@hankgreen How do we know they didn't? There seems to be a significant lack of herpes in the Harry Potter universe too.

@hankgreen I've always liked the explanation from The Magicians, that cancer is much harder/impossible to cure by magic because it's "a part of you" in a way viruses or bacterial infections are not.

@jimbosaurus @hankgreen I thought of The Magicians and cancer puppy, too. 😔

@lindsayellis I think maybe it was the old “oh shit I wrote too much canon and accidentally made my characters nazis” problem. I almost did it once, actually.

@lindsayellis @hankgreen they were more concerned about secrecy
Grindelwald actually wanted to stop wwii, but they stopped him to avoid going public
Which is only just *barely* not making her world pro-nazi

Wasn’t in the third movie, and there won’t be a fourth and fifth.

@hankgreen Fan fiction consensus is that cures don’t work on muggles because they lack a “magical core.” And yes I signed up for Mastodon just to tell you this
