@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
@Lady They really are literally cops, aren't they
@witchfynder_finder yeah harry’s whole deal is he wants to grow up to be a wizard cop for some reason, it bites
@Lady She does such a good job of obfuscating that aurors are cops, too, like they sound like some other thing entirely
@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
@Lady Dumbledore would have encouraged him to be a wizard cop probably but the other two definitely would not have
@witchfynder_finder @Lady aren't hagrid and sirius both technically felons
it's been a long time but i swear hagrid did something and got his magic permissions removed but he still uses it by keeping his wand pieces in an umbrella
@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 @monorail i mean technically i think escaping prison is A Crime but
@Lady @witchfynder_finder not in germany
@Lady @witchfynder_finder you can be charged for other crimes you commit on the way but "escaping prison" specifically is not illegal
@Lady @witchfynder_finder iirc the justification is like "we can't really blame you for wanting to be free, that's human nature" but that's so ridiculous it can't be true
@Lady @witchfynder_finder so if the Harry potter books take place in Germany then that's ok, idr if they do though
@witchfynder_finder @monorail @Lady it's an unspecified north so probably russia/ussr/whatever and i am ashamed i remember this
@seventy @witchfynder_finder @monorail viktor krum remember
@Lady @seventy @witchfynder_finder what about the other school
@witchfynder_finder @Lady @seventy France is kind of like Germany. I will not be taking questions at this time
@witchfynder_finder @monorail @seventy i wish france was just wine germany
@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
