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!

I wonder how they become keyed into the knowledge that Muggles are Seeing Things. I know Arthur said something once about the regurgitating toilets, which will obviously trigger plumber (pumbles) attention, but when they falter...I wonder if they put up a Bat-signal or something and the Obliviators just come around. WHO YOU GONNA CALL? OBLIVIATORS!

I like to think that people are, at their roots, good and just and fair. MOST PEOPLE ARE. But what if the wrong person gets jealous of magic users?

Yeah I can't wrap my head around the logistics of the entire thing. Like. What. The "Trace" is supposed to be only for younger wizards-- I guess with the assumption that they're the ones most likely to risk breaking the Statute-- but what about adults? Is the population small enough that it IS something that can be controlled?
