She publically admitted that 1/3rd of it is (or was) real belief and practice. As a Christian, that should give you serious pause.

1st - Don't preach to me.

2nd - We've pointed out that people used to believe a lot of things. And of course there's a smidgen of actual beliefs in there. Good grief no one's ever denied that.

What we've pointed out is that it's not real. If anything Rowling is making fun of those beliefs.

You'd know that if you'd read the books.

3rd - Don't preach to me.

“We’ve pointed out that people used to believe a lot of things. And of course there’s a smidgen of actual beliefs in there.”

“Children often, often ask me how much of the magic is in inverted commas “real” in the books in the sense that did anyone ever believe in this? I would say - a rough proportion - about a third of the stuff that crops up is stuff that people genuinely used to believe in Britain. “ -JKR

A third = a “smidgen”?

Interesting.

” Good grief no one’s ever denied that.”

It’s been denied many, many times on this thread!
