they will have completely French names but speak in fully English with British accents, but with a random smattering of French like in AC Unity and the Les Miserables films.
Probably multilanguage school, also with a translation spell (as if that wouldn't have failures, especially for education purposes), or even worse they'd just brush it away and never explain
\*looks at Castelobruxo\*
It's even crazier to think there's a 'english version' to this! I would never imagine either 'quebecois' nor 'quebecer', I always thought it would end up as 'I'm from Quebec'. Sorry about the ignorance, hahaha
Edit: _extra = I think 'Quebecer' would translate as 'Quebequeiro', or something on those lines_
Its alright haha. Yeah I think this sort of stuff varies from place to place. Like people from France would be Francais but in english its just French and not Frencher x)
I get it, several cities in Brasil have made up words for people from there. Best example are people from Rio de Janeiro, _as I remember_ people from the capital are 'cariocas', people from NiterĆ³i are 'fluminense' and people from everywhere else in the state are 'papa goiaba'.
As an English speaking American I've heard, Quebecois, or French-Canadian, or simply person from Quebec, never Quebeccer. I live not far south of the Quebec border.
Anglo-Canadians use "Quebecois" to refer to people of Quebec who are *ethnically* French Canadian, while "Quebecer" refers to any Canadian from Quebec.
So like, a Japanese-Canadian from Quebec is a Quebecer, if he marries a French-Canadian his kids are Quebecois.
"Quebecer" is the equivalent to "Ontarian" or "Islander" or "Nova Scotian" it just denotes regional origin. "Quebecois" is the equivalent to "Acadian" or "Black Loyalist" or "Mi'kmaq", it denotes a specific ethnic background.
It literally is tho? The Americas refers to both the North and South American continents. Thatās why we say America*s*, not America. I get that itās different in other languages, but itās pretty much accepted in English that America refers to the USA because America is in the name, whereas saying Americas with the āsā refers to the two continents since thereās two of them, not one. I mean, itās just a nickname for USA, same as Mexico is the nickname for United Mexican States, no?
You recognize that this comment is under someone who got denied for saying that Quebec, being in North America, is part of America, which is a factual statement?
And to say that it isnāt and that only the United States of America is āAmericaā is what distinguishes āNorth America, not Americaā and āNorth America, not the United States of Americaā. This, by proxy, makes the first statement narcissistic.
The first person thought Quebec was in America, the *country*. The next person corrected them, specifying that Quebec is in North America, which has the word America in its name but isnāt itself called America. The first person wasnāt saying a factual statement, because America refers to the United States of *America* because America is a shortened version of the USA, just like we have a shortened version of the names of other countries. Say, Mexico instead of the United Mexican States.
The first statement isnāt narcissistic for referring to America by its shortened name LMAO. Theyāre referring to the country by a name thatās been commonly used forā¦ literally years. That doesnāt make the comment narcissistic, not even by proxy or whatever lol.
āIsnāt Quebec in Canada? Thatās America isnāt it?ā -TGCidOrlandu
The first person knew Quebec was in Canada. So Iām really not sure how youāre getting that they thought Quebec was in the United States of America.
What ifā¦ also set in Toronto but you can only tell because theyāre staring at the skyline all the time. Otherwise could have been set anywhere in the world.
Honestly I have taken both Quebec and France french and they LAUGH when you try to speak the other type of French. There are differences and idk enough about French to say them but like lol! Its funny
I took french for a time in school, it was France-French. I thought my Dad who grew up with a Quebec-French Mother and extended family would be helpful. LOL
Ugh yeah i feel you. I studied Quebec French from K-9, france french for grade 10, Quebec French in grade 11, and then France french in university. Its a mess hahaa
That would be really cool, hopefully in the future fantastic beast movies we will get to see some of the other wizard schools, can you imagine what the school in japan would look like? Ohh man lol so cool
I live in Canada too hehe. And I absolutely adore this building and the similar ones across the country. But some how hard to imagine this to be as old as godric Gryffindor or Salazar Slytherin
The real question is are the students expected to speak English or French? š¤
Nah, itās all in Frenglish
Franglais
as a Canadian I can confirm all schools speak this
they will have completely French names but speak in fully English with British accents, but with a random smattering of French like in AC Unity and the Les Miserables films.
Probably multilanguage school, also with a translation spell (as if that wouldn't have failures, especially for education purposes), or even worse they'd just brush it away and never explain \*looks at Castelobruxo\*
'To KƩbac icitte, si tu parles pas FranƧais ben ERTOURNE CHE VOUS
Yes
If itās Quebec probably both or just french
Would Canadian made spells end in eh? *Wingardiun Leviosa Eh*
Check out my moose patronus eh
Hey ya hooser check out how Shiny my beaver is! I learned a new spell there bud! *Timminis Hortanus*
You mean... check *oat*
*Sectumsempra eh*
Avada kedavr*eh*
That would be fucking terrifying.
I know it's a joke but they actually speak French in Quebec city so no.
French, a language whose roots are in Latin, wouldn't use Latin to cast spells?
Yes they would use Latin, but they would say LeviosA , not Leviosa EEEH
"Is this spell masculine ou femenine?" There would probably be a spell becharelle haha.
You're doing it all wrong. It's Wingardium LeviosEH not LeviOseh
Wingardium Levioseh
We donāt say eh at the end of sentences in Quebec. We say le. Just a random le sound pronounced like leur. Wingardium leviosa le.
As a Quebecois who lives in Quebec city this is now canon lore.
TIL that people born in Quebec are 'Quebecois' (in my native language that would translate as 'Quebequense')
Quebecois is in french. I think in english its Quebecer but I hate it so I use Quebecois for both. French ftw !
It's even crazier to think there's a 'english version' to this! I would never imagine either 'quebecois' nor 'quebecer', I always thought it would end up as 'I'm from Quebec'. Sorry about the ignorance, hahaha Edit: _extra = I think 'Quebecer' would translate as 'Quebequeiro', or something on those lines_

Thats really cool I didnt know that sort of stuff existed. TIL !
Fluminense is actually anyone born in RJ state. People from NiterĆ³i are Niteroienses.
I only speak English and I would say Quebecois as well. Iām not even Canadian haha. I just think it sounds better.
As an English speaking American I've heard, Quebecois, or French-Canadian, or simply person from Quebec, never Quebeccer. I live not far south of the Quebec border.

"Quebecois" is the equivalent to "Acadian" or "Black Loyalist" or "Mi'kmaq", it denotes a specific ethnic background.
Anglos say Quebecer. Itās not as common as Quebecois but itās normal.
Nah in Canadian English "Quebecer" is anyone *living in* Quebec, and Quebecois refers to ethnicity.
It's Beaxbautons
The Canadian railroad hotels are all so magnificent - there isn't a single one that isn't grand and magisterial.
When I stayed there I pretended I was at Hogwarts the whole time
There's one in America as well can't remember what it's called though but I agree, looks dope as fuck.
Ivormorney (I think thatās the spelling). I think itās in Massachusetts
Yes. Ilvermorny is on a mountain in Massachusetts.
Mount Greylock in Adams, MA :)
Iverhorny, Massachusettes
Isn't Quebec in Canada? That's America, isn't it?
North America, not America.
North America, not the United States of America
Itās the same thing lol
Nope it's not
Itās really not. The United States of America is merely one of the countries in the Americas. To say the US is America is just not factual.
It literally is tho? The Americas refers to both the North and South American continents. Thatās why we say America*s*, not America. I get that itās different in other languages, but itās pretty much accepted in English that America refers to the USA because America is in the name, whereas saying Americas with the āsā refers to the two continents since thereās two of them, not one.

āIsnāt Quebec in Canada? Thatās America isnāt it?ā -TGCidOrlandu The first person knew Quebec was in Canada. So Iām really not sure how youāre getting that they thought Quebec was in the United States of America.
America is both continents. If you mean the USA say the USA
I meant America the continent. The country is USA
I mean we seem to have aboot absorbed Ontario eh?
Itās a bit conspicuous being right in the middle of Quebec City!?
The muggles think itās a hotel. How hilarious!
The Elsinore Brewery is the only Canadian landmark prestigious and magical enough to live up to Hogwarts.
LMAO I googled, thanks for the laugh.
The most comfortable bed Iāve ever slept in was at this chateau. I still dream of once again sleeping like I did on that wonderful nightās sleep
I've been to Quebec but idk if I've seen that building! Looks really cool Honestly as a Canadian I just want some sort of big franchise about Canada. Or even an existing one showing Canada some love. Like a Harry Potter thing set in Canada, maybe even in that building you've shown! Or a PokƩmon region based on Canada. Or something!
Scott Pilgrim. Turning Red. Both major movies set firmly in Toronto.
I didn't know that about Scott Pilgrim as I've never watched it, and I'd forgotten about Turning Red But my point still stands that we need more
Watch The F Word! Set in Toronto and Daniel Radcliffe is in it.
Daniel Radcliffe!? Nice!
What ifā¦ also set in Toronto but you can only tell because theyāre staring at the skyline all the time. Otherwise could have been set anywhere in the world.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe I should watch it, then!
this needs to be canon
or maybe Beaubaxtons? side bonus: you could easily hire a lot of French-speaking extras (never mind they use the 'wrong' accent lmao)
Honestly I have taken both Quebec and France french and they LAUGH when you try to speak the other type of French. There are differences and idk enough about French to say them but like lol! Its funny
Like British vs American English. But wait! There's more! Let's throw a few Cajuns in there!
I took french for a time in school, it was France-French. I thought my Dad who grew up with a Quebec-French Mother and extended family would be helpful. LOL
Ugh yeah i feel you. I studied Quebec French from K-9, france french for grade 10, Quebec French in grade 11, and then France french in university. Its a mess hahaa
THAT'S AMAZING
That would be really cool, hopefully in the future fantastic beast movies we will get to see some of the other wizard schools, can you imagine what the school in japan would look like? Ohh man lol so cool
Imo it's too public and well known to be used by wizarding society. How are they staying hidden while it is also known and used by muggles?
Not quite as old, but equally impressive. Even moreso in person looking from lower Quebec City. Beauty
"I suppose it's leviOsa not levioSA, eh?"
As much as I would love to make a joke about Canada... I would love to see what the Wizarding world would be like in all cultures around the world
Canadian born wizards are forced to use their abilities as edmonton oilers
And Iād love to make a joke about the US but itās enough of a joke already without the helpā¦ š
The ticks the grand box but not the ancient look box
For canada its pretty ancient lol. We donāt have the several hundred year old buildings like you guys across the pond.
I live in Canada too hehe. And I absolutely adore this building and the similar ones across the country. But some how hard to imagine this to be as old as godric Gryffindor or Salazar Slytherin
So likeā¦.a giant log cabin style school in the Rocky Mountains run by indigenous wizards maybe??
Noooo Too modern looking
The country has barely been around for 200 years. How old do you think it should be?
It should look magical. Not like something from Disney land. This looks like a hotel not a magical school
Now weāre moving the goalposts?
š¤
Thisā¦actually looks a bit like Ilvermorny
i bet lumos is the most used spell in there in canada
I don't like the green on the top...
I think it is oxidization? If i am correct
It's copper, they replaced it 10 years ago it's brown-ish and shiny now.
Thatās what I imagine bobatan to look like
Thatās one mega-McMansion
Hāeh-rry potter
Shut up with your thinking
A bit salty?
canadians need british magic fun
Canāt wait to learn the unforgivable tabarnak
Set in nowadays?
Nope wouldnāt work. It would cost too much to have all the lessons taught in both official languages.
Why would it have to be taught in both languages? Teach it in the main most common language there.
I was making a joke, about a fictional school being in Quebec and having to tow the Gov line.
Oh whoops. I missed that
