The only difference is Ilvermorny uses glocks rather than wands

That’s why instead of making another Harry Potter reboot I wish they would just make a original story in the same world. Like make a story about the American wizarding world and the students in Ilvermorny.

Anyone else think not seeing the US school in fantastic beast was a missed opportunity ?

UK: "Don't let muggles see you use magic."

US: "A no-maj saw you using magic?... we need to blow up the earth."

Hearing the story of the founding of Ilvermorny makes American magic sound so primitive, but the Fantastic Beasts franchise makes it seem more organized than British magic

I like that Ilvermorny was founded by an Irish girl.

American wizard school having strict wand control is how you know this is a fantasy world.

I like to think that in Ilvermorny, the school's head of faculty holds the title of dean instead of headmaster.

One thing I love about the story of Ilvermorny is the indirect role Salazar Slytherin had on founding the school. He played such a large part, so let's break this down:
1. His wand was the same one Isolt stole.
2. His descendent Isolt was a Parsletongue.
3. She used her ability to ask the Horned Serpent to help her create new wands.
4. Her adopted boys used those twin wands to defeat Gormlaith Gaunt.
5. His wand eventually gets buried in the ground and becomes a tree with medicinal properties.

I just love the ultimate irony that Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts due to his racist ideologies, and then goes on to unintentionally help found the most accepting and inclusive Wizarding school of all.

I’d be happy going to either school

The back up wand for the American wizard school students is a Glock of Evocation

Another thing about the schools is the uniforms. We all know about Hogwarts. They're all the same, but each houses wears their crest on their robes and house colors ties 👔 and scarfs 🧣, with the main color as a trimming and fully inside their robes. At least by the movies standers. Ilvermorny has robes of mainly blue. For it was Isolts favorite color, and everytime she dreamed of going to Hogwart, she wished to b sorted into Ravenclaw. Cause of her passionate love for learning. Dark red trimmings represents James. For cranberry pie 🥧 was his favorite sweet. The students there basically r wearing their founding foreparents (forefather and -mother). Like Hogwarts, they too wear crests of their houses on their robes. But also a golden gordian knot clasp on the robes.

11:07 One magic school should take Fred and George’s idea and have students battle a troll to get sorted

Its sounds like a more familial environment where its one big family. Even the houses are empathised as one part of a whole instead of 4 distinct seperate factions forced to toralate one another.

I've been watching this channel for 9 years. This man is easily a HP youtuber who provides deep intricacies with such things like Ilvermorny.

Movieflame is the most intricate HP YouTuber ever

I find it funny that the double snakes is a universal sign of medicine and the horned serpent house doesn’t represent the house that creates healers.

And that Slytherin has descendants that are essentially muggles.

This, for some reason, reminds me of a idea I had.

Imagine if we got a muggle born wizard character or a person who was a wizard but raised by the muggle side of the family like Harry was, only in America. But due to being a registered citizen in the muggle world, he and his muggle brother were drafted to fight in Vietnam.

Picture if you will; having the ability to not only survive but win the Vietnam war and not being able to use any of it, regardless of circumstance… In the tunnels, imprisonment at the Hanoi Hilton, Ka San, even the Fall of Saigon. He’d survive but with battle scars, the knowledge of how outmatched the Wizard world is, endless war stories to build a franchise off of, and enough ptsd that his therapist could write a bestselling book on. That’s basically what this boils down to.

Only escaping the country by use of magic and the Vietnam wizard world. Along with winning a court case for use of magic near muggles (the Vietcong) by looking like the aftermath of a war zone, it being self-defense, and putting the entire wizard community in its place by telling them the truth about muggles and how wizards are no longer the top dogs. Not only that, but following all this he openly uses Voldemorts name without fear or worry because “nothing he does can compare to what I’ve seen.” As well as spend the following decades stocking up on guns, amo, and military hardware inside the Wizard school for the inevitable war with Voldemort and his armies.

He later became head of Muggle studies at the main wizarding school in the US. Think Skinner from Simpsons with his Vietnam flashbacks. And during the war Voldemort began in the 90s, he used both magic and wizarding stuff along with guns and guerrilla warfare to cut down the Death Eater army like a magical Rambo. So much so and to such an effect, that the Death Eaters were convinced that there was an entire army of hims numbering in the hundreds when there was just one of him and later joined by 20 other people… 30 other people at the absolute most… all of whom were people he trained. Or instead of making a flying car, it's a flying truck or train covered in armored plating and used as an air-attack vessel. And making "body armor" with magic like the Wiesly twins I believe did. Etc. etc. That would be quite the story.

Maybe have him meet and befriend a wizard from England of the same background as him, but whose parents were in the Mi6 and is following in their footsteps and joining Mi6 (maybe even have it be poetic irony and it’s Umbridges half muggle brother, but he’s the opposite of her character). Along with the Americans’ brother staying in the military as a career becoming a Chief of Staff. Together, the trio bring down the US and UK based Death Eater cultists, and sweep up the remains after Harry defeats Voldemort. They could create this secret organization that ensures the Wizards and Humans stay apart and ignorant of each other. Bringing in similar and like minded individuals from both worlds that are aware of these two worlds from both sides of the Iorn Curtain (this is the Cold War, remember). So secretive and so effective, not even NSA, CIA, KGB/FSB, Mi6, Wizard Councils, Azkaban, Aurors aka the “authorities” of the greater wizard world, etc. know they exist. A secret group waging a secret underground war in the Wizard World. With a change in lore that the US, Canada, Russia, China, and other large nations have multiple wizard schools around the country(I swear to god, JK has no idea just how big some countries are)… and them becoming strongholds when Voldemort starts having loyalists infuriate the schools and then starts the war. It could play out as an actual war. Bases, strategizes, skirmishes, Sieges, defensive battles, black ops missions, etc. Combining real world with the wizard war to get the advantage, maybe use that as an explanation as to why this supposedly world wide event was won outside of killing the leader and inner circle at Hogwarts.  

Now imagine a conversation between him and Arthur Weasley. A wizard who has more firsthand experience with the muggle world than most muggle norms will have in a lifetime meeting a man obsessed and fascinated with the Muggle world but has zero experience with it.

They could call this “Wizard Guard” or “Mage Guard” or “Mag Guard” or something and BOOM; new series made. There you go Rowling… free real estate for your IP.

What if William just became like a title for the head pugwudgie. Since William wasn’t the pukwudgie’s real name, it could have maybe stuck as the name by which the head pukwudgie was called, kind of like saying chief or captain. William could have made it so that the following Williams would be the ones to polish Isolt’s statue and leave the may flowers as well.

The contrast between Britain and America's wand controls makes so much sense!
