The fact the entirety of the game outside of who catches the Snitch is irrelevant is shit.
So Hufflepuff is CLEARLY the best house...

Someone hasn't played Quidditch: World Cup.
Such a great game. Loved it.
Can you imagine how OP a team has to be or how long a game would have to go for it to allow a team to catch the Snitch and still lose?

The fact that nobody ever made a good Quidditch videogame is shit.
You only need to score what, 20 goals on the other team to negate the Snitch? The books implied that games could be high scoring if you let them go on long enough without the Snitch being caught.

That happened with Ireland vs Bulgaria in the World Cup final.
In the world cup points are scored so quickly the Snitch becomes more balanced... Actually, no, that makes no sense. How on Earth is it balanced when it pretty much decides the game between two balanced teams?
That shit is why us Americans invented Quodpot.
That's actually what happened in the Quidditch World Cup in book 4.
Sounds perfectThe Deathly Hallows book released the same day I had finished primary school (kinda). Emotional farewell to school and all, but then I forgot about all that as I went to the midnight launch of the book a few hours later
Oh man, I even shed some tears after the end because I was so emotical involved in all this stuff, I mean I followed this stuff for ten years
Didnt gave a big fuck for the movies. Feelt kinda bad again after the last one ended but honestly didnt cared for them after the fourth one anymore.
That is the only way to explain all the bad decisions in the story made by the adults.
One of the things that has always irked me about the houses in HP is how unbalanced they are. Gryffindor is clearly superior to the rest and Slytherin evil.
Here's how I'd rebalance them.
Left brained intelligence: Ravenclaw > Slytherin > Gryffindor > Hufflepuff
Right brained intelligence: Hufflepuff > Gryffindor > Slytherin > Ravenclaw
Individualism: Slytherin > Hufflepuff > Gryffindor > Ravenclaw
Collectivism: Ravenclaw > Gryffindor > Hufflepuff > Slytherin
Athleticism: Gryffindor > Slytherin > Ravenclaw > Hufflepuff
Things each house is good and bad at:
Ravenclaw: most scientific and logical. Produce the most scholars. Few creative types, but the ones it does have are of the very best. Usually are type-B personalities (and most tend introvert), and prefer marijuana over alcohol. Their dork tendencies are they like manga and anime (are sub-only purists), and find Souls games to be easy. Both Dumbledore and Hermione would be Ravenclaw.
Hufflepuff: most artistic and creative. Produce the most artists, musicians, actors, etc. Some can be very charismatic. Show a lot of empathy. Tend to be type-A personalities (although are polarized on being introverted or extroverted), and like alcohol and marijuana equally well. Their dork tendencies are that they like Western superhero comics, and play whatever mainstream nonsense EA or Activision has pushed out. Neville and Luna would be Hufflepuff.
Slytherin: most clever in thinking on their feet. Thrive in environments that rely on individualistic competition. Very good at business. Thus they usually become capitalists, physicians and lawyers. Polarized type A and B personalities (although most are extroverts), and simply like drugs of any kind. Their dork tendencies are that they can get too caught up in counter-cultures like Goth or Emo, and they play PC games exclusively. Accurately, Snape and Malfoy are Slytherin.
Gryffindor: tend to be fairly well-rounded academically, but don't usually excel. Usually the best at sports, and other activities that require teamwork. Some have strong charisma which is why most politicians are Gryffindor. Usually type-A personalities (although split introversion/extroversion). Strong preference for alcohol over marijuana. Their dork tendencies are that many get involved in Greek culture in college, and they exclusively play shitty bro-shooters and EA sports games. Also accurately, Harry and Ron are both Gryffindor.

And you have to tickle a fruit to get in. A pear, I think.

I finished Secondary school that day! (Well sort of, I went to sixth form at the same school so not a huge departure)
If I remember right it was also the night it rained so hard that half the South West was left without running water for a week. That sucked.

I saw the first movie in the cinema when I was 5 (I'm young!) and was scared as hell. Skipped movie 2. Saw movies 3, 4 & 5 in cinema. Skipped 6. Saw Hallows part 1. Skipped part 2.Sounds perfect

I was incredibly inconsistent in movie going.
Didn't start reading the books until I was 8. Started with The Goblet of Fire, which was so good. Movie was so bad, though.
Ha, awesome! Finishing school and getting Harry Potter in the same day was so damn good.
My memory is shitty, i recall mentions of games going on for months (with a brief mention of them swapping players so they could rest and shit) but i didn't remember they actually stating it had happened.
Harry was stunted due to having incompetent teachers in DADA for half the time there.
I do wish though he had developed his own spells though. That could have been a cool aspect of the lore, while making him more competent at the same time.

Well I'd assume they have minimal need for most heavy mathematics, why do all the complex equations for construction when you can just levitate everything into place and hold it up with magic?
I'm sure they learn most of their math during potions which I can only guess requires you to know SOMETHING like Stoichiometry to balance equations and stuff.
Honestly though because magic I doubt they have to work much in math, accounting and stuff is all basic arithmetic which I'm sure is just trained on the job...or left to goblins.
What the hell kind of jobs are there in the wizarding world, it seems like you either work in the ministry, run a shop, teach or are an auror.
Yet some people still complained she was played by an asian lol

I'm not sure if this has ever been mentioned in the books, but what do young wizards and witches do before they enroll at Hogwarts? Just stay at home until they get the letter?
Magizoology is about to become a popular field. So I heard.
I cant recall any details to this too. I dont even remember Harry saying if he went to an ordinary school, too.
You know what Harry's real problem with Luna was?
It would've been like marrying Dumbledore's crazy side.
Harry just wasn't ready for that, nor would he ever be.

So, GAF.
I think so. Some might go to muggle school but I imagine that most of them just start learning the basics from their parents once the parents deem them old enough.
What?
Funnily enough, actual asians have been displeased with the character too, can't fetch it right know, but there is a very passionate poem uploaded to youtube about how much Cho Chang was a disservice to Asians.
Did we ever see an actual international corporation in the show?
Isn't there that company that makes broomsticks?
Harry went to primary school, it's talked about a bit at the beginning of the first book. He doesn't have many/any friends due to Dudders being a dick. And he jumps on the roof using magic or something.
Harry went to a normal school before he went to Hogwarts. The book discussed him accidentally using magic a number of times at school.
I don't know what being a "powerful wizarding family" means in Harry Potter verse.
Did the Malfoys own a lot of land? Where did they get their income from? What does anyone care about what they do? They have a lot of influence in the government but this is backed by... what, exactly? Do they control some major wizarding industry?
What industry can even exist in a world where people can create knitting machines with their mind?

Yeah, I always assumed the parents taught them a little.
He went to a primary school and jumped onto the roof with magic when being chased by Diddykins and his gang.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Harry did, but apparently nobody else did since Ginny was just hanging out at home when she was 9 and too young to go to Hogwarts.
I guess he does real estate or something. I would think being even vaguely competent at Muggle Studies would mean you could make a lot in arbitrage between the Magical and Muggle worlds.
Wand industry, altho they only mentioned a couple of wand makers, they pretty much implied only Human wizards knew the secrets to Wand Lore, so they'd control that industry.

Cuarón Dumblydore is best Dumblydore.
Stop thinking so damn hard, next you'll wonder why the Potters were rolling in dough despite neither being mentioned to hold any particularly lucrative job and Harry's mom coming from a muggle family.
That's why half-bloods and mudbloods are so much smarter than their peers. They actually get an education before they go to Hogwarts.
It certainly could use some improvement when Azkaban's entire Dementor population just waltzed off unannounced because Voldemort promised them candy. Seems like nobody other than Hagrid (The highschool dropout who lives in a cabin breeding dangerous hybrids) has any idea how to actually control and take care of magical creatures beyond fighting them.
Diddykins? Man, I am happy that they changed so many names for the german book
That's actually somewhat addressed in the books. James came from old money, hence why the Potters had something as insane as the invisibility cloak.

Diddykins is just a nickname Petunia uses for DudleyDiddykins? Man, I am happy that they changed so many names for the german book
Of course, the question is WHERE and HOW did they acquire such money in this magical society?
I assume the Potters were like the Malfoys. I think the books mentioned as much.
Still don't know where all that money is coming from honestly. If I was a Wizard, I'd spend most of my time traveling the world doing cool things instead of running a shop. And I would just Apparate home every so often to eat a meal cooked by my indentured slaves grown from a magic garden that takes care of itself.
Or become the CEO of a mega corporation in the muggle world.
Man, that reminds me how many incest in these magic family was. Everyone was related.
Basically, Potters were loaded as fuck.
Explains James' bully behavior and being friends with another boy from a rich family.

LMAO I was about to post that you forgot Luna but it seems you figured it out.
The only important Hufflepuff in the whole series is the guy who tragically dies.
Yeah.
