HRH are fleeing Gringotts. They fly over London and the U.K. No 
airplanes to check them out! 
Giants (big giants, Gwarp is a small giant) are fighting at Hogwarts. 
How did they get there without being spotted? 
No computers at Hogwarts? No mention of computers. 
Ron does listen to the radio. Sort of WW11 resistance stuff.
Wand battles are very similar to lightswords in Star Wars. Wands in HP 
seem very much like voice-activated lightswords. As I've said before, 
all the magic in HP is very token magic, more a sort of wishing that 
works. What I find more accurate is the politics of the WW. It captures 
so well the disinformation that characterises the war on terror.
