King’s Cross.

King's Cross is where they go to get the train to Hogwarts (Platform 23-1/2, right?) But Charing Cross is where the brick wall is that you have to tap with your wand to gain access to Diagon Alley. That's in the West End, where I stay when I go to London.

(Look, humblegunner! See what a Potter Geek your turned me into? Yes, humblegunner actually turned me on to the Potter books in early '03 and I ate 'em right up.)

An Inkling reference to Christ.

(Did you ever wonder why in the supposedly demonic Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry they celebrate Christmas and Easter? We don’t even do that in California schools!)

How very true. And I believe JK Rowling has said that she is a Christian.

Yeah, yeah. Just get me that Voldy Stick.

That's in the West End, where I stay when I go to London.

It should be a cake walk, then!

Although I have read that Dementors will follow those shard-sticks and nastily retrieve them.

Don't believe internet rumors, though.

Jam it in the mail soonest, if you would.

No sense borrowing trouble.

Darling Daughter was a Harry Potter fan before it was popular. I think she still resents all those other people jumping on her bandwagon...
