      You are Angus Buchanan And Dudley Dursley, and Frank Bryce, and Jake Kowalski, and the Prime Minister, and all the other disposable Muggle characters in this universe who exist only as background noise to the real people

      If you somehow got on the Hogwarts grounds they would throw you right back out, in front of a laughing jeering crowd, impervious to your begging and sobbing Some of the self righteous Gryffindor types would feel bad But they'd all agree it was necessary It's just not for you

      The fact that the Hogwarts fantasy by its very nature is exclusionsist and elitist - "I'm not like you MUGGLES, I'm special" - and the sheer delusion of indulging in this kind of fantasy, inventing a tiny cloistered elite and then being sure you'd be in it

      In my yoga cult this is the exact type of thing we would have adopted - the normals are ‘muggles’ - but it was before HP so we took inspiration from Buckaroo Banzai and called outsiders ‘monkey boys’

      I mean I tweeted before about how I and @life_minutiae attended a private school that was basically this What happens IRL is that no one can be definitively proved to be a "Muggle infiltrator" or "Squib" so there is constant competition, anxiety, constant policing

      And your Neville Longbottom types become the target of bullying if not outright violence, especially if they are female or otherwise marginalized in some way And the faculty *supports this*, they're separating the wheat from the chaff which is obviously desirable

      Ha ha remember how Neville's family was so worried he was a Squib his uncle threw him out the window so he'd be forced to instinctively use his magic to protect himself And the fact that "he bounced" is the punchline of this whole situation presented as a black comedy joke

      If he actually had been a Squib he would, of course, have simply died It is not clear if his family would've gotten in legal trouble for this with the Ministry - murdering *Muggles* is frowned upon as a potential breach of the Statute of Secrecy but that doesn't apply to Squibs

      Yeah you mentioned it elsewhere but the series always seemed to me at least aware of how fucked up everything was and then... it wasn’t

      I liked how in A Very Potter Senior Year, which moves the plot of Chamber of Secrets to the end of the story, the Ministry really is about to call an airstrike on Hogwarts and level the place to the ground after evacuating everyone Because it's obviously a fucking deathtrap

      The *basic concept* that the Chamber of Secrets *exists* shows that Hogwarts itself is a labyrinthine complex filled with hidden eldritch horrors not even its Headmaster knows the full extent of And forcing parents to send their children to live there and take classes is madness

          Clearly, the school must be fed with a regular crop of students, or else they will be released.

          But yeah, honestly, I'd actually argue that a lot of these problems are only a problem bc of the urban fantasy trappings; it reveals the essential dissonance between the real world, the stuff Rowling is *actually* invested in, and all the fairy tale stuff.

          I mean in the early books where they weren't taking themselves too seriously I think this was part of the joke It's a Roald Dahl goofy fairy tale, they're brewing death potions and whatnot and treating it like an ordinary boring school assignment

          Still and all, the Starkid people taking the satire to another level was pretty great "Our records show that this is the 751st student to be killed, petrified, possessed or permanently turned into an animal in the past seven years Hogwarts has finally exceeded the legal limit!"

          possibly the most bonkers part of that issue is that the school didn't close up after a student was killed. Hell, the moment people starting getting petrified in the book the teachers should have sent everyone home and not wait for someone to go missing

          'Look, the Chamber of Secrets killed people last spring, but I think we all need to get back to a New Normal and learn to live with the Chamber. Our kids' education is important, and we can't live in fear.'
