What Would Have Happened If Wizards Never Went into Hiding? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing whether or not Muggles would have evolved the way that we did if witches and wizards had never gone into hiding.

For centuries leading up to the late 1700s, individuals with magical abilities - primarily witches - were hunted down and persecuted by Muggles. In what would later be referred to as the infamous witch hunts, formal and informal trials were held between the 14th and 18th centuries in which global communities tried and executed around 40,000 to 60,000 people. 50-to-70,000 more people were accused without being condemned. Among these witch hunts were the infamous Salem Witch Trials of the early 1690s, where the brutalities of the American townsfolk killed 19 people for crimes that included worshipping the devil and taking part in sinful activities.

Around this same time, in the latter half of the 1700s, people with magical abilities - who had previously lived openly among Muggles - disappeared from Muggle society. This, of course, was due to the institution of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, a law that was conceived to protect the wizarding world from the threats of ill-advised Muggles, which went into effect in the year of 1689.

This is also around the same time in history in which Muggles began rapidly evolving. In particular, we had the Age of Enlightenment

The Origins of Petunia & Vernon Dursley - Harry Potter Explained

The Origins of Petunia & Vernon Dursley - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing how Vernon Dursley met Petunia Evans, and how the two of them eventually became Mr. and Mrs. Dursley - the widely disliked aunt and uncle of Harry Potter.As revealed by the memories of a dying Severus Snape, there was once a time when Petunia Evans and her younger sister, Lily, were actually quite close. In fact, it would seem that as a young girl Petunia had wished to become a witch just like Lily, and even went so far as to write to Headmaster Dumbledore to see if he could make an exception and allow her to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry despite the fact that she displayed no magical abilities. Unfortunately, it would seem that Dumbledore's refusal - although delivered kindly - ignited feelings of incredible resentment within Petunia, which is likely what spurned her on towards a life in which she hated magic to the point that she tried to pretend it didn't exist. Petunia was also openly resentful of the fact that her parents seemed delighted by the fact that her sister was a witch, which ultimately led to Petunia feeling such incredible dislike towards her sister, her family, and her home in Cokeworth, that she up and left in search of a much more ordinary life.It was around this time that Petunia met Vernon Dursley.
