One brave Potterhead said,
[My friend] is constantly astonished by how bad the Harry Potter world-building is so please drop your favorite nugget of completely nonsensical ‘Potter’ lore here…
And Twitter users responded.
1. The Lack Of Awareness
It's not lore but I could never get my head around the fact that they can't really decide if wizards are completely segregated from the rest of the world or are hidden among them. Like they live in london brownstones but have zero clue what cars are? What?

Polyjuice lets you turn into another person. Felix Felices gives you the uncanny ability to do the exact right thing. Veritaserum forces someone to only speak the truth. None of these potions are regulated in any way, because they're a bit hard to make right.

They can regrow all the bones in your arm in 24 hours but half the wizards have glasses bc there’s no wizard lasik

Also never think too hard about the British wizarding system of justice, where if you’re wrongly convicted there’s so recourse and you’re sent to an island where monsters suck out your soul

The fact that a spell exists which can irrevocably hide absolutely anything, but is never used on any items that need to be permanently hidden to prevent ultimate evil.
