Excerpt:

"Howard J. Bennett, a pediatrician in Northwest 
Washington, was alerted to the peril when three 
patients, ages 8 to 10, complained in June that 
they had been suffering from headaches for two 
or three days. 

"'In each case, the headache was dull and the 
pain fluctuated throughout the day,' Bennett 
wrote in a letter published in today's issue 
of the New England Journal of Medicine...

"...'On further questioning, it was determined 
that each child had spent many hours reading 
J.K. Rowling's latest book in the Harry Potter 
series,' Bennett wrote in the letter, which 
journal editors titled 'Hogwarts Headaches -- 
Misery for Muggles.'"
