These laws are enforced by the Ministry of Magic, while a special arm of it, the Obliviators, has the job of making certain that Muggles who have seen magic in action will be left with no incriminating memories. Enchantment of Muggle artifacts is forbidden under-age wizards are restricted from using magic outside school and any deliberate revelation of magical ability to the Muggle community is punishable, although allowances are made for the use of magic in the presence of a Muggle: if the wizard or witch is acting in self-defence or in defence of another. Magical laws have been enacted over the centuries, designed to keep the existence of the Magical World hidden from Muggles, the first and most important being the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy of 1692. A great deal of effort is expended in keeping the Muggles unaware of magic.

Despite being an inherent talent, magic is honed through study and training into a skill. It is also centered on the separation of the wizarding world from the non-wizarding, or Muggle world. The depiction of the wizarding world is centered on magic, which not only imbues objects such as wands, but is portrayed as an inborn ability that must be honed into a skill in order to do otherwise impossible things.

The term 'wizarding world' refers to the global wizard community that lives hidden in parallel with the Muggle world the different terms refer to different communities within the same area rather than separate planets or worlds.įundamentals The entire Harry Potter Series is set from 1991-1998. The plot of the series is set in contemporary Great Britain, but in a veiled and separate shadow society wherein magic is real, and those who can use it live in self-enforced seclusion, hiding their abilities from the rest of the world. The Muggle world is the series' name for the world inhabited by the non-magical majority, with the wizarding world existing coextensively with it but hidden from the awareness of the non-magical 'Muggles' with few exceptions (most notably, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom). Rowling's Harry Potter series of fantasy novels comprises two separate and distinct societies: the wizarding world and the Muggle world. Overview Universe The fictional universe of J.
