[Harry Potter] Does the benefits that magic would bring to humanity not outweigh the ramifications of magic being revealed to the world?

I'm mean come on, these guys can infinetly multiply the tiniest morsel of food and solve world hunger.

Magical remedies can probably cure most regular disease, also what the hell happens to muggles that contract magical diseases?


These bastards have hidden cities/towns its not like helping out the human population results in their total demise.

They could expand the floo network/set up portkeys to the goddamn moon or some shit and probably teraform Mars for all we know.

Wizards are selfish assholes and are impeding human development.

A big problem is that magic, unlike muggle technology, is not something that everyone can use, so it divides society fundamentally. Magical society will see itself fit for rule as the superior class of human, and muggle society will be envious of this and use their superior knowledge of science and technology (which in some respects surpasses some fields of magic) to try to overthrow the magical society.

The International Statute of Secrecy is essentially a global series of two-state solutions that stops a potential war without a clean victor, which could arguably be much more deadly than world hunger and disease.

Were it possible to bestow magical ability on muggles so all of society can use magic and technology together, then I'd advocate that the ISS should be repealed, but that likely requires the combination of muggle science with magical principles. The only people who have any kind of chance of doing that are wizards and witches who were raised by muggles, mainly muggle-borns, but they don't make up a very big part of the population and often grow up indoctrinated by magical society into dismissing muggle advancements.
