The one time Harry Potter’s Sorting Hat was wrong

Look. Draco Malfoy is a Slytherin. He just is.

You know that. I know that. Everybody does. He's a Slytherin.

THEN HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS?

That's right. Earlier this week, Tom Felton, the actor who plays Draco, Harry's greatest nemesis, in the film series, joined Pottermore, the Harry Potter fan site created by author J.K. Rowling.

When you join the site, you'll be able to try on the magical sorting hat — well, at least a virtual version of it. The hat, then, through magical algorithms, will sort you into one of four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. As everyone knows, the bad eggs go to Slytherin.

Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means,
To achieve their ends.

Malfoy is one of the most notorious members of the Slytherin house that exists. Even leaving aside that actors aren't the characters they play, this still seems incredibly inexplicable.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
