I see at least three possibilities: 1. It is not so sure that there actually exist sets of equations of which a "Harry Potter universe" includes a counterpart of you. 2. There may well exist a "Harry Potter universe" that includes a counterpart of you but it is not causaly related to our universe (too far for instance) and this is why we cannot observe it. 3. You actually are in a "Harry Potter universe" but it just happened that you are not a sorcerer and you must know that in "Harry Potter universes", non sorcerers are prevented fromm observing magical events.
