Title:THE SLYTHERIN QUESTION
Category:lit
Timeslot:Thu 11:30 am (90 minutes)
Location:ACC / 201-D
Description:J.K. Rowling paints a negative picture of Slytherin House, its principles, and its students. Why would Hogwarts even have a house for teaching evil wizards? Isn't putting them together likely to end up just reinforcing their evil ways? Or will the final book in the Harry Potter series show us, somehow, that these characters aren't, um, lost to the dark side?
Speaker(s):Cecilia Tan, Hilari Bell(M), Kevin Andrew Murphy, Jean Lorrah, Ph.D., Lorien Gray
