I have a question about the mandrakes in CoS. Did anyone else feel
sorry for the poor things? Here, they were given so many human
qualities. Professor Sprout even told how mature they were by their
behavior (throwing raucus parties, moving into each other's pots,
etc). Then they were to be cut up for restorative potions!

Just food for thought.
