Reading the Harry Potter books will help to make you a more tolerant human being, according to this story.

In other news, moving is awful, but better than so many other things happening in the world that comparatively it is fine. Let us not talk about the landlord, who may yet end up being taken to the tribunal. And my plague has come over all mediaeval, but after a third day in bed, I think I have turned the corner. Which is a relief, because the alternative was tremendously 14th century.

One day some brilliant person will come up with an important engineering application for snot, and my unwanted superpower of mucous will earn me a FORTUNE. Until then, I am going to have to plant three trees in a bid to balance out all these tissues …

Hmmm.......


I re-read them for the first time earlier this year and reached the conclusion that wizards really aren't nice people to minorities or even fellow humans at all!

Hope you get over the dreaded lurgi soonest!

Some are, but many are dreadful because they put no thought into their social beliefs. I think that Harry's frequent 'But that is clearly bananas' when he comes up against some of the mores of the wizarding world is a good way to encourage young people in particular to question prejudices around them.

Thank you. I am breathing more like a human and less like a walrus today ;-)
