Four Kind of Comparison Between ‘Muggle’

and ‘Wizarding’ in “Harry Potter’

• [1].Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding ‘Communicators’.

• [2]. Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding ‘Politics’.• [3].Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding'

Recreational activities.• [4]. Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding ‘Culture’.

Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding ‘Communicators’.

• [1] Their most important Communicators are Owls And Internet• [2] Owls are very loyal and won't pass on your personal

information to anyone else except the person to whom you are sending the letter. But when you have an account on the internet & your password is disclosed, your privacy & secret information might go to the dogs.

• [3] Even though owls try to do their best, they cannot match the speed of the internet. Within seconds, messages travel from one person to another in internet, but owls take longer.

[4] Owls are living creatures and need something in return for their service-food.But the internet does not need anything, if you have a good-working computer.

[5] If you just mention the receiver's name or write the address on the letter or parcel,the owl delivers it. But internet is a Muggle-made thing and has absolutely no intelligence or brain of its own, it is controlled by high technological Muggle devices.

Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding ‘Politics’.

• [1] In Muggle Politics, the governing party is elected by common people through votes.These elections are held periodically.While in wizarding politics,there is no specific period of realm of the Minister of Magic.But if the wizarding community is not satisfied by the way the Ministry is being run, they can overthrow the Minister.

• [2] The law-maintaining people controlled by Muggle Governments are known as Police, whereas the same kind of people in Wizarding Governments are referred to as Aurors.It is extremely hard for students graduated from schools to become Auroras.

• [3] Corruption is found largely in Muggle Politics, whereas it is less in Wizarding Politics because the main way of running the Ministry is through magic.

• [4] When in Muggle Politics a governing party is defeated, no member of the party can hold a prestigious position in the Government.In wizarding politics,when a Minister is chucked off his position,only some other high official is eligible for the post of Minister of Magic.

Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding' Recreational activities.

• [1] Muggle Recreational Activities do not involve magic, so you cannot explore or enjoy beyond a certain limit. But in a Wizarding Recreational Activity, there is absolutely no scope to your fun.

• [2] In a dangerous Muggle Recreation Activity if a person suffers from any kind of danger or fear, no one can save him; he has to use self-defence. But in the Wizarding mankind, the case is opposite-magic involved in the games can save a player from death or injury.

Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding' Recreational activities.

[1] Muggle Recreational Activities do not involve magic, so you cannot explore or enjoy beyond a certain limit. But in a Wizarding Recreational Activity, there is absolutely no scope to your fun.

[2] In a dangerous Muggle Recreation Activity if a person suffers from any kind of danger or fear, no one can save him; he has to use self- defence. But in the Wizarding mankind, the case is opposite-magic involved in the games can save a player from death or injury.

• [3] If the talk comes about outdoor sports, cheating can be done to a huge extent in Muggle Sports, since man's brain has device the rules for these sports & hence man's brains can find a way out of these rules. In Quidditch,magic controls disciple, meaning that if a player wants to cheat, he has to device a magic more superb than the game magic.

• [4] Muggle Recreational Activities which are not very popular, involve solo-playing, meaning one person against one person. But in wizards, mostly the battle for triumph is between teams.

• [5] Quidditch can be played in any Wizarding location having any type of climate or physical features, unlike most of the Muggle Recreational Activities.

• [6] A person with better equipment regarding the activity concerned, has more chances of winning both in Muggle & Wizarding Recreational Activity. For example, a player of quidditch with a better broom stands better chances of success than a person will a broom of some old model. And if a person has a worn-off ski board, he hardly stands a chance of winning as compared to a person with a new ski board.

Comparison of Muggle and Wizarding ‘Culture’

[1] There is no diversity in the culture of wizards all over the world, which is true for Muggle.

[2] Women of Muggle families that don't have any machines, have to strive hard for doing household chores. But witches can complete everything with a few flicks of the wand.

[3] Chocolates or involved in them, while Muggle items arefood items consumed by wizards may have magic totally plain.

• [4] Wizards have to wear Muggle clothes when entering Muggle-inhabited areas.Muggles need not wear Wizarding robes since wizards have taken care of the fact that Muggle don't know about their solid existence.

• [5] Western Muggle Culture slowly is bringing about changes in muggle cultures of all other countries. But there is absolutely no change in Wizarding traditions-they are exactly the same as the older times.
