People Roast Ridiculous Map of the Wizarding Schools in the Harry Potter Universe
To say that we are not fans of JK Rowling would be an understatement, but even if she stopped being a TERF, there's plenty to admonish her for. Today, we learned of another reason. While people have been discussing the subject of JK Rowling's sorta kinda racist map of the Wizarding schools for some time, the controversy (and later, hilarity) came to our attention via the @TerribleMaps Twitter account.
The @TerribleMaps post features a fan's geographic depiction of Rowling's schools (the original is pretty illegible), and it's pretty ridiculous to say the least. As many users have pointed out, there's no regard for population, and the map smacks of colonialism. It's also interesting that many nations with long-running conflicts are, apparently, sharing wizarding schools. You think Israelis and Palestinians are playing Quidditch fair?
While this is all happening in the world of Make Believe, the map has gotten a whole lot of real-life attention. And while some people are calling foul, we're really in it for the jokes. And, boy, are there jokes.
