    ... pureblood witches and wizards have actually heard of a computer? Or mobile phones? What about regular telephones, movies and televisions?" Hermione shook her head. "I guess you're right. It would be wonderful if we could introduce the wizarding world to all the advancements muggles have made. And Muggle Studies really needs a shake up.
