A total of fifty-two years have gone by in a flash since the final clash against the once then teenaged Harry and the previously resurrected Lord Voldemort. Much has changed in the ways of the wizarding world especially the interactions between wizards and muggles; both nationally and internationally. Only a rare few pureblood families like the Malfoy, Nott, and Zabini still hold to their proper traditions while most have embraced the new regime.
For the majority of the first time in wizarding life, muggle influences have taken a solid grip on the wizarding lifestyle. Shopping alleys such as Diagon and Knockturn have taken back seats to large, leveled wizarding shopping warehouses equivalent to their muggle shopping mall counterparts for clothing, supplies, and other necessities. Owls that were once used for delivering letters have fallen to the muggle technology of cellphones and computers. Even Quidditch has seemed to lost some of its fan base to the array of professional sports offered in the muggle world. It would seem to the Pre-Second Great Wizarding War generations that very little has stayed the same since their own childhood including Hogwarts.
Now stuck within a peaceful world there is little for the current generations to strive for apart from being the most popular amongst their Hogwarts peers, having the latest fashion clothing or the next muggle technology fad. The generations who will never know the extreme extents to which their great-grandparents and grandparents had to go to just to survive a unjustified magical war. But perhaps that will all change soon. After all, those who don't learn from their history are bound to repeat it.
