Also the fact that Hogwarts has had indoor plumbing and toilet facilities since its founding is a plot point in the second book.

Well, no, that's how this came up, because she decided it was a plot hole that Hogwarts is a thousand years old but the Chamber of Secrets is hidden in a running-water bathroom (which didn't exist until the 1700s)

She wrote an article about a member of the Gaunt family (one of Voldemort's ancestors) getting the contract to install indoor plumbing at Hogwarts to make sure they wouldn't accidentally uncover it while putting it in He's the one responsible for the entrance in the bathroom

The whole thing would've been fine except that she didn't really think about the question of how wizards pooped before they had flush toilets and just made up something incredibly stupid to answer that part

Another one of the books mentions the Room of Requirement manifesting full of chamber pots because of that one time Dumbledore really needed a piss.

Yeah so JKR and the wizards in the Harry Potter universe clearly know the concept of a chamber pot, and yet that still slipped through (so to speak)

Also like. Wizards don't learn their magic until adolescence and have to go through the bonding to a wand, learning all the spells, etc. Do they go through life just shitting wherever and whenever until someone teaches them Vanesco Turdo?

I guess you just have to call for your mom to clean it up before you go to Hogwarts

Also none of the Half-Bloods or Muggle Borns just pointed out to them that it was stupid and gross for a thousand years.

Admittedly, if I could just, like, make anything I pointed to disappear, and could use this to arbitrarily easily clean up any mess or dirt or whatever, it would be a really easy power to start to abuse

I'm thinking of the second-to-last episode of The Good Place about how all the Good Placers have become mindless zombies with infinite power The guy who orders a drink from Janet, takes one sip, drops it on the ground and then orders her to clean it up and give him a new one

“There is something wrong with heaven” should have been an entire season.
