Re: Biggest plot hole

We all know the are many plot holes in the books [but still enjoy them].

Hogsmead is the only pure Wizarding village... which means the majority of
the wizards live in a muggle town [or isolated like the Weaslys]... but the
majority of the wizards seem to be igonarnt of how muggles dress etc.

Wizards may keep to themselves, go out only during the night, use
cloaks, or simply Apparate from one wizard spot to another.

<Speculation Alert>

While in wizard company, a wizard can use his powers freely and without
reservation, while communication with muggles is highly restricted,
since it is a Bad Thing to let unauthorized Muggles know of the
wizarding world.

Consequently, if a wizard invites muggles to his house, he'd have to
take pains to hide the Self-Sweeping Broom, the Self-Washing Dishes,
the Talking Mirror, etc to the point where he'd have to abandon magic
as anything other than a hobby if he undertakes prolonged contact with
muggles. Meanwhile, he has no such restriction in magical communities,
and can even show off his latest charms/items if he likes.
