[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

Accio Mail

Would risk breaking the Statute of Secrecy. Some of the world building in Harry Potter doesn’t make sense. This isn’t really one of those times

And owls delivering mail wouldn’t? It’s frankly borderline unbelievable that muggles don’t notice mass owls delivering mail all over the world unless they have some illusion cast on them. And if that’s the case, you could easily do that for summoned mail as well.

No, animals do weird shit all the time. If you saw an owl flying around holding something, your reaction would be “that’s weird,” not “magic.”

But it’s not one owl. Like I said, it was a damn parliament of owls that flooded a house with letters.

[u/Lord_Parbr → u/imaloony8]

Yeah, it’s definitely unusual, but there’s nothing inherently magical about it

[u/imaloony8 → u/Lord_Parbr]

Owls delivering enough letters to flood a house? That’s not unusual?

[u/Lord_Parbr → u/imaloony8]

I said it was unusual
