Pottermore used National Trivia Day to drop a bombshell fact about the plumbing history of the Harry Potter franchise’s school for wizards: it turns out that Hogwarts didn’t have bathrooms until the 18th century… the students relieved themselves wherever they stood, and the school simply had them make their poop vanish.
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

Some tweeted that the author of the book shouldn’t have revealed that detail:
