I only like the first three Harry Potter books, when Scabbers goes, so does the book having any credibility it seems.

People don’t like Harry Potter for the story, so when it tries too be serious it falls apart. The part of Harry Potter people enjoy is the whimsy of the wizarding world, that’s it.

If magic interferes and influences electricity, which means it can be measured, analyzed and manipulated as a new form of energy.

To cover up magic on all “fronts” would be impossible by today’s standards. Harry Potter would never be as successful nower days as it was. Simply because the smartphone enters the life’s of humans as essential device very early in life.

Kind of hard to switch off all those thoughts.

Easiest explanation is: there is no electricity in hogwarts and wizards don’t have electricians nor electricity generation, so “electricity doesn’t work in hogwarts”.

If magic was electromagnetic or at least can be measured by effects that it has wizards would have been found during 20th century by general populace.

The easiest explanation is that it’s magic and we’re all muggles and therefore incapable of understanding it.
Something something magichlorians
There is nothing in the books that says that people without magic can’t understand it? I think there was a plot point in 4 or 5 book where harry is on trial for using some spell to scare away dementors, and his neighboor testifies that he really did it and people don’t believe her cause she doesn’t have magic. But that’s only seeing magical creatures, what stops anyone from understanding it exactly? They do repeatable things that return repeatable results, pretty understandable.
the neighbor is a squib, not a muggle
What’s the difference? There is no half magical state, you either can do magic or can’t.
