Anyway, think about how many plot holes are filled in:
1) why are wizards hiding? There's a lot of conflicting information in the books - it's *The* "killing curse", implying it's the only one. But for example sectum sempra *would* kill someone, eventually.
Avada Kedavra is apparently guaranteed instant death, if we ignore Barty claiming he could tank a roomfull and come out of it with a nosebleed. The whole reason harry is a celebrity is that he survived an avada kedavra. So apparently every kid with a wand is walking around with instant death on a stick.

The whole reason harry is a celebrity is that he's apparently the only known person to have survived it once. So apparently every kid with a wand is walking around with instant death on a stick.
how do wizards get persecuted into hiding by muggles, when they can fly and muggles were still horse-centric?

because they don't have as much control of magic as they tell you they do. If a wand and the knowledge of avada kedavra is a handgun with infinite ammo, it still has to be aimed and it takes time to execute, so maybe its feasible for muggles to beat any given wizard's unforgivable dark magic by sending 2 townsfolk with blunderbusses. 3 to be extra sure.

2) why do wizards have to enslave house-elves to cook and clean when there's a clean-up-the-room spell? has there never been a great wizard Microwavicus Boyardee?

4) look at all the construction - the weasleys just magic'd up their house, and whatever building came out is as good as they're ever going to get.
(heh), magical construction predicted vibe coding by 20 years.
Hogwarts has a whimsical labyrinth of stairs with lots of moving parts, surely because a spiral staircase with regular landings just never occured to them.
Wizards have tardis-camp-tents, and yet not every wizard rents a cheap storage unit to store a port key to their palatial mansion.
5) Are spells invented or discovered? We see zero evidence that any wizard has ever had an inkling of curiosity about the fundamental nature of magic itself. Snape apparently created sectum sempra - did he... upload that to the leylines? or did he just go "wow, wave wand in this motion, say these words... conveniently, it works! i don't know why, but it'll work for you, too!" harry's too dumb to have ever invented a spell, surely, but hermione must have.
6) why do evil characters keep demonstrating how much they don't care about their loyal subordinates, but going through trouble to bust them out of jail? because said subordinates are an unfathomably rare specimen of a coworker with some basic competency.

3) hi i tore the very fabric of time and space to move this point to the back: they issued a time travel locket to a 3rd grader! to be honest none of the rest of these even matter.
no wonder the "feared dark lord" (who lost a 1v1 against literally a baby) got brought back to life and had the world re-conquered in a few months.

Analogy: suppose we invented a chemically perfect painkiller. This hypothetical wonder drug has no other side effects, isn't toxic, isn't directly addictive, and is somehow so cheap that everyone has a lifetime supply.

Pain is data, and if this drug is just obscuring that data from you, you won't realize that your damage is outpacing your healing.
