RESULTS:

This kitchen is getting around that stupid rule by selling you raw, unprepared chicken, and then charging your EBT account for raw, unprepared chicken.

Then as a side thing, totally unrelated, they cook the chicken for free. Since you bought raw chicken with the EBT, it's legal. There's no law against cooking people's raw chicken for free for them. That's just charity.

So we know the wizarding world is behind on muggle tech

And we’ve seen how European schools operate, specifically with hogwarts, and how old English culture and history is infused throughout (knights, spirits, Latin, castles, dragons, etc)

But what about cultures that are way different?

A Chinese wizarding school. Spells in old mandarin. Traditional Chinese clothes instead of the robes at hogwarts. Buddhism, confusionism, and d/taoism infused into the magic and classes that are taught. More information on dragons.

And similarly, Japan too! Samurai and shintoism. Traditional japanese clothes as uniforms. A more spiritual approach to spellcasting- spirit wards, sage, prayer beads, etc. Not to mention wonderful origami designs and Japanese architecture! I think their school could be by the water or maybe in it Atlantis-style

Greco-roman wizarding schools with lotsve great mythology (Pegasus, nymphs, gorgons…). Divination is BIG at these schools (oracles, astrology). Togas and tunicas and stolas. Maybe patron gods instead of houses (that might be a little too percy Jackson tho). Gladiators and Spartans and Roman soldiers!

And in Africa!! Bantu-based spells. Maybe Islamic and voodoo influences (depending on where in Africa you come from). A far more naturalistic approach to magic with emphasis on animals and plants.

Beautiful architecture and clothes in middle eastern wizarding schools. Islamic and jewish influences of course. Hijabs with moving patterns, no iconography so instead of moving pictures the geometric architecture shifts and changes. Old Arabic or Hebrew or something else I’m not educated on to be the base for spells.

Slavic/Eastern European wizarding schools with huge fur coats, great defense against the dark arts classes, and a bunch of vampire rights activism.

Norse and Germanic schools with heavy viking themes.

Latin American schools with lotsve Native American spiritualism. Aztec-like temples, emphasis on gold and beads and spirits… Very colorful buildings and clothes. Festive approaches to death (dia de los muertos!)

I think there was just so much wizard world building that was ignored!!! Culture mixed with wizardry is something we should really look into way more!

I encourage fans who aren’t from Britain, France, or white America to try and add on different ideas for this!
