+230 Through the Harry potter series over the years they went to school, all the teachers gave less and less of a shit about house points even though people kept on doing the things that used to earn them points, amirite?

Maybe as they got older those things were less impressive and more expected of them.

They probably still did it for the younger students.

Well yea, because each year the dark lord got just a little closer to killing the whole lot of em. I think it's pretty fair that house points took a back seat.

I was just about to say, making sure the entire U.K. wasn't obliterated was a higher priority than the house cup being awarded.

Oh I posted this from my phone I had no idea my friends and I were just talking about the movies and books at swim practice and we thought it was original :/

I guess they're more of an incentive for the younger students - I know that I, as an eleven-year-old, would have worked hard to win points for my house, but as a sixteen-year-old, my attitude would have been more 'Fuck this shit. I don't need no shiny house cup thing.'
