Welcome to The Wizarding World in 1926 New York City!
During this time, NYC operates with a constant edge of secrecy and caution. Unlike the UK’s more open magical society, American wizards live under more restrictive laws, especially regarding relationships and interactions with No-Majs (non-magical people). 1920s New York City was a bustling hub of energy and transformation, at the heart of the Roaring Twenties. Skyscrapers like the Empire State Building were reshaping the skyline, and jazz music filled the air, especially in Harlem, marking the city as a cultural and economic epicenter. With women embracing flapper fashion and newfound independence, and speakeasies thriving despite Prohibition, nightlife and social conventions were evolving. New York’s magical community has its own unique quirks—underground magical speakeasies, mystical creatures roaming alleyways, and even rogue dark wizards lurking in the shadows. This vibrant mix made New York a city of dazzling excitement and deep contrasts, capturing the spirit of the decade.
