Harry Potter Fans Will Talk....

Here is a transcription of a twitter conversation between my fellow HP fans and I.

Here is a transcription of a twitter conversation between my fellow HP fans and I.

@satire_face

I'm going to assume that Durmstrang is in Finland or Russia. The students' surnames have "-offs," and "-strang" is Nordic. #triangulated

@Captainfenris

@Satire_face Ah, but what of Gregorovitch, the wand maker?

@savagedalton44 

@satire_face Wouldn't it be whatever country his Quidditch team plays for...? I can't remember. Bulgaria or something?

@savagedalton44

@satire_face Krum's, I mean

@satire_face

@Captainfenirs -vitch is also a Russian ending, I think.

@captainfenris

@Savagedalton44 Oh. Right. Duh.

@satire_face

@Savagedalton44 Seamus is from Ireland. Though that is UK....

@satire_face

@Captainfenris lol

@satire_face

@Captainfenris @savagedalton44 perhaps Ukraine then, close to the Slavic states AND Nordic? Lithuania?

@satire_face

@Captainfenris @savagedalton44 OR do Quidditch teams draft foreigners onto their teams, like the futball (ehem, REAL football) World Cup?

@theatremagjoe

@satire_face @captainfenris I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that Durmstrang is in Russia.

@captainfenris

@Savagedalton44 @satire_face I'm want to lean towards it being Russia or Ukraine. Krum may be Bulgarian, but isn't that more germanic?

@savagedalton44

@theatremagjoe @satire_face @captainfenris That would make sense on both counts. Bulgaria borders Romania, which doesn't fit those names.

@savagedalton44

@SavageDalton44 @theatremagjoe @satire_face @captainfenrisBulgarian has a more... Czech feel to it. Unusual, hard to pronounce

@theatremagjoe

@SavageDalton44 @satire_face @captainfenris Quidditch drafts whomever. Like futbol.

@satire_face

@Theatremagjoe @captainfenris @savagedalton44 Russia then. Slavic anyway. It makes sense with their hard outlook, b/c of their history.

@satire_face

Only HP nerds try to triangulate the location of a wizard school according to disparate facts. @captainfenris @theatremagjoe@savagedalton44

@savagedalton44

.... I wonder if wizards in Romania have to deal with a lot more vampires, proportionally?

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 and werewolves. lol.

@captainfenris

@Savagedalton44 And is there less anti-werewolf prejudice?

@savagedalton44

@satire_face I reckon in the HP world Dracula probably *was* a Vampire, and the Vlad the Impaler stuff was a cover up.

@captainfenris

@Satire_face and remember, she's british(rowling). Biggest rivals are France and Russia

@savagedalton44

@captainfenris @Satire_face I thought that was a bit funny too. Though Madame Maxime or whatever was an utter cow to poor Hagrid.

@captainfenris

@SavageDalton44 @Satire_face Though, this brings up an interesting question: Is there a school in America? Why don't we get to compete?

@savagedalton44

@captainfenris @Satire_face I wrote that fanfic once. It was in Louisiana.

@captainfenris

@SavageDalton44 @Satire_face I could see that. Either there or Salem, Mass. :P

@satire_face 

@Savagedalton44 @captainfenris I wondered that. Maybe we're considered "delayed development," or to young of blood.

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris fanfic. *snicker, snicker*

@savagedalton44

@satire_face @captainfenris Nah. We're just banned for being too awesome.

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris We DO have some representation in America. http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Salem_Witches'_Institute

@captainfenris

@satire_face @Savagedalton44 Heh, could you imagine? American wizards? Especially through the lens of a British writer. . .

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris she'd have us all in ten gallon hats.... @.@

@savagedalton44

@satire_face @captainfenris Hey. Don't you say a word. It's long buried now anyway.

@captainfenris

@satire_face @SavageDalton44 Haha, or just arrogant loners that think they own the world :P Which wouldn't be too off from most Americans

@savagedalton44

@satire_face @captainfenris I pictured it as like, guys in tophats, jabots, and suits, and women in long flowy dresses as opposed to robes

@captainfenris

@SavageDalton44 See, I figured that American wizards would be more vaudeville/Vegas inspired

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris We'd be the rude, obnoxious, oddly dressed ones. lol (I just need to shut up and move to the UK....lol)

@captainfenris

@satire_face @SavageDalton44 So maybe no robes, just dress like Muggles?

@satire_face

@captainfenris @SavageDalton44 yeah, vaudeville. And Vegas. With a liking for biscuits and gravy.

@satire_face

@captainfenris @SavageDalton44 Or, ironically, like Puritans...

@captainfenris

@satire_face @SavageDalton44 Your school uniform is a tuxedo with tails. Congratulations. And our wand maker lives in either China or Mexico

@savagedalton44

@captainfenris @satire_face Just old timey clothes, is how I pictured it. Lol As in early 1900s, late 1800s Western clothes.

@satire_face

@captainfenris @SavageDalton44 How feminist. I'm in coattails.

@savagedalton44

@captainfenris @satire_face Western as in "Anglo", not.... boots and spurs. Though I would TOTALLY be down with that, too.

@savagedalton44

@satire_face @captainfenris I dunno, a nice dress might be a good look for you. Something in a pale pink? ;P

@captainfenris

@SavageDalton44 @satire_face Actually, each state would probably have it's own school and dress code. Much more 'merican

@captainfenris

This may be the most amazing twitter conversation of all time. . .

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris Aw, Alex too? ;)

@satire_face

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris OH GOSH! Mental pic! For @savagedalton44 too.....

@captainfenris

@satire_face @SavageDalton44 Oh, honey, you know I would look just FABULOUS in a nice pink dress, like, Oh-em-gee.

@savagedalton44

@satire_face @captainfenris Sometimes I thank God I'm not a visual thinker. Now is one such time.

. . . . continues with a tangent conversation about our various attempts at the gay and lesbian voice impressions . . . 

@theatremagjoe

Oy! You crazy people. You killed my phone. -_-#thinkingofdisconnectingtwitter #tweetcatchuptime

@savagedalton

@theatremagjoe ..... Sorry.

@theatremagjoe

@SavageDalton44 @satire_face @captainfenris Honestly... I'd say it's cuz 'Merica's not awesome enough. But, if need be, Salem, Mass.

@captainfenris

@Theatremagjoe It's a beautiful conversation

@satire_face

@Theatremagjoe too bad you didn't join in. I missed your input. Lol

@theatremagjoe

@satire_face @captainfenris @SavageDalton44 I'd think there would be very few, if any, purebloods among the Americans.

@theatremagjoe

@SavageDalton44 @captainfenris @satire_face I'd be down with boots and spurs. I'm halfway there. ;)

@savagedalton44

@theatremagjoe @satire_face @captainfenris Oh, I dunno... Native American Shamans? It could happen.

@satire_face

@Theatremagjoe @captainfenris @savagedalton44 Americans are muttbloods. Lol

@captainfenris

@SavageDalton44 @theatremagjoe @satire_face Yeah, Native Americans would be the only Pure Blood families, unless any emmigrated

@theatremagjoe

@captainfenris @satire_face @SavageDalton44 HAHAHA I so wish my phone hadn't died on me. I love you guys.

@savagedalton44

@satire_face @Theatremagjoe @captainfenris Hey, mutts are more resilient genetically than fancy purebreeds, you know.... ;P

@theatremagjoe

@captainfenris @SavageDalton44 @satire_face Sounds like a quote Snape would say if he ever gave me Legilimency lessons. ;D

@satire_face

@Savagedalton44 @captainfenris @theatremagjoe maybe the Indians cull them all. In their casinos! However, do yous guys think you'd be magic?

. . . . and then we continued on to discuss who we'd be, what our strengths at Hogwarts were, and annoyed our fellows on Twitter. Who got ALL our tweets. Because Twitter got stupid.
