Five Reasons Why Magical Britain is Likely Cursed

With the constant misfortune plaguing the British magical community, many have speculated various reasons as to why so much misfortune has befallen our citizens. While many have seen the focus of this string of rotten events to be centered around Hogsmeade, further observations may lead many of our readers to realize that so much devastation has been spread throughout magical Britain as a whole. Here we will bring forth five possible reasons that such occurances may be happening within our community, though we encourage our readers to think hard. Do you have any guesses as to why so much misfortune has happened to magical Britain?

1. Is it The Muggleborns?
As many might remember, muggles once discovered magic in London. This lead to riots and deaths among the wizarding community. It also lead to several muggleborns being disowned from many walks of life, some before even entering Hogwarts. Some have speculated that due to this, muggleborns blame older wizarding families for having to hide from muggles and being viewed as evil. As a result, some may feel that certain groups of muggleborns may be behind the misfortune that seems to constantly plague the British wizarding community.

2. Is it The Vampires?
Before you laugh us off and throw out this page, we urge you to read on. No, we do not believe that vampires have suddenly gained the ability to use magic. However, we do believe that it is possible that certain vampires may have hired wizards to do their dirty work. As many of our readers know, there have been many vampire attacks.

But some may not know that some vampires are fighting for rights to be treated as equal citizens? We believe that it may be possible that more extremist vampires have decided to take matters into their own hands and 'fight back' so they may claim rights from a frightenes populace. Of course, such actions would be wildly barbaric, but what can one expect from a creature of the night?

3. Is it an Ancient Artifact?
Many may remember the fog of Hogsmeade and Irvingly. How it had caused so much devastation and chaos for the residents of the area. If one artifact can cause so much chaos, what could another or even multiple artifacts do if they got loose or even into the wrong hands? Should the Ministry be looking into cursed objects with more attentive care?

4. Is it a Dark Wizard?
While thankfully many dark wizards have been known to only be petty criminals who have been easily handled by aurors, perhaps there is a more powerful wizard or witch lurking in the shadows. Has a member of our own community decided to weaken our defenses before taking any further steps to take control from the Ministry?

5. Is it the Ministry?
This is not the first time we have put the Ministry under a magnifying glass. Due to a seeming lack of control in multiple deparments, it would not come as a surprise if many of these 'Ministry incidents' were actually on purpose! Are we truly being lead to believe that all of this chaos involving the government is supposed to all be accidents?
