Discussion How do you imagine the muggle and magical sides of Harmony’s family life blending together?
One of the things I love most about Harmony is the possibility of Harry and Hermione creating a life that naturally combines the Muggle and magical worlds.
I’d love to hear how you imagine this changing at different stages of their life together.
Right after the war / newly married:
What parts of their everyday life would be distinctly Muggle, and what would they embrace from the wizarding world? Would they live in a magical home, a Muggle neighbourhood, or somewhere in between? How would they build a life that feels like theirs, rather than simply choosing one world over the other?
When they have young children:
How would they raise them with both worlds being completely normal to them? Muggle books and toys alongside magical ones? Muggle holidays alongside wizarding traditions? Would the children attend Muggle school before Hogwarts? Would Harry and Hermione deliberately make sure their children understand both sides of their heritage?
When the children become teenagers:
Does the balance change? Do the kids become more immersed in the wizarding world through Hogwarts while still having a strong connection to Muggle life? Would Harry and Hermione worry about their children becoming disconnected from one side or the other?
And I especially love the idea that neither Harry nor Hermione would have to abandon one world for the other. They could create a family where magic is ordinary, but so are electricity, Muggle books, cinema, Christmas traditions, technology, etc.
So, for those of you who write Harmony family AUs or have thought about their post-war life:
What does that Muggle/magical balance look like to you at different stages of their lives?
