christmas boots posted:you have it backwards. the UK doesn’t get their own school, they’re quarantined to it. "school number 10" is a piss poor translation for the governing body of the many schools in east and south asia, same goes for the others. there are more wizardry students in both China and India, counted separately, than Britain's entire muggle population. Very few mainstream wizarding schools bother to maintain an academic relationship with Hogwarts, owing to its backwater status as an institution of learning and the frequent political instability. fits my needs posted:do wizards just poo poo & piss their pants across all cultures or does that vary by magical school too also just a british wizard thing

The problem is that the setting created for the first half of the series was incompatible with the narrative of big bombastic world wars with magic of the second half of the series. The way the first few books describe it there’s only enough adolescent Wizards in Britain, maybe even the whole world depending on how whimsical you want to take it, to fill up one teeny tiny boarding school hidden in an abandoned Scottish castle. And it makes sense they can ignore and be ignored by the real world because there’s like a few hundred magic people in the world tops. But the later half of the series had to have “stakes” and get serious. So now like 10% of the world population is magic yet can still remain so hidden that somehow it has never heard of a toilet, and now Hogwarts is so big it puts any real life University to shame.

It's hard to overstate how much Rowling doesn't give a poo poo about any of these problems and in fact actively enjoys all the ill-advised social commentary and dunking on the untermenschen

mastershakeman posted:I don't remember the second half having stakes like that, did big numbers suddenly show up? I was pretty checked out on the series after the tweens defeated the death eaters with shoelace tying spells I gave up after book 5 as a child but from what Ive picked up Voldemort has a muggle Prime Minister (Labour?) in his pocket and for some reason the books take place in the early 90's instead of the late 90's? I believe the prequel movies are about how WWII was actually caused by Wizard Hitler who was Dumbledore's gay lover? So essentially Voldemort's War on Terror is supposed to have the stakes of WWIII War and Pieces has issued a correction as of 06:18 on Feb 1, 2023 |

Now the Hunger Games prequel that's getting a movie later this year, that's some good YA garbage. I read it last year and it seemed like the author said "Wow, so I really got away with some stuff in my other books, huh? What if I write THIS? And THISSS?" Like it was just an author really pushing boundaries it's a crazy dark book I dunno how it's going to be a movie but hey it sold lots of copies and the other movies were big business
