why a hogwarts education is a joke:
hogwarts is literally the worst school and Iām surprised itās still running tbqh
no math or english? what about muggleborns who want to go back to the muggle world? lol good luck with your grade school/elementary school education. and anyway those are important regardless? like Iām a big fan of the āyou shouldnāt have to take higher math classes unless your chosen field requires higher mathā way of thinking but come on. these kids donāt know what algebra even IS. you could ask ron what a hyperbole is and he might start crying.
history of magic was an absolute joke? a GHOST. whoās probably been teaching the same horribly outdated curriculum for the past 50 years. these kids donāt know JACK SHIT about their history. maybe the purebloods already know some of it but the muggleborns donāt know anything about their culture and history other than that there were a lot of goblin wars!
the extracurriculars? are you KIDDING me? divination, arithmancy, care of magical creatures, muggle studies, and ancient runes? is that IT?
where is magical art, where they paint moving paintings?
where is PE, where non-quidditch players have to suffer their way through physical activity?
where is magical woodshop and metalworking?
where is magical spanish 1?
where is magical home economics, which would be HELLA FUCKING RAD.
where the FUCK is magical health/sex ed?? with their MOVING BREATHING FAKE BABIES HOLY SHIT CAN YOU IMAGINE A WORSE HELL? AMAZING.
where is enchanting class, where they enchant rings to cast glamours on the wearer and new broomsticks to fly?
magical cooking class featuring SEVERUS SNAPE IN A KISS THE COOK APRON I WOULD CRY TEARS OF LAUGHTER EVERY DAMN DAY.
magical government for all those crafty little slytherins and honorable little gryffindors.
this isnāt an actual class but MAGICAL ANIME/MANGA CLUB CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE.
magical yearbook would be the coolest most confusing class ever!! āhey this picture is empty but was it a picture of padma patil or blaise zabini?ā āprofessor, the gryffindor and slytherin quidditch teams are flipping each other off again. wood and flint look like theyāre about to either punch each other or start snoggingā
thereās so much more JKR could have done with this but no we got stuck with a handful of boring extracurriculars that werenāt even explained very well
oh my good lord muggle studies. itās funny how bad it is but when you think about it itās fucked up how little they know about the 90% of the world that isnāt in their little 1600ās magical safe bubble
do wizards even HAVE pre-hogwarts primary school/elementary school?? why did ron have no friends in the beginning otherwise? thatās really weird and pretty fucked up even if he did have a ton of siblings. ginny had luna but only because she lived nearby. and aside from the social aspect, how good was their education without elementary school? does draco malfoy know his multiplication tables?
this isnāt strictly related to hogwarts but why is the underage magic detection system so janky?? why IS there an underage magic restriction?? magical kids get a free pass and muggleborns are screwed to hell. (possible explanation: prejudiced laws) why does the trace monitor magic used AROUND a kid rather than used BY a kid. if youāre going to design a spell as complex as the trace probably is, why stop there, with an obviously flawed system? thatās so useless. but then, wizards are generally useless.
NO classes to further introduce and integrate muggleborns! again, they know JACK SHIT other than that some weirdo in a robe came and basically whisked them off to a magical castle. they need to know about the laws. about the government. about the culture. how the fuck should they know how to fully integrate into their new society if they donāt know if taxes are even a thing! is it polite to apparate in public places? what the fuck is the floo network, how do I get it set up in my house, where do I buy floo powder? how are muggleborns supposed to know any of this!?
the sole fact that snape remained a teacher for a solid 16 years, regardless of dumbledoreās influence, should be enough to sink hogwartsā reputation all on its own
dumbledore didnāt give a shit about Ā¾ of the school, at all
ātroll in the dungeons!ā
ālmao alright everybody go to your dormitories. idgaf that the slytherin and hufflepuff dormitories are in the dungeons. as long as the gryffindors are safe. raven-what?ā
