Jaylen Brown: I'm a Slytherin!
29 Oct
Summary
- Brown told Radcliffe he identifies as a Slytherin.
- Brown believes darkness is essential for growth.
- Brown sorted fellow NBA players into houses.
NBA star Jaylen Brown recently revealed his Hogwarts house affiliation to actor Daniel Radcliffe, famously known for portraying Harry Potter. Brown confidently identified himself as a Slytherin, a choice that initially surprised Radcliffe.
Challenging the common perception of Slytherin as a villainous house, Brown argued that darkness is crucial for development and personal growth. He drew parallels to planting seeds and the emergence of stars at night, emphasizing that darkness is not inherently negative. Radcliffe eventually acknowledged Brown's perspective and officially sorted him into Slytherin.
Further demonstrating his deep knowledge of the Harry Potter universe, Brown also assigned Hogwarts houses to several prominent NBA players and coaches. He placed LeBron James and Tyrese Maxey in Gryffindor, VJ Edgecombe in Ravenclaw, and former Celtics teammates Jayson Tatum and Derrick White in Hufflepuff. Even his former coach, Joe Mazzulla, was sorted into Slytherin.
Brown's passion for the franchise was highlighted by his admission of binge-watching all eight Harry Potter films during a 10-day break in the Boston Celtics' 2024 championship playoff run.
