But its an interesting possibility that the wizarding world could 
actually exist if you base your supposition on theoretical physics. 
Einstein was horrified at some of theories that his discoveries led 
him to conclude. I'm sure you remember his comment that" God does not 
play dice with the universe". Hey, but what if he does?

I guess I'd use:
1.3.1 Parameters set by JKR/Authorial intent
1.3.1.2 Reader response & subversive readings
3.8 Magic
5.2 Fantastic Post


Carolyn:
Well, if you subscribe to the Douglas Adams theory of life, you will 
know that our entire world is an experiment run by mice from another 
planet ...

There's actually been a fair amount of scientific 
comparison/speculation about the WW and the muggle world. I tend to 
use a selection from the codes below, to capture it. Maybe 3.2.2 gets 
closest for this post? If you are going to get into philosophy & 
what's-God's-purpose (if he exists) arguments, then probably some of 
the meta-themes such as 'Freewill, choice & fate' etc come into play ?


3.2.2 Relationship with muggle world
3.8.2 General properties and types of magic
3.4.7 WW lifespans, genetics & population estimates
3.7.3 Wireless & other WW technologies
3.8.1 Magical ability
