=== The Wizarding World and the Muggle World ===
Part of the job of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] is keeping the Wizarding world concealed from Muggles. When a Muggle sees something related to the Wizarding world, the Ministry sends out wizards who [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Obliviate|adjust the Muggles' memories]] to eliminate their recollection of the event. The only exceptions are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Squib|Squibs]], on the one hand, and the Muggle parents and siblings of half-blood or Muggle-born witches and wizards, on the other. The most dangerous near-breach of this concealment on record, according to ''Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'' by "Newt Scamander", occurred when a Common Welsh Green [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dragon|dragon]] swooped over a group of sunbathers at Ilfracombe in 1932. A vacationing Wizarding family prevented catastrophe by performing the greatest number of simultaneous Memory Charms in recorded history on the residents of the town.
Why it is important that the Muggles remain unaware of the Wizarding world is never fully explained. In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 3|''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] explains to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] that if the Muggles knew that there were wizards living among them, they would expect the Wizards to solve all their problems using magic. The International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, agreed to in 1692, codified this withdrawal of the Wizarding World from the Muggles. At the time, according to Newt Scamander, the Statute was considered a means of protecting Wizards from the Muggles' fear of magic and its practitioners. One aspect of this Statute is the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Underage Sorcery|Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery]], which Harry falls afoul of on three occasions.
