Do you think it would still compromise the narrative if two worlds 
were to meet at the end?


Lupinlore:
It would in a sense.

If the WW and the Muggle World were to meet, all that would be blown
out of the water.  Say they were to meet at the end of the series, in
Harry's seventh year.  That would be 1997-1998.  Well, obviously no
such happened, so believability would go out the door.  Even if she
projected the meeting into the future, say in 2010, I think it would
raise more questions than she wants to deal with.


Alla:

I see what you are saying and I perfectly understand where you are 
coming from, but I think I agree with Geoff - if such collision of 
two worlds were to happen in JKR's world, I would not think that it 
requires any more suspension of disbelief than the acceptance 
of "magical world". You know, to me it would just mean that wizards 
are known in JKR's muggle world, that is all.

Again,  the only reason why I sort of cared about possible collision 
is because I thought and still think that JKR is going for the 
radical reshaping of the morals of WW  and that collision with 
muggles would somehow influence it.


JMO,
