Even the train that takes kids to the school is pulled by steam locomotive.

If her books are any indication of what she considers to be an ideal word Mrs. Rowling is a severe case od technophobe and luddite. Mrs. Rowling until now writes EVERYTHING in longhand and has people that type it for her.
I've read all of her stuff and never got the sense she was a Luddite.
