One Obvious Thing Wizarding Society Lacks in Harry Potter
Surprisingly, this thing is connected to muggles.
Have you ever thought about the way the magical society just dismisses muggles in Harry Potter? If yes, then you are not alone, because a Reddit theory suggested a way muggles could have helped the wizarding society a lot.
In fact, if wizards just paid more attention to the may non-magical people live and organize their world, many problems could have been avoided, the fan theory notes.
Specifically, pureblood wizards might have been better off learning more about muggles.
"Think how much easier the Ministry's job would be if they taught witches and wizards how to act unobtrusively in the muggle world, rather than having to put out fires all over the place and wipe memories when they slip up," the fan theory says.
According to the theory, it's just unfair that half-bloods and muggle-borns are forced to adapt to the magical world, while purebloods are not required to learn even the most basic things about the regular world.
The fact that "grown witches and wizards are tolerated acting like uneducated children in the muggle world" is quite bizarre if you think about it — just recall how Arthur Weasley, who was actually an expert, struggled to use the subway.
"It's hilarious that their muggle expert Arthur Weasley has so much passion for muggles but has made close to zero progress in understanding them," Redditor zhawadya noted.
However, another fan argued that Harry Potter pretty much reflects the real world in this way.
"I guess the real world analogy would be that people are expected to learn and adopt the culture of a country they end up moving to, but people staying in their own country generally only learn about the cultures of other countries if they find that country interesting," Redditor Magicman2012 noted.
Who would have thought: both magical and muggle world could use some tolerance and learning!
