LONDON -- As the vast majority of the Harry Potterbooks take place in the deepest,Poland darkest '90s, the characters don't even have computers or mobile phones, let alone the internet.
It's a good job they can do magic, in fact, otherwise they'd have literally no way of keeping themselves entertained.
I recently re-read the Harry Potterbooks, and -- aside from Dudley's multiple televisions and Arthur Weasley's fascination with electricity -- it struck me just how tech-free the stories are compared to today's society.
Which got me thinking: what would J.K. Rowling's world have looked like if everyone didhave social media and the internet?
From the DA's WhatsApp group to Hagrid's wildly unsubtle Instagram posts, here's how things might have turned out.
