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 еще different from us than they actually are. I think such habit comes from how the Книги 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 еще или less out of touch with the other, while most of the witches and wizards portrayed или refered in the Книги think that they are entirely different.
1. "wizarding world" или "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 еще 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, или really even that старомодный 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 или 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 или 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 Рапунцель - Запутанная история 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 лимон 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 лимон flavoured sweets, so what exactly makes лимон 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 или computers, they have never turned metric. They are not governed by 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 сказал(-а) 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 Книги 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 или too in Любовь 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 Главная amongst muggles society while also able to enjoy the spice of magic in their lives.

As I sit on the rough steps in this cold winters день waiting for my father to tell me to come inside. I know he will eventually but I want to stay alone, facing him time and time again is torture! Around me is the black mansion which is where I live in and surrounding it is snow and naked branches as the leaves has fallen out in comparison to its season. With a flick of my cold black wand a сердце appears in the snow, I don’t care about the rules of magic anymore. Then the thought of her face appears in my head and affection rises in my chest, my eyes are feeling hot and my face is turning red. I feel a tear run down my face but it’s not cooling my face down in any way. With another flick of my wand the сердце turns black and a crack through the middle breaks it apart and I’m running.
the things i have learnet from harry potter, for example:
"'people who wants auothorty are the people who do not deserve it.but, people who did not want the auothorty and had to be leaders.but, the found theirselves good to be leadres.''
when someone asks me about what i want to be in the future.i answer him/her this;
''the most impotant thing is whatever i will be. it would be something useful for my country and for myself''.
if someone read haary potter series before he/she would understanad what am i saying. the last thing i would like to say is thank Ты harry potter for every thing Ты have taught me

This is kind of like a song version on Neville's speech in DH part 2. I do not have a clue what I wrote it but I hope Ты enjoy it.
Hold up your glasses it’s over and done
We fought and we fell but that not good enough
People die every день but we can’t let them die in vain
We try to keep moving, we try to keep fighting
Just one еще step closer to the ending
If we mess it up give it one еще tries
There just no game over were done
At least not tell we have won
We can lose everything
But that’s not going to stop us now
We can’t just walk away from the crimes that Ты done
Voldemort Ты going down
And way Ты can stop us
Ты can’t break us down

1 Egg White (buy ready pasteurised egg white from the shop, rather than just using raw eggs)
12 oz Icing Sugar (powdered sugar)
3 drops Peppermint Essence
Liquorice Laces
Instructions
Whisk egg white until frothy.
Beat in sugar and essence.
Knead well.
Shape into spheres by rolling between palms.

Cool in fridge. :)
lollipops (Way-Sour Charms Blow Pops, Dum Dums, etc)
Pop Rocks (whatever flavor Ты choose)
Instructions
Remove the lollipops from their original wrappers.
Open the Pop Rocks and pour them in a shallow bowl.

заворачивать, обертывание them in plain wax paper squares.
The Pop Rocks immediately start losing their "pop" when in contact with the moisture in the lollipops, so assemble these as close in time to serving as possible for the best effect
