Seriously.

And it's extra stupid, because let's face it... half the wizards have absolutely no clue about Muggle stuff that they SHOULD know about (like electricity and policemen -- surely they'd at least know the name!) let alone a celebration from another continent with a different culture.

English people just Do Not celebrate thanksgiving. It would be like celebrating Finnish Independence for how much we give a fuck. We do our Turkey eating at Christmas, so it's not like were going without lol.

It's not even as if it would migrate over from the US. It hasn't for us muggles because it has no reason to and the American wizards and English wizards don't even seem to be aware of the local names for non-magic people, ffs.

Unless an American is involved ... yeah no. They don't even celebrate Bonfire Night.

I mean, if you want to be ultra traditional we'd be having goose at Christmas but I agree, if you said "turkey" to a 21st century Brit it's going to be Christmas or nothing. Unless (like in my case) you have friends from over there and you're trying to be nice. Of course the couple of times I've been involved in such a thing my friends have told us all the stuff that just isn't the same haha. I mean, they appreciated the gesture but we didn't make as big a deal out of it as they'd experience back home I guess.

On the flipside Burns Suppers sometimes seem to be more of a big deal away from Scotland than within, though I do still enjoy a good Burns Night :)

The extreme separation of different wizard nationalities just makes the Harry Potter element even more silly. Wizards in JKR's world just don't seem to be all that worldly compared to muggles.

They really don't! I don't know if that's her being weird as a writer and a lack of planning, or if it's supposed to represent how insular they are!
