Slytherin may the house of evil and Hitler metaphors, but come on... it's still better than Hufflepuff.

I could live with being in Slytherin, but if I got sorted into Hufflepuff I'd just drop out.

The hero is a half-blood who is overcoming a villain who believes in full blood superiority and not all Slytherins are evil.

The houses don't actually make any sense so I wouldn't even think about Slytherin necessarily being evil.

Have you not seen what we face over here? Did you see the JUNKERTOWN trailer for Overwatch? The whole Forbidden Forest thing in Harry Potter is a metaphor for what we deal with here.

No it is not, it´s a continent, if Australia were an island, than Europe-Asia-Africa would be the biggest island.

We were brought up in Australian schools being told we were the largest island. Apparently it's debatable whether we are one or not.

Well this is half true, though it is relatively solid that Australia is a continent, becaus it has it´s own tectonic plate. There is the problem that this would also fit for Madagascar, which is considered to be an island (becaus of it´s size)

Greenland for example is on the American plate and therefor is definitely just an island

A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents. Ordered from largest in size to smallest, they are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

A scientific conclusion? You don't seem to know very much about science. How would such an experiment look? If you're into science, why don't you go and ask geographers if they consider Australia to be a continent.

So you're saying it's not an island because of a wrong conclusion that a continent can't be an island. Righto mate.

No, I'm saying that scientists classify it as a continent. You seem confused.

Science isn't an argument of definitions. Just because there is an arbitrary rule saying it can't be both doesn't mean it isn't, by definition, both.

The "arbitrary rule" is part of the definition, lol. It can't be both by definition, because the definition includes being one or the other.

Really though

How are Harry Potter and Overwatch racist against Australians

Is it because Harry Potter had a hive of giant, man-eating spiders that didn't talk with an Australian accent

Are giant, man-eating spiders the national animal of Australia or something

Ok yeah, stupid comparison. I really don't know much about Harry Potter. I remember they read us the first 3 books in grade 4 and that was about 15 years ago.

Should have been three houses:

Griffindor [Physical]
Ravenclaw [Mental]
Slytherin [Emotional]

Hufflepuff, while awesome, was unnecessary. Although, if I had to put it in it would be definitely be an all-rounder.
