It’s hard to get past him saying she’s from USA. I know it’s just a turn of phrase and I have no particular affinity for it being UK but the setting was very prominent in the stories so you really need to get the country right. I mean fine, no one outside the British Isles really understands the overlapping grouping names there, but this is an entire ocean off

I would encourage you to have goodwill and assume that when he spoke about Hermione being from the US, he wasn't referring to her actual origin, but rather emphasising that she had a normal background similar to his students in the US. This is how I interpreted it.

It is still so strange how much more wholesome Lemmy is than Reddit. It’s been several months and maybe I can’t get Reddit entirely out of my head
