Summary
Out ofall the Hogwarts Houses, Slytherins have the worst reputation.
TheHarry Potterfranchise often makes them out to be the villains, and it’s easy to see why.
But that is not a fair representation of the entire House.
The seventh installment in the Harry Potter movie franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, follows the eponymous boy wizard (Daniel Radcliffe) as he and his friends Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) leave the safety of Hogwarts and set off in search of dark magical artifacts known as Horcruxes. Finding them is the key to defeating the dark wizard Voldemort who threatens war with the magic and non-magic communities alike.
Just like there are evil Gryffindors think Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall) there are heroic Slytherins.
However, the films brush over the details of Regulus' story.
Yet he believed there was only one, thinking that destroying the locket would make Voldemort mortal.
That is the extent of Regulus' story in the films.
It was all thanks to Alfonso Cuaron and John Williams.
Coming from one of the few pureblood families, Regulus was an ideal follower of Voldemort.
Plus, his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, was one of Voldemort’s most trusted allies.
Regulus joins the Death Eaters andsubsequently diesshortly after graduating from Hogwarts.
After Voldemort borrows Kreacher for a secret task, the poor House Elf is left to die.
If Voldemort isn’t enough proof, look at Bellatrix or Umbridge.
Though she certainly has personal reasons for this, it allows Harry to surprise Voldemort and win the war.
Though Draco and Narcissa save Harry, they spend the war siding with Voldemort.
