That's an interesting observation. I sort of wonder if the pure blood wizards rely too much on magic and they're jealous of what Muggles have accomplished without it. After all, since they rely on magic so much, they don't have to try to advance anything and they therefore stagnate.

Some of the best stories I've read involve less magic and more reality. I haven't checked out the community yet and I'm not pimping it--I'm not associated with it in any way. Just think that fewer magical solutions to every problem make for more interesting reading.
