I'm mostly talking about wizards who consider muggle life horrible, like Voldemort

1. They're living in, what, the 15th century?
Just embrace technology. Imagine the use of emails in the Ministry of Magic! That would have gotten rid of their owl poo problem faster than those elementary school paper airplanes. (I'm sorry, interdepartmental memos)

2. Bulky books that could easily be replaced with a kindle. For people like Hermione who carry, like, 10000000000 at once.

3. NO FICTIONAL BOOKS
At least, none that they speak of. (Well, maybe anything Lockhart writes.)

4. Purebloods are pretty much all related at this point, so they'd have to start marrying half-bloods at least.

5. OKAY. Who came up with all these spells and was Avada Kedavra really necessary? No.

6. Why let Slytherin house continue it's pureblood supremacy after Salazar Slytherin leaves? Just tell everyone that there's nothing wrong with it.

7. WHO DECIDED TO MAKE ANY FLAVOUR JELLY BEANS A MAGICAL ITEM ONLY?
Which reminds me, Jelly Belly has made rip off Bertie Botts and they did a better job on those. Bertie Botts are supposed to be EVERY flavour, not just the disgusting ones.

8. Magic shall be kept a secret because we are tired of helping other humans who we look down upon because they don't have the same traits as we do.

9. How does one not know the function of a rubber duck. Don't wizards have toys?

10. WHO LET SLYTHERIN PUT A MONSTER IN A SCHOOL

11. Why didn't anyone ask Mrytle how she died? It's clear the ministry knew she was a ghost, they had to tell her to stop haunting someone. They could have learned
A. The monster kills people when you look at it.
B. Came out a a sink
C. Was presumedly summoned by hissing, like a snake, which is a parselmouth
D. Since this monster also petrified people, maybe we can put the evidence together to figure out this is a basilisk?
E. AND GET RID OF IT!?

12. Time turners are only used to save hippogriffs. Extralegally at that.

13. WHY HAVE A DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES THAT'S CLEARLY SHOUTING CORRUPTION

14. The entrance to Diagon Alley is through the back door of a pub that only wizards can see. So why add more magic to get in? What if you don't have a wand, and you're going there to get one?

15. They STALK children under the age of 17 with the trace.
It doesn't even work properly, can't it tell when someone else is doing magic? How can it tell when you're in the presence of muggles? What if those muggles already know you're magical!?

16. WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU ALLOW AT HOGWARTS? I MEAN,

•PEOPLE VANISH FOR MONTHS AT A TIME

•SNAPE ATTEMPTS TO POISON YOUR PETS

•Three headed dog in a school?

•I hate to say this, but having a werewolf is kind of dangerous...seriously. Look what happened at the end of the third year? Can't they have any better place to put a werewolf than a house on the outskirts of a town?

17. Owls carry mail because, NO EMAIL
SERIOUSLY GET TECHNOLOGY

18. There are three job options; join the corrupt ministry of magic, become a doctor who doesn't even know how to use proper medicine, or teach at Hogwarts. I mean, you can write books or run a shop, but those are the main jobs really.

19. They don't think outside the box. Magic can't solve everything, can it? Why not use muggle ways as well?

20. Did I mention NO TECHNOLOGY? Well, it needs to be mentioned again. For a third time.
