    As McConnell is an American muggle, or no-maj as they're referred to by American wizards, if any wizarding government were to get involved with his affairs it would be the Magical Congress of the United States and not the Ministry of Magic. If libs are gonna be obsessed with these books at least know the fucking lore.

    Uh... I mean, fucking Harry Potter, thats nerd shit, I dont know anything about that.

    Harry Potter libs really know fuck all about the art. Do they think Americans put all those fancy sigil mosaics in their government buildings because it looks cool? Are they that oblivious about their country's ley lines, or about how to funnel mana to an undead to keep them ambulatory and reverse decomposition? Who am i kidding, they do not even know that this type of ghoul is completely immune to "stun spells".

      yeah like the ministry of magic is running around playing with time travel while the US dept of magical affairs is straight up doing manhattan project shit trying to blow up the whole planet

      It's pretty bad, but it's nowhere near as awful as /r/ChapoTrapHouse. I'm so glad that place got banned, was absolutely riddled with libs.

    what's the actual story behind this photo? I doubt McConnell would participate in a staged shoot for the stated purpose

      It looks like he's probably making some sort of statement. The "wizards" holding their phones out to him are recording what he's saying and the ones kneeling on the floor with cameras are taking pictures of him for their articles or blogs or whatever passes for journalism.

        Yes, it appears the only part of the photo that is Harry Potter related is the caption on twitter. The photo appears to just be a media statement.

    Wouldn't Mitch be like perfect material for the ministry of magic? I mean it's not like without the bad guy taking over there are not mostly vindictive assholes working there anyways.

    By the way, why do people think wizards are good people? Like for example they have the power to conjure up food and obviously could solve world hunger yet choose not to because gotta stay hidden or whatever.

      I think that's a cleric spell, not arcane. They got shrinking, lightening, and space fuckery though, seems like they could tackle the transportation issues

      Gonna be a nerd: conjuring up food is actually one of the few things they explicitly can't do

        Oh yeah, true, I remembered that wrong, although now that you made me look it up:

        There are laws of magic governing what you can conjure and what you can’t, such as Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration, to which food is one of the five exceptions (you can’t create food out of nothing) (DH29). However, food can be increased or transported from one place to another.

        Might not be as direct but should still do the trick of solving hunger.
