Good. Loving the community discord. Its filled with great people. Shame theres the odd few that join for more troll puroses
troll!! in the dungeon
heyo
Unfortunately there's always room for a few bad eggs in a public space, but I didn't know what to expect from the community we were going to receive in this server. I have been pleasantly surprised by the vast majority, though.
You all are great. 
Thanks! :) and im impressed by how many joined
Thank you!!!
It's the mods who keep the server safe and healthy so ty to you guys <3
Yeah! We have almost 10k members. I bet that number will get even bigger with release.
Is the game multi or single
whoa 10k? this grew quickly
A lot of you have been major helps when we're not always present, so it's thanks to you guys, too. 
wow
Thank god
A lot of you have been major helps when we're not always present, so it's thanks to you guys, too. :heartlove:
@true cedar do you guys run the facebook page too?
WB runs the Hogwarts Legacy Facebook, but us mods don't work on it in any capacity.
Whoās everyone starting house
Working in game PR must be pretty amazing
Yh id love to hear info from mods on what its like
You guys made a stable server that has 10000 man, while we are just having fun, you guys are checking all that messages. All of us should be very appreciative what you guys do for us
That took long to type
i'm gonna cry
Moderation work has made me super interested in community work in the game industry, I can say that. 
Aha its done the complete opposite for me
Oof
Have you ever mrt anyone famous @true cedar
Hey The Joker
Hey
There's some lows to it, but I think the good people like you all make it worth it to be in the position I am. It reminds me why I like to be someone that can help. @silver latch

@echo pawn I have not! Unless you count developers that I admired.
Must have been nice tho!
It's pretty cool! Getting to talk to them on a personal level kind of breaks the barrier created by being a player that looks at developers on a very distanced, non-personal level.
Kind of gives a newfound respect for them.
What do you modders do for a living outside of discord? It must be hard having to keep up with it all
We have a decently sized team that are in different states, countries, and all work different kinds of jobs. I know a handful that are in tech fields, and others in much different jobs. Moderating is very much something we do in our free time or whenever we have our phones available. 
That tends to be why pings are super important for us, because we might be too busy to watch constantly but a tag on our devices will let us know it's important.
Hahaha, is the conflict resolution side of it a bit harder as your representing a company as opposed to a community?
F my english today
I think it can be! I only joined the team last year, and it took me some time walking on eggshells to understand how to handle myself knowing that I can reflect back on the company (even not as an employee). A little common sense and help from an awesome team goes a long way, though.
Do love some mentorship~
Pings are so so important for an effective mod team. I dislike it when people discourage them because it makes people walk around on eggshells whenever there is an issue in chat
especially for a team like this, where you're moderating several servers at once
Oh definitely, I love pings
I agree. We aren't going to punish people for using it unless they are intentionally trying to abuse the role, which seems to be a common misunderstanding with people.
hi
Hello!
@quartz jetty
Hello*
Always encourage the little team we have in the AC server to ping me whenever they need advice etc with an issue
"Discord Mod Academy" should be getting new updates soon (unless I missed them), so that'll be interesting.
Oh I saw the announcement for that! I'm actually really excited to see that come to fruition.
discord mod academy?
Discord is a surprisingly effective form of PR - I dont use many social medias apart from maybe Twitter for games so having game servers on a platform I use so often is amazing
and mod academy?
I would like to join that academy
Yes, it was announced in their blog post a few months ago
Wh- Poik are we bad mods lol
What does a discord mod academy entail?
maybe lmao
I think our mods do a great job with managing
It was announced in a blog post titled "discord is for your communities" but I can't link it here due to perms
oh, I vaguely remember it now https://blog.discord.com/discord-is-for-your-communities-3d14464d4c7b second section from the bottom
Ahh - I see those server analytics
tbh I really like the mod team here, they are friendly, approachable and participate in the community
I do love analytics and spreadsheets - pretty sure thats all im useful for haha
Yeah, I love that they'll be making a space to learn from each other and connect with other mods. It might be a great way for teams to expand their rosters, too.
Thank you Vari! A huge part of us participating as much as we do is feeling welcomed by the community, too. 
(also I'm super stoked for an HP game)
Discord is getting better and better every sec
Mmm, honestly Discord has turned into an amazing piece of social media

Actually, now that we're in fall, we should hear more about that mod academy soon.
It all started getting better when they made a dark theme
Yes, they made a good choice to appeal to 'communities' and not just 'gamers'
It has, I love seeing them improve on it.
i'm excited for the bot api update
Hahaha - bot api update is gonna be hella interesting
Have you guys seen that if you want to make a server on pc that you can now make a study place
Is that the server templates thing or something else?
yeah that's what I think
yeah those are just templates with ready made channels and stuff
and more mentoring is never a bad thing - I have areas Im absolutely awful with. In my own experience, I work best behind the scenes as opposed to at the forefront of a team. Would be nice to try that transition and be more involved with the server rather than the backend of the process
I didn't notice that, Poekie. it's really cool that they're putting the ideas out there to show how expansive servers can be.
Yep
Oh wow Poekie
The templates look decent as well - I love the discord team
Theyre all super lovely people as well
Same
When I moderated, I tended to be the arbitrator within the mod team in addition to backend. I'd process everything technical but whenever it came to questionable lines that the mod team couldn't decide on, I tended to make a decision or compromise that people fell in line with - and I wasn't even the admin.
It was a nice feeling, honestly.
Maybe you could create your own server, get some staff and build your own community if you like that
Hahaha, I manage the spreadsheets, and am pinged if theres an issue at this point. Not so much at the forefront of things, but I'm also not an actual mod, but play another role
Do you guys work in fanmade/community servers?
7 months ago I never thought I would say I was an investigator for a discord server loll
I am just the template creator and the chatter with the people and thats all I am good at as discord admin
Oh yeah, Im on the official AC server - 500k people is wayyy too many haha
Nice
I havent been in a social mood the past few days, but I keep reading through the chat to stay somewhat updated with you peoples and I have to say I adore you all
finally getting the hunger games book
you're an actual mod, Swift haha. You manage a part of moderating that most people hesitate to do so - on r/pokemon we straight up tell people trade/raid at your own risk, we aren't responsible
Oh geez! That sounds intense. The largest servers I moderate are ranging from 35-45k members. That's a HUGE jump up, no wonder you guys need all that backend work.
The most people I had was 50 š
I dont have any background with moderating discords, but I've always been moderating on twitch streams as well as officer etc in wow. Normally end up taking an administrative role in stuff I do as I really enjoy organizing and such. Currently trying to build a community around the esports team I manage, but thats a bit difficult
Aww Mari, love you <3
and haha, there is the mod team and then the investigation team, two separate branches. Im one of the heads of the investigation, but I see what the mods do and gosh am I appreciative of all that work. That many people is a lot of work.
Equally, smaller servers have the same issues as there are less mods that are able to be around 24/7 etc. Mods of any server size are amazing
How many mods does the AC server have?
uh I would say around 50-60 staff members
Good luck with that, Marianne! That sounds exciting. I have had the opportunity to dip my feet into Twitch moderation thanks to one company I moderate for. It's very hectic and fast-paced, but I think that is something I found enjoyable about it. I hope to get more opportunities with them to delve into it more.
Most are available every day for more than a few hours
I might be a noob but whats AC stand for
Oh dang, that's a lot
Animal Crossing haha
Animal Crossing
Oh wow that is a big community
I gtg, nice chatting with you guys!
Twitch mods are insane - deleting and reading things with ultra speed
We have 23 mods in total on r/pokemon, with 3 currently on hiatus
Hahaha, I manage the spreadsheets, and am pinged if theres an issue at this point. Not so much at the forefront of things, but I'm also not an actual mod, but play another role
@humble sequoia
Spreadsheets was pretty much what I did! Also configured permissions at times. That's pretty cool though.
Do you guys work in fanmade/community servers?
@true cedar
Fanmade, but not anything above 10k. It was something I did in my free time - generally for community-based games. I had some offers to moderate larger servers from game-makers and owners but it was always 'volunteer' and not paid. I take a poor view of for-profit owners/businesses asking for people to volunteer their time without benefit in a way that indirectly brings more revenue.
@humble sequoia That's really fascinating to me! I didn't know teams got that extensive for some servers. I guess it really varies from place to place.
@true cedar I absolutely love it. Unfortunately I've distanced myself a bit from the norwegian community now as its a bit toxic. The norwegian community is also not as fast paced usually since its smaller, but then there are often more issues with drama and conflicts etc you have to deal with
tbh we need a lot more, we struggle a lot outside of US/EU hours
Bye Poekie!
See you Poekie!
Oh definitely, we have at least a handful of mods for every timezone possible. Its a very amazing setup, and the server owner and admins are very amazing
@autumn wigeon I can respect that! I don't see a lot of moderator work that comes into the paid realm. I'm fine with my work not getting paid - it doesn't stop me from wanting to put more and more into it - but I can completely understand why that's not everyone's path of choice.
Tbh, volunteer work has always struck with me more, and I spend more time than a normal person should on Discord anyway.
Hence why I spend so much time here
I'd love to be paid for moderating lmao, but that's a long shot dream
If im honest, I would LOVE to work in PR - either PR or HR or management. Give me all the people and social media management
It's a supply and demand problem, but if others are willing to do it - good on them. I appreciate them regardless.
Yeah I'm community manager and league of legends manager, and thats currently as a volunteer as well
I've never really been a PR person. I prefer technical tasks, it's more straightforward to me. It starts to feel fake/forced if I try to amp people up or similar.
But I completely agree with you though Roost. Paying people for doing tasks such as moderating and other administrative tasks is a good investment in the long run. People should be paid
I do hope in the future that there's more benefits for those who moderate and contribute, asides from prestige.
I am a non stop chatterbox so discord is perfect for me. And ehhh, Discord is nearly all volunteer mods. I know of no servers who do paid, so thats become my norm
I do agree it's pretty widespread that moderator work is free, which is a shame.
As the market grows it def will be more lucrative
I see it more so that there's a lot of people who want to be a moderator but not a lot of servers that need as many moderators. It's not going to go away anytime soon - at most, it'll be the people who admin or make the bots.
Perhaps with the growth of Discord and creating systems that build up moderators to a new level, we could start seeing a push towards it being more of a "job" than volunteer work.
Just looking at streamers in Norway RN compared to two years ago. A lot of streamers are actually earning above average compared to "normal" workers. Two years a go that was incredibly rare
Yeah, but streamers are more socially oriented - like movie stars. Doesn't mean that the sound guy gets paid more (and there's a lot of people trying to get into that industry, so it's barely breaking even).
It's good that streamers can self-provide like this though!
Nah I just think as the market for that grows so does the need for staff and also proper compensation for their work. The only problem with using streams as an example is that mods tend to be a popularity contest aswell in my experience. So your reward for actual works = social status in the community, which feels rewarding
I'm really enjoying this conversation but I'm popping away for some food. Be back in a bit. š
Have a good one Ara!
see you later Aramet!
Yeah, and social status is what people tend to desire. Thus the great supply of people willing to be moderators - and reduced need to pay people to moderate.
I don't think that's going to change, honestly, without some major shifts.
And I honestly think that social status was the last thing I wanted when I applied for investigator - its not a terribly forefront position. I much more enjoy the feeling I get from volunteering, and being able to help a community I love
I think it will eventually, but obviously not over night
There are always other reasons to volunteer. That's the reason why I volunteered for the community-based games I did - just to contribute and I felt good about it. I'm a background guy so social status matters little to me.
Mmm
Me too, haha. I really don't like being the center of attention
Obviously i can go ha im head staff for blah blah server which is satisfying, but also
Like I enjoy chatting normally with people and making sure I know the regulars
flex that staff role
Good communities attract good moderators
My friends who drag me into the center of attention make me go š
Tends to work out and I can shuffle away awkwardly
I'm very quiet until I feel comfortable around people, then I won't stop yapping
Lord youve seen me in this server, I never stop talking
hahaha
Chat feels empty when youre not there š¦
I keep looking for you and a few others all the time
Half the time Im like PLEASE shut me up before I say something stupid
Marianne never figured you to be a quite type
Swifty you were pretty quite in among us ā¤ļø
Even if I'm not talking I'm always here lmao
Swifty you were pretty quite in among us
@fair crypt
and you didn't realize she was the impostor?
I'm very quiet until I feel comfortable around people, then I won't stop yapping
@undone valley Are you me?
Mari is amazing 100% and yeahhh Poik. When i was in lectures, I kept glancing at my phone
š

Wait were you there @autumn wigeon
Ah, I dont yap a lot irl - my friends wont see me for days on end because Im locked away subsisting on cold beans and crisps.
But online I never stop
I would lose if swift was the impostor
No, I don't have among us. I should get it sometime
haha Potterhead. I am and I'm not at the same time. If I dont know people very well I'll observe and listen more than dominate the conversation. Especially irl
Same Swift 
potter dont expose my slytherin side shhh
Well balanced I see Marianne
Few days ago I was a lil concerned I'd hurt my voice box because I hadn't seen or talked to anyone in days lmao
š okay swifty, whereās that slytherin side of yours
My flatmate in the kitchen earlier today was like "I didnt see you all weekend hahaha"
I seriously miss talking with people irl, my housemates aren't particularly talkative
Me too Poiklers!! I've dropped so many parties and get togethers since Covid started and its awful
just always know Swift I called you out on being slytherin in the beginning of this server. I KNOW YOU
Swift is 100% a secret slytherin, it's exposed if you play among us with her
I'm actually deaf irl, but I was raised to speak and lipread - never was taught ASL. However, it's such a pain for most people to make sure I can lipread them or repeat what they say or otherwise make sure I can keep up with the convo - groups are my bane in particular. So Online is where I go to understand and chat with people.
Does anyone actually know when the game comes out in 2021?
do you guys play and voicechat together sometimes?
I think I am a weird mix of huffle and slytherin haha
and aw Roost~
We have a couple times, with a few others like Oliver and CJ
ohhh thats really nice
I hope you dont mind me asking, but a friend of mine is deaf and masks have really limited her, and Im the only person I know with a clear mask
Is it hard to be out and about with masks everywhere?
Weird combo of gryffindor and raven so I see that
for all we know they could release it in 2021 december
If I was the head of a new game based on a huge franchise, I would release it before christmas
Is it hard to be out and about with masks everywhere?
@humble sequoia
Yes. The main issue isn't even that I can't lipread, although that's obviously a problem. The issue for me is that the moment I speak and say that I'm deaf and need to lipread to understand people's speech (to cashiers, etc) - then they don't process that I'm deaf and need to lipread. They speak louder, repeat themselves, do weird gestures, etc.
So now I don't speak at all and just type everything out on a phone and show them. That does the trick.
I pray WB will be kind and release sooner
I pray they release it early and it has a multiplayer option
that would be a dream
@glacial sedge Maybe! They have announced it to be single player though, but who knows
Ahh, I see Roost :(( I think clear masks should be mandatory in shops tbh, it protects everyone involved, and there are some really good ones out there
ik but who knows they might change it @undone valley
I hope we can use black magic in the game what do u think
Yeah they really do help. I've only seen them online, never in person. Ironically, though, when I type things out on a phone - people remove masks (i stay a distance away and keep my mask on) and ask if I can lipread. I nod.
Whack.
@autumn wigeon Iām taking sign language in Jan!
I think if they havent implementet something allready, they're not going to do so this close to release. Maybe they'll release a DLC with some online features if its successfull enough
Ah, probably some weird psychology there haha - I'm glad youve found a way that works for you though. People can be frustrating even if they are trying
Do you have a link to any clear breathable masks? Because to me a seethrough mask doesn't seem breathable, unless it's one of those plastic shields which aren't particularly effective
@autumn wigeon Iām taking sign language in Jan!
@fair crypt
That's pretty cool! I've intended to learn ASL for ages now. I've taken a few courses in college but never immersed myself as much as I should have (to make it stick).
Bro offtopic?
@autumn wigeon As a person who would 100% get confused in a situation like that cause I'm not used to it, we don't mean any harm by it
Oh um, I have one called The smile mask - its specifically for when I go and see my friend so she can lipread
Ah, probably some weird psychology there haha - I'm glad youve found a way that works for you though. People can be frustrating even if they are trying
@humble sequoia
Yeah I never hold it against them. I just find it funny wherever I go. At this point in life, you just gotta roll with it instead of getting upset.
ASL is something I'm really interested in. I love the idea of learning a non-verbal language that could potentially be very versatile. It doesn't seem to get enough attention as something important, either.
https://rafinova.com/collections/smile-masks/products/copy-of-the-smile-mask
They are normal masks with very tightly sewn "windows" on them - the stitching around the window and the moisture proof spray you can get is proof enough for it to be safe
Definitely Ara. My cousin knows it and she has jobs thrown after her cause its such a high demand for interpreters
@calm grove Since we don't have a lot of information on the game just yet, this channel is subject to wander. When we're closer to release, it will become a bit more strict.
Ooh, thanks Swift!
One of my deaf friends has a shirt that goes "Yes, I'm deaf - but my ignoring you is intentional." It's so sassy but hilarious, and ironically it helps her navigate through airports and the like.
Haha nice
Omg I love that roost
Yeah I can imagine, Marianne. It's great that she knows it and it's benefitted both her and (hopefully) other people!
ASL is something I'm really interested in. I love the idea of learning a non-verbal language that could potentially be very versatile. It doesn't seem to get enough attention as something important, either.
@true cedar
I really do wish people had nonverbal ways of communicating as a standard complement to the verbal language we have. It's just so much more convenient to have ways to express everything in two languages (verbal and nonverbal) that closely mirror eachother.
Obviously that's a bit too much work to implement easily and there's other goals that should be focused on instead, but it's a pipe dream.
Yeah she really inspired me to be interested in it as well, but I'm not really in a position atm where I can commit to something like that. Takes a lot of effort
I love the idea behind sign language. I had a friend in my old childhood friend and we would talk through photos and facial expressions. I dunno how to explain but it was intimate. I canāt wait to learn asl
Mmm, my brother was non verbal when he was younger (now I cant shut him up), but there were a lot of body language cues and we used to call it a "secret language" that he used with us
I dont see why they shouldnt have it in school though tbh. We have mandatory french, spanish or german. Could throw in ASL there aswell ngl
or even start at such an early age that its very easy to pick up on
I think it should become something that students can learn, yeah.
@autumn wigeon As a person who would 100% get confused in a situation like that cause I'm not used to it, we don't mean any harm by it
@undone valley
Oops, missed this comment. No worries, I perfectly understand! As I said, I don't hold it against people. It's more so hilarious how predictable people can react in a way that doesn't fall perfectly in line with how one would logically expect.
norwegian syllabus is very foreign language focused. I started learning english and finnish in 2nd grade, and when youre that young you learn REALLY easily. Would be noo prob to have ASL as an option
My mate has always said that the worst thing for her is explaining partial deafness because people are like "oh so you can hear?" and its like n o.
haha
Imagine they made this game like gta rp
blast people in the streets š
no if you have ever played fivem (gta rp)
Play as a death eater 
you would know
Oh GTA RP
ASL has actually been demonstrated to improve cognitive ability in young babies - they can sign faster than they can learn to speak - and having a 'visual' language strongly improves teaching abilities to the point that deaf students were outperforming expectations.
If Sign Language wasn't so oppressed and deaf people so marginalized, I can only imagine what society would have turned out to be now.
Oh wow, I didnt know that Roost - thats amazing
I didnt think that children's language pattern learning also translated to non-verbal language
Even now, we're recovering from some draconian policies - such as the outright ban of sign language in schools (especially boarding schools)
There's some pretty nice studies out there and the history is wild
I've always said that I think schools should have more languages than other useless stuff, but I havent really thought about ASL before tbh
hearing that that was a thing is... very gross. Why would you ban someones medium of communication.
Iām following a couple where ones deaf on YouTube. Itās interesting to see the discrimination for people who are impaired itās truly not fair
It's the reason why parts of the deaf culture try to avoid cochlear implants and similar - because with it is a resurgence of Oralism that suppressed them in the decades past. It's an important point many people miss.
My brother was non verbal as a younger kid, and I had a stutter for 9 years where I couldnt string together a sentence. I cant imagine having your way of communicating banned
i had a stutter in elementary and had to get surgery
straight up discrimination
Thats some... 1984 type stuff
It took world war II to trigger a change, actually. It lasted hundreds of years.
but boy have I heard some horror stories about english boarding schools
i had a stutter in elementary and had to get surgery
@obsidian grail
How'd surgery go?
tbh even now boarding schools are pretty... weird, intense, bad at times. The boarding school I grew up near wouldnt let girls have hair shorter than their shoulder blades, and they had to wear skirts. Boys had to have near buzzcuts, and I distinctly remember going on a school visit and everyone looked like... exactly the same. (and were handing 20 pounds notes to someone to buy a cupcake - who spends 20 quid on a homemade cupcake>>>)
ie heard they can be rough
Haha yeppp. I forgot the name of the couple but itās interesting to see how they interact. The GF never was the āhandlerā and now is cause sheās the bridge to speaking and non speaking world and she choices to sign rather than speak. The obstacles they face is interesting to watch but itās the eye contact speaks to me. Very honest
yeah I read about one boarding school with no makeup policy and this girl got expelled for having thick natural brows cause they thought they were fake? lmao
Oh yeah thats a thing haha
That also happens at normal schools. Not the expelling but they can be asked to go home and wipe it off before they come in
It's pretty sad when you look back and see these patterns of discrimination. Native Americans, for example, even now.
Mmhmm I agree
I remember not being able to afford my school PE kit and being screamed at for wearing liverpool gym shorts lol
yeah in norway that would be hardcore frowned upon if teachers tried to tell you how to look, so that sounds so insanely foreign and weird to me
None the less Iām excited for the asl classes @autumn wigeon all I know how to sign is turtle rn

but im a big fan of "uniforms" as in black pants and maybe a school hoodie to sort out the pressure on clothing. I do think people should wear their hair and makeup as they please though
so the punishment we see in the hp books are legit?
None the less Iām excited for the asl classes @autumn wigeon all I know how to sign is turtle rn
@fair crypt
One of my friends is obsessed with signing 'awkward turtle' then shuffling away when the conversation slowly comes to a stop.
yeah mari, adds personality
Thatās funny
Uniforms for british students are black slacks or pleated skirts with a white or blue shirt, tie and a blazer and full black shoes with white or black socks. No makeup, hair tied up
or at least it was at my school
Yea thats the stereotype at least.
Hold on whatās wrong with uniforms?
I'm a big fan of people, and especially youths still growing being allowed to express themselves though. Feels like a huge punishement to be forced not to if thats what you really want to do
Wasnt allowed nail polish or makeup or we would be sent to the bathroom with makeup wipes or nail remover and not allowed to do anything until it came off
Wow that sucks our school allowed that uniform and all
hahaha im glad I wasnt born in england. I had acne when I was younger and makeup gave me hella confidence
yikes
Oh and hair dye - some kids were sent home for dying their hair and told it was inappropriate and distracting
Went to a Roman Catholic school. They were strict on skirt height but you were allowed the crazy hair etc
Im sure this isnt all british schools, but this was mine hahahaha
Sorry to hear you couldnāt do that
it sounds kinda... authoritarian in some way
probably not
It wasnt even religious, just
just typical
and I remember the girls pulling their skirts up when they got through the gates and legging it before the teachers could catch them
wow
lol
hahaha pretty sure it was just mega strict
hahaha ye
how was yours Poik?
Your experience is the same as a lot of british schools, luckily mine wasn't the same, but a lot of schools around me were like that
sounds pretty bad
But then I'm male so probably didn't see many girls being asked to take off makeup or nail polish
I think as long as it wasn't overly gaudy it was allowed
Pretty happy that this wasnāt an issue when I went to a uniformed school.
Wow the restrictions
Eh, the idea is that if you cant be an individual, you will act more like the collective, There was no people standing out and making trouble if they were the same as everyone else
Naturally though, people caused trouble to be an individual when they hated the collective idea
that's definitely a pro for uniforms, but at the same time it also shows who is poor and who isn't, because official uniforms are expensive as hell
So a lot of people had cheap, similar looking versions, without the school badge on
one of mine schools i went to had a no facial rule
I know some people were sent home because their blazer didn't have the school badge on it
Yeah Its a very different cultural approach than what we have in Norway. Here there's a lot of focus in the individual and being free to do what you want to do, as well as not burdening others (thats an example on why norwegians seem more "rude" to other countries cause we arent as straight forward. We just dont wanna burden peopole)
Yeah - even the PE kits had to be the same. Cant work out in something comfortable, just something school mandated
and yeah Poik
i had the uniform rule too
Hey guys
I missed interacting in some interesting conversations it seems like! Ah, but work calls to me.
Hey Timpala!
Hey Fame!
Hey Fame!
Uniforms in schools are so much not it
Hey everyone!
Howās everyone today
with the logo and no jackets without logo
Talking about strict schools
Having to pay for uniforms that we're forced to wear for 'free education' is whack to me.
Im so glad we dont have that here unelss you go to private schools
I got detention once for having my top button undone
Oliver changed to Huffepuff? smdh traitor
Huffle lets go
Oh no i just wanted to check out their common room like a week ago lmao
its pretty good
I love that I had to tuck my shirt in, my skirt had to be a certian length, tie a certain length, no makeup, no nail polish, hair tied up, and natural hair colour just so I could get an education
I showed up to school in joggers and a hoodie for my whole life
yeah they were certain uniforms if wet... you know
Nobody gave a shit lmao
And all pieces of the uniform had to be school mandated - same for PE kit
well I have an idea. You should all come to norway and live in my town and we'll have our own little community and our kids wont have to wear uniforms 8)
Right lads we headin to Norway
Pe wasnt restricted to the school
Agreed lmao
well lets move to Norway
Im not going to Norway, bruv its mad cold there... Lets go to spain
Uniforms are a generally good idea, but I hated how strict it was
so
nooo its not! Only in the winter
unless youre live in the northern part the summers are very warm
@torpid smelt Disagree. They are not a good idea ever imo
and winter is like november - march/early April
usually uniforms prevent stuff
Yes lets have students be chocked to death by a tie they don't know how to properly wear and lets wear blazers in 30C summer days
Oh god, I used to have to ask permission to take my blazer off in summer
i never needed a tie
How do yall deal with being under so much control just trying to to school lmao
Had to wear it around the school otherwise I would be pulled to the side and asked to wear it
Sounds like hell lmao
Like it would be 30 degrees and the teacher would be able to say no when I ask to take my blazer off
@thorn sleet Us scandinavians can never understand. This sounds so exotic to me lmao I would flip if norway suddenly decided to go this direction in schools
yeah i got pulled to the side for my zip up hoodie not having the logo but the color was the same
@undone valley It just sounds so strange... Like let people dress and express themself how they want to with their cloths
YEP i agree
All of y'all are Europeans?
scandanavian times
I would have been so pissed if someone told me i had to wear jeans and a shirt if i wanted to wear joggers and a hoodie lmao
Think most of us are
yeah
Who needs individual style when you have a collective that looks the exact same who are very unhappy with the education system ā¤ļø
I think a dress code is okay, but dictating makeup, hair, nail polish etc seems so so so excessive
exactly
Nah dress code can piss off too... Im there for an education if people stress about what i wear they can suck me off... Unless people are coming in nude then thats a problem
yeah we had a non unnatural hair color rule like pink or green
Hey Mono!
Oh, dang. I might be the only Texan here. Y'all are lucky
I remember wearing non mandated shoes and feeling so rebellious
Like.... shoes
and hello Boi!
They just monitored what colors we could wear.
wow such a rebel Swift
I would hate going to school anywhere but Denmark it seems lmao
Yeah, I once wore mascara to school as well 
wow
But they asked me to take it off and i cried
Aint no one get to tell me what to wear, thats none of their business
Wowwww
rip
where I grew up there wasnt a lot of pressure on wearing the right kinda clothes and the right kinda brands, but I know where I live now thats a huuuuuge social pressure on teens, so I can understand going for a dress code. But it shouldnt be that strict or limited
I used to wear a t-shirt under my uniform shirt and then unbutton them during break LOL
I think it was during my trying out makeup phase and I wanted to look like a proper woman
If I canāt have my mascara when I was in school I would have cried. Sorry guys that really sucks
a lot of teachers just have a huge power complex
Yall got some strange ass schools over there in the UK lmao
I mean, we're used to them lol
To us, your school seems weird by not having uniforms
Oof i never vibed well with the huge power complex teachers, that was always no no for me
Normal, and is nothing compared to private schools either. Theyre more strict
Yall got some strange ass schools over there in the UK lmao
@thorn sleet Where did you go to school?
Bro imagine having brows on fleek one day, showing at school and then have someone tell you to wipe them off. I would me F U M I N G. I would go home actually
This is bog standard state schools run by the government im talking about haha
Private schools here have some unifroms too i think, not sure im not rich enough to get close to one 
yeah
@shrewd shore In Denmark š
Public have more dress code than Private
Yeah Mari, I was very very self conscious as a teenager - still am in some respects - and not being to wear things that made me happy about how I looked in some way was hard lol
Anyway im off to play some fifa and then I'll sleep so i will see you lot later, remember to wear the uniforms and dont even think about having a bit of personality 
Have loads of fun, Oli!
See you, Oliver!
Bye Oliver!
tbh it probably still affects me, I've never grown a style so I have very basic t-shirts and jeans. I don't like spending money on expensive clothes lmao
i just lost all interest and stopped caring anymore
But ya know as I said! Come to norway, I'll give you guys all the confidence you need ā¤ļø
I never really developed a super unique personal style. I have a few different styles I bounce between, though.
Yeah I never really developed a style
Heading there ASAP Mari, teach me how to dress
hahaha I dont have that much focus on style as well ngl. I mostly dress in stockings under a dress, skirts or shorts. Very low key
who's paying for the ticket to norway? 
I just want to wear jeans and a hoodie everywhere lmao, and my parents take the piss out of me for wearing jeans everywhere, even when it's really too warm for them lmao
But Lord when I got out of secondary school... Did someone say big eyelooks
Hoodies are 
Yeah my style now would probably be mom jeans and hoodies with over the top eye makeup lolll
booking the tickets now
i always got those
I think uniformed schools rob you of the ability to pursue your own aesthetic. Acceptance or rejection from your peers is an integral part of figuring out how to present one's elf
and then you all can become my au pairs and live here forever
yeah i dont know where id go next
hmm
I got it: hogwarts legacy fan meetup - norway 2022
@obsidian grail Sounds like a good excuse to visit Norway xD
welcome
My dream was Iceland until I got a long term bf who doesnt wanna move abroad
I go to Wurzburg to visit some friends at the university often enough
and Welcome Kuu!
indeed Zeder
Check #š°choose-your-house for your house prefernce
Just finished the first fb movie
Eaz Mari, make a company, get rich, buy a second home
2022 because we'll finish the game by then and hopefully covid will be gone too
nice, Joker! Thoughts?
BUT HOLY ive been mining in minecraft for 2 hours without finding a single diamond brrrrrr
Yeah
6.5/10
hahahahahaa
haha swift If I only had the capazity
LOL ebola
ah not bad
BUT HOLY ive been mining in minecraft for 2 hours without finding a single diamond brrrrrr
@undone valley Are you in the correct layer? xD
waht VAri
YessssSSSSS
2022 because we'll finish the game by then
and hopefully covid will be gone too
@obsidian grail I think a couple months after the election
American
Damn that's some real bad luck, Mari
@wild niche directing them to FAQ
@wild niche directing them to FAQ
@obsidian grail its a given at this point
ngl I kinda miss Minecraft, Minecraft is the first place I got any moderating experience, even if I didn't do very much
same
they should have minecraft in school i swear
My first modding experience was bloody ARMA hahahaha
BUT HOLY ive been mining in minecraft for 2 hours without finding a single diamond brrrrrr
@undone valley have you used the xray mod? basically ores are like half of the world underground blocks
wasnt that the gf one Swift
It is! But I burnt out on it like... 5 years ago. I've tried to get back into it a couple of times but didn't manage to
gf one?
no vari we're on minecraft realm which doesnt support mods. But I have never had this much bad luck before
Ohhh, yeah me and my friends made minecraft mods
you said you made a mod with a girlfriend
it's client side so it should work on your end
One of which was a minecraft girlfriend mod which the lads had loads of laughs with
Man out here incentivizing exploiting xD
yeah that one
Also made a crab rave mod where everyone is just raving crabs
oh lmao, Swift, did you ever publicly release that minecraft girlfriend mod?
sounds epic swift
We did not
I wanna try the harry potter mod ive heard about, but I dont want to play alone
Yeah I'm burnt out of playing minecraft too but i'd be down to do a big project with friends like a giant castle or something
there is one but probably before she made it
Ah shame, a lot of people could probably have had fun with it, but it also sounds pretty sketch lol
There's a harry potter mod?
So this is going to sound very very weird - but the last server we had we built a factory and made all the girlfriends we had kidnapped work for us, with a gremlin baby stuck in the cieling
yeah like you can play through HP story
there are a few hp mods
...that sounds horrifying, Swift lmao
ill link it to you in DMS poiklers
sounds like my minecraft server where i named my house a slave trade
So this is going to sound very very weird - but the last server we had we built a factory and made all the girlfriends we had kidnapped work for us, with a gremlin baby stuck in the cieling
@humble sequoia slavery, I see
hahahahaha, I was playing with 23 twenty year old boys where we all split into teams and tried to nuke each other first
how do you guys feel about the new harry potter game coming out on PS5
I was in a team with 4 other lads who loved our gf mod
i did this at school on a server
excited
Blurgh I sort of have to go to do ANOVA but really cannot be bothered
this was on our schools server that we ddid for a class for a week
slavery, I see
@humble sequoia if it works it works
im playing with my bf and he has started enchanting and getting diamond tools and gear allready and I have NOTHING lmAOoooo
Stay humble
when you spend years on that game... you are unstoppable
However, the true masters play on hardcore mode and beat the ender dragon before I even have diamond
I captured the villagers and put a sign that said Slave trade with my Yt name on it
wow swift impressive
find one diamond mari and use the inventory exploit to to duplicate it 
my bf does this thing where he kidnaps villagers and breeds them into learning whatever enchants and stuff he wants them to learn. Its a bit evil
No, it's optimal
I think the absolute worst server Ive been on where I have done the most awful stuff, is when we essentially created a villager farm where we bred them, and then when there were too many, it would push one out. An industrial fan would woosh them through lava and then theyd die and we could collect the emeralds they dropped - this is modded btw
lmaooo
So yeah
i trapped one where he couldnt escape
tbh villagers are just kinda a hell scape if you think about what you're doing to them even a lil bit lmao
Like we full on built an entire castle and grounds and had like 50 villagers so we were like welp what do we do next - ah, I know - steal villagers from their beds using nets and slaughter them slowly
and got my friend to take them and do whatever he did which probably was breeding and i just had a slave trade
the most evil thing i did in a video game was shoot a dog in rdr2
we do not speak of it Vari
wow Vari thATs evil
Nah, that dog in dark souls that bloody whimpers at low health trying to protect its master
Worst thing in Minecraft I've done in make an iron golem farm, now that is evil
i tried to kill kids in Skyrim
Murders me. Ive never been able to finish that.
How dare you call yourself a Ravenclaw you dog murderer
I couldnt kill the dog.
it wouldn't shut up! All i was doing was "borrowing" a cow
how about a chicken
I would like to present a hypthesis
im just making a wheat farm now im too pissed off to mine any more
what
We all grew up with Harry Potter.
and we have all done violent things in video games when we didnt have to.
Harry Potter = Video game violence?
wheat farms are fun, it's what I spend my first few hours doing lmao
yeah pretty much swift
you may be on to something swift
yes I can see no faults at all with your methodology swift
big brain
indeed
correlation IS causation
don't let cambridge steal your glory
EXACTLY
hurry publish a paper
Whats causation? I only know correlation
idbk
My research methods professor would be shouting at me rn
cite wikipedia
VARI
cite wikipedia
@obsidian grail The one true method
Imagine me writing a paper on games and reference a fanfiction site
i see nothing wrong with that
My professors do be hating me
I literally wrote that on a english Project
Im supposed to be doing ANOVA rn and I cant because its just dry
ANOVA is a range of statistical models that measure variance
ah
Ah yes, good old statistics
oh i forgot my bad
Thankyou but no
i had to drop machine learning because i was so bad at stats
screw stats tbh
Got my good old SPSS open and ready to rumble, with my fabulous data set
stats was my only favorite math
I actually do really love stats
nice
Oh sweet summer child
i enjoyed it until it got pretty complex
This is coming from someone who likes maths, stats can go heck itself
Or more specifically, dirty data
its the only math i enjoyed and understood

This is coming from someone who likes maths, stats can go heck itself
@torpid smelt Now this shows knowleg
Dirty data gets me excited
It's one of the areas of maths I've never been able to get my head around
Its so interesting to look at
it is
guys,.... do you wanna try the minecraft mod world with me once if I purchase a server?
I would!
sure
I unfortunately don't own minecraft :c
I would love to, but alas I cannot as my laptop is a baby and my PC is at my mums hours 8 hours away
rip we cant play minecraft
@formal mantle cough the black pearl
@formal mantle cough the black pearl
@obsidian grail ā ļø
How about among us instead? xD
Wynaut right now?
whos up for it tho
Not sure, people suddenly stopped talking
I would love to but I really should do stats
The stats call
ill just ask here when ive set up a server with that mod at some point and ask if you guys wanna join then!

lets wait till after Stats
Oh I don't think those stats will take a short amount of time
possibly why
Oh that's right
Im coming, screw the stats
The prophecy
lol priorities
Im curious
shes too excited thats all it takes
I feel like im missing out with not playing among us and also not being comfortable with talking english
ah thats ok
hi guys, what's up?
So I'm watching this video about Nevile and got me thinking can it actually be possible for somebody to have characteristics.of one house and be in another like if I had kind and loyal characteristics of Hufflepuff can I still be put in Gryffindor
Most of us are not native speakers, and will be at most times a bit awkward at speaking
hi guys, what's up?
@arctic hill my roof apparently
yeah true
š
#unfunnyjokes 
So, shall I set the game up?
lmao - and if you dont feel comfy speaking thats okay! You can just listen
i think there are some native but most not even some cant talk normally
yeah exactly theres nothing wrong not wanting to
are you playing among us?
Indeed
yessiree
wait
if you guys are vcing, then i'd probably join to just chat
yeah
sound - I will add to the group
You're more than welcome to
yes indeed
oh ive been waiting
Should we start a group call ?
to see if you would
Am adding to a group
oh maybe i'll buy if i have someone to play with š¤ how much it costs?
You can play for free on mobile!
Depends on country, but 3.99⬠here in Portugal
I have it on computer
But free on mobile yes
yes you can
fabulous, Blaise should I add you to the thing so theres natter?
and i can play on mobile with you on pc?
Yep!
fabulous, Blaise should I add you to the thing so theres natter?
@humble sequoia sure
Ive never sent so many friend requests in my life
Main question is are we gonna be in a group call
Likely
Than lemme get on computer
It's just way easier with vc
yeah im trying to do it on a yt vc but its so hard because thers so many
hey can you add me then to group? but i wouldn;t play untill tomorrow cuz it's a bit late for me
even tho its semi samll
So, EU or NA server?
Thats fine! Just make sure to mute the group, Op or youll get loads of notifs
GUYS I STILL have not found any diamonds hahahahaha
Lmao
haha SCORE i found my first diamond in a chest way below ground. whaatever
Watch some guy on YouTube named ging ging and watch his Minecraft video
Is this game online now?
What game?
Harry Potter game
Idk check the faq on this discord and let me know
Ok
lol
Lol
check out the #š°choose-your-house for your house
Chose slyerthin
or huffle
Anyone remember some guy named Eliot
nyet
Pick whichever house you got on Pottermore
Exactly
More fun that way, if you want it
yeh
@viral magnet It has a release date of 2021 so not yet!
play every house multiple times
Watching Fantastic beasts and where to find them
nice
I'm hoping all the creatures that's in the film will be in the game
Honestly love the fantastic beasts franchise more then Harry Potter is that bad
we do see some of the new creatures in the trailer
absolutely
I wonder if there will ever be a film about all the different schools
Omg wait I hope theres books in the game which you can read which will tell you some stuff about the Lore of the Wizarding world and give more info on the other schools and wizards
i would be surprised if there weren't lore collectables
We find Merlin's Grave and finally find out what his wand is or we find him alive and well
Talk to the Hogwarts founders maybe
dumbledore as a student would be cool
Wasnāt there American school that was on the Pottermore website š¤
Honestly love the fantastic beasts franchise more then Harry Potter is that bad
@azure needle my first time watching it today
6.5/10
the school from fantastic beasts is in america
ilvermorny maybe?
I thought there was gonna be a release of books on that school at some point. Or maybe my friend was wrong
Ilvermorny has funny sounding houses. I'm in Pukwudgie according to the old Pottermore quiz.
It would be nice to get a new Wizarding world story that has nothing to do with hogwarts or itās graduates
I like the castle
it has a nice esthetic
Hello!
How's it's going
Pretty bad
Why
To much work to do
Ginny died
š„ŗ
i'm the thunderbird house in ilvermony
it's hard to visualize the ilvermony houses without books to learn more about them
Iām a wampus
Ginny died
@topaz musk huh?
Good evening peps
No one noes
da
Interesting
ļø ļø ļø ļøļø ļø ļø ļø ļø
hi
š
House banter is fine but leave jokes like that out of it, please.
what joke
You don't know what I was making fun of
I could make fun of voldemort
Give him detention with Filch! š¤£
Pfft. You do a fine enough job of that without my help š¤£
Hmm
All houses are great tho
Indeed they are
guys
Hello orange!
i kinda forgot to do my homework
Hahaha, it'll be fine, tell your teacher that you were doing it at home night before and left it on your desk and that you'll promise to bring it in the next day
If you're on online school, ZOOM you better do it
Mmm depending on which subject, you can just ignore and do while teacher is going over it
Unless American schooling system is completely different should be fine
Yeah it really depends
š
Does any1 know when are they gonna publish New info, gameplays, etc
Or good night
Does any1 know when are they gonna publish New info, gameplays, etc
@soft torrent
No new info yet, I wouldn't get very excited on seeing new info soon. I guess they'll show up something new in the following months
š
Hmm even though they've created a discord chat and numerous social media pages, so I may be wrong and we will get new info in the following weeks
One can only guess lmao

Meow
šØāš«

Does any1 know when are they gonna publish New info, gameplays, etc
@soft torrent #š¢announcements
Oh i know, but i wished they announce more stuffšŖ


Probably December 10 but not sure

Any1 here has the sensation, Like.. you've sen this game, and all the games you have, are boring because you rally want hogwarts legacy?
Really *
Yeah
@dense geode i wish we can have an official release date
@soft torrent i hope soo š
Im literally dying for playing this game
is this game a mmorpg game and we can do anything we want like any mmorpg does?
@soft torrent yup but i kinda have to think bout ps5's price :V
Im so excited, and we are at october 2020, and it releases 2021 with no off dateš
Ahhh it's fine, I've waited 9 years for my hogwarts letter, what's a year more haha
š š
šš½
Sorry, I have no idea about grades haha - was supposed to get my letter at 11, why is it 9 years late 
š
And hello Destiny!
Helloo
heyo
It's good! It's currently 5:21am so I should probably sleep haha
How's it do for you?
Lets all cry together, waiting for HL to be release
HL = Half Life?
Hogwarts legacy
Naps are fantastic, and honestly, let's Gabe
lol oh
it's a little strange at times too, sometimes when I feel tired but take a short break or a nap I feel fine just afterwards
There's too many acronyms haha. AC = Assassins creed, animal crossing, air conditioner, after covid
Oh it definitely is! Can't wait to set up a cute pumpkin patch and wear the spooky clothes!
I wonder what the rest of the update is
Can already tell the trading scene is gonna go mad!
@humble sequoia owh my i kinda hope it has multi player option
lol literally everyone says that
Haha, I'm afraid for now I believe it's only confirmed single, but who knows what the future will bring I suppose
but this one is already great enough
Haha, I'm afraid for now I believe it's only confirmed single, but who knows what the future will bring I suppose
@humble sequoia like boss raiding or battle other player in forbidden forest
a friend told me there will be a co-op action going on.
like a battle royale thingy XD
does that friend happen to be a dev?
Nyet
Unfortunately not haha, it's only confirmed single player for now
HP BATTE ROYALE 
I hope you can meet with other player online
oh boy
a BR would be terrible
Like i meer with swift ar the castle
For example
Thatās all we Hazel ev
btw you probably know who I am now
I tend to change profile pic and name for each month
You do be the choccy deer
lol yep
huffle here and there
Yeah
@humble sequoia trust me, ive read it thousends of times, lol
Haha I try and remember people's actual usernames as well as nicknakes
And sameee Gabe
oh yeah
I'm also the kind of person who reads through rules as well
Yeah
i almost forgot to work on all of the rules
Ive seen the trailer a billion times, HAHAš
i think there is a typo in the #šfaq section
Q: Is Hogwarts Legacy an original story?
A: Hogwarts Legacy is an open-world, single-player, action role-playing
Just rewatching the trailer again and again
I did the rules, didn't really seem like there was one for fonts tho
@humble sequoia so do I
I am quite sure that answer is correct in context
They have to be appropriately vague rn
please correct me if i say something that against any of rules
cause my english is so bad and i cant get through rules :V
Hahahaha it's all good Hermes, the run down is no NSFW, politics or discussion topics that could devolve into debates. Swear words are filtered generally, and try and keep it friendly, and if you type in caps it auto deletes
also seems like "haha" will rule over "xd" in terms of numbers now
That's kind of the stuff that comes up most often. Oh yeah, no leaks
it's winning
Oh no, I'm a huge haha-er
yep
Yeah we try to make sure we avoid the leaks
Alright I'm gonna try and sleep before it gets to 6am
Good night my lovelies, have a lovely evening or day for yourself 
seem like short clips
Hahahaha it's all good Hermes, the run down is no NSFW, politics or discussion topics that could devolve into debates. Swear words are filtered generally, and try and keep it friendly, and if you type in caps it auto deletes
@humble sequoia i rarely debate about politics or something that could make us debate one another and i rarely use caps, so i think ill avoid any trouble in the future :V
Alright I'm gonna try and sleep before it gets to 6am
Good night my lovelies, have a lovely evening or day for yourself :mmaHeartMilk:
@humble sequoia good morning from here XD
have fun in the dream world
Have a wonderful knight to as well Swift
@humble sequoia bye bye, hace a Good night š
however if you embolden italics you'll be fine
Also tags works
@hearty lagoon
Huh
Are You a illusion?
@humble sequoia 
Am I illusion?
Well I'd be an awfully good witch to create a perfect intelligence out of an illusion
Also, goodbye.

Hallo

What
I dislike this knowledge please remove it from my memory
I appreciate it
Hmm
Meep
question for all who read it!!:
what's your Favorite harry potter game before legacy was announced?!?!?!?!
Personal one is an old one i don't remember what it was on, ( i think it was on PC)
it was the harry potter and the philosophers stone one moment from that came has stuck with me forever
it was the last trial before the mirror/final boss fight and it was a potion puzzle where you have to keep an eye on the right potion or die of poisoning!!

@limpid iron damn. that was a good part, I liked it so much that later I was surprised when it was not in the movie, I figured it was part of the original story. hahah
my favorite HP game is Gmod's Hogwarts RP server
it's not official but it is the best one, and by far
if you mean from the officials, maybe the chamber of secrets for PS2 (it's not the same as the chamber of secrets for PC, they are different games altogether)
i've never been big on Gmod but i've heard it was good and i'll still count it!! and weirdly enough i played that one before the PC version, we had just gotten a PS2 and got it for Christmas
i've heard there were a few different versions depending on your console
Is the gmod server still active?
Is the gmod server still active?
@humble sequoia yes, and there's more than one but the main one (SBS) is, of course
and as vibrant as ever. usually when I enter it there's like 98 people, lowest i've seen it these days is 60-something
https://tenor.com/view/uh-big-gorilla-lips-red-gif-13782436
@hardy kraken well it's really good and addictive. hah
I've never done GMOD rp
I can't help but feel like, because GMOD, it's wack
wack in what sense?
gameplay-wise, it's like a completely different game
but ye there's a lot of silliness within, some screwing around
but tehre is some order too. admins and mods enforce the rules, and prefects also on a lower level, detaining people who don't comply
(you have a detention stick with which you send people to jail if they don't follow the teacher's orders or break the rules, like freespelling, etc)
and every 10 minutes ther's a different class
you learn spells in some, and get homework (to earn XP to increase year) in others
some times instead of class there's quidditch, or free time, or a lockdown because dark forces (also players) attack the school (this one is rare)
potions (you craft potions with ingredients you buy or some that are rare and you must find around), etc.
Moin
Mooooin
:+1:
Has anyone else wondered why teachers thought it was a good idea to teach teens the love potion?
The very existence of it is frankly a worrying thing.
Meow
It's not a society that has embraced health and safety is it.
So was throwing a 15 year old at dragons
@hearty lagoon from what I know they didnāt want to he was forced to do it
No, it is mot;:P
But the love potion is sick itās kinda like you have a very devoted slave
tfw the goblet of fire is literally god
Tfw you realize the goblet of fire is literally the burning bush

Well itās like teaching how to make ghb in a muggle college basically 
there are a lot of very ethically worrying things common in the hp universe
Like what?
The wizards having a sentient slave race.
too tired, gonna fall asleep soon. mostly just all the potions and such. its weird that the knowledge to do things like impersonate people, or cause someone to fall deeply in love with you, is so easily within reach to 11 year olds. not to mention the potions that, if mixed incorrectly (or correctly seeing how you view it) could become a deadly poison indistinguishable to the taker. the house elves like stranger said. the blood purity is an obvious but essential part to the story. a lot of the spells theyre taught are strangely useful basically for defending or attacking another wizard. like really, by the end of it all do we really understand what exactly hogwarts was teaching them to do except defend against dark wizards?
The three headed dog in the castle, the giant killer-spider āAragogā, Peeves, hanging students by their thumbs in pre-1900 detentions, triwizard tournament etc
@wicked beacon there are many different subjects teached during hogwarts, that could be useful in the wizarding world. In the movies they showed just a few
