User blog comment:Curiousharry/what do wizards do, what is their purpose?/@comment-26051080-20150129100026

OK I think I understand. The Wizards and Witches live in another world separate from the ordinary Muggles. They have jobs and business, or work for some Department of the Wizarding Government. Sounds to me like the Author got her inspiration from European Royalty who live in an alternate reality from ordinary people. Now I wonder how many of the young readers of the series are aware that the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religion all condemn and warn about not getting involved with magic, wizardry, witchcraft or the Dark Arts. Do they wonder why in the past they were warned about witches who were always depicted riding through the air on broom sticks? (Have you ever tried to balance on a broom stick?) Even more surprising is why these religions have not spoken out strongly and condemned JK Rowling and Hollywood for being the promoters of magic and witchcraft to the youth of the world that they are. Well the Devil does provide because the books have made her one of the richest woman on earth. Where is my wand, I need protection.
