I always figured Wizard Robes were like Church Robes, but more colorful and with fewer embroidered Crucifixes.

amigolupus posted:It's kind of funny how Harry's ability to talk to snakes became a complete non-entity after CoS. He could've had an army of snake spies that only he could understand, and probably found out what Draco was doing in HBP. Ron did more in DH by repeating what Harry hissed to open the Chamber and destroy the Horcrux with the Basilisk. He can talk to snakes, but that honestly is kind of a crappy superpower. It's not like he can command them like Aquaman, they can just tell him to eat poo poo, why should they care? And even if he could command them, what use is it gonna be? It's not like they're gonna have combat applications, aside from the Basilisk that's solely loyal to the Heir of Slytherin there aren't a whole lot of impressive snakes in rural Scotland. As for spying, it's not like snakes are gonna be inconspicuous slithering around the halls of Hogwarts, the only reason the Basilisk could hide was its chamber being hooked up to the plumbing system. Besides, snakes are stupid, how are they gonna have the context necessary to describe what Draco's doing other than "he went in the room with the wooden box and waved a stick and did that weird crying thing humans do"?

As a child I was really pissed off when they all started wearing muggle clothes in the third film. Muggle clothes are supposed to be weird and strange to the majority of wizardom!

The immediate image I have of Hermione in my head is Watson from PoA in her pink hoodie and jeans. It's a completely fine and normal outfit, but it just felt so out of place in the context of HP that it is burned into my brain.

It was even a point that most Wizards wouldn't know how to dress up like Muggles if their lives depended on it. I don't remember, but did they even bother to change into robes for the Yule Ball in GoF?

Kind of, but they treated the robe like a coat and had Harry and Ron take them off after one scene so they were just hanging out in normalish fancywear. Which was a good choice because the design they went with was '5 year old finds dad's coat and wears it' Zore fucked around with this message at 20:17 on May 11, 2021 |

I think they realized that having everyone dress in house robes all the time is visually boring and also just impractical for filming.

Am I the only person ITT who graduated from college? This is basic rear end stuff you'd see at any university in America. The only difference is that the Professors only wear it at stuff like the graduation ceremony and don't wear it at like tests and stuff. Hell in America it's probably even more garish because instead of all wearing the same outfit every professor shows up in the robe of wherever they got their Doctorate, So they look like a rainbow of differently colored robes and non-matching frill styles up there on stage.

Yeah, you only need academic dress for graduation at most universities, and even at Oxbridge it’s only for matriculation, exams, and graduation. Most other times is casual wear.

Something I was thinking about today was that it is kind of messed up that the students provide their own brooms for Quidditch. That kind of seems like something you would use standardized brooms for to avoid rich students having an unfair advantage.

The richest house team gets a full set of Nimbus 2001s, not nearly as good as Harry's badass broom (also his former broom was purchased by his professor/coach so who is the real pay-to-win team)

Griffindor is the only house that caught on to the fact that the Seeker is the only position that actually matters since the rest of the teams ride poo poo brooms but they still win every match they have Harry fly in (or Ginny does using his broom when he gets banned from playing).
