Yeah i’ve always felt that the castle is basically stuck on pre industrial revolution technology (the plumbing might be an exception). The rest of the wizard world seems to be stuck in late medieval period stylistically, or otherwise 1810’s. Clearly wizards are always a century or so behind on Muggle tech - fantastic beasts movies kind of ruined this but i did think that american wizards being into muggle tech and machinery was a nice touch and thematically congruent both with our own world and the HP world.
