Prime Ministers & secrets

[Barry]

No: HPFGUIDX 180358

As I recall, Prime Ministers don't report to their fellows when they
are visited by the Minister of Magic or other wizards because they
would be laughed at. Britain had a longish period of Irish terrorists
well before 9/11. Without saying why, the PM could easily ask for more
protection, including all sorts of spy devices. The next wizardly
manifestation would find themselves surrounded by automatic weapons.
I'm not sure that this would affect the narration. It is another area
though where the author is blind to the hi-tech world in which HP was
written. Supposedly set in the 90s, it feels as if it's set in WW2.
