*I love the way Harry’s home is so dreadful and yet everything else is dreadful too. Like, it’s not like he’s found something to like in school or developed a nice relationship with Mrs Figg. The Muggle world just sucks and nothing less than a four poster velvet curtained bed in a castle will do!
Amen, amen, I say unto you! This *really* bothers me about the series at this point; racism is so horrible, and yet every wizard we have met has been racist as a matter of course, and muggles *really are* inferior to wizards in every way - witness the way we never, ever see anything of Hermione's parents, who are presumably normal, intelligent 'muggles'. And what is with this term 'muggle', anyway? We normal, mundane human beings certainly don't call ourselves that!
