Hi all,
I was just hoping to get a little feedback on this particular musing
of mine.
In the Fountain of Magical Brethren there are distinctly four types,
(or races whatever you may call them).
The 'Human' Wizard and Witch, the 'Goblin', the 'Elf' and
the 'Centaur'.
I realised at some point while musing another thread that the Four
Magical Brethren have something in common with Hogwarts:
Namely "Four Magical Brethren"
I will, tentatively, put to you all that this is not merely
coincedence. (tenatively because I dont have a lot of time for an
enourmous essay in support of it and the list can be a bit
unforgiving if one doesn't.)
I have a sketchy draft of a theory that might help a bit so here it
is:
The Wizard/Witch Human: Salazar Slytherin ; definately Human, with
an indisputable record for 100% Wizard superiority but not
necessarily Human!Wizard superiority.
The Goblin: Helga Hufflepuff ; the name is very Goblinish, and
goblins are one of the two hardest working of the Brethren.
The Centaur: Rowena Ravenclaw ; again 'Rowena' is an elegant name
reminiscent of names of the centaurs we have met in the books, and
the "*Purest* Intelligence" and "wisdom" ramblings are a dead
giveaway, I am willing to bet she's Centaur regardless.
The Elf: Godric Gryffindor; Godric is reminiscent, to me anyway, of
Tolkien Elf names.
If any are out of their order I would be inclined to pick Godric and
Helga, because the attributes of hardworking and loyal are fitting
of elves in so many ways and our Godric clue is a sword which could
indicate Goblin.
Ok, so whatever you will with that, dear list.
Best to All
Valky
