For the purpose of a Pottermore article about the Chamber of Secrets she acknowledged that indoor plumbing wasn't invented until the 1700s and then in a throwaway line just says "Oh wizards used to poop on the floor and then vanish it" to explain what they did beforehand

the real question is, why didn't they vanish it *before* they pooped it out makes you think

this feels like it's out of something where it starts as a bathroom-humor parody and then descends into an absolute nightmare of all-powerful wizards just doing whatever they want with impunity, as if muggles were less than animals to them

I imagine there must have been at least one prankster wizard who hung around in public restrooms secretly vanishing other people's poop just as it was coming out.

I mean why even use toilets Why not just have toilet seats, suspended over empty air, that serve as a stargate of sorts to anything deposited through them

Maybe it's teleportation A Hogwarts headmaster could probably control where to direct the flow, like you could teleport all student and faculty's personal waste to the master bedroom in Trump Tower

This was an actual joke in Discworld They find a mysterious portal at Unseen University and one of the faculty says they just spontaneously happen sometimes in highly medical environments and it's best not to mess with them

Last time they dug up a subbasement room with a mysterious portal in it they tried all kinds of assays see what other realm it led to but got nothing And nothing they put in came back out So the Archchancellor had a privy built over it

You think that this story ends with some Lovecraftian entity getting horrible revenge for people shitting in its dimension for months but it's simpler than that The assays didn't work because the portal just led to the same realm, and indeed the same building

The other side of the portal was in the ceiling of a hidden *attic* room that they'd never found 100 feet directly overhead, in fact Someone made it for some experiment and forgot about it
