Re: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

My gut reaction is she must think we're all how the Americans she finds on Twitter portray us.

Surely she can come up with a better word. What little I've heard of the American side of magic, overall, has not left me impressed. Europe gets fancy words and things, USA gets generic placeholder-y terms. :(

Oh? I haven't been following the news closely (this was just plastered all over my facebook), but what other boring terms has she come up with for America?
I kind of agree with you, it's lacking in whimsy.

Offhand, the only thing I can think of is the group of witches from the Salem Witches' Institute that showed up at the Quidditch World Cup, and something about that just irked me (compared with all the magic school names in Europe). I feel like I've seen a handful of references in various places to the American side of wizarding, though, and it's always been a letdown. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Huh, yeah, that's a good point. I mean you get "Hogwarts", "Beauxbatons" and "Durmstrang", and then... Salem Witches' Institute? It really is boring.
It could just be that Rowling doesn't have so much inspiration when it comes to the US. It's hard to make up stuff that's "native" to other cultures when you don't have a good feel for them.
