So, we could have invisible, flying, death-spell shooting Barack Obamas killing Muggles all of the time. They would be the perfect assassins and speaking of world leaders, did you know the Prime Minister of England knew about Hogwarts?
Now imagine Barack Obama, or I guess Bill Clinton as Harry Potter takes place primarily in the 90s, being told not to worry about the safety of their citizens when magic bullets are flying through the air and monsters that are breeding in the atmosphere and feeding on the sadness of your people. Could you imagine the shitstorm when Edward Snowden releases a document detailing that these world leaders know about all of these magically good and magically bad things happening right under our noses?
There would be a world-wide reconciliation about the existence of magic that would end ultimately in the exposure of the wizarding world and its destruction.
Using a spell, a wizard could automatically harvest an entire field of crops making a farmer useless. Using a spell, a wizard could kill you leaving no trace of who dunnit. Using spells, a wizard could outdo, outperform, and outwit any Muggle in existence. Do you really think wizards and witches would be able to live among us? If history serves as a guide, witches and wizards may not be too welcome in Well, for the most part wizards have been able to integrate themselves into society pretty smoothly with Muggle-born wizards slowly starting to creep into wizard schools.
For some, however, the revelation that your loved one is actually magic is kind of a scary revelation. For instance, remember that time our pet dog was hit by a car? Could you have saved it? Could you have breathed life back into the dog?
A long-winded question, but a valid one. It would be madness, which is more of a commentary on the human condition than wizards being unjustly afraid of Muggles. Most would probably figure, well why are they hiding, or what do they have to hide? For instance, what if St. Aside form being paid in Galleons, the doctor would probably be happy to help others even if they are magic. Would that doctor need to have his memory wiped?
This time the muggle-wizarding war. For Muggles the question of why the wizards were hiding would always linger making some pretty bad blood between sides. Every fan of the wizarding world fantasized about living in the Harry Potter universe while growing up. Many were even so desperate to live in the magical world that a bit of a temper tantrum may have been thrown when no owl arrived with a Hogwarts letter on that vital 11th birthday. Who wouldn't want to live in a universe with Quidditch, flying cars, and magical spells?
Yet while the world of Harry Potter seems to be a magical paradise for mere muggles, there are a couple of areas where wizards are lacking when it comes to technological advances.
While reading the Potter books and watching the movies, there are definitely times where fans can't help but think "This could be resolved so much faster if they just used this muggle device. Although the Potter series is set in the '90s and so some of these muggle inventions have yet to be created, let's set that aside for a bit and have some fun exploring 10 "problems" in Harry Potter that could've been solved using modern muggle technology.
Updated on May 3, by Richard Keller: Life would have been much easier for the wizards of Harry Potter if they utilized modern technology. They'd be able to retrieve information or transportation at a moment's notice. As a result, their leisure time would increase. Here are a few more problems that could have been solved using muggle technology. When all the Weasley kids are home, cooking can be a chore. All that chopping and peeling puts a strain on a wand, let alone causes something equivalent to carpal tunnel syndrome.
To cut it down a bit and get more protein in their offerings, a meal delivery service like Blue Apron is a good idea for the large Weasley family. It's also a way for Molly to experience some self-care.
It seems she's always doing laundry or cooking. It would take a few seconds to prep and serve these meals because everything was cut and seasoned.
In turn, Molly could join her family at the table more frequently. Written notes can be a problem. Students write too small or too sloppy for people like Ron to copy off of them. In addition, quill pens can leak a lot. So, the pages may have ink spots that cover important details. This wouldn't happen if people like Hermoine placed their notes on a could storage portal like Dropbox or OneDrive. In short, Harry got the 'Wizarding letter' when he really should have gotten the 'Muggle-Born letter'.
As far as I know we've been given no evidence canonically to prove that muggle-borns are provided with any information other than what is in the letter that Harry received. And yet, this must not be the case - because then there wouldn't be very many muggle-born students at Hogwarts. The 'Muggle-Born letter' which would have explained and clarified what magic was, and what the school was for. Pamphlets or even a guidebook might have been included and at some point there should have been a visit from an educational authority to give a few practical examples of magic to prove that it wasn't just some elaborate hoax and to take them to Diagon Alley, which is accessed from the back of the Leaky Cauldron using a wand to get in.
They would need a guide, because even with directions none of them would have a wand. And the guide would have to be informative, and hopefully trained to introduce muggle-borns to the world of magic.
The best way would probably for the guides to be muggle-born themselves so that they could best understand what the 'new' witch or wizard was feeling and thinking.
Not someone like Hagrid, who insults Harry's guardians and drops everything on Harry's head expecting him to go with the flow without even covering any of the basics of government and social structure. Hopefully, this is what really happens for the muggle-born and Harry really did slip through the cracks with his situation and that there is more information provided to the muggle-born students. Because if Harry's letter was the norm, it just doesn't make sense.
Apologies if any of this has been brought up before in this community. Tags: wizarding world:education , wizarding world:education:hogwarts. Post a new comment Error. Is this stated anywhere? What would Muggles see when brought into Hogwarts? A Marsh? Abandoned building? Or would the charms not work on them only; or wear off once they are inside?
On the other other hand, I would high-five the muggle parent who is cool enough to travel to Hogwarts with their wizard kid to make sure it's safe for their child. To cap matters, Montague had still not recovered from his sojourn in the toilet; he remained confused and disorientated and his par-ents were to be observed one Tuesday morning striding up the front drive, looking extremely angry OotP I'm sure some of the parents Cedric's for sure were spectators for the Tri-Wizard in GoF.
So, the actual answer is two-fer: We don't know if parent visits were allowed as part of regular school routine in the first place. It has been a while since I was in school, but American schools did have at least one Parent-Teacher night during the school year that I remember. Xantec- yes, precisely. True, but I don't think parents are generally discouraged from arranging meeting with teachers or support faculty principals, counselors etc.
Although in the case of a Muggle parent wanting to speak to a teacher from Hogwarts, I bet for logistical reasons the teacher would visit them and not visa versa. Xantec - they are in our school. Heck, most of the time the teacher feel it beneath them to answer an owl Show 1 more comment. Lion Lion 1. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.
