If she thought about it at all, which I sincerely doubt, I'm guessing she'd just have the students magic their way past border crossings and paperwork - which is its own very special brand of seriously?!

It's really clear that she's coming at it from the perspective of someone who isn't at all familiar with the area she's writing about, on a social, political, or historical level, and hasn't done enough research to paper over the gaps. Even ignoring the cultural failures, the set-up she's imagined just doesn't work logistically speaking.

I enjoyed the HP books, but man, her world-building is so... absurd. IT just doesn't hold up to any logic

It didn't bug me in the books, because they were from Harry's perspective, and a pre-teen/teenager having a very shallow understanding of the world around him is reasonable. It's when she started writing articles and other works from a more adult perspective that still had that very shallow, nonsensical level of world-building that it bugged me, since it wasn't possible to pretend it was just the character just being oblivious any more.
