      Arthur Chu Retweeted Dr. Ellie Lockhart. Republic serial villain.

      The best answer to this question is how the American HP fandom somehow got it in their heads that British people don't say "jeans" and in the UK they're called "denims"https://twitter.com/BootlegGirl/status/1295530510857502720 …

      Oh hey you remember how the other night how accepting Harry Potter is an irredeemably tainted franchise and it was always fatally flawed made me nonetheless nostalgic for the shared Middle Millenial experience of the early fandom? What's the weirdest bullsht "trivia" you recall?

      The US Harry Potter fandom community around websites like http://fanfiction.net  was fairly insular and weirdly concerned with authenticity, after everyone found out about the change from "Philosopher's Stone" to "Sorcerer's Stone" for the US edition etc

      There's really not that much to the story Apparently some fanfic writer made the idiosyncratic choice to refer to Harry, Ron and Hermione in Muggle street clothes as wearing "denims", and a ton of fanfic enthusiasts assumed this was a Britishism

      And this misconception just chugged merrily along with American fanfic writers carefully describing Harry's street clothes as "denims" in the year after Goblet of Fire came out

      It didn't stop until apparently this hilariously public incident where they had a group chat with big names in the fanfic community, one of whom was a British guy, and when he mentioned "jeans" people were like "Oh you mean denims" and he was like "what"

      And they were all being like "You don't have to translate for our sake, we're Harry Potter fans, we speak the Queen's English" and he was still like "what"

          I guess this goes up there with how I learned from you that when SWMNBN writes that a character said "erm" they mean "um", and I adopted saying "urrrm" from the books and did so from like age 11 until honestly still now

          It's basically just saying "eeeehhhhh" and then closing your mouth while keeping the exhalation going, except somewhat phonetically spelt. An actual linguist could explain this better than me.
