Scathach posted:Okay so where did they shower and brush their teeth Also magic. I mentioned this in another thread where it came up, but Rowling made it canon that wizards basically stagnate for decades or centuries because they're really insular and have used magic to solve every problem that Muggles used technology for, so they've never had to develop really past a medieval (or at best Victorian) level of technology and fashion. The problem is that normally "Do wizards just vanish poop instead of using plumbing?" is the kind of question that a fan asks after thinking about the implications too much, whereas Rowling gleefully took it all the way there herself.

Yeah, the interesting part is that she explicitly went for the full-on "yeah they just shat all over themselves right there in their office or the hallway and then magicked it away" rather than the more historically probable "they excused themselves to poop in buckets" or whatever. Like, fuckin' animals will excuse themselves to poop, goddamn wizards have no excuses

it's also sort of uncreative, on top of being viscerally gross to the potty-trained majority of the public like, would there really never be a single wizard or witch who decided to streamline the process by, like, charming their underwear to teleport their poo poo into an active volcano or loving something better than "we just magic the filth away after, I guess"

SatansOnion posted:it's also sort of uncreative, on top of being viscerally gross to the potty-trained majority of the public If my understanding of the Harry Potter world is right it is that creativity is actively discouraged if not actually punished. There are rigid rules, and going against them in any way is bad. The house you get put into at a posh private school when you are 12 defines your entire existence after that. You are either a goodie, (in which case everything you do is good and right and justified no matter what it is), or a baddie, (boo, hiss, look at him, shun him, despise him, also they are ugly.) The magic legal system is a kangaroo court designed to punish wrongthink and dissent. So I would imagine that the first wizard/witch to go "hey guys, lets stop pooping our pants because it is gross and yucky, there is a better easier way." would have been regarded with at best suspicion, and at worst been outcast as a heretic.

I don't understand why anyone cares. It's just the magic equivalent of what actual rich people did before plumbing. This should just be "lol useless fact" the same as if it was revealed that hagrid has a mole on his thigh shaped vaguely like Vermont. Like.. okay. Even if you are a big fan, caring about this in any way is the real AUG.

At some point Harry uses two wands at once for double magic power and I thought "well why don't they strap like twenty of them together and make a wand bazooka?" Or bomb Voldermort. Wizards loving suck. One wizard goes bad and they can't do poo poo to stop him. They need to consult with muggle defense contractors.

Maybe there's diminishing returns with exponential risk of it fatally backfiring? That would explain why they don't use fistfuls of wands. I mean, its not like welding two swords or guns at once is 2x more effective.

You can't use a wand unless that wand wants to be used by you. Sometimes. When it's convenient for the plot.

Yeah but royalty still had latrines before indoor plumbing. They didn't just drop trou and take a dump on their throne in the middle of holding court and wait for someone to wipe it up.

It's also why you don't hold a cannon in your hands or a landmine. Maybe it's just British wizards that are like this. Maybe there's some good ol boy wizards in Alabama fishing with magic dynamite and shooting at road signs with enchanted rifles.
