The majority of teenagers writing Harry Potter fanfiction in the hiatus after Goblet of Fire were better writers and ESPECIALLY better worldbuilders than JKR

Which is why it was so damn common in Potter fandom for people to pick up on some bit of fan-invented lore as actually being canon -- because it made so much more sense -- and then be disappointed it wasn't actually

An example? There’s no fan-invented lore? Because people in the fandom up until recently has the respect not to think they’re better than the writer. If they’re such good writers then, why are they piggybacking off of JK’s incredible world building?

The fact you’re using Harry Potter fanfiction as your argument ironically defeats your argument - they’re using her world as a basis because it’s so good. The quality of fan fiction is irrelevant because it is someone else’s pre-built world

This is cringe, man, and what's worse it would've been cringe back in 2002

Great counter-argument. Do please carry on telling me that JK’s world building is so awful that it opens up a world of possibility for “amazing” fanfiction, which wouldn’t exist had it not been for her world building

Literally all humans did that before plumbing, but just didn’t have the ability to vanish it straight away and were more discreet about it. Why is it such a revelation that wizards did it too?

No, no we didn't. What the fuck is wrong with you? Even the lowest peasant of the past had a fucking bucket.

I explained on
@arthur_affect’s quote tweet that any receptacle used is just an unnecessary middle man for wizards as they needed something to get rid of it in, but wizards just vanish it in privacy and there’s no trace. It’s just corner-cutting1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Uh the infamous Pottermore article specifically says they pooped "where they stood", not that they did it in a special private area

They start at Hogwart's when they're ~11yo, a lot of them (think ridiculous wee Irish stereotype fella) are very bad at magic for a very long time. I'm sceptical that they went straight from nappies to zapping the shit off the floor & clothing or shitting directly into a portal?

"Professor Dumbledore, where exactly do the shit-portals lead?" "Why, directly to the house-elf feeding troughs, my dear Harry."
