Well, up until recently, there was no way to give in to these dark temptations and become a dark wizard. It’s just not realistic, is it? I found myself drawn to the darkness of Slytherin I was enamored with the more sinister side of the wizarding world, like Death Eaters and Azkaban Prison, and as a result, I found myself rooting for the bad guys. Seven books, eight movies, and countless video game tie-ins where the world’s most powerful dark wizard can’t seem to kill a rookie teenage wizard. The Harry Potter franchise is a prime example of the happy-ever-after narrative. For you see, a good villain isn’t inherently evil, just misunderstood, and I like that nuance. I may sound like a sour and grumpy man, but I really like it when the villain does the unthinkable and flips the script. A hero is born, they are faced with adversity, the odds are stacked against them, and against those odds, they come out smelling of roses, and get the girl into the bargain. It’s all a little played out, isn’t it? These happy-ever-after narratives have been a staple of Hollywood blockbusters, and, indeed, the video game industry for decades.
