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

Well the magic is contained, and it’s behind rhe Leaky Cauldron, which is also inaccessible to Muggles if I recall. There’s magical and physical boundaries that stop Muggles and electronics from going near Diagon Alley

Yeah this is worldbuilding you're doing for her, she didn't actually say any of this, and in trying to construct an explanation along these lines you raise all kinds of questions that complicate the story

It's not the biggest deal in the world but it's an example of problems that do get more significant as the books go on

No it’s not - Muggles can’t go in the Leaky Cauldron, that’s a founded piece of canon
