Summary

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. The wizarding world has captivated our imaginations for decades- a realm filled with magic, wonder, and extraordinary beings. But have you ever noticed that in this vast Magical World, there is a distinct absence of Muggle Technology? While the functionality of muggle tech may PALE in comparison with the capabilities of magic, we do have to remember that the Wizarding World is host to all kinds of magical beings- Muggle Borns included.-

And while the wizarding world may sometimes seem like a separate realm altogether, the surprisingly high number of Muggle-born witches and wizards that find themselves integrated into this enchanted society do bring with them a distinctly UNIQUE type of knowledge.-

Where Arthur Weasley (A PURE-BLOOD wizard) may find himself entirely preoccupied overanalyzing the functionality of a Rubber Duck, a young Muggleborn wizard may be versed in an entire world's worth of advanced tech.

I wonder- with SOME knowledge of modern technology from the Muggle world, why don't we see the use of more Muggle technology in the wizarding world?

And if Muggle Tech did make an appearance in the Wizarding World, would it be a net NEGATIVE or net POSITIVE?

And is the distinct lack of Muggle Tech a deliberate choice made by the Wizarding community, or are there inherent limitations that prevent the incorporation of such tech?

Today, we're going to be exploring these very topics and attempting to decipher whether or not MUGGLE TECH has a place in Wizarding Society.

Let's dive in.
