i’m sorry but i refuse to believe that an american wizarding school would be called ilvermorny that is such a painfully british-sounding name. idk if it’s just me but i don’t think it works well with an american accent either like it doesn’t roll off the tongue right. we speak too flatly for a word like ilvermorny to sound natural. even if it was initially called ilvermorny someone would have changed that name somewhere along the line okay trust me.

#mine #harry potter #ilvermorny #harry potter meta #meta #same with dragot #at the very least the spelling feels out of place in an american context #it makes more sense to imagine a british person saying dragot with the harder o #or whatever it’s called idk i sucked at the phonetics part of my linguistics class #but an american accent would make it sound like draggit #or jraggit you know the way our drs jumble together to make a jr sound #and that word being spelled dragot just feels wrong idk!! throw it in the trash!!
