Why does Europe have such a monopoly on wizard schools?

All the other continents are about as dull as the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

JK Rowling is a racist piece of shit, that's why

based mummy jo triggering fat yank geeks and third worlders

WE WANT TO JOIN THE BLACK BVLL SCHOOL

Because you need to be a cultured individual in order to attend a wizard school

Why does that one part of South America go to the European School?

French Guiana, it's a part of France

>hogwarts was in s*otland

This is how a sheltered, liberal white middle-aged British woman sees the world.
Three different groups for Europe and then
>rich america and australia
>poor america
>poor niggers from africa
>ruskies
>gooks

>be Chinese
>1937
>go to wizard school in Japan
>while the Japs genocide my people

Stay out of beaubatons, this is a FRENCH school for FRENCH STUDENTS

muggles OUT

That school according to wiki is the most muggle friendly next to the African school.

When you're the best you gotta take muggles so your level isn't too high for miserable british schools

Wheres the image from /tv/ where hte person updated the map where it had middle east with north africa as its own school and india as its own school, brazil on its own too i think.

Would make more sense.

JK Rowling was shit a worldbuilding. Considering there's only one school in Britain, the population of British wizards would only be in the thousands...

From wiki. The most muggle-born friendly schools to the least friendly.
>African - don’t have to be African or ME
>Western Europe - Very friendly to muggle born children
>Hogwarts - a bit restrictive but okay
>South American - Bans non-Spanish/Portuguese speakers but you’re mostly cool
>Swedish school - kinda selective
>USA - you’d be lucky if your parents knew you were a wizard or if you could attend
>Soviet Union (lel) - you’ll be bullied if one of your parents are a muggle
>Japan - one or both of your parents being muggle = No school for you

Based japs

There is no such thing as "Europe" or "Europeans".

>special snowflake school for island monkeys
>ONE school for fucking india, china, japan, entire SEA, numbering like 3 billion
>because pajeet and jap culture/tradion are basically the same right?
>ONE school for ENTIRE africa plus MENA
>as if some oil arab princes would go to an ugandan school when they fucking hate niggers
>christin/muslim divide doesn't matter lol
>whole south america gets one school of course, lazy as fuck
>mexico isn't with the other latins but goes to burger school
>remember 1 school = 1 continent (except europe lol)
>australia is burger instead of bong for some reason

What a hack. Also what the fuck is a Durmstrang you stupid bitch

Because wizards as we know them from fantasy are inspired in european crap

Its because we french are so perfect they may as well be magical creatures already

>make novel for kids
>suddenly autists want you to make it into an expanded universe star wars crap you don't care about

Are Stephen King books bad?

They vary wildly. Goes from "Pretty Alright" to "What the fuck am I reading"

shit tier pasta

How can you go to wizard school if you aren't a wizard?

>be Japanese wizard student
>have to sit next to a bunch of smelly chinks, poos, flips, and gooks
>fellow countrymen are 5% of the student population
>school is in the middle of fucking tokyo, the largest city on earth and one of the most homogenous cities of its size, making any minorities stick out like a sore thumb and attracting attention from muggles
>mfw brits who are only half the population of Japan get their own school far away from any muggle areas

Apparently the Jap school is on a fucking mountain.

Judging from OPs map it would still be very uncomfortably close. Why not the wilderness of Hokkaido where nobody lives?

Are... Are you thinking LOTR is shit tier l'ami?

Idk. Transportation hub?

>be ugandan wizard student
>make yourself appear out of thin air and scream "EXPECT THE UNEXPECTABLE"
>beat the shit out of gun toothin muggles with your magical kung fu

>Transportation
Irrelevant when you have flying broomsticks.

Why does Hogwarts use a fucking train from the late industrial revolution then?

Because J.K Rowling is a retarded worldbuilder.

Tolkien put much, much, MUCH more effort in world-building than Tolkien did. It's not even comparable. The difference in effort definitely shows in the writing imo, and also greatly contributes to immersiveness and character building (because they actually come from somewhere, have a context, rather than just "le boy wizard and his friend wizards against le evil people xD").

As for the movies, the cinematography of LotR is simply much better.

>than Tolkien did
than Rowling did

>Tolkien put much, much, MUCH more effort in world-building than Tolkien did.
Split personality :P

because muh brituhn
Expect the african wizards to travel on top of elephants and the japanese ones getting molested in a packed subway

There are people on this board that are angry because they don’t have a fictional wizardry school close enough to them.

>molested in a packed subway
I watch that bara too

Also, to bring another popular fantasy series into the comparison: ASoIaF suffers from the same problem as Harry Potter: the quality of the world-building is simply lackluster, because it focused way too much on characters (especially the ones of immediate interest in the series) rather than the world itself. This just ruins immersion, because you're instantly teleported into a story about characters and are "forced" to accept them as they're described, rather than gradually brought into a world which actually makes sense, from which point you encounter the characters and understand them in a way that is much more natural.

Fantasy without highly extensive and borderline autistic world-building is simply a pointless and boring genre.

>Not watching the south american spinoff with school houses separated by race,students struggling to communicate in portuñol and located in the middle of a tropical forest full of chupacabras, giant mosquitos and uncontacted canibal tribes
pleb

how the fuck do surinamese and guyanese go to school then?

I guess they go to African school
