Os Feiticeiros de Harry Potter usariam a Internet?

5

A Internet tem muito a oferecer e não é possível enviar por corujas, como a latência de menos de segundos das mensagens. Mesmas coisas para computadores e tecnologia em geral. Como Harry Potter parece ter ocorrido no início do século 21, a Internet deveria estar sendo lançada ao público durante os primeiros 7 livros.

Será que faz sentido bruxos e bruxas usarem computadores, a Internet ou outra tecnologia trouxa avançada?

Sim, mas apenas por curiosidade

Os assistentes não precisam da internet, mas ocasionalmente usam isso por curiosidade ou quando pesquisam sobre os trouxas.

When you can summon any book, instrument or animal with a wave of the wand and the word Accio!; when you can communicate with friends and acquaintances by means of owl, fire, Patronus, Howler, enchanted objects such as coins, or Apparate to visit them in person; when your newspaper has moving pictures and everyday objects sometimes talk to you, then the internet does not seem a particularly exciting place. This is not to say that you will never find a witch or wizard surfing the net; merely that they will generally be doing so out of slightly condescending curiosity, or else doing research in the field of Muggle Studies.

O próprio Harry nunca usou a internet.

Has Harry ever used the Internet?

J.K. Rowling: No. He's not allowed near Dudley's computer and Dudley's the only one who's got a computer. He gets beaten up if he goes too near the keyboard. So no, he's never used the Internet. I use it a lot but not Harry. Wizards don't really need to use the Internet but that's something that you'll find out later on in the series. They have a means of finding out what goes on in the outside world that I think is more fun than the Internet. Could anything be more fun than the Internet? Yes!
