@TerribleMaps Palestinan and Israelian wizards going to the same school like

@TerribleMaps How to say: "I don't know the world beyond Europe"

@TerribleMaps The name of the Japanese wizard school is literally “magic place” 💀

@TerribleMaps I bet other schools think that Hogwarts is so boring because it`s the only school that doesn`t have classes of 20k students and has a beef between schoolhouses instead of good old ethnic conflicts like everyone else

@TerribleMaps mexicans that only speak spanish getting put in an all english class with a bunch of americans and canadians

@TerribleMaps Incredible world building, JK. Not at all severely undercooked…

@TerribleMaps Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and China, roughly 1/3 of World population in one school. That's a HORRIBLE map

@TerribleMaps god I hate JK Rowling

@TerribleMaps Never will I pass up an opportunity to clown on this incredible map 1. China, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh all share a school, meaning like something close to a third of the entire world population is in one school 2. There's FIVE SCHOOLS that span Europe to some extent 🧵

@TerribleMaps Pakistan and India having the same wizarding school surely is... a choice

@TerribleMaps A very British Empire view of the world

@TerribleMaps Si piensa que los magos españoles vamos a ir a un colegio francés es que Harry Potter es aún mas ficción de lo que parece

@TerribleMaps Same shit, different century

@TerribleMaps Would Wizards even abide by Muggle-drawn country borders? Like, if the wars for territory are started by a Muggle government, does the Wizarding ministry just instantly declare war as well?

@TerribleMaps My heart goes out to all the Australians still waiting for the magical moment when they receive their letter from School #11

@TerribleMaps Españoles y Franceses yendo a la misma escuela

@TerribleMaps 1984-tier world building

@TerribleMaps This is the most quintessentially British Imperialist view of how the world is divided

@TerribleMaps 4 schools in Europe but 3 out of the 5 most populated countries have to share a single school. Well done JK Rowling

@TerribleMaps Antes meto la túnica y la varita en la desbrozadora que ir a Beauxbatons.

@TerribleMaps Honestly give me ten minutes and an ethnolinguistic map of Africa and I could come up with a realistic number of schools for the whole world with culturally sensitive catchments.

@TerribleMaps Spanish speaking countries going to the middle of nowhere in brazil not knowing a word of their language:

@TerribleMaps I like how europe has 3 different schools meanwhile all of north america, south america and most of africa and asia have to share a single school

@TerribleMaps My favorite thing is that castelobruxo is literally just her mashing together the Portuguese words for castle and wizard

@TerribleMaps love how the unnamed ones imply that these are the ones she thought she had good names for

@TerribleMaps School #10 teachers watching millions of wizards from the most populous countries in the world pour in (they're jobs are hell)

@TerribleMaps one school for 50 million people One for 3 billion one for 400m english speakers and 128m spanish speakers one for a region with a few dozen languages and cultures another for another few dozen languages and cultures Brilliant

@TerribleMaps I tried

@TerribleMaps A Japanese magic school that encompasses Korea? Yeah, good luck with that.

@TerribleMaps Unironically some of the worst world building of all time looks like it was done by a five year old with access to half a crayon set

@TerribleMaps I like how there's no magic in Italy, Greece, and Afghanistan

@TerribleMaps Consider that wizards in the United States would create a sport nothing like quidditch, name it quidditch, and make up a whole different name for quidditch.

@TerribleMaps "Uagadou"? Is this what inspired JK Rowling?

@TerribleMaps India, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh are all going to 1 school? Seems a bit overcrowded

@TerribleMaps Putting Ukraine in the same pile as russia is plain rude.
