Topic: Wizarding world


  
 Sabledrake Magazine - GURPS Harry Potter Pt. 1
Wizards who recognize a squib won’t generally treat him rudely (though some will), instead, a squib faces unthinking condescension and exclusion from full participation in wizarding society.
Any wizard who might represent a challenge to his authority or who might represent a security risk will either not be accepted into the organization or will be quietly disposed of.
Wizarding law boils down to the principles of “Don’t hurt people or expose them to danger.” and “Don’t let the muggles know that magic exists.” Serious crimes including murder or using magic to take over another’s body or to cause them pain.

 The Jade Ramblings - Just a little bit of a rant...
Most wizarding folk, no matter how kindly they look upon muggles, no matter how much they are shunned or criticized by their peers for it, see muggles as being inferior to them.
This is the fate of the magical world.
It is interesting to note, however, that what semi-modern items the wizards have, they stole from muggle concepts.

 Wizarding world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The existence of souls is taken as a given.
Wizarding holidays include Christmas and Easter, but the celebrations only cover the non-religious portions of the holidays, such as: Christmas trees, gift giving, and Easter eggs, the Christian portion is not mentioned in the books.
These are described in Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

 Harry Potter Astrology
These wizards have an extremely dry sense of humour, and are prone to making trenchant observations of the world around them.
The lust for arcane knowledge is both the greatest strength of these wizards, and the Achilles heel.
Ravenclaw Sagittarians are the philosophers of the magical world.

 pharnabazus: Expecto Patronus: or How the Wizarding World Really Works (Part 1)
The patron ends up with a large body of wizards dependent on him whom he can rely on (a private army, in other words) which effectively puts him above the law, because the wizarding world doesn't actually have armies, at least in the Muggle sense of the word.
Hiding from Muggles, and diverting their suspicions away from wizardkind is an active thing, not a passive one, though at the moment there does seem to be a sort of balance between Muggle ignorance and the wizarding lack of numbers.
However, a much closer parallel to the way power seems to work in the Wizarding World is the patron-client system, such as existed in Ancient Rome.

 Overanalyzing the Text: Wizarding Culture Archives
Also proposes that Crouch's relationship to his son replicates in microcosm his relationship to the wizarding world as a whole.
Also, an analysis of the specific nature of JKR's nostalgia, and an argument that it is not so much focused upon the Middle Ages as it is upon the aesthetic of the Quaint, a generalized sense of "past-ness," which has more to do with the nineteenth century than it does with the Medieval period.
Proposes that Crouch Jr's statement that his father saved him from prison only in order to honor his dying mother's last request is not objective truth, and suggests a number of reasons why young Crouch himself might have believed it.

 British Prime Minister And The Wizarding World - DarkMark.Com Message Board
Another question is about Nearly Headless Nick, how did he get Knighted did he do something pretending to be a muggle that broght him fame and praise from the crown or did the king/queen of the time know about the wizarding world also and knight him for some service to the crown as a Wizard.
My question is, is this something that the goverment at large knows about or is it something there briefed about once elected and then get a memory charm on them after they leave office to make them forget.
Anyway, I'm moving this to Books 1-5 because the questions come from there really and GH is more for general discussion.

This cannot help but bear a considerable weight upon the degree to which modern wizarding society will have focused its collective attention upon its young.
Lucius would certainly not have pushed for an early marriage.
Rowling's determination to present her wizarding society's mind-set as if at all times all people have thought exactly as they do today, is the question of what wizards might reasonably believe is the appropriate treatment of children.

 The Daily Orange
For Tannenbaum, the rich details about the magical world and its inhabitants are what make the "Potter" books so special.
And yet, as his involvement with the Internet fan site mugglenet.com and the weekly "Potter"-related podcast, Mugglecast, makes clear, Tannenbaum is, in his own words, "a bit crazed with the whole thing."
"There hasn't been an author in a long time who has created this whole world so intricately with such detail and opened this world for people to go to," Tannenbaum said.

Every book thus far has sold well over 10 million copies, and they are read by people of all ages, all over the world, making J.K. Rowling, who wrote the books on napkins in restraints while on welfare, an overnight celebrity.
The mainstream historical account of the Second World War is presented in the same “good vs. evil” format that J.K. Rowling is ridiculed for using; in which the noble liberals, who have no blood on their hands whatsoever, altruistically wage war to destroy fascism.
The one witch who does have a moral problem with the enslavement of the house-elves, Hermione Granger, is ruthlessly ridiculed by the other wizards for her abolitionism.
