    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.
