[Harry Potter/Star Trek] If we assume that Wizards remained clandestine even into the 24th century how might they and their culture have changed over time to remain so?

[](/vsspace) Contrary to popular belief, wizards *do* adapt to Muggle technology; they simply advance at a multi-decades lag. For instance, there were radios at Hogwarts and wizarding households in the 1990s, even though most wizards would have been clueless if faced with a computer.

So a few decades after a technology is invented, the constant flow of Muggle-borns will start allowing said tech to trickle into society. Wizards will either figure out how to make the gadget work around magic, or else bewitch it to be powered by magic. In addition, after the Second Wizarding War radical pureblood thinking began to wain in popularity, and more and more wizards began to be fascinated by the increasingly impressive starships Muggles were launching off their planet.

I doubt a full integration would ever be made, but you'd definitely find wizards on starships who have a basic idea what phasers, replicators, and holosuites are. (Replicators in particular would be remarkable, as a technological innovation that actually surpasses what magic is capable of.)

I'd be far more interested in seeking out other magical communities hidden amongst the other races of the Milky Way. All the humanoid races share a genetic profile, so there's no reason why there shouldn't be a secret society of Klingon sorcerers or a reclusive sect of Bajoran miracle workers. And of course, let us not forget Q, perhaps the magical being of all.
