Empress's telegram is a full of her screaming like a mentally stunted schizo every few hours and yelling about 'haters', wouldn't recommend it.
I'm just waiting for the final crack link to drop in there so I can bounce.

Edit: Is someone lurking?

They didn't have to invent aeroplanes to immigrate easily, they can fucking teleport around if they want (I am not clear on why they bother with brooms and flying carriages).

Oh boy I get to lore sperg, sweet!

Teleportation in the Wizarding World is referred to as Apparation and is not used in all contexts for the following 4 reasons:

1) Apparation is unpleasant - While it is possible to become accustomed to the sensation with repetition, Apparation doesn’t feel very pleasant. It is common for people to vomit upon reaching their destination the first time they apparate.

2) Apparation requires a loisence - Wizards are not allowed to apparate outside of apparation lessons until they successfully pass a practical exam and receive their apparation loisence. Apparation is a fairly advanced skill and the test can’t be taken until age 17, which is Wizarding Britain’s age of majority.

3) Apparation is fucking hardcore - The reason you need a license for apparation is because if you fuck it up you can seriously maim yourself. This is called splinching. In the books, there’s a girl who apparates a short distance during an apparation lesson and accidentally leaves one of her legs behind, which then has to be magically reattached. To pass the exam, you have to apparate a whole bunch of times without splinching yourself at all - Ron Weasley failed his exam on the first attempt because he left half an eyebrow behind, which is still splinching even if its a very mild form which doesn’t require medical attention.

4) Apparation has hard limits - The further the place you’re apparating to is from your starting point, the more likely you are to splinch yourself and the more severe the splinch is likely to be. Not even super powerful wizards try to apparate to another country or continent because there’s a pretty high chance that they’ll literally just fucking die.


So yeah, other methods of magical transportation are better suited to long distance travel, and a lot of wizards are willing to forgo the speed of teleportation in favour of the safety and comfort of a carriage or broomstick.

If I remember, 6th-year students will start learning to apparate

I underestimated Rowling's worldbuilding if she actually thought this through and established these rules in the books via the practical examples listed.
 
this talk about teleporting reminds me of something in the original nier: the main character asks if telleportation is possible, and weis tells him yes it is, but the risk of merging into something because of objects and altitude made it so messy that they just don't do it.
that would be better then saying ripping yourself apart just doing short distances.

Also don't forget that Ron actually splinched in the last book when they tried to shake of a Death Eater after the trio had raided the Wizard ministry. Hermione had to work overtime to keep Ron alive. I think Harry himself thought that using a broom would be way more comfortable.

As much as I hate reddit, r/HobbyDrama is probably the best place on that site for Kiwi-esque OPs. The mods have decent standards for submissions and the subreddit has a reputation for high quality write ups on drama. My only criticism is that sometimes the OPs power level and put their own irrelevant personal opinion in their post and that they do not promote the use of archiving so older posts (like this one on Empress) have many broken links.

to JKR's credit her worldbuilding isn't incredibly shallow, even if not terribly deep. She recognized the standard fantasy issue with magic (have to prevent everything from being solveable by magic) and she worked on it a bit.

It mainly fell apart at the end when she had too much to juggle and was a bit too famous already. A solid edit/rewrite of all seven books as a complete unit would have helped.
 
In terms of worldbuilding, I think it’s important to recognize that most people’s knowledge of Harry Potter comes solely from the movies, which…aren’t that good, to be honest. The books are much more detailed, and Rowling has added a ton of information (for instance, such as why wizards don’t use electronics) on her websites over the years in response to fan inquiries. Now, there are some big gaps — the economy and medicine are on really shaky ground still, to be honest — but every new piece of media gives more information. I particularly enjoyed the way the Wizarding World chooses its leader, which is not done through an election but rather with the approval of a magical creature.
 
Ok, I havent played the game, but I've been watching my brother play it, I have to say, Professor Garlick makes me feel stuff that I should not talk about in public.

I thought her love and enthusiasm for plants was pretty motivational too bro, we're not gonna make fun of you. I kinda want to start a little garden again myself, I've been meaning to but I've been putting it off and this game got me thinking about it again.

On an unrelated note though I wanna fuck her into confetti.
