Go ahead. I tagged the release thread, after all.
And this gives me an excuse to elaborate on it: as I see it, the first three or four volumes look basically like the OTL versions. When the JKR of Krypton-1 asked herself "How can Harry not know he's a wizard?", in addition to him being raised by Muggles, she added the detail of it being on a parallel Earth (though, for the most part, this only comes up in the context of the Dursleys having so little "real life" context for Harry's mage-gift). If we're still keeping the notion that science-fiction became mainstream sooner than in OTL, then it's reasonable use of SFnal tropes.
For the last sentence, I had reference to OTL!JKR having said (in at least one interview) that any similarities between the GWOT and the Second Wizarding War are merely down to her drawing on real life for corroborative detail; I assume her counterpart would've done the same with WW3. In particular, she might well have felt free to have the War knock the Secrecy Statute into a cocked hat...
