The magic contains the street from outside view - it doesn’t magically interfere with electronics in the vicinity of the Leaky Cauldron. There’s no interference.

"The magic blocks the other magic" Jesus fucking Christ really? Really? Holy shit.

That’s not what I said and makes no sense?? The two don’t interfere - there’s no magic involved. No Muggles can get into Diagon Alley unless with a wizard who can get them through the Leaky Cauldron, why would there be electronics?

Because the entrance to Diagon Alley is physically less than 40 feet away from the real-life Charing Cross Road, which is packed chock full of Muggles on their cell phones all day?

Exactly. And? Magic doesn’t seek out technology to interfere with. The electronics and the magic don’t interact. What’s the problem here?

Okay, so Harry could in fact have brought a cell phone or a two way radio to Hogwarts and it would've worked fine as long as he didn't use it to "interact" with anything magic That would've made a lot of things easier

No, that’s a different point - the electronics in Charing Cross aren’t in Diagon Alley. If a phone was brought to Hogwarts, it wouldn’t work, that’s be reiterated

Okay you understand that in the normal Muggle world of physics as we understand it, borders are just labels and the world is actually a continuous space

???
This whole argument is “what if I punch my sister”
“But she’s in the next room, there’s a wall in the way which protects it”
“Yes but you might still interfere!”
“There’s a wall?”

Okay see that's the point, no one ever actually said there was some kind of wall that blocks this effect or how that wall works

Clearly the no-cell-phones-at-Hogwarts thing isn't just about normal physical walls, or Harry could just step outside when he needs to make a call

These are different cases of magic and you’re conflating the two when they’re separate arguments. Tech doesn’t work inside magical places nor places the magic protects, ie Hogwarts. It does work, and is not interfered with outside or near places, ie Charing Cross
