No.Limberger responds:
Since it didn't appear difficult for Harry or Hermione to adjust to live
at Hogwarts after living in the muggle world for their first 11 years, it
may be that the transition isn't difficult. JRK didn't write anything about
any muggle-born students having problems adjusting, aside from
Tom Riddle, but he was a problem before entering Hogwarts, so Hogwarts
itself was never an issue for him either.

As to having muggle fast-food restaurants on Diagon Alley, I don't think
this would be possible. First, the currencies used in the muggle & wizarding
worlds are completely separate. This would make it very difficult for a
muggle-owned company to convert wizard money into muggle money &
vice versa. Also, wizards themselves don't really interact with the muggle
world and may not be familiar with the types of foods served in muggle
restaurants. This would put muggle-owned fast food restaurants at a
disadvantage within the wizarding world IMHO.

No.Limberger responds:
These are the release dates for the two DH films in the US:
DH Part 1: November 19, 2010
DH Part 2: July 15, 2011.

You can always check http://www.imdb.com.

As to DVD release dates, no idea since neither movie has played
in theaters yet.
