    Wasn’t his job trying to figure out how muggle stuff worked? With most wizards not even having a high school level comprehension of the basics of technology. Guys job was probably the most important of all given that technology advances exponentially and magic in the setting appears to be almost completely stagnant.

      Nope. His job was mostly to mop up after careless wizards and witches that enchanted or cursed Muggle objects to behave… differently than intended.

      His fascination with Muggle stuff was a completely personal thing, although most others disliked it. Which to me made little sense, wizards being so stuck up their own arse they completely ignore the Muggle world like they’re not part of it when the literally live around them.

      nah, he did the figuring out on his own time, and it was generally discouraged (from the context clues we are given)
