Hogwarts Legacy Continues Stereotyping Slytherins
Slytherins have a bad reputation in Harry Potter, and it looks like Hogwarts Legacy is going to continue their stereotype for being bad eggs. Every Slytherin in the game isn't likely to be a villain, but the recent State of Play presentation showed one that isn't exactly a model student.

In Hogwarts, students are divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. Each one is sorted by the Sorting Hat based on their personalities; Gryffindor, for example, takes students with bravery and chivalry, while Ravenclaw has those with intelligence and a passion for learning. Those with ambition, resourcefulness, and leadership were placed in Slytherin. Players won't be sorted into houses in Hogwarts Legacy and will instead be able to choose which one they go to during the annual Sorting. Each house is named for one of the four founders of the school, who chose the qualities that they wished the members of their houses to possess.
