Cursed Child made Flipendo an explicit part of canon so that’s the great legacy of the show.

I would assume it is half butter, half beer. I'd say they use magic so the butter stays liquid while cold but it's Europe so I think they like beer to be melted butter temp anyway

The name always reminded me of butterscotch, so I assume it's a sweet drink for children

Butterscotch is another thing that should be half butter half alcohol. Language clearly wants us drinking butter booze

After JK weighed in on Native Americans, I kind of want to ask her more questions and get her to dig an even deeper hole of offense. Like, "What did wizards do about magical children born into slavery?" or "Did African and Indian wizards fight colonization?" Stuff that would reveal more odious poo poo about her.

I think she also said Native Americans didn't have "real" magic until Europeans showed up, but I could be wrong.

I’m still surprised she didn’t have the magical us still be controlled by the magical uk. I mean, that would mean there was a magical front to the American revolution and going by what she portrays, magicals don’t give a single gently caress about non magicals.

According to Rowling the native wizards just sat an d watched as their families and communities were slaughtered and marginalized so like, don't expect any thoughts about the state of the empire's colonies from her

I don't think there's a single mention of slavery in all the stuff Rowling wrote about the US in her world, but she did talk about the American Revolution.Rowling posted:It was [in what is now known as Washington] that President Elizabeth McGilliguddy presided over the infamous ‘Country or Kind?’ debate of 1777. Thousands of witches and wizards from all over America descended upon MACUSA to attend this extraordinary meeting, for which the Great Meeting Chamber had to be magically enlarged. The issue for discussion was: did the magical community owe their highest allegiance to the country in which they had made their homes, or to the global underground wizarding community? Were they morally obliged to join American No-Majs in their fight for liberation from the British Muggles? Or was this, simply put, not their fight? midnight77 posted:I think she also said Native Americans didn't have "real" magic until Europeans showed up, but I could be wrong. Rowling posted:The Native American wizarding community was particularly gifted in animal and plant magic, its potions in particular being of a sophistication beyond much that was known in Europe. The skinwalker thing is that she claimed that skinwalkers were completely made up to demonise Animagi. So that aspect of Navajo cosmology just doesn't exist at all in Harry Potter land. Unrelatedly: Rowling posted:Rionach, the youngest of James and Isolt’s daughters, taught Defence Against the Dark Arts at Ilvermorny for many years. Rionach never married. There was a rumour, never confirmed by her family, that, unlike her sister Martha, Rionach was born with the ability to speak Parseltongue and that she was determined not to pass on Slytherin ancestry into the next generation (the American branch of the family was unaware that Gormlaith was not the last of the Gaunts, and that the line continued in England).

“No-majs” is not a word you can speak. Even I know letters don’t work like that, and I’m not a billionaire author! E: quote:(the American branch of the family was unaware that Gormlaith was not the last of the Gaunts, and that the line continued in England). Hey somebody’s burning their toast!
