Potioncat:
I disagree.
The Wizarding World is as real as Neverland and Harry Potter is as real as Peter Pan. 

Whether or not it exists--and more so if it doesn't--we readers are not Muggles. How can we be Muggles if there is no Wizarding World? or how could we be if there was as we don't live there? I am not a Muggle or a witch. (Though, my kids might disagree with the last bit.)

I admit the group gets into long involved discussions--and yep, sometimes they are over the top. But for many, that's the fun of the site. 

How those arguing a particular point want to look at a situation is up to them--but works best when both are using the same yardstick. Then again, the debates are more heated when they don't.
