The majority of the Satsuma Hogwarts tweets are users imagining what it would be like if there was a wizarding school located in the Satsuma of <em>Harry Potter<\/em>\u2019s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term was coined by Twitter user @Maguro_Maznaga, who explained that it initially referred to Hogwarts students who come from Satsuma (assuming such students exist). However, the term drew a great deal of attention from users who came up with their own theories based on the literal meaning of the words, and these varying ideas became jumbled together. Eventually, Satsuma Hogwarts started to refer to an imaginary wizarding school located in Satsuma and became the much-loved meme that it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the tweets include lines of dialogue that you might expect to hear at Satsuma Hogwarts, and recently, there have been some users who have tried reading this dialogue aloud. Even Setsuji Sato, who provided the Japanese voices for multiple characters in <em>Hogwarts Legacy<\/em>, got in on the fun, lending his performance skills to the world of Satsuma Hogwarts and attracting a lot of attention in the process.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u6628\u65e5\u30d0\u30ba\u3063\u3066\u305f\u3084\u3064 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/02YmaENcIB\">pic.twitter.com\/02YmaENcIB<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u4f50\u85e4\u305b\u3064\u3058 (@setsujisato) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/setsujisato\/status\/1626551898701713408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 17, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>The thing that went viral yesterday<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Sato read some dialogue spoken by the Sorting Hat, a sentient magical hat from the <em>Harry Potter<\/em> series that can speak. When a student puts on the Sorting Hat, it decides which of Hogwarts\u2019 four houses\u2014Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin\u2014they most belong to. In Sato\u2019s reading, after pompously saying, \u201cYou are\u2026\u201d the Sorting Hat then begins to say, \u201cGryf-\u201d before immediately cutting itself off and enthusiastically exclaiming, \u201cSatsuma Domain!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, we are no longer dealing with a wizarding school located in Satsuma, but rather a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that has had the Satsuma Domain thrown into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tweet that seemingly served as the source of Sato\u2019s reading was actually based on a scene from the film <em>Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone<\/em>, not <em>Hogwarts Legacy<\/em>. Funnily enough, the Sorting Hat does appear in the game, and Sato was the one who voiced it in Japanese.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u85a9\u6469\u30db\u30b0\u30ef\u30fc\u30c4\u751f\u8a95\u751f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LsReIG4l0Z\">pic.twitter.com\/LsReIG4l0Z<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3048\u3093\u304e\u3088\u3057 (@ENGIYOSI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ENGIYOSI\/status\/1626230868279988225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><font size=\"2\"><strong>Tweet Translation:<br><\/strong>The birth of a Satsuma Hogwarts Student<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Other users also took a stab at reciting some of the Satsuma Hogwarts material.
