Slytherin Quotes

Decent Essays
“We must all face the choices between right and wrong.” spoken by Harry poter this quote reminds me of the types of choices the two houses Gryffindor and slytherin make. Slytherin make the bad choices for bad purposes. Gryffindor makes good choices also some bad ones but results in a good purpose. For example Harry Potter and Ron Weasley when they had gone to save hermione from the troll. Comparing and contrasting the two houses is fairly simple being so they have so many differences. Each house is signified by one word. For example Slytherin is signified as Cunning and Gryffindor is signified as brave. I would say that both of these fit perfectly. There are two characters from both houses that stand out dramatically to be the perfect example
