The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Oh THAT'S what it is. Geez, why couldn't they have announced that more properly. More on reddit.com

I remember that day: Big crowds showed up in the morning for the grand opening, thus expecting an extremely busy day but by noon the park was completely dead. Basically  most, if not all guests only wanted to be there for the opening and then leave due to most locals already experienced this land through soft openings and/or already been to Orlando/Osaka Hogsmeades, thus not feeling the need to spend the day here. The higher ups were worried for months due to not reaching their visitor goals for the remainder of the year. While there was an increase of guests for the park, it wasn’t at the level the higher ups were expecting(The were expecting sold out days for moths). We didn’t even hit max capacity until January 2nd, 2017(The worst day of any given year due to the park is always crowded by both Rose Parade participants/volunteers and their families and Rose Bowl fans and the college teams with their families.)

Also because the wizards are in hiding. Their world is hidden intentionally because they are outnumbered and were being attacked. This led to a very insular and small community that didn't really have the numbers or the desire for innovation. They can survive just fine on their own and can teleport so there isn't a major need to adapt and change and theirs no scientific method and not enough people who want to change anything. The Wizarding society we see in the books is still largely dominated by this insular pure blooded type of mindset even if not all of them are blood purists. The Weasley's for example are very liberal and open but Mrs. Weasley still greatly dislikes anything muggle and Mr. Weasley is obsessed with them but largely clueless. Reminds me somewhat of early European settlers being fascinated by indigenous populations in the 'noble savage' kind of way. There's just no societal drive to change or improve. The society is stagnant and dominated by conservative old fashioned beliefs that haven't changed since the international statute of secrecy. More on reddit.com

Also tangentially, is there any technology that would impress a wizard or would they just scoff at silly muggle inventions? More on reddit.com
