on his real-life experiences at a real boarding school he went to and wrote negative articles about to reveal what a bad school it was, but even then the more violent parts of the book/movie were obviously played up and he's made no attempt to pretend like those parts were real. It's probably got to do with Britain's more hardcore take on class structure.

They used to call it gayging in the British school system (no joke look it up).
A freshman would gay for an older boy - running his errands/ doing his chores and generally being his b***h. The older boy was called his gaymaster and was expected to reward his gay with a monetary tip at the end of the school year.
If your gaymaster was particularly demanding leaving you exhausted, you were said to be "gayged out".

I've seen some tough topics but this just hurt. 8 year old boys are so innocent, and yet those fricking mothers are just...what the frick >I'm glad I don't have a telephone, because they'd just keep ringing me to take them home >I keep hearing about them running away and then asking to stay here but I can't be bothered.
What the frick is wrong with Bong mothers
What decade were you at this school? Where were the parents through all of this? It's hard to imagine that level of child abuse going unnoticed in the last 40 years or so.
ahh youre the ones who got broken the most. the ironic part is its awlays the kids that got bullied the most who are the most loyal because they never fit in and are still desperate for approval. Always the same personality type. Bottom b***h
>Where were the parents through all of this?
my mother was nuts my father thought i would be better off away
>It's hard to imagine that level of child abuse going unnoticed in the last 40 years or so.
it was very common. different times, corporal punishment with a leather covered metal strap on the hand was legal and normal. You would not feel your hand for a day afterwards. It was very brutal and the state coroner co-operated and put down suicides as natural deaths for the parents sake on request from them, saved embarrassment.
>2% suicide rate
WHAT. THE. FRICK.
yes out of every year of 60 there were one sometimes two deaths also ;accidental' deaths like broken backs
I was in a European institution and most of my class became military officers. The English are ahead in studying what it does to people. You end up with two people in you (this is not schizophrenia, quite different) who don;t like each other and have different abilities, one may play piano, the other may speak French. There is an outie person and an inside person and gradually the outside become the main driver and the inside person is a prisoner inside. The outside person also has far greater tolerance of pain and will never loose face. Its hard to explain. Just don't send your children to boarding schools. The people who run them are not there to provide a service to you or your children but to the institutions that they are preparing these children for, typically military, political etc and the know that not all the children will make it through the spitting and some will die or be harmed for life. I can hold a lighter under my hand until the skin blackens without moving, a pretty useless ability, you can figure out how I got that.

I was in an Anglo boarding school. It’s nowhere near as bad as that here and was actually quite good fun. Huge emphasis on sport of course. There were some nasty characters and a bit of bullying but nothing as extreme as bones being intentionally broken. Also produces a lot of infantry and cavalry officers though, unlike Europeans, they actually go to war from time to time.
My friend killed himself in boarding school when he was 14 or 15. He hung himself. He had had a beating and broken some ribs so he got up and hung himself in the toilets in the middle of the night.
I remember when he got up to kill himself and told me. I though it was a very sensible thing to do and wished him good luck with it. C'est la vie or c'est ne pas vie to be more correct.

former teacher at one of Scotland’s most prestigious private schools who faced a catalogue of abuse charges covering a 20-year period will not stand trial, because of ill health.
Professor Dumbledore, 88, was facing a total of 37 allegations relating to violence and torture he is alleged to have inflicted on 35 schoolboys from February 1967 to December 1987 while he taught at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizzardry.
Court papers allege Dumbledore struck children with implements including a wooden bat called a clacken, a snooker cue and a golf club, as well as choking several victims by securing their school ties to a window blind and causing the tie to tighten around their necks.
The former teacher is also alleged to have forced children to sleep in soiled bedclothes, ordered them to sit in freezing cold baths and punished them by making them dig in a garden without adequate clothing in cold weather.
The court papers also allege he locked some boys in a garden shed for a prolonged time and on one occasion made a boy remove his clothes and placed a hosepipe between the child’s buttocks as a punishment for bed-wetting.
Browlee did not attend Edinburgh sheriff court on Thursday, and Andrew Seggie, defending, said his client was unfit to attend court or to stand trial due to ill health.
Graeme Clark, prosecuting, said the crown agreed that “Professor Dumbledore is unfit for trial and the trial cannot proceed” after receiving a medical report.
Dumbledore is alleged to have abused pupils between February 1967 and December 1987.
Clark said: “[The report states] that he is unable to participate in a trial, follow the course of the trial, take in new information and unable to keep concentration. He won’t be able to follow the course of trial and will be overwhelmed in the course of the trial and will display behaviours such as reciting Latin and football facts.”
The fiscal depute added that all future hearings would be held in Dumbledore’s absence, with an examination of facts hearing, where witnesses would give evidence about their experience while attending the school, scheduled for next March and expected to run for about 15 days.
In a statement, Giles Moffatt of the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizzardry Survivors group welcomed the decision, describing it as “truly momentous”.
Moffatt said: “For the first time in decades justice is on the horizon. From 11 March 2024, every complainer will be able to give their accounts of the violence cruelty and abuse inflicted by Professor Dumbledore.
“As the Scottish child abuse inquiry revealed in August, Dumbledore was a career-long sadist who will be remembered for his cruelty, his violence, and nothing good. We thank the authorities for setting a trial date with minimal delay.”
In August, former Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizzardry pupils including the broadcaster Nicky Campbell gave 14 gruelling days of evidence to the inquiry, detailing the physical, sexual and psychological abuse meted out by a number of staff. Now men in middle age, some wept as they described a culture of violence, fear, silence and shame, where severe beatings, voyeurism and sexual assaults were so normalised that pupils were left with “no compass”.
During the hearings, there was frequent commendation of the work of the journalist Alex Renton, whose BBC Radio 4 documentary series In Dark Corners about abuse in Britain’s elite private schools prompted Campbell to reveal his own abuse. It resulted in a flood of other former pupils coming forward.
Renton’s latest examination of the ongoing fight for justice, My Teacher the Abuser: Fighting for Justice, is on BBC One on 30 November. It concerns in particular the case of Iain Wares, an allegedly serial abuser dubbed “Jimmy Savile mark II” by the SNP MP Ian Blackford. Wares, 83, remains at liberty in South Africa, where he is fighting extradition to face charges relating to his time teaching at the academy and also at Fettes College during the 60s and 70s.
Competition breeds success. A society that doesn’t reward hard work is stagnate society that by definition is destined to crumble and die. It’s why communism never works.

https://www.worldhistory.org/article/342/agoge-the-spartan-education-program/
Participation by Spartan males in the agoge (pronounced ah-go-GAY in ancient Greek and ah-GOJ-uh in modern English) was mandatory. Spartan girls were not allowed to join but were educated at home by their mothers or trainers. Boys entered the agoge at the age of 7 and graduated around the age of 30 at which time they were allowed to marry and start a family.
For the first five years in the agoge, between the age of 7-12, boys were taught to read and write, but the program’s emphasis was on endurance events, athletic competitions, military prowess,
During this period, the child soldiers were also taught to steal, especially to steal food, as they were fed little. If they were successful, even if the theft was detected afterward and the culprit clearly suspected, no punishment was given; if they were caught, they were severely beaten. Stealing was considered an important survival skill and so it was not the act of theft that was punished, it was the carelessness exhibited in getting caught. In the initiate stage, the focus of the program was on instilling essential skills which would enable one not only to survive but conquer. The boys had to literally make their own beds – as in construct them – from rough reeds that grew by the river they had to break by hand without using a knife.
Based. It’s crazy that we had civilisation almost figured out millennia ago but are falling backwards now.
Stealing from thy neighbour is cringe and Black personpilled tho. Tax evasion and other forms of “stealing” from the government is based

spartans lived to a large degree like african child soldiers, who experience massive degree of rapes both from their stronger peers and their adult supervisors, so it's safe to say that spartans were gayraped. They also produced nothing of cultural value and were mediocre militarily as far as polises go. The legend of sparta is just a product of athenian chuds marveling at this totally based society, like tankies praising north korea or something.

It is the old way. In any making process there will be defects and spoilage.

"You have all heard the discourtesy directed at a teacher and know the rules. Half of you will receive no food for 3 days. When I return half a list of names. You may punish the instigator and correct them as you see fit tonight so that this does not happen to you again but do not mark their face or cause me inconvenience."
They used turn of the hot water and remove the bottom half of the windows in my place as punishment during winter. It would get down to zero and there would be frost on the blankets so you had to learn to sleep with a pillowcase on your head to avoid frostbite
The question i always had was how do they get anyone to give a shit about it at age 16-17?
like again, kids book i know,
but i kinda feel like even in the universe of Harry Potter where wizards apparently never get high or have sex before 17 it be pretty hard to wrangle fred and george types to care that much about >>>le house cup
in their OWL years.
Like notice how Umbridge doesn't even bother taking away points from Griftendoor when she's screaming at Harry when he claims he saw Voldemore return??
She just gave him detention.
Its like the point system is only there for the first and second years and everyone past that (understandably) is like doing their own fricking thing and basically just going to a highschool with magic.
Actual boarding school
"He claims he witnessed children being set on fire and having their "genitals mutilated from gang beatings with boots".
He said: "I was a child trapped in a madhouse of violence, and sexual and emotional abuse. Even now, decades later, remembering it can make me curl up and cry.
"We were beaten with hockey sticks and cricket bats daily. Beds were urinated and defecated on by our tormentors."
He also claims to have been whipped with belt buckles, thrown down flights of stairs, waterboarded in dirty toilets, locked in trunks and strangled.
"I was stabbed with compasses, fly-kicked in the stomach," he said. "Every day was a cross between The Purge and The Running Man.""
This is what boarding schools are actually like but there is a code of silence.
"Mr Bell claims many other pupils suffered similar torment and a large number participated in the violence. He added: ‘During the night you’d be dragged from your bed by up to 14 older boys.
‘You’d be beaten and carried through the building screaming, and thrown into a bath of cold water, your head cracking off the enamel."
‘I was physically assaulted by dozens of boys at I was thrown head first off a cliff, my face and spine were stamped on with rugby boots. My nose was broken, my face split open.’"
Mr Bell, who now lives in Canada with his wife and children, says he suffers from complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
when poor kids get in trouble they get taken from their families sent to young offenders and juvenile hall and beaten by other kids and kill themselves. when wealthy parents want to get rid of a child they send them to boarding school to be beaten by other kids and kill themselves. It's all the same.
Anyway all suicides in boarding schools are accidents because children don't know really what suicide is which is why they are called misadventures and

There are a lot of weak gays in this thread that need to pull themselves together and get their game face on. Its cringe letting a whining alter out like that,. No one could do what we do without having been to boarding schools.

Shouldnt they be in 10000s? Hermione on her own could wrack up a hundred per lesson
Just to encourage the kids to participate. My school had teams for Accelerated Reader points, and the guy who went on to be our valedictorian read like 100 books.
Nah there's a lot of sexual shit that happens at boarding school.
An old favourite is 'soggy biscuit' where a group of lads take it in turns to cum on a digestive or similar. Whoever has the biscuit when it breaks must eat it.
Lot of buggery as well I think.
Heard of one game called poo mountain which is exactly what is sounds like.
Anyways point being elite anglos/Germans are forged in steel which is why we rule over the plebs.
They would just waste it all.
In book 3 Harry makes the sensible decision to not buy a firebolt because his inheritance was not infinite.
Also in book 3 the Weasly's win the Wizard lottery and spend it all over the summer. By book 4 Ron is wearing 200 year old dress robes.
>By book 4 Ron is wearing 200 year old dress robes.
That part tickled my 'tism as a kid. They can clearly just keep repairing ancient clothes and the repair spell is so fricking easy that Hermione can do it to Harry's glasses in the first book before she's even set foot in Hogwarts. She didn't even fricking know magic existed a couple of months ago and she's already mastered it! There's zero reason why any wizard like Lupin should have to walk around with worn clothes and bags.
What should be happening is that Ron's stuck wearing his great-grandpas robes whenever they're out of their Hogwarts uniform, which has stayed the same for generations to make the kids equals, while the rich kids like Malfoy shows up with the newest Wizard-fashion from France whenever they're allowed to wear their own clothes, with robes cut in different ways and whatever colour or pattern is the hottest new thing. Mirroring how fashion worked for the Landed Gentry that wizards are obviously based on, where you tried to keep up with what was fashionable at Court or in Town, with country bumpkin aristocrats wearing last year's fashion because they haven't seen the new stuff. Ron should be perpetually bullied for wearing unfashionable hand-me-downs from two centuries ago and desperately trying to use sewing-magic to make them look a bit better.
jesus christ how utterly fricking disgusting. I wanted a story about the dangers of unchecked authority and children isolated, not a homosexuals masturbatory story about boy scouts that only happened in his imagination. Why do you have this saved
Seconded. There is something very wrong with the anon who saved and reposted this weird ass little kid fantasy bullshit. It's not even borderline believable, just gross
You guys don't get it. Modern UK may be a liberal country but it's simultaneously conservative and backwards in many ways because we haven't had a violent revolution since the 1600s and haven't experienced being militarily conquered since 1066. Think about it - the British ruling class and its system has been in place for a thousand years. British people don't see anything weird about this but literally every other country has a change of system much nearer in memory.
The ruling class of the UK start off as the product of boarding schools on which the Hogwards was based around, and similar to anon described here. These people go through the boarding school system and then they go to Oxbridge, networking with similar people. Some of them are selected as MPs, some go into the military, some go into industry. These people are the administrator class. It's happening today the same as it happened for hundreds of years
>but what about the current brown PM. He's brown, it's different now
Sunak was born in Southampton to parents of Indian descent who immigrated to Britain from East Africa in the 1960s. He was educated at Winchester College, studied philosophy, politics and economics at Lincoln College, Oxford, and earned an MBA from Stanford University in California as a Fulbright Scholar
>Winchester College is a public school (fee-charging private boarding school) with some provision for day pupils, in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It was founded by William of Wykeham in 1382 as a feeder school for New College, Oxford, and has existed in its present location ever since. It is the oldest of the nine schools considered by the Clarendon Commission.
>Every pupil at Winchester, apart from the Scholars, lives in a boarding house, chosen or allocated when applying to Winchester. It is here that he studies, eats and sleeps. Each house is presided over by a housemaster (who takes on the role in addition to teaching duties), assisted by house tutors. Houses compete against each other in school sports. Each house has an official name, usually based on the family name of the first housemaster, which is used mainly as a postal address. Each house also has an informal name, usually based on the name or nickname of an early housemaster. Each house also has a letter, in the order of their founding, to act as an abbreviation, especially on laundry tags. A member of a house is described by the informal name of the house with "-ite" suffixed, as "a Furleyite", "a Toyeite", "a Cookite" and so on. College does not have an informal name, although the abbreviation Coll is sometimes used; "X" (meaning, not one of the boarding houses) was originally used only on laundry tags.[26]
>tfw the leader of the UK has 100% been penetrated while having racial epithets shouted in his ears by the older lads set to the task of "teaching him the ways"

No other country in the world has had the same ruling class for an entire millenium, being put through a system which has lasted almost as long. It's a unique situation that produces quite messed up results. I'm making the point because people don't realise how unlike the rest of the world this is
Yes this is why Americans shit on bongs all day. We don't want fricking nobles and monarchies on top of the already overly influential rich homosexuals ruining everything.
BUT THEY ARE YOU FRICKING MORON. There are institutions across the world where elite bloodlines are groomed for leadership. Maybe if you'd taken a proper beasting you'd have actually done something with your life.

'One BILLION points to Gryffindor!" Dumbledore bellowed across the dining hall. "Hahahaha yes you heard me right, one BILLION points!" The students were left speechless as their headmaster cackled maniacally. "And you know what, NEGATIVE one billion points to Slytherin! Yes, hahaha! Yes, that will do!" The jaws of the Slytherin table dropped in unison. They were struck in disbelief by what they just heard. "I'm the headmaster! Hahaha I can do anything! ANYTHING! Even this!" Gandalf raised raised his wand and pointed it at Slytherin table. "Sectumsempra!" Goyle fell to the floor, clutching at the wounds that had suddenly manifested across his bulbous belly. "Crucio!" Ganondorf cried out once more. "What's the matter, Draco? You look a little glum for someone that was supposed to win the House Cup today!" Draco's expression turned from shock to a frown, whether by means of the cruciatus curse or by own his destitution when faced with certain death remain unclear. "Avada kedavra! Avada kedavra!" Dumbledore wailed calmly. Slytherin students fell to the floor en masse. After near every last member of the House of Slytherin laid dead before his outstretched legs, Dumbledore approach the still conscious Draco. "Hell will always be given to those who ask for it, my dear Draco." Dumbledore removed a ritual dagger from his robes and plunged it deep within Draco's heart, ending the Malfoy line once and for all. The prodigal of Slytherin's blood seeped down into the goblet beneath him, which Dumbledore had saved just for this occasion. As the blood finished pouring and the poor boy could stay upright no more, the headmaster cast the child's corpse aside and drank heartily from the chalice. Through blood-soaked teeth, the legendary Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore called for the attention of the remaining Hogwarts houses one last time. "A toast!" He proclaimed. "A toast, to gamers!" The students raised their own mugs in approval. What a magical year at Hogwarts!
If you announced a bump, in my sight, as an underclassmen in my house? My weapons of punishment? Why for a gay such as yourself they’d be fitting. Yes! It’s my penis weanus, and my own gay. That’s right, I’d frick you anally in missionary position, kissing you passionately and intermittently burn your nipples or your exposed glans. It’s only fair, and school tradition to boot.
One of my problems with Harry Potter is that it wants to serve as a defense of the downtrodden - every ugly little fat fricking moron butthole could be the hero that saves the world!
And yet it will so often resort to the exact kind of prejudices and discriminations it pledges to fight against
Feel bad for Harry cause he's a lanky nerd, feel bad for this autistic loner, feel bad for this frick up loser
But then it makes Malfoys minions fat fricks. Aren't fat people gross and fat and stupid? HAHAH. And Harry's evil spoiled white priveleged peer? Well he's also bad so he's fat. LOL. FATTY!!! Voldemorts is ugly and ugly people are bad and gross and ugly!
Feel bad for this chick cause she's weird and ugly! But this guy is bad, so to show he's bad, let's make him weird and ugly!
schizo lefty post. But I guess Harry Potter ending with a commie revolution that actually does good for the people would be on point for the fantasy genre
liberals are literally just lobotomy victims grown as far as they can into adulthood
they just accept their circumstances with absolute zero thought and if they encounter anything they weren't programmed to expect they freak out as much as they're allowed to
actual zombies
and conservatives are the exact same thing just programmed with a different set of values
You know we're all literally just monkeys right?
It's not that conservatives are X and liberals are Y.
You're all just dumb monkeys
You aren't different. At all. In any way, shape, or form. Refusing to pick a side between team "men get pregnant" and team "men don't get pregnant" doesn't make you some supernatural entity
You're just a dumb fricking monkey, everyone is.
You will come out stronger, be part of an elite group of ride or die compatriots who will be with you for life and rule over the stupid, weak plebs who didn't have their weakness smashed away.
I don't think people really understand splitting and the full abilities of two people and the strength of the outer face, stiff lip whatever you term that other. Any sign of weakness makes a target so that 'character' becomes very tough. I have an inner and an outer person and amnesia but we leave notes for each other. I get the dark hours he gets the light ones. The only other two people from my place I have contacted said they have similar but one can 'see' what the other does. Its impossible to explain.
To make the students hate each other, duh?
Pretty sure it was specifically made to keep slitherin house pissed off enough so they could mk ultra a bunch of edgy nazi wizards and maintain the ministry hegemony over Wizarding by creating willful boogeyman who didn't realize they were just a pawn of the system. In that light Dumbledore and all the teachers at hogfarts are actual brainteasers using gaslighting to create evil adults from their students
make a better system then
sure, explain to me what was the point system doing and I will improve on it
So you don't have a replacement system?
as it stands my replacement system would be no system as the points system seems to serve no purpose
It's supposed to measure how well a group of students as a whole respects the authority of the teachers. Since students are graded as a group, it also promotes self-policing within the student group.
It's a social control mechanism that helps the minority (teachers) rule the majority (students), and also serves to make the students get used to such control mechanisms.
IDK if you can really come up with a better one though, just a different one.
so it's just communism then
The purpose is to produce a self regulating student body by collectively punishing groups for the misdeeds of individuals.
In book 1 Harry is far more miserable after being caught out of bed at nigh because he was ostracized for losing house points than he was for serving detention.
The House with the best average grade wins the cup
a cup of what?
>best average grade wins
So, basically, Ravenclaw always comes first, Gryffindoor always comes last. Making the whole thing a competition between Slytherin and Hufflepuff for second place.
You know what, I'd take it over the current system.
None. They just rigged it in favour of the most popular house. The exams meant nothing, too.
Good boy points to encourage good behaviour

Holy shit, I just realized it just he HP version of the ESG score.
>what exactly was the purpose of the point system?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wOn2ZqAmeDA
i was in an actual boarding school with actual houses that had a 'competition' with points for inter house sports and other competitions long before harry potter was a thing. it was a brutal place with a lot of serious violence especially by prefects( breaking fingers, arm dislocations, broken bones, waterboarding). A lot of kids committed suicide (2% suicide rate). I still have nightmares about it.
One kid who has had his arm dislocated for speaking at night after lights out was going to have it done again for annoying another prefect. They would get the victim on the floor with the shoulder in an open door, the armpit against the doorframe and slam the door until the shoulder broke or the 'arm popped'. These kind of punishments happened at night so he was waiting all day for it to happen and could not take it so he jumped off a roof head first onto concrete. The school used cover up the injuries by saying they happened in sport and a culture of not ratting was literally beaten into you. Points were not used as punishment, food and visits were. You had a certain number of tickets 2 or 4 per three months that allowed your family to visit you or maybe go out with them for a few hours. This was important because they might give you a bag of food and stuff like books or sweets/candy. So if someone for example tried to run away, then his whole dormitory or class would be collectively punished and loose a visitation ticket or have the food ' eats' cut by loosing one meal a day. Other punishments included running up and down a hill until you collapsed. It was a nightmarish place. You respond by 'splitting; internally into the real you hidden inside and a different and very brutal outside 'defender' person and you never recover from it. There may be well run version but I doubt it. The nature of young boys and teens is to be violent and cruel against any perceived weakness or failure to conform when placed together. It was deliberate cruelty to create a certain type of person that makes a good military officer or administrator who can do awful things.
>The nature of young boys and teens is to be violent and cruel against any perceived weakness or failure to conform when placed together.
It's not, actually. That's just what happens to boarding school kids because of the system they're put in. Here's a real life Lord of The Flies situation where the kids simply helped and took care of each other, because they hadn't been raised in an institution designed to raise politicians/psychopaths: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/09/the-real-lord-of-the-flies-what-happened-when-six-boys-were-shipwrecked-for-15-months
Not psychopaths. Split. Those that make it through the process are often very dangerous and able people with the skills of abilities of two people in one body.

This is what British people did to themselves. Imagine what they do to other people
Never relax around whites
Why didn't you just cast a spell to protect yourselves?
because once you have seen someone who has died by strangulation it becomes less of an appealing option. You are there and there is no escape except death, your own family will dump you back and if you escape and are caught 'running away' no one is allowed sleep until you are caught and loose visitation so you will be beaten and have a finger on each hand broken by the other boys to stop you running away again too soon. I remember one kid who was about 11 who had started that year, so late and the screams he made when he wass having his fingers broken after running away. He'd brought a teddy bear or something stupid for his age and naturally it had been taken and torn apart so he ran away. To break fingers the bot was held and one finger put on top of a wooden desk and a thick ruler ( it was called a folded measure) laid on it, this was hit hard with anything that could be used as a hammer. The sounds that kid made was like a cat dropped in scalded water. Anyway they fricked it up so he had to have the finger amputated. The whole dormitory of 30 was lying in complete silence and all you could here was him begging and then screaming. It was an awful place and it taught me that people are all ultimately basically cruel, mean, selfish and evil .
damn anglos are evil monsters
nice larp
why not just kill them all?
Seriously if your parents hate you this much and these people hate you this much.
Might as well just kill them.

Why did he run away because they destroyed his toy? How is that the proper reaction?
Man, it's almost like he's a child.

Were you a bumboy or did you skate on your responsibilities to your elders and only fricked the younger boys?
There was no sexual abuse. Any suspicion of homosexuality was absolute assurance of extreme violence. This is quite normal, contrary to the fantasies of middle aged woman heterosexuals (the majority) do not tolerate or like homosexuals. One of the most terrifying punishments was for homosexuality or being suspected of it, which was being beaten until the testicles ruptured. I only remember that happening once. That child left the school and was not seen again.
Me too.
You're not supposed to talk about boarding school, you are just a whining sneak no wonder you got in trouble
>2% suicide rate
WHAT. THE. FRICK.
No idea what you think the big deal is. Modern public education strives for a 42% suicide rate. They’re very open about this. I would happily pay tens of thousands annually to lower my children’s chances of suicide by forty percent. What, would you not? That makes you a monster.

The Chocolate War is still the scariest movie ever made about Boarding School. If... is kino yet The Chocolate War feels more genuine
there's a swedish movie about a boarding school called Ondskan (The Evil) which is very lauded and has lots of scenes with abuse, but i think it's kind of shit and the main character is a blatant underdog mary sue standin for the commie literal soviet spy author
I was a tired lad and fell asleep a lot in English class freshman year when we read this—I didn’t really like it when we read it yet I strangely remember a decent amount from it. Weirdly though, this book is actually set in Maine, not England
Swedes have Ondskan, where the author claims it's based on his real-life experiences at a real boarding school he went to and wrote negative articles about to reveal what a bad school it was, but even then the more violent parts of the book/movie were obviously played up and he's made no attempt to pretend like those parts were real. It's probably got to do with Britain's more hardcore take on class structure.
They used to call it gayging in the British school system (no joke look it up).
A freshman would gay for an older boy - running his errands/ doing his chores and generally being his b***h. The older boy was called his gaymaster and was expected to reward his gay with a monetary tip at the end of the school year.
If your gaymaster was particularly demanding leaving you exhausted, you were said to be "gayged out".

it was very common. different times, corporal punishment with a leather covered metal strap on the hand was legal and normal. You would not feel your hand for a day afterwards. It was very brutal and the state coroner co-operated and put down suicides as natural deaths for the parents sake on request from them, saved embarrassment.
yes out of every year of 60 there were one sometimes two deaths also ;accidental' deaths like broken backs

He answered OP's question though.
I was in a European institution and most of my class became military officers. The English are ahead in studying what it does to people. You end up with two people in you (this is not schizophrenia, quite different) who don;t like each other and have different abilities, one may play piano, the other may speak French. There is an outie person and an inside person and gradually the outside become the main driver and the inside person is a prisoner inside. The outside person also has far greater tolerance of pain and will never loose face. Its hard to explain. Just don't send your children to boarding schools. The people who run them are not there to provide a service to you or your children but to the institutions that they are preparing these children for, typically military, political etc and the know that not all the children will make it through the spitting and some will die or be harmed for life. I can hold a lighter under my hand until the skin blackens without moving, a pretty useless ability, you can figure out how I got that.

I was in an Anglo boarding school. It’s nowhere near as bad as that here and was actually quite good fun. Huge emphasis on sport of course. There were some nasty characters and a bit of bullying but nothing as extreme as bones being intentionally broken. Also produces a lot of infantry and cavalry officers though, unlike Europeans, they actually go to war from time to time.

My friend killed himself in boarding school when he was 14 or 15. He hung himself. He had had a beating and broken some ribs so he got up and hung himself in the toilets in the middle of the night.
I remember when he got up to kill himself and told me. I though it was a very sensible thing to do and wished him good luck with it. C'est la vie or c'est ne pas vie to be more correct.
To get them to compete, duh, and push themselves. Realistically no one cares about this shit, that's why it's virtually never brought up again.
I don't like harry potter or the people who like it.
former teacher at one of Scotland’s most prestigious private schools who faced a catalogue of abuse charges covering a 20-year period will not stand trial, because of ill health.
Professor Dumbledore, 88, was facing a total of 37 allegations relating to violence and torture he is alleged to have inflicted on 35 schoolboys from February 1967 to December 1987 while he taught at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizzardry.
Court papers allege Dumbledore struck children with implements including a wooden bat called a clacken, a snooker cue and a golf club, as well as choking several victims by securing their school ties to a window blind and causing the tie to tighten around their necks.
The former teacher is also alleged to have forced children to sleep in soiled bedclothes, ordered them to sit in freezing cold baths and punished them by making them dig in a garden without adequate clothing in cold weather.
The court papers also allege he locked some boys in a garden shed for a prolonged time and on one occasion made a boy remove his clothes and placed a hosepipe between the child’s buttocks as a punishment for bed-wetting.
Browlee did not attend Edinburgh sheriff court on Thursday, and Andrew Seggie, defending, said his client was unfit to attend court or to stand trial due to ill health.
Graeme Clark, prosecuting, said the crown agreed that “Professor Dumbledore is unfit for trial and the trial cannot proceed” after receiving a medical report.
Dumbledore is alleged to have abused pupils between February 1967 and December 1987.
Clark said: “[The report states] that he is unable to participate in a trial, follow the course of the trial, take in new information and unable to keep concentration. He won’t be able to follow the course of trial and will be overwhelmed in the course of the trial and will display behaviours such as reciting Latin and football facts.”
The fiscal depute added that all future hearings would be held in Dumbledore’s absence, with an examination of facts hearing, where witnesses would give evidence about their experience while attending the school, scheduled for next March and expected to run for about 15 days.
In a statement, Giles Moffatt of the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizzardry Survivors group welcomed the decision, describing it as “truly momentous”.
Moffatt said: “For the first time in decades justice is on the horizon. From 11 March 2024, every complainer will be able to give their accounts of the violence cruelty and abuse inflicted by Professor Dumbledore.
“As the Scottish child abuse inquiry revealed in August, Dumbledore was a career-long sadist who will be remembered for his cruelty, his violence, and nothing good. We thank the authorities for setting a trial date with minimal delay.”
In August, former Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizzardry pupils including the broadcaster Nicky Campbell gave 14 gruelling days of evidence to the inquiry, detailing the physical, sexual and psychological abuse meted out by a number of staff. Now men in middle age, some wept as they described a culture of violence, fear, silence and shame, where severe beatings, voyeurism and sexual assaults were so normalised that pupils were left with “no compass”.
During the hearings, there was frequent commendation of the work of the journalist Alex Renton, whose BBC Radio 4 documentary series In Dark Corners about abuse in Britain’s elite private schools prompted Campbell to reveal his own abuse. It resulted in a flood of other former pupils coming forward.
Renton’s latest examination of the ongoing fight for justice, My Teacher the Abuser: Fighting for Justice, is on BBC One on 30 November. It concerns in particular the case of Iain Wares, an allegedly serial abuser dubbed “Jimmy Savile mark II” by the SNP MP Ian Blackford. Wares, 83, remains at liberty in South Africa, where he is fighting extradition to face charges relating to his time teaching at the academy and also at Fettes College during the 60s and 70s.
Competition breeds success. A society that doesn’t reward hard work is stagnate society that by definition is destined to crumble and die. It’s why communism never works. If you think about it Harry Potters story really is about how taxes, communism and big government is fricking moronic and useless

Another former soldier, Nestor Flores, said he saw British soldiers shoot a wounded, unarmed soldier called Quintana; stab to death with a bayonet another one named Gramissi; and toss a grenade into a foxhole where a soldier called Delgado lay.
https://www.worldhistory.org/article/342/agoge-the-spartan-education-program/
Participation by Spartan males in the agoge (pronounced ah-go-GAY in ancient Greek and ah-GOJ-uh in modern English) was mandatory. Spartan girls were not allowed to join but were educated at home by their mothers or trainers. Boys entered the agoge at the age of 7 and graduated around the age of 30 at which time they were allowed to marry and start a family.
For the first five years in the agoge, between the age of 7-12, boys were taught to read and write, but the program’s emphasis was on endurance events, athletic competitions, military prowess,
During this period, the child soldiers were also taught to steal, especially to steal food, as they were fed little. If they were successful, even if the theft was detected afterward and the culprit clearly suspected, no punishment was given; if they were caught, they were severely beaten. Stealing was considered an important survival skill and so it was not the act of theft that was punished, it was the carelessness exhibited in getting caught. In the initiate stage, the focus of the program was on instilling essential skills which would enable one not only to survive but conquer. The boys had to literally make their own beds – as in construct them – from rough reeds that grew by the river they had to break by hand without using a knife.
Based. It’s crazy that we had civilisation almost figured out millennia ago but are falling backwards now.
Stealing from thy neighbour is cringe and Black personpilled tho. Tax evasion and other forms of “stealing” from the government is based
the food stealing thing was definitely a product of the time but yes in general it was and is based
spartans lived to a large degree like african child soldiers, who experience massive degree of rapes both from their stronger peers and their adult supervisors, so it's safe to say that spartans were gayraped. They also produced nothing of cultural value and were mediocre militarily as far as polises go. The legend of sparta is just a product of athenian chuds marveling at this totally based society, like tankies praising north korea or something.
>Professor Dumbledore, is it wise to give that little boy to that family of muggles. After all, statistically, there is very big chance he will grow into socipathic teenager, bully and mentally unstable person in such invironment.
>...
>I dont give a shit, Professor Mcgonagall.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoge
It is the old way. In any making process there will be defects and spoilage.
>>I dont give a shit, Professor Mcgonagall.
"You have all heard the discourtesy directed at a teacher and know the rules. Half of you will receive no food for 3 days. When I return half a list of names. You may punish the instigator and correct them as you see fit tonight so that this does not happen to you again but do not mark their face or cause me inconvenience."
to bury those Slyther*n shits under the school
They used turn of the hot water and remove the bottom half of the windows in my place as punishment during winter. It would get down to zero and there would be frost on the blankets so you had to learn to sleep with a pillowcase on your head to avoid frostbite
The question i always had was how do they get anyone to give a shit about it at age 16-17?
like again, kids book i know,
but i kinda feel like even in the universe of Harry Potter where wizards apparently never get high or have sex before 17 it be pretty hard to wrangle fred and george types to care that much about
>>>le house cup
in their OWL years.
Like notice how Umbridge doesn't even bother taking away points from Griftendoor when she's screaming at Harry when he claims he saw Voldemore return??
She just gave him detention.
Its like the point system is only there for the first and second years and everyone past that (understandably) is like doing their own fricking thing and basically just going to a highschool with magic.
real serious boarding schools are single sex. The books are a rip off of billy bunter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Bunter
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Bunter
Actual boarding school
"He claims he witnessed children being set on fire and having their "genitals mutilated from gang beatings with boots".
He said: "I was a child trapped in a madhouse of violence, and sexual and emotional abuse. Even now, decades later, remembering it can make me curl up and cry.
"We were beaten with hockey sticks and cricket bats daily. Beds were urinated and defecated on by our tormentors."
He also claims to have been whipped with belt buckles, thrown down flights of stairs, waterboarded in dirty toilets, locked in trunks and strangled.
"I was stabbed with compasses, fly-kicked in the stomach," he said. "Every day was a cross between The Purge and The Running Man.""
This is what boarding schools are actually like but there is a code of silence.
"Mr Bell claims many other pupils suffered similar torment and a large number participated in the violence. He added: ‘During the night you’d be dragged from your bed by up to 14 older boys.
‘You’d be beaten and carried through the building screaming, and thrown into a bath of cold water, your head cracking off the enamel."
‘I was physically assaulted by dozens of boys at I was thrown head first off a cliff, my face and spine were stamped on with rugby boots. My nose was broken, my face split open.’"
Mr Bell, who now lives in Canada with his wife and children, says he suffers from complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
the point system is there to humiliate slytherin and to make sure everyone is aware that dumbledore is favoring Harry over the other students
But why did they not use beatings from fellow pupils as corrective punishment and motivation like real boarding schools do.
because the points are arbitrary and have no visible impact on the students academic life
when poor kids get in trouble they get taken from their families sent to young offenders and juvenile hall and beaten by other kids and kill themselves. when wealthy parents want to get rid of a child they send them to boarding school to be beaten by other kids and kill themselves. It's all the same.
50 points from Gryffindor!
Anyway all suicides in boarding schools are accidents because children don't know really what suicide is which is why they are called misadventures and
You didn't have house points at school?
>You didn't have house points at school?
There are a lot of weak gays in this thread that need to pull themselves together and get their game face on. Its cringe letting a whining alter out like that,. No one could do what we do without having been to boarding schools.
to see which house is best
To dunk on slytherin
>in one lesson a teacher often assigns 10 points to a house multiple times for a student getting a simple question correct
>end of year scores are only around like 200
Shouldnt they be in 10000s? Hermione on her own could wrack up a hundred per lesson
they take them away too
>the various house teachers deduct thousands of points from students
Dumbledore signed off on this petty abuse of power
it appears that way. guess they gotta be serious when teenagers are doin magic. Even the tame non illegal stuff ends up with weird injuries
Just to encourage the kids to participate. My school had teams for Accelerated Reader points, and the guy who went on to be our valedictorian read like 100 books.
To keep Black folk out of the school.
Nah there's a lot of sexual shit that happens at boarding school.
An old favourite is 'soggy biscuit' where a group of lads take it in turns to cum on a digestive or similar. Whoever has the biscuit when it breaks must eat it.
Lot of buggery as well I think.
Heard of one game called poo mountain which is exactly what is sounds like.
Anyways point being elite anglos/Germans are forged in steel which is why we rule over the plebs.
>forged in steel
either that or figurately and literally buttfricked to be a brainless subservient to israelites
Why didn't Harry ever lend the Weasly's some money?
His Brain Trust at Gringotts told him to save it for when the economy inevitably collapses.
They would just waste it all.
In book 3 Harry makes the sensible decision to not buy a firebolt because his inheritance was not infinite.
Also in book 3 the Weasly's win the Wizard lottery and spend it all over the summer. By book 4 Ron is wearing 200 year old dress robes.
>By book 4 Ron is wearing 200 year old dress robes.
That part tickled my 'tism as a kid. They can clearly just keep repairing ancient clothes and the repair spell is so fricking easy that Hermione can do it to Harry's glasses in the first book before she's even set foot in Hogwarts. She didn't even fricking know magic existed a couple of months ago and she's already mastered it! There's zero reason why any wizard like Lupin should have to walk around with worn clothes and bags.
What should be happening is that Ron's stuck wearing his great-grandpas robes whenever they're out of their Hogwarts uniform, which has stayed the same for generations to make the kids equals, while the rich kids like Malfoy shows up with the newest Wizard-fashion from France whenever they're allowed to wear their own clothes, with robes cut in different ways and whatever colour or pattern is the hottest new thing. Mirroring how fashion worked for the Landed Gentry that wizards are obviously based on, where you tried to keep up with what was fashionable at Court or in Town, with country bumpkin aristocrats wearing last year's fashion because they haven't seen the new stuff. Ron should be perpetually bullied for wearing unfashionable hand-me-downs from two centuries ago and desperately trying to use sewing-magic to make them look a bit better.
HP is funny in that the world is simultaneously extremely poorly thought out and extremely engaging and interesting
To make trans kids kill themselves
To teach them how to count
Post more boarding school kino stories anons
This story is probably up your alley. Just replace the scout references to school uniform references.
jesus christ how utterly fricking disgusting. I wanted a story about the dangers of unchecked authority and children isolated, not a homosexuals masturbatory story about boy scouts that only happened in his imagination. Why do you have this saved
Seconded. There is something very wrong with the anon who saved and reposted this weird ass little kid fantasy bullshit. It's not even borderline believable, just gross
You guys don't get it. Modern UK may be a liberal country but it's simultaneously conservative and backwards in many ways because we haven't had a violent revolution since the 1600s and haven't experienced being militarily conquered since 1066. Think about it - the British ruling class and its system has been in place for a thousand years. British people don't see anything weird about this but literally every other country has a change of system much nearer in memory.
The ruling class of the UK start off as the product of boarding schools on which the Hogwards was based around, and similar to anon described here. These people go through the boarding school system and then they go to Oxbridge, networking with similar people. Some of them are selected as MPs, some go into the military, some go into industry. These people are the administrator class. It's happening today the same as it happened for hundreds of years
>but what about the current brown PM. He's brown, it's different now
Sunak was born in Southampton to parents of Indian descent who immigrated to Britain from East Africa in the 1960s. He was educated at Winchester College, studied philosophy, politics and economics at Lincoln College, Oxford, and earned an MBA from Stanford University in California as a Fulbright Scholar
>Winchester College is a public school (fee-charging private boarding school) with some provision for day pupils, in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It was founded by William of Wykeham in 1382 as a feeder school for New College, Oxford, and has existed in its present location ever since. It is the oldest of the nine schools considered by the Clarendon Commission.
>Every pupil at Winchester, apart from the Scholars, lives in a boarding house, chosen or allocated when applying to Winchester. It is here that he studies, eats and sleeps. Each house is presided over by a housemaster (who takes on the role in addition to teaching duties), assisted by house tutors. Houses compete against each other in school sports. Each house has an official name, usually based on the family name of the first housemaster, which is used mainly as a postal address. Each house also has an informal name, usually based on the name or nickname of an early housemaster. Each house also has a letter, in the order of their founding, to act as an abbreviation, especially on laundry tags. A member of a house is described by the informal name of the house with "-ite" suffixed, as "a Furleyite", "a Toyeite", "a Cookite" and so on. College does not have an informal name, although the abbreviation Coll is sometimes used; "X" (meaning, not one of the boarding houses) was originally used only on laundry tags.[26]
>tfw the leader of the UK has 100% been penetrated while having racial epithets shouted in his ears by the older lads set to the task of "teaching him the ways"
It's a fair bet that John Major was the last PM to have their anal virginity in tact.
>went to Rutlish School
>did badly
>left school at 16 and never went back to education
yeah I'm sure he never got made a bumboy for the older lads, no sir
Heath then?
>HAHAHA!
>TAKE IT IN THE ARSE YOU PAKI homosexual
>YOU DISGUSTING BROWN BUM BOY
>YOU LIKE THAT DON'T YOU HOMO
HAHHAHAHA
Can't believe ameritards missed out on boarding school japes.
>Oh hey, this carrot is the same colour as your mum now! Give 'er a kiss!
>think of my penis as the British Empire fricking your butthole the same way my race fricked the dysgenic filth you call your people
boarding school sounds harsh but fair
This is the way it is across the world and has been since ancient antiquity. Well done anon for noticing.
you live in an old British colony don't you
No other country in the world has had the same ruling class for an entire millenium, being put through a system which has lasted almost as long. It's a unique situation that produces quite messed up results. I'm making the point because people don't realise how unlike the rest of the world this is
Yes this is why Americans shit on bongs all day. We don't want fricking nobles and monarchies on top of the already overly influential rich homosexuals ruining everything.
BUT THEY ARE YOU FRICKING MORON. There are institutions across the world where elite bloodlines are groomed for leadership. Maybe if you'd taken a proper beasting you'd have actually done something with your life.
>After a terrifying detention in the forbidden forest, Harry was glad to finally get of his feet.
>But he had barely sunk into the plush armchair in front of the crackling fire before he was interrupted, by Percy and a gang of older Gryffindor boys.
>“You were seen out of bed after lights out Potter, you fricking cretin. You’ve bought shame to the lion you scheming little tosser, and now we’re gonna punish you.” Percy spat, calmly.
>“I’ve already been punished. I lost fifty points and had to fight revenant abominations in the forest.”
>“Oh no Potter. You’ve only had your official, on the books, faculty approved reprimand. For publicity’s sake that’s all Dumbledore and the board will admit to. But this school as stood hallowed for a Millenia, and we have house traditions to uphold. No matter what lengths we have to go to keep them from landing in the prophet. By Merlin and in Godric’s name, no disgrace to the lion shall go unpunished.”
>The other upper fifths and above raise their red hoods over their heads and chant as one:
>“All glory to the lion. Courage his Rampart. Redoubtable his Wrath”.
>Harry gets up and tries to run but is easily grabbed and held down.
>“BRING FORTH THE SNAKEBREAKER!” Screams Percy, openly slavering at the mouth, salivating in anticipation of the righteous violence to come. The ultimate, morally acceptable indulgence into his owner deeper carnality.
>Oliver Wood strides forward, rippling with muscle, holding an ancient beater’s bat.
>“STRETCH OUT HIS LEGS” bellows Percy, entering a state of near nirvana.
>Harry is used to sickening beatings from Uncle Vernon, and tries to retreat into himself, but the pain of being hobbled is like nothing he has ever experienced. He could never have prepared himself for it. He breaks before the upperclassmen, and leaves his own body, never to fully return.
(Cont)
>They leave him gibbering and convulsing on the stone floor as they climb the spiral staircase to the girl’s dormitory.
>As though from a world away, and echoing across centuries, he hears Percy’s voice. Saintly, redolent.
>“Granger next. Let’s see if we get the old Snakebreaker so far up her c**t she tastes it.
>Oliver wood chuckles with genuine malice.
>Harry can vaguely remember Hermione, and loving her, as a true friend and comrade. But the thought of trying to move, trying to leave the cold patch of stone he has been discarded on is too terrible. He cradles his head in his arms and tries to ignore the screams of agony that follow.

'One BILLION points to Gryffindor!" Dumbledore bellowed across the dining hall. "Hahahaha yes you heard me right, one BILLION points!" The students were left speechless as their headmaster cackled maniacally. "And you know what, NEGATIVE one billion points to Slytherin! Yes, hahaha! Yes, that will do!" The jaws of the Slytherin table dropped in unison. They were struck in disbelief by what they just heard. "I'm the headmaster! Hahaha I can do anything! ANYTHING! Even this!" Gandalf raised raised his wand and pointed it at Slytherin table. "Sectumsempra!" Goyle fell to the floor, clutching at the wounds that had suddenly manifested across his bulbous belly. "Crucio!" Ganondorf cried out once more. "What's the matter, Draco? You look a little glum for someone that was supposed to win the House Cup today!" Draco's expression turned from shock to a frown, whether by means of the cruciatus curse or by own his destitution when faced with certain death remain unclear. "Avada kedavra! Avada kedavra!" Dumbledore wailed calmly. Slytherin students fell to the floor en masse. After near every last member of the House of Slytherin laid dead before his outstretched legs, Dumbledore approach the still conscious Draco. "Hell will always be given to those who ask for it, my dear Draco." Dumbledore removed a ritual dagger from his robes and plunged it deep within Draco's heart, ending the Malfoy line once and for all. The prodigal of Slytherin's blood seeped down into the goblet beneath him, which Dumbledore had saved just for this occasion. As the blood finished pouring and the poor boy could stay upright no more, the headmaster cast the child's corpse aside and drank heartily from the chalice. Through blood-soaked teeth, the legendary Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore called for the attention of the remaining Hogwarts houses one last time. "A toast!" He proclaimed. "A toast, to gamers!" The students raised their own mugs in approval. What a magical year at Hogwarts!
Hearty chuckle
It was probably because you can do almost anything with magic. So you have to have something to keep this moronic kids in line.
>click into comfy harry potter thread
>get traumatized
wonder if the reboot will be rated R to be more realistic
this. All this shit is fricked, what is wrong with brits. I literally hate them more than israelites at this point.
Come to our boarding schools and say that. We'll set you on fire and frick you in the arse.
what they did to the Irish makes more sense now with this context. entire race of deformed pyschopaths spreading death and terror.
so women feel special
bump
If you announced a bump, in my sight, as an underclassmen in my house? My weapons of punishment? Why for a gay such as yourself they’d be fitting. Yes! It’s my penis weanus, and my own gay. That’s right, I’d frick you anally in missionary position, kissing you passionately and intermittently burn your nipples or your exposed glans. It’s only fair, and school tradition to boot.
Would boarding school help Jonah? Maybe we can finally get back at Ornella bros.
Give them incentive to be better as a team than the other groups?
how were they able to keep track of the points?
They had an excel spreadsheet
And any frick ups and they broke the students' fingers and smashed their genitals into smithereens.
dullest
>"no!"
To encourage students to excel. Sorry it isn't like your zoomer elementary school sports where they don't keep score and everyone is a winner.
One of my problems with Harry Potter is that it wants to serve as a defense of the downtrodden - every ugly little fat fricking moron butthole could be the hero that saves the world!
And yet it will so often resort to the exact kind of prejudices and discriminations it pledges to fight against
Feel bad for Harry cause he's a lanky nerd, feel bad for this autistic loner, feel bad for this frick up loser
But then it makes Malfoys minions fat fricks. Aren't fat people gross and fat and stupid? HAHAH. And Harry's evil spoiled white priveleged peer? Well he's also bad so he's fat. LOL. FATTY!!! Voldemorts is ugly and ugly people are bad and gross and ugly!
Feel bad for this chick cause she's weird and ugly! But this guy is bad, so to show he's bad, let's make him weird and ugly!
It couldn't be any other way.
schizo lefty post. But I guess Harry Potter ending with a commie revolution that actually does good for the people would be on point for the fantasy genre
Why are there italics?
just like every other piece of fricking garbage story the israelite media shits out
books, movies, games, everything
nothing ever happens
there is no scope
no one is allowed to be extraordinary and realistic
if anything is out of the ordinary it's because it's "magic" and that's just the way it is, the special people were born that way
humanity is about to erupt
these moron fricking israelites will find out how wrong they are about everything
>humanity is about to erupt
liberals are literally just lobotomy victims grown as far as they can into adulthood
they just accept their circumstances with absolute zero thought and if they encounter anything they weren't programmed to expect they freak out as much as they're allowed to
actual zombies
and conservatives are the exact same thing just programmed with a different set of values
You know we're all literally just monkeys right?
It's not that conservatives are X and liberals are Y.
You're all just dumb monkeys
You aren't different. At all. In any way, shape, or form. Refusing to pick a side between team "men get pregnant" and team "men don't get pregnant" doesn't make you some supernatural entity
You're just a dumb fricking monkey, everyone is.
it's not liberal, it's Christian. Harry beats Voldy by dying because he is a Christ figure.
Fight or die because if you don't the place will kill you or maim you
You will come out stronger, be part of an elite group of ride or die compatriots who will be with you for life and rule over the stupid, weak plebs who didn't have their weakness smashed away.
I don't think people really understand splitting and the full abilities of two people and the strength of the outer face, stiff lip whatever you term that other. Any sign of weakness makes a target so that 'character' becomes very tough. I have an inner and an outer person and amnesia but we leave notes for each other. I get the dark hours he gets the light ones. The only other two people from my place I have contacted said they have similar but one can 'see' what the other does. Its impossible to explain.
What do you do for a living now fren? Both characters are you. You can reintegrate. Which you are in some ways doing through notes.
cuck snape for teh l0lz
