The shift in tone over the series (from Dahlesque children's gothic to YA urban fantasy) means the Dursleys retrospectively go from broad comedy grotesques to straightforward child abusers.

The show Charmed had a shoehorned-in Hogwarts knock-off around 2003, except it was literally just called "Magic School". (sidenote: there is a much bigger Charmed fanbase online than I would have expected!)

Hermione already memory wiped her parents, so she's pretty comfortable crossing boundaries to win family disputes

Let's not forget that Hagrid does unquestionably buy into the whole "use magic to... help the muggles? That'd be nonsense!" so he's probably internalized that his failure to complete Hogwarts classes makes him an unperson.

I guess Wizarding Britain is a shame culture.

Maybe all the other countries are more advanced and don't keep slaves and view Britain as like a weird backwater with Voldemort as some local warlord.

I think thats why I don't like Book... 4? 5? Who even loving knows but the one with the Wizarding World Cup which implied other countries would visit or give a poo poo about the UK.

I guess in my mind until that point I could pretend blue hatted wizards from the Unseen Nations deployed as peace keeping forces could help stamp out the VA rebels that the fledgling democracy was too weak to handle


I mean, here in the non-wizarding world, FIFA clearly don't give a poo poo about ethics and exploitation when it comes to choosing world cup hosts, so maybe the quidditch federation is equally corrupt.

I remember being convinced that Hagrid would sacrifice himself to kill Voldemort in the seventh book, for alchemical reasons (Sirius BLACK, ALBUS Dumbledore and RUBEUS Hagrid).

Those pics take me back to the days of browsing Elfwood on dialup and wishing I could draw as good.

Is heaven real for everyone or just wizards? I can't remember religion ever coming up in the series, except hearing there was at least one Jewish pupil maybe?
