This text is not meant as critisism to anyone, but only to ponder how much wizards/witches really differ from muggles, and how much of it is only a trick of mind.
In HP related discussions and wikipedia sites, there are often speculations and thoughts painting the magical folk as 더 많이 different from us than they actually are. I think such habit comes from how the 책 give a extreme general image; as if the two groups of people had some sort of basic difference with their entire existance.
And I think that somewhat misleading image comes from how no one of the main character trio grew up in a neutral relation between the magical society and muggle society but instead in only one of them and 더 많이 또는 less out of touch with the other, while most of the witches and wizards portrayed 또는 refered in the 책 think that they are entirely different.
1. "wizarding world" 또는 "our world", "the muggles' world".
---> ! (I too, out of being used to, use the words "wizarding world" when I'm talking about the wizarding society, but I try my best to get used to saying "society".)
As in I think the 더 많이 logic choice of words would be "society", because they all live in the same universe and same planet - just partially in different dimensions. Of course differences in society, (which the magical and muggle ones sure do have), do bring remarkable differences. But for the magical to think of themselves as a different world is an exagguration and surely isn't helping the secrecy matter. On the contrary it twistes their way of thinking and leads to ridiculous and unnecessary problems.
2. Such as, how many witches and wizards apparently don't know how to dress up normally in "muggle clothing". (The only one who didn't have a weid outfit in the Quidditch World Cup, was Barty Crouch Sr.)
--> ! At Pottermore Rowling has stated that the worst cases have minds stuck to the century when the international secrecy status took effect and that's why they may walk among muggles in old fashioned clothing. But that doesn't explain ridiculous and totally unestetic clothing combination, 또는 really even that 구식 style. I mean, they must be seeing muggles every day, if Hogsmade indeed is the only totally muggle free area in Britain. Some may spend most of their time with their own kind individuals who like using robes 또는 capes, but I don't think they're naked underneath them, so the whole concept of "muggle clothing" is silly. Thus, I'd see this matter too as only in the wizard 또는 witche's own head rather than there actually being any difference to muggles, apart from some liking robes and capes.
3. Some muggle's objects are seen as very unusual and faschinating even if the only difference in their own version was some magical element, if even that.
---> ! Molly Weasley got all 라푼젤 with how a car functions. As if Arthur didn't have a car which only difference to that muggle's car was that it flew instead of moving on the ground... I think Arthur had the same problem with other inventions. And Dumbledore spoke of 레몬 drops as "kind of a Muggle sweet I'm rather fond of."
BUT I think this all might also include Rowling's own similar way of thinking:
At least I can't see how in example Honeydukes wouldn't have 레몬 flavoured sweets, so what exactly makes 레몬 drops "kind of a Muggle sweet"?
And Rowling has the tendency to wildly generalize when talking outside the books, about the differences between the wizarding and muggle societies.
In example;
"Just as British witches and wizards do not use electricity 또는 computers, they have never turned metric. They are not governed 의해 the decisions of the Muggle government, so when the process of metrication (switching to metric measurements) began in 1965, witches and wizards simply ignored the change"
-J.K. Rowling at Pottermore
---> ! I always thought, that in the communities with only wizards and witches around they don't use electricity because it doesn't work when there's too much magic in the air, and not out of their own choice. In any case, that quote's generalization is huge, and contradicts many things's she's said before about the magical folk in Britain.
So I believe that in her mind with that quote she meant those that live in their own connumities, and that she just has the tendency to wildly generalize.
But my point is, that that tendency to wildly generalize combined with the way the 책 give an extreme general image, paints somewhat misleading impression of the difference level.
I think they're not so very different from muggles. Just those individuals who are obsessed with secrecy 또는 too in 사랑 with the little differences they actually do have, have it turn against themselves without even really noticing it. (Ministry of Magic's law department has a lot of those individuals.)
While those who realize that in essence they're just like muggles, have no remarkable problems in secrecy, understanding, and feeling at 집 amongst muggles society while also able to enjoy the spice of magic in their lives.

Every body should read the harry potter series at least once. Millions of people of all ages around the globe have enjoyed the over 3,000 page harry potter series. If 당신 haven't read any of the 책 또는 seen the 영화 당신 should read the 책 first and then the movies.Also 당신 should hurry up and read the series!!! If 당신 are to lazy to read the series at least read the first book. The harry potter series has a lot of excitement and drama 또는 people who 사랑 that kind of book.There is probably over a million people who would agree with me.
Warner bro's and j.k Rowling have decided to let peple come to the Harry Potter studios ,where there is hogwarts ,diagon alley, hosmeade and anywhere else in the wizarding world . They show 당신 how they do all the efects like how the brooms fly,the night bus and more.
They wanted hogwarts to look very real so they encouraged all the actors and 여배우 to carve their initials into the benches in the great hall and they hit the plates with a hammer to give them an authentic look.
I will be going to harry potter world so i will tell 당신 how it was.
P.S I am not talking about the one in orlando this one is in 런던 and it's the ACTUAL studio

I know that you-know-who is very cruel and very dark. However, what made him to have these personality. I mean when he was a child, he was lonely and he did not know anything about magic and the wizarding world. He was confused. Therefore, he 로스트 his controland caused the dark lord today.
In short, I want to say that the Dark lord is very cruel and dark,but there are some reasons that caused him to be a dark wizard.
I think the dark lord is very poor because he does not know 사랑 and thereis no 사랑 in his world. He is lonely.At the last moment of his life,he still did't know what is 사랑 and he didn't have any friend!
How about you? What do 당신 think about you-kno-who? Can 당신 think some reason that caused Tom Riddle to be a dark wizard?
Many of us are familiar with Harry Potter's Diagon Alley but somehow... it sounds weird to hear A Diagon Mall. I am a third 년 student taking up Advertising and we are assign think of a topic that suit our satisfaction. Our topic is about Thematic Branding and I am thinking about doing the Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. Since the place is already a commercial place for the wizardy world I have decided to pick it up as my thesis. Now I would like to gather 코멘트 about my proposal about Advertising Diagon Alley and make it not just an ordinary place in a magical world.
Since the 7th book is out and has probably been read 의해 most of the Harry Potter fans, does this really mean that the Potter mania is over? When I finished the book, I immediately reread it just trick to myself into thinking it wasn't over. For a while I was in a state of Potter denial. I kept thinking that it's not over and there will be loads 더 많이 책 after the 7th. I have finally realized that it's over and done with. But it got me thinking.
Will we ever have another great series like Harry Potter?
It's possible that we might not see another great series for 5, 10, 또는 even 20 years. It might not be as good as Harry Potter, but there's hope.
But maybe we won't have to wait. Maybe the Potter mania isn't really over. With Fanfic, Fanart, Wizard Rock and everything wizard related the Potter legacy still continues. So, maybe it isn't the end.
