      When Rowling tried to get out of the absurdly small number of official wizard schools in the world (11) by handwaving the vast majority of wizards are homeschooled "hedge wizards" I decided there's probably a class divide in their world like in The Magicians

      Almost all actual magic-users are hedgewitches whose culture has nothing to do with the absurdly inbred, insular culture of the Hogwarts elite They rarely interact, the Hogwarts alums pretend the hedgies don't exist and the hedgies dislike and resent the Ivy Leaguers intensely

      This is my first time ever hearing of hedge wizards and that probably says something profound about the setting

      Well of course all of the wizard kids in Britain get a proper formal education in magic, because they're a proper civilized country Not like the anarchy they've got in the States

      (Ilvermorny is supposed to be about the same size as Hogwarts but if the wizard gene is just as prevalent in North America as it is in the British Isles then Ilvermorny can't take more than 10% of all the American wizards That's a BIG hedge mage underclass)

      THE ROOK discusses this--someone wonders, "why isn't britain the tiny smaller partner of the dominant american chequy," and they get an answer, "oh lol, magic is super-concentrated in britain, despite the difference in population we have the same number of paranatural weirdos"

      like once you say it out loud it just comes across as cuckoo, the author's anglophilia distorting the fundamental mechanics of the world to ensure that britain remains at the center of the (magical) universe rowling, by contrast, never even bothers to consider it

      Last time I had to explain this sort of thing having been handed the UK and made to justify it I just cut out the middleman and went with “the density of available supernatural power wanders around following the imperial center but with substantial lag”

      That's almost the definition of our cultural perception of what counts as "magic" isn't it Magical places are places of pomp and grandeur, in ruin Old marble buildings in Athens and Rome Supernatural power rushes in to fill the space natural power once occupied

      See!! You get it! (This also gave me an excuse to go back and yell about the comparable fall of a) 18c Spain and b) the Mexica accordingly, or would have if I’d kept at it, so pays dividends for me never having to reach outside my special interests too)

      Ha yeah Mexico City is an undead city, a zombie Cortes razed Tenochtitlan to the ground and then rebuilt a new city in the same shape with Christian churches over the old sacred sites

          I remember being to a church in Rome that goes down, last I was aware, seven layers of use, in basements. Some "floors" are just three feet high due to late building work, and the lower Mithraic floors were basically "this is an active dig" when I was there.
