Wizarding security was now tight enough that any number of isolated witches and wizards who would formerly have married one of the neighboring Muggles, now simply did not marry at all rather than to allow their identity as wizards to become known outside their own households.
In isolation, the wizarding world had grown accustomed to feeling that it would remain safe for as long as it had nothing to do with Muggles, and the wizarding public was probably a good deal more concerned with the threat of the dangerous Muggle mob than the threat of yet another Goblin uprising.
Wizards must have adopted their robes at some point after Seclusion was established, probably in some muzzy-minded attempt to connect with what they believed to be wizarding traditions, and they have since managed to convince themselves that robes have always been the traditional wizarding costume.

 Wizarding world - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While aspects of the Wizarding world appear mediaeval or even pre-mediaeval in character, the time it most often evokes is the early-to-mid 19th century.
Wizards have had a cure for the common cold for years: it is known as Pepper-up Potion and is characterised by the patient emitting steam from their ears.
The Wizarding world is fragmented and disassociated in structure.

Indeed, given that in every generation more pureblood wizards and witches take the option of marrying outside the ever-narrowing pureblood sector of the wizarding population, Muggle-born births can be expected to begin routinely outnumbering those of the hard-line purebloods in the very foreseeable future, since the numbers of the hard-liners will have decreased.
Outside the wizarding world, assuming that the incidence of Muggle-born magical births is anything like that of today, that population of roughly 6 million would have produced perhaps 1 or 2 magical children a year.
For security’s sake, both the wizarding importers’ consortium (which I propose was formed to meet the needs of the newly secluded wizarding world) and the Ministry of Magic would have actively made it their business to monitor the trends in Muggle society over the previous century.

 Hitchhiker's Guide to Publishing in the Wizarding World
Wizards wear robes, presumably in such a way as to get a 'healthy breeze' around their privates (GF7) in the medieval manner, and similarly they use drippy ink with mainly quills (reed pens for thicker writing) on parchment, in the late Classical or early Medieval manner.
In the Muggle world, books made of parchment were bound in wood (which is why we use the word ‘board’ to describe the heavy paper used for covers).
One last problem in considering publishing in the wizarding world is the quality of the books.

 Muggle and wizarding world

 Harry Potter | The World of Harry Potter
And so, when the Muggles began hunting down the witches and wizards, perhaps thinking they were responsible for all the magical mayhem in the world, it must be that the witches and wizards began banding together for their own protection.
If that is the case, either the majority of witches and wizards felt they could not hope to sustain, let alone win, such a war, or else they believed they would have to destroy Muggles or somehow completely dominate them.
So, Harry Potter's world encompasses both the Muggle landscape in which monsters and witches and wizards are not real and the magical landscape in which witchcraft and wizardry and magical creatures are normal, everyday experiences.

 Religion in the wizarding world... - Chamber of Secrets
I also think that the religion in the wizarding world is parallel to the religion in the muggle world.
It would seem that wizards born to muggle parents would get 11 years worth of religion and would likely not want to give this up when they entered the wizarding world--religion is something people feel strongly about.
Of course, it could also be argued that this is how muggle culture entered, but it seems to me improbable that there is no religion in the wizarding world, or that they have their own religion (since they wouldn't celebrate "pagan" holidays).

The astounding success of the Harry Potter series of children's fantasy novels is an unexpected cultural phenomenon, but a welcome one for lawyers and legal academics: Harry's story is a story about law, and about a society trying to establish a rule of law.
Harry's world is administered, ineptly, by the Ministry of Magic.
This article attempts to examine the problems with the wizarding word's legal system by focusing on one particular problem: the Unforgivable Curses, three spells whose use on humans is punishable by life imprisonment.

Anyway, Allison your comment about Hermione reminds me that I've always suspected that one of the reasons that people like Voldermort and Lucius dislike "Mudbloods" is that they come to the wizarding world with their Muggle viewpoints.
Being that they weren't raised in the Wizarding World such as, say Ron, they will have different ways of looking at things such as the judicial system.
HErmione (and Harry as well) would come in and see how things work in the Wizarding world and may one day have the potential to petetion to change things to ways similar to the way they are in the Muggle World.

 Shoes in the wizarding world - .: The Snitch Harry Potter Community
I've been thinking about wizard clothes vs muggle clothes, and I think that except for long robes that wizards wear, the clothes are probably about the same.
I remember some vague description in OoTP about a witch or wizard going to the wizarding hosptial because the shoes were biting their feet - but that may have been due to a curse by a family member.
I think muggle borns would certainly be attending Hogwarts with muggle shoes as they won't have known any better if there are different kinds of magical ones.
