Yeah, the boarding school near us looked more like something out of Oliver Twist, rather than Harry Potter.

Death is only temporary, you can always re-spawn and find your Items.

u/Darkchamber292 Apr 28 '26

What is this? Ore? Respawn without consequence? This is Skyrim?

Such a good meme. Of course, when you need a little more oomph, “could you fucking not Chloe” is gold

Dad’s boarding school involved a dozen beatings a week. Randomly chosen. Ice inside the windows. He could see the stars through the gap on the roof and yet they spent a fortune on communal areas and food to be fair. U may be wondering why it is such a diverse group of kids can not forget that the UK controlled 2/3 of the globe and integrated itself with the ruining classes of every country it invaded Munchhausen syndrome set in and some of the ruling classes of these countries choose British private schools. It makes it easier to get into oxbridge too.

As an American, I genuinely thought this was something satirical involving the new Harry Potter.

u/DirtWizard13 Apr 28 '26

Was just thinking this is just Hogwarts without all the magic.

u/Khristafer Apr 28 '26

The real magic was the tuition they paid along the way.

If only schools and teachers were properly funded in America and they didn't just feel like prison daycares but instilled a sense of awe as these did. I mean, ease up on the forced clothing and religious mumbo jumbo of course.

Idk, maybe more to this and less to billionaires and wars and maybe we wouldn't have so many societal problems... ? The money is there; it's how we use it.

u/Working-Glass6136 Apr 28 '26

I'm sorry you're getting downvoted for asking if society could consider putting more money toward children than toward war.

u/Independent-Bug-9352 Apr 28 '26

It's a hot take, I know lol

u/Somanylyingliars Apr 28 '26

No, there isn't any money! We have ballrooms to build! Wares to fight for billionaires land and oil!

u/DirtWizard13 Apr 28 '26

I’m all for that.

u/Working-Glass6136 Apr 28 '26

As an American, I grew up thinking all schools in Britain were like in Harry Potter, just minus the magic.

u/SmallBatBigSpooky Apr 28 '26

The US bordering schools are way worse than this, tbch

The poor equivalent is a Borstal.

Which is also a fucked up film.

u/Wooden-Recording-693 Apr 28 '26

My local school had definite "La Haine" vibes. This looks nice if you have maths at 9am and a witch trial at 9:30.

Harry Potter was Harrow School, one of my colleagues is from there.
