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 और different from us than they actually are. I think such habit comes from how the पुस्तकें 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 और या less out of touch with the other, while most of the witches and wizards portrayed या refered in the पुस्तकें think that they are entirely different.

1. "wizarding world" या "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 और 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, या really even that पुराने ज़माने का, पुराने जमाने 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 या 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 या 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 टैंगल्ड 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 नींबू 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 नींबू flavoured sweets, so what exactly makes नींबू 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 या computers, they have never turned metric. They are not governed द्वारा 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 कहा 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 पुस्तकें 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 या too in प्यार 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 घर amongst muggles society while also able to enjoy the spice of magic in their lives.
The seventh (and penultimate) film is कहा to have ‘a very different feel from the other movies’ as for the first time the action does not centre around Hogwarts.
Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the run, thrust into what Ron (Rupert Grint) calls ‘a scary and unpredictable world where anyone could be working for Voldemort’ as they खोजिए for the remaining horcruxes in order to defeat the Dark Lord.

To whet your appetite we’ve conjured up some truly wizard facts about ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’:

June 1, 1998
    Minerva was sitting in her प्रिय place on the किनारा, शोर of the lake, watching the sun rise over the silent grounds. Just to be alive, to see the first light of दिन hit the गढ़, महल that stood, so resolutely, silhouetted against fading stars, was a blessing. This was Minerva's प्रिय time of दिन because, for a few shining moments, all seemed to be as it should be; as the sun rose higher into the sky, the गढ़, महल would come to life, and the students and professors alike would sit in the great hall and talk of meaningless things and be bathed in the fresh morning...

A Nerdy Throwdown

Leading up to tonight's premiere of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, it looked for a while like it was going to be all Twilight, all the time here at NewsFeed. But then a savior appeared on the horizon: the trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which would premiere before the film! A hubbub arose: Would Potter प्रशंसकों flood the Twilight theaters, perhaps starting a nerd rumble? (No, because that would be stupid. Also, because आप can watch the trailer online.)
However, the fortuitous timing has inspired NewsFeed to take a side in the blood feud that has run for generations...

MIDNIGHT BREAK IN

It was a beautiful, bright, sunny morning, and everyone was outside, having the time of their lives, for school was near. All except one boy on खुद के बारे में, निजी, privet Drive.

Harry Potter sat on his bed, locked in his room, waiting for his owl, Hedwig, to return. She had gone to deliver letters to Harry's फ्रेंड्स four nights पूर्व and still hasn't returned.

The Dursleys had gone to a summer party. They were probably having a great time, while Harry was in his room. The party was supposed to last until midnight. Harry started to feel sleepy, then the room went black.

This लेख will basically cover a few tips on how to cast the Killing Curse. It comes in very handy when muggles are being particularily noisy, specially after having been through the Cruciatus Curse. (both curses usually go hand in hand, unless आप are in a hurry of course, then the Killing Curse is और efficient.)

Let's start with the three basic points: the Incantation, Power of Mind and Proper use of the Wand.

1) The Incantation
First of all and perhaps most important: THE SPELLING of the incantation. It is NOT "Aveda kabrada", "Abba Kabreda" or, as the muggles have utterly...

I do not own Harry Potter या A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Having once this juice,
I'll watch Bellatrix when she is asleep,
And drop the liquor of it in her eyes.
The अगला thing then she waking looks upon,
Be it on lion, bear, या wolf, या bull,
On meddling monkey, या on busy ape,
She shall pursue it with the soul of love:
And ere I take this charm from off her sight,
As I can take it with another herb,
I'll make her render up her page to me.
But who comes here? I am invisible;
And I will overhear their conference.

Enter DRACO, PANSY, following him

Harry Potter's latest cinematic adventure is already breaking box-office records, as the boy wizard encounters murder, betrayal and heartbreak at a theater near you. But a very different danger is plaguing his प्रशंसकों in cyberspace — where hackers are using the blockbuster to cast a spell on computers worldwide.

"It's definitely the most targeted film that we've seen," explained Michael Greene, VP of Product Strategy at PC Tools, whose virus fighters have been hard at work battling "Harry Potter hackers" over the last few weeks. "This is pretty scary stuff."

For some, it was TMI -- for others, too little. J.K. Rowling's epilogue to the "Deathly Hallows" may have actually caused और वाद-विवाद than the rest of the book, simply for the who-ended-up-with-whom element, some of which we knew and saw coming, and others, like Draco gets married?! And spawns?! that we still can't get behind. But for Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang, या at least, the अभिनेत्रियों who play them, they're quite happy with their happily-ever-afters -- even if Jo didn't see fit to give us all the details in the actual book itself.

5. Call him Ickle-Voldykins . . . and then run. Fast.
