This could have been so perfect๐ฅฒ Does anyone know what happened to the OP or if they have another account where I can find them?
So I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. However whilst reading the series, one thing struck me above everything else - the way Hogwarts and the greater Wizarding World is seemingly set up just doesnโt make logical sense! Only one teacher per subject? With JKR telling us that there are approximately 1000 students at Hogwarts at any given time? 493 knuts per galleon? No Wizarding primary schools or higher education? So, me being the autistic Ravenclaw that I am, this took away from my enjoyment of the series. I needed it to make mathematical sense!
So I fixed it.
I have spend two years on and off coming up with a detailed overview of the school, from the number of total students and the male/female ratio, the number of students in every house, in every year, and how many could reasonably fit in one class at a time. Then I started on my class timetables. I had to appropriately plan every studentโs schedule to make sure that no one had any overlapping classes, this ended up meaning manually writing down which subjects every student took and then sorting them alphabetically into classes based on the fact that I didnโt want more than 30 kids per class.
That still wasnโt enough though. I then had to figure out how we would get 1000 kids to school safely and efficiently, how we would sort them without making the entire school sit there for 3+ hours, how many professors would have to live at the school in order to provide adequate supervision for 1000 kids, a comprehensive list of school rules, an actual system of how many house points one would gain/loseโฆโฆ I really dug myself into a hole and I couldnโt stop. In fact Iโm still not done and I still canโt stop. There are SO many holes in this world.
Beyond this I have a whole alternate timeline that this whole thing is based on. Long story short, in my headcanon, the war โofficiallyโ began with The Battle of the Department of Mysteries (which I have modernised to take place in June 2018) and ended in January 2020 with The Battle of Hogwarts, and then all students were required to repeat whatever year they were in during the war, because holy shit, the fact that they didnโt make any of them repeat a year after that mess is ridiculous. Iโm surprised any of them even passed DADA with Umbridge!! Or that anyone accomplished anything the year Voldemort was literally in control of the school. Now I realise that modernising this story is probably an unpopular take - however I must stress how much Iโm mainly doing this for myself so I can live out my Harry Potter fantasies in a relatable way lol. Feel free to ignore the modern times and just take my numbers to the original 90โs timeline if youโd rather do that than put yourself into the story like I do.
Also let it be known that I am in my 20โs and a mother of twoโฆ but my therapist knows about this and says itโs a HEALTY COPING MECHANISMโฆ. soooooooo, guess Iโm gonna just keep writing out this timeline and imaging what life would be like if I was 16 again woo! Anywayโฆ Harryโs year would have to repeat Sixth Year. And believe me when I say the level of intricate detail in my alternate timeline is just wild. If you think Iโm crazy for doing just this โLogical Hogwartsโ thingโฆ.. you donโt even want to see my alternate timeline. Itโs wild. Iโm way too invested in this. Iโve written over 30k words so far and Iโm not stopping.
Also in my headcanon Hogwarts, everyone I like just lives because Iโm doing this to escape my depression not to become even more depressed thank you very much! Snape, Lupin and Sirius Black all live and are put in a position where they have to run the DADA department together because, um, IMAGINE THE HILARITY!? Them hating each other, then eventually having to figure out how to work together? Reluctant forgiveness turned sincere apologies turned genuine friendship?? Also Remus and Sirius are so gay and Harry lives with them. Tonks has a different husband, they still both die and Teddy still exists. Harry is still Teddyโs godfather because of the genuine friendship he formed with Tonks. Dumbledore still dies. Originally he wasnโt going to but he just has to, I realised the story doesnโt work if he lives.
So, here we are. The second wave of Logical Hogwarts, re-vamped, rewritten in some parts, lots more added on! Two years and one more kid later! Feel free to take this for personal use or fanfiction or whatever, tag me or message me if you do I want to see your class timetable! Or if you want me to make you a class timetable Iโll do it!
(Disclaimer; I still look after my kids I promise. I just donโt sleep which is how I have time for this ;))
Iโve tried to make this as easy to read and navigate as I possibly can, so Iโve created a seperate page for every different aspect of this world. I didnโt like the look of the master post and scrolling for so long was overwhelming. So, here it goesโฆ
