Hogwarts didn't always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence.
That's the quality worldbuilding and lore we need. I look at the series and what fans brought to Rowling's work and it's just disappointing.
A setting with magic and shapeshifting and no discussions on gender expression. Living in a hidden subculture and no reflection on what it means to live authentically. Having other sapient beings relegated to second class or slaves and no deep understanding of oppression or abusive systems.
And copyright law means that nobody else can change or contradict the TERF's canon unless Warner Bros fully acquire the rights.
I mean what if Harry had an actual muggle friend? What if Dumbledore was actually gay in the text? What if Hermione got tired of the neoliberal incrementalism and bombed the Ministry of Magic to free elves and the other magical creatures?

It's not as though they didn't have a straight shoot out at the Ministry in both book 5 and 7.
But rather than making it about liberation and rebellion, each conflict had to revolve around securing the McGuffin Superweapon.

Furiously pens a ten thousand word slash fiction about Dobby the House Elf and Filius Flitwick
Become Ungovernable
Of all the places to design for just shitting your pants and vanishing the evidence with magic, a magic school for children WHO DO NOT YET KNOW HOW TO VANISH THINGS WITH MAGIC seems like one of the worse ones.
It only gets worse when you add to this that the first spell they learn allows them to levitate their droppings.
It took wizards literally thousands of years to learn not to shit their pants, an art muggles mastered in, like, the fucking neolithic.
Also, pluming in the eighteenth century was... basically nonexistent. Maybe it's meant to say nineteenth, but that would about a century more of pants-shitting.
The moment when even libs started to question Rowling.
I think that was actually the moment it was unquestionable she's a TERF. When she actually posted her own terf shit. Like, for years people would be like "sure, she follows a bunch of terfs, and retweets things they say, but she hasn't said anything terfy herself..."
They'd actually just turn it invisible, with hilarious consequences
so does this mean that matter is destroyable with magic ? or does it get transported elsewhere - and if so, where ?
oh god good point, specially given that in their classes the teacher says matter can’t be created out of nowhere, so it had to go somewhere.
Love to take a big nasty gassy sloppy butter beer dump in my undies during midterms
So it just removes it from the ecosystem? Waste us a very important part of the food chain.
Do they free bleed in the wizarding world or do they have a spell for that too?
