Seriously, J.K. Rowling’s Pottermore Just Revealed That Wizards Used to Sh*t On The Floor

There has been a running joke that since the original book and movie series ending, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has added a lot of weird facts to the wizarding world, but yesterday harry potter fans found themselves now holding a weird bit of knowledge in regards to Hogwarts history thanks to the official Pottermore twitter.

That Witches and Wizards use to shit on the floor.

Hogwarts didn't always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence. #NationalTriviaDay

While a… nice fact to now know, a lot of the fanbase has asked why is this a thing they needed to know. Pottermore is meant to officially expand upon the Harry Potter universe as well as offer fans the chance to enjoy the wizarding world in their own way.

Whatever you feel about Rowling’s additions onto her much beloved work, it is agreed that being a wizard may have just gotten a bit gross.
