Every school but Hogwarts is just “magic castle” run through Google translate, and all of them are varying degrees of racist. Castelobruxo requires students to wander through the jungle to find it, because it’s in the jungle of course.
I love how Rowling dodges the difficult questions like “hey how did the magical indigenous traditions in colonized nations survive and not just kill every cracker in a ten thousand mile radius at some point in the last six hundred years?” by instead just being too racist for it to be a problem.
Given that the first world wizards blindly emulate capitalist society when there’s no real need it’s coherent to imagine that they helped colonization by waging colonial war against the magical indigenous people
Yeah that doesn’t make it look cool but that’s an explanation!
The funny part of Castelobruxo (in addition to being named in Portuguese because viva Brasilia I guess?) is that it’s Witch-Castle in the sense that the castle is a witch, not that it’s a castle of witches.
i feel like a secret entrance that teleports you to something machu picchu adjacent (but is a reconstruction of machu picchu) would be the way to go or something but idk maybe i have a small brain. tie it in with the el dorado shit or something and killing conquistadors and illegal loggers
You’ve stumbled into the core reason why Harry Potter is still huge: the setting is so full of plot holes, so poorly constructed, yet just interesting enough that you started writing fan fiction that was better than the original, purely by accident.
