I find the explanations regarding the hiddeness of the WW
very unconvincing. Every magic person would spend every moment
clearing out every muggle. But, regardless of that, I don't
think I put my original question clearly. In the 1990s, we
had a very technological society. Yet reading HP, we see
virtually none of that. Especially in DH, it reminded me
of resistance fighters in WW2. I was really wondering if
other people had this impression. So, not the actual date
of the setting but the feeling of it. It could often be
medieval.
