Admin/ April 3, 2016/ Books, Movies, Rants

  Frequently I am asked by friends and other peers which House from Harry Potter I belong to.  When I replay Slytherin without a pause to ponder the question, it tends to unnerve people. And why would it not?  Voldemort, and almost every villain in the Harry Potter Universe belongs to that house. Some people may wonder if my choice
