What would the wizarding world look like in 2017?

[author_by_night]

September 1, 2017 - nineteen years later.

Since some of my friends are still reading the books, I'm putting the rest of this under a cut. 


You guys tell me what the wizarding world would look like.

Some possible starters:

- How would tech-savvy Muggleborns deal with the tech-nonexistent Wizarding World?

- Would Wizards and Witches have their own equivalents of what we have?


- How did the characters change? How did they not change? What are the trio and Ginny like as parents? As coworkers and employees? As people?

- What is the relationship between Slytherin and the rest of the Houses? (Whether or not you factor in The Cursed Child.)

Looking forward to hearing/reading what everyone thinks! And don't feel you have to limit yourselves to those questions - or even answer them at all.

I think I've spent most of my time thinking about them either during the series, or in a time frame shortly post Hogwarts (like maybe in their early 20s, but usually in an alternate reality fanfic or something like that). As the epilogue was so brief, it only struck me as an afterthought, and I didn't pay the details mentioned in it much mind. Cursed Child did give me more of a sense that the events in the epilogue actually were meant to be part of the story, but, it really didn't feel the same, and I understand it wasn't actually penned by JKR, so that may be why. I will admit I was a little surprised about how Harry was presented as a parent in Cursed Child. I'd like to think that Muggleborns could put together some useful, searchable databases of spells and magical artifacts and the like.

I was a little surprised by Harry, too, though not his outbursts - sadly I could see that. In the books Harry could be very hurtful towards his friends when he was upset. But Harry seemed... almost a little guarded and stifling at times.
