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.
The spells start off as 'here's a quirky spell to make your enemy's snot turn into bats' and end up as 'here's the fiftieth version of 'gun spell''
I just realized the houses never specilized in anything other then the personality type you need to join depsite being fucking wizards.
What an awful writer lol.
