And speaking of the Bible references, I have to say I didn't really like how that was done. The holidays, the churches and cemeteries, the occasional "Thank God!" and yet nobody, Muggle or magical, is observant of any religion. I found it very inconsistent.

At the same time, it's probably very reflective of the state of the church in Britain.

So this morning on the way out the door Jr. says to me “why did Hedwig have to die?”

He’s been too busy/tired to read very far.

Consistency, they say, is a bugaboo of small minds. :-)

Little things like that just bother me, like a dripping faucet: Why do wizards have flush toilets, but not pencils, for example? Why do they have radios, but not televisions or telephones?

(I know, just shut up and clean something ...)
