Here's what JKR posted on her twitter account after someone asked about Jews in Hogwarts:



And something about the HP magic system (kinda):



I guess that clears up some things, doesn't it?

 

Crap... prepare for a 1001 Wicca stories to be hitting ff.net in 5, 4, 3, 2,...

 

Stop being such a <redacted> Xandrel. Anthony's religion as an agnostic Jewish wizard has always been canon; that's what I based my version on.

 

How is being an agnostic jew a religion?

 

Judaism is both a faith and a culture. I suppose you could describe many people as agnostic Christians

Offtopic: although I am devoutly religious and most people would lump me into the category of 'pagan', I fucking hate Wicca. And usually wiccans, but I decide that on an individual basis.

 

Didn't JK tweet that the only one she didn't think about was Wicca?

 

It's in the OP, dude.

 

In my defense, you listed it as something on the HP magic system; I've been conditioned to not click anything involving the magic system on DLP.

 

I don't think she equated them. The original question for the tweet was, are there any Jews at Hogwarts (Paraphrased). She said no.

Then, she tweets again about religion at Hogwarts, and says about systems of belief, only Wicca aren't there. I don't think that equates one to another. Sound like to me she got a ton of questions about it, and this tweet just happened to remind her of those.

 

OK, I'm calling it - Dumbledore worships Tzeentch

 

Nope, he worships Shub-Niggurath, "The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young".

What's with the Satanists (she didn't include them probably to avoid ruffling any of the more ... errrr ... religious' feathers)?!

 

Shub-Niggurath is an over rated hack! Do you know, some 'scholars' even count her among the Outer Gods!

A wizard of Dumbledore's character knows Yog-Sothoth is the only choice.

 

As if he would able to resist a goddess, that has "goat" in her name! Fondness for goats is family tradition!

 

clearly I'm already ahead of the curve with my bonfires story >_>

 

Reading some of the posts above I see that there is some confusion. You guys do know that you're supposed to read twitter posts in reverse order, right? The older ones are at the bottom and the newer ones are at the top.

 

Albus never did show fondness for goats. His brother on the other hand...

Dumbledore is a schemer so he worships the master of convoluted plans - Nyarlathotep.

 

Hehe, that's what he wants you to think! He's just much better at manipulation and keeping things under wraps than his little bro!
