@witchfynder_finder @monorail @seventy france is like hogwarts in that it’s kind of fun to read about if you don’t think too hard, and also it doesn’t exist

@witchfynder_finder @monorail @seventy i wish france was just wine germany

@seventy @witchfynder_finder @monorail « In an interview with Accio Quote J. K. Rowling stated that she thought Durmstrang was in Scandinavia, in the far north of either Sweden or Norway.[1] It is, however, depicted on maps featured on Pottermore as being in a more southern location (southern most part of Finland and into Russia right above Lake Ladoga, roughly); whether this is a change in canon or an error on the part of the artist of the map is uncertain » third possibility: nobody knows

@seventy @witchfynder_finder @monorail viktor krum remember

@witchfynder_finder @monorail i mean technically i think escaping prison is A Crime but

@witchfynder_finder @monorail checking the wiki he didn’t even do anything wrong, he was just framed for opening the chamber of secrets because he was big and liked scary monsters

@witchfynder_finder yeah i think dumbledore was in his “i must Repent for all my Days of being Young and Gay” phase which is unfortunate

@witchfynder_finder i feel like he has a number of good role models to tell him like, harry my boy, don’t be a wizard cop (hagrid, dumbledore, sirius) but they never do and then two of them die

@witchfynder_finder yeah harry’s whole deal is he wants to grow up to be a wizard cop for some reason, it bites

@witchfynder_finder so you lose either way

@witchfynder_finder could say similar things about star wars, the problem is that in harry potter the good guys aren’t cool rebels but instead are cops

@witchfynder_finder German has that feel of like, that cousin who you KNOW is related to you, but you haven’t seen in god knows how many years, so you just kinda give each other funny looks all evening

@witchfynder_finder i don’t bat an eye at these sorts of constructions in Chinese but German is so close to English, where we do things very differently, that it just seems much stranger for some reason

@witchfynder_finder considering that hollywood german was (i’m pretty sure) invented to make nazis sound more evil, i’m now wondering what the english equivalent is like 🤔

@witchfynder_finder the person i knew who spoke german in school said basically exactly this every winter

@witchfynder_finder cornish rights, northern england rights, idek what to do with the home counties

@witchfynder_finder hot take of the century but england is still too big, they should break up the empire even more

@witchfynder_finder “happily does the knight eat his cheese”

how does that sentence work, how is that allowed, but it does

@witchfynder_finder what’s especially fascinating is that we can still sometimes pull out things like V2 or whatever and have it still make sense despite that
