Is Harry Potter an isekai

the wizards world is interconnected with the real one and it's not in another dimension, so no. Narnia's Chronicles could be considered an isekai

@RikaDerufu
Interconnected, yes.
But it definitelly is in another dimension.

There is no way you can walk to a 9 3/4 platform. There is no place you can walk to reach the Diagon Alley. The only way to reach the wizzarding word is through magic. It is a different dimension, even if closely connected thourgh many means..

It's not. The geography of Harry Potter is largely uninspiring. They're not in separate dimensions, merely hidden from view to the uninitiated. The series still broadly fits the isekai genre thoughever.

@rher @matana @RikaDerufu
They literally are though. The platform 9 3/4 is placed exactly where platform 9 is. There are trains passing through trains. It is a separate space.

It's not. It's a complete platform that is impercievable from the outside.. The whole thing still has to be connected to the english rail network and wizards are cheap bastards.

It doesn't help that the movies showed things differently. IIRC The Black house in the books had that secret keeper charm on it so it was invisible to everyone that didn't know the secret. Instead of the buildings moving as shown in the movies.

Also hogwarts had charms on it as well that made it so muggles couldn't see it or go near it. Basically a lot of it just came down to "Its magic bitch I ain't go to explain shit"

@LukeAlmighty @matana @Awoo @LukeAlmighty @RikaDerufu @matana @rher It's like the SEP field in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
It's still there, it's just Someone Else's Problem

Let's say, that for a moment, I do accept, that the muggles are just ignoring and walking around a deformed space.

The hidden space still has a culture, fauna, animals and laws of physics different more then enough for it, to be called "another world". Especially, since it is inacessable to the normies.
