Let's jump right into the magical world's secrets with a debate on the biggest secret of all: the secret of magic itself.

What are your opinions on the International Statute of Secrecy? Is it a fair law? When is it okay to break the law and reveal the secret of magic to Muggles? And what would you do if a Muggle discovered your secret and tried to take advantage of it?

Initial comment of at least 150 words for 10 points, additional comments 2 points each. Let's get a conversation going!

Oh my gosh, seriously, I didn't even think of that (the Muggles who were suspected of being witches but aren't). But it could totally become like the witch hunts of the past. Even though that seems like something that would never ever happen — in a "look how far we've come!" kind of way — it probably actually could.

Eeeek.

Yeah. Should the Statute being loosened, there would have to be a lot of educational work involved. A local approach sounds promising. I mean, showing the Muggles in your neighborhood the magic you possess instead of just announcing that there is a Wizarding World and be done with it. The latter approach would most likely just cause a huge turmoil.
