What is the Wizarding World Like in 2024 Who is Minister for Magic? What are Modern Brooms like? Who is Headmaster of Hogwarts? Are there Wizarding CELL PHONES? Is blood status STILL a controversial issue? And most importantly: are there any other NEW dark wizards on the rise? Today we’ll be answering all of that and MORE as we discuss the Wizarding World in modern times. Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing the Wizarding World in the modern era. It’s been 26 prosperous years since Lord Voldemort made his final stand at the Battle of Hogwarts, finally meeting his end on May 2nd of 1998. And since that time, the MUGGLE world has changed a whole lot. The Internet has become mainstream, smartphones are prolific, communication is instant and everything is online. And if we consider how much the MUGGLE world has developed since the late 90s, I’d wager that the Wizarding World has undergone something similar. I think that, since the momentous day that marked Voldemort’s defeat, the Wizarding World has undergone a significant amount of change. Firstly, because they haven’t a dark threat to deal with in MANY years, and secondly because technology (even wizarding technology) develops exponentially. The First Wizarding War ran from 1970-1981, and the Second Wizarding War ran from 1995-1998, which MEANS that this is the longest period of time (for quite some time) that the Wizarding World has been able to exist in relative peace. And with the focus shifting from dark threats to societal development, things can evolve pretty quickly. Just like a phoenix, wizarding society rose from the ashes and emerged from the second wizarding war stronger than ever. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
