Thank you for your question. The decision to keep the wizarding world hidden from Muggles was never made lightly, and it stems from a time when history saw the persecution and prosecution of witches and wizards. By maintaining secrecy, we aimed to protect both our magical and non-magical communities from harm, misunderstanding, and potential conflict. We created the International Statute of Secrecy to enforce this separation and promote peace between our worlds. Additionally, it was vital to ensure that magical knowledge did not fall into the wrong hands, as it could pose significant risks to Muggle society if misused. We understand the curiosity and the desire for unity, but the health and wellbeing of both communities have always been our top priority in making such decisions.
