StackExchange: How can electricity not work at Hogwarts?
The question was asked because nerves and brains use electricity.
The best answers look at the source material and point out that it isn't electricity that doesn't work, it's mundane applications of electricity that "all go haywire around Hogwarts, there’s too much magic in the air" (Hermione, in Goblet of Fire).
So... I assume (and seem to recall a statement from Bob) that Doug's helmet is protected against EM interference. That should provide protection against magical-field interference, too.
Or am I way off-base here?
