5 More Harry Potter Spin-Offs Potterheads Want To See

5. The Tale of the Four Founders

Four Founders Of Potter As the story goes Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded by four incredibly close friends in Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor. The four witches and wizards were said to be the four best and most powerful of their time, and their foundation of the magic school was in order to pass along their knowledge to the future generations of magical children. The four seemed to get along quiet well, until something caused a rift between the friends. While many seem to believe that the rift was caused by Salazar Slytherin over his request that only the Purely wizarding families be taught at Hogwarts, other tales suggest that there may have been other issues at play, especially with the revelation that Rowena Ravenclaw kept the fact that her daughter had stolen her Diadem a secret from the other founders. There is undoubtedly an excellent story behind the breaking up of the four founders who had previously been the best of friends. Whats more is that despite being the four more powerful wizards of their time, very little is seemingly known about the stories of the founders of Hogwarts. I would certainly love to see a movie showing firstly their friendship and their coming together to build Hogwarts before their eventual split and the process of falling apart. There is no doubting that it would make for an interesting story.
