she tweeted the wizard shitter comment. She explained it that the bathrooms were a later addition to hogwarts after too many muggle born wizards were shocked at the lack of them. the ability to swiftly and cleanly vanish your shit from whatever corner of the castle you decided to drop it was meant to be some amazing revelation to her fans i guess. No thought went into what it meant for wizard kids up to 13 years old needing to have a parent or elder sibling clean up their turds for them since they weren’t allowed to perform magic.
Did she forget that the only entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was in a girl’s bathroom? The secret chamber built by one of the founding members during the initial construction has its only entrance in a room that was a later addition. Not even internally consistent with her own story.
IIRC, it wasn’t muggle shock, it’s just what wizards did up until plumbing was common. It does kind make one question why they would invest so much into fixing what they seemingly considered a solved issue though.
Yeah i’ve always felt that the castle is basically stuck on pre industrial revolution technology (the plumbing might be an exception). The rest of the wizard world seems to be stuck in late medieval period stylistically, or otherwise 1810’s. Clearly wizards are always a century or so behind on Muggle tech - fantastic beasts movies kind of ruined this but i did think that american wizards being into muggle tech and machinery was a nice touch and thematically congruent both with our own world and the HP world.
I still don’t get why the fuck she would put this 😭😭😭 she dabbled into Yaoi I guess.
I don’t remember this ever being a thing, magicking away your excrement. Bathrooms are a plot in the first book too.
