Forgive me for posting about this but some of the harry potter worldbuilding is soooo funny in hindsight. the political dimensions of every single wizard child in britain and ireland being expected to attend the same school in the mid 90s were not thought through in the slightest but what do you expect from an englishwoman I suppose
The wizard kid from glasgow who pointedly only wears orange robes and the wizard kid from west belfast locking eyes with each other across the classroom as their teacher once again writes out the full text of the spell which allows you to torture someone to death on the board:
I mean, it is a small plot point (in the very first chapter of the very first book) that almost all Wizards are so detached from Muggle society that they don't even know what to wear to blend in with the public or how toasters work.
So this is like complaining that none of the students at the X-Mansion use their powers to get involved in Amish blood feuds.
Very bold of you to assume that any alleged disconnection from normal people's culture could get anywhere near to stopping the protestant urge to march
I mean, it's a pretty common urban fantasy trope that there are secret societies of werewolves/vampires/whathaveyou that exclusively care about their own internal politics and don't really give a rip about Walter Mondale running for president. You can ding Rowling for that, but it's a genre convention. If anything, Rowling is less guilty of it, since she's writing a children's book while most urban fantasy is aimed at adults.
Very bold of you to assume that being a vampire or a werewolf would suppress the protestant urge to march either
