I kinda feel like "Wicca" would be a muggle only kind of thing. Y'know, non magical people pretending to be spehshul

So are Wiccas like the Harry potter version of weebs?
I think it's because Wiccan beliefs would be different to the magic practiced at Hogwarts, so they're separate schools. Although the article suggests it's for the sake of American fundamentalists which I find hard to believe as we Brits don't give a damn about their sensibilities.

Wiccas are this bastardization of all those little things from pagan mythology merged into some weird 90's fashion disaster.
Wiccans make me very regretful that true European paganism has been perfectly eradicated, without much concrete information about what it was [I]actually[/I] like, remaining.

Probably a lot more bloodletting and sacrifice than Wicca has
Satanists in Hogwarts confirmed, my mom [b]was[/b] right. So shocking.
This makes me wonder if perhaps Snape was Jewish
I've read all the novels and I remember him being repeatedly described as having a long, hooked nose

Hooked nose, greasy, mysterious, plotting.
I think you're onto something.

He didn't seem that obsessed with money though.
Also Snape turned out to be one of the best good guys.

You had such a golden opportunity to say "Dumbledongs" and you didn't take it. I'm so disappointed.
It would be funny if there [I]was[/I] a Wiccan at Hogwarts.
"What religion are you, Katie?"
"I'm a witch!"
"yes we know that but what religion are you"

He probably was into potions and following Quirrell around to take the philsopher's stone to make some golden shekels before giving it back to Dumbledore.

What's with JK and retroactively labeling incredibly minor characters as minorities and shit recently?

Because there are people who pester her about this shit

Either that or she just wants to go back and take credit for stuff she never really intended for when she was writing the books.
But my guess is as good as yours

Maybe. Not like I wouldn't do that anyway.
[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;46745759]Probably.

1000 year old wizards in 12 year old wizard bodies, you can't fool me.
Good. Most 'Wiccans', as far as I know, are money peddling charlatans.
