This is a strict non crossover challenge that starts post Hogwarts.
It is the year two thousand. The prophecy made by an extinct / conquered civilization that in the year two thousand all advanced technology will cease to exist becomes reality.
Any and all technology that is based on electricity / electronics or advanced engineering fails to work.
Planes crash.
Trains stop.
Trams stop.
Cars no longer respond when their engines stop working causing them to crash and cause accidents. Chaos erupts all around the world. Hundreds of thousands of people die in accidents, crashes and afterwards from injuries and wounds. Many thousands more die from disease, the lack of food and water.
In a mere year millions of people are dead and the major cities have become virtual ghost towns. guns and advanced firearms become incredible rare, forcing people to return to sword and bow.
That is the basic scenario I have in mind. It is with this back story that the story takes place. Witches and wizards also notice what is happening but because they don't rely on technology but on magic they are mostly unaffected.
Several darker witches and wizards take advantage of this to 'put the muggles in their place' since they lost most of their weapons and are forced once more to rely on horses for transportation, sails ships to travel on the sea and so on.
Personally, I hate the canon epilogue. In fact, as far as I am concerned the seventh book (and sixth if I'm feeling particularly nasty) don't exist.
The author can twist it as he or she wishes as long as the background story fits the criteria.
No technology that relies on electronics period.
Millions of people died from wounds, accidents, crashes and diseases.
Doctors and the like have become very rare.
The amount of births have gone down as well because people can no longer go to hospitals for various reasons.
Thoughts about this scenario?
