The Slug Club is a social club at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, created and led by Professor Horace Slughorn. The club is composed of a select group of students who have been invited to join based on their talents, family connections, or potential for future success. Slughorn, who has a reputation for being a bit of a "collector" of talented and influential individuals, uses the club as a means of networking and currying favor with those he believes will go on to achieve great things in the wizarding world.
