And like, even the houses are terrible and an even worse way of categorizing personality than like zodiac or Miggs Bryers.

The houses are literally main characters, losers, evil people, and smart people (except the smartest person is in the main character house).

    Such a missed opportunity to position the houses as related to aptitude in a particular type of magic. That would give them an actual character.

    Then Rowling woulda needed to think about her magic system a little more then not at all. She just made up whatever spell would suit the situation and then she mostly forgets about them. The fucking candy is more clearly defined then the spells.
