Presumably this is why there are no American wizards. Gun fetishism and typical U.S exuberance combined with magic mean they were all riddled with wizard seeking ultrabullets sometimes around 1915. All the witches got burned well before that, of course.

I mean, imagine how many school shootings there's been in Hogwarts, West Virginia.

Yeah but kids can teleport and turn into poo poo. Each incident probably has very few victims.

I wonder if David Cameron ever calls Rowling just screaming at her to write more poo poo before the UK Harry Potter industry collapses.

But what about all the slaves and their cultural heritage that came to America?! They know a thing or two about magic, surely some of that stayed.

Uh, there are American wizards in the HP universe. They even have their own form of quidditch because quidditch is just a dumb wizard name for soccer on broomsticks.

Wicker Man posted:Also, they make a big deal about needing to shout out spell names, but then you've got so many wizards doing magical things with their wands without having to say a word. Thats just for teachin small wizlets how to cast spells, they gotta know that magick word inside and out like a favorite porn star. then when they get older and advanced-er, they move on to "non-verbal spelling" where they just think that word and feel it in their mind's grubby lil hands, eliminating the need to shout it. dramatic gestures however remain a must. this was explained kinda organically too i don't think it was trying to fill in a plot hole also explained in the books- regular people poo poo like guns and phones and latex condoms can be rendered totally hosed and worthless by powerful catch-all enchantments and charms. let's say I'm a very powerful whizz and i'm campin out in georgia along the appalachian trail, where a deep vein of petrified unicorn jism lies untouched for a millennia safely protected by the earths flaky crust. the power of such horncream is legend obv and I'm determined to have my small band of grody little house elfs (a literal slave race that look like the aborted abortions of a rodent/lizard gently caress sesh) dig up this precious pearly cumstone and make me a malfoy. but everywhere i turn, slackjawed muggles are slurping mountain dew and burning copies of cookbooks for listing the recipe for devils food cake. If they find me and my inferior race of garbage "people" I'll be in no danger at all because I'm literally magickal but I don't want to get fined by the dream police for scaring the retards so i throw up a fantastical protection "gently caress off im invisible" charm, shielding me and my excavation from sight, making all manner of muggle gizmos go haywire if they get too close from xbox ones to bicycles to shoe polish and brushes probably. It even makes their brains steer them away form me without even knowing it. Those unmagick fucks can eat a fat one, my unicorn jism is safe and I will be the most powerful fucker since Reagan

She wrote about American Wizards already. History of Magic in North America. It's some online thing to hype up the new movie. It made a lot of people mad, I guess, but I checked it just now and it's mostly just boring. Except the bit about how there were wizards in WW1 fighting on both sides. Movie should've been about that, instead.

Harry Potter: Infinite Witchcraft. Wizards going around about 100 years in the future fighting Neo-Deatheaters, but they finally have landline telephones and B&W CRT TV sets.
