Excuse me while I'm having hysterical laugh here. I just can see it:
Ron: "Blimey, Harry, what happened to Dumbledore? He looks completely
different."
Hermione: "Oh, will you ever read "Hogwarts, the history"? Honestly,
it says clearly on page 536 that all Hogwarts headmasters
traditionally go through plastic surgery when they reach 150". Or when
our soap opera reaches 150 episodes, whichever comes the first.

Will that be subtle enough for you, Kyle?
