  Anyone who is eating any of the meals in the Great Hall is not keeping
  kosher, at least not according to the rules. They're not eating any
  meat, as no one even claims that it was slaughtered according to kosher
  laws. They're not eating any dairy products, as no one even claims that
  the utensils etc used with the dairy products were never ever used with
  meat. If they're picky, they're not even eating vegetables in case the
  vegetable was cooked in a pot that had been used for both meat and dairy
  (probably at different times).

  Personally, I have never gotten any impression that Hermione is of
  Jewish ethnicity (which I am, altho' not of Jewish religion) and I
  *have* gotten an impression that her parents the dentists were
  Caribbean-born and she probably has some black ancestors.

  I've heard that the British are almost equally pathetic about learning
  languages. Perhaps there is something about the English language such
  that learning English as a first language does permanent damage to the
  language learning areas of the brain?

  When I trudged through a WHOLE SHOPPING MALL, I found the Big Sticker
  book and the little keychain books, not at any of the stores advertising
  / licensing HP merchandise, but at Card Fever (kind of like a Hallmark
  shop but not Hallmark). They had 3 of the little books (the other was an
  address book) and the photo album's title was FAMOUS WITCHES AND WIZARDS
  and I am kicking myself because I can't remember the titles of the other
  two. As for the book of bumper stickers, I had looked at only the first
  three stickers when Tim asked me if if included MY CHILD IS AN HONORS
  STUDENT AT HOGWARTS SCHOOL so I handed it to him so he could check. He
  told me that it didn't.

  I bought a Quidditch board game to send to my goddessdaughter on the
  other side of the country for Yule and Tim bought her a Beanie Kid with
  an *adorable* witch costume. As the game was destined to be a prezzie, I
  didn't open it to see how it works.

  Voicelady told us of the flavors of Bertie Botts' Beans: the four icky
  flavors in the bag are black pepper, grass (I experienced those two in
  an unmarked bag a few months ago), horseradish and, believe it or not,
  booger.  And new flavors coming next year are dirt, mustard and
  (eeuuuch) vomit.

  This reminded me of an ad I once saw for perfumes that are supposed to
  be comforting smells for the wearer, which included flavors like Grass,
  Dirt, Tomato, Whisky, Pipe Tobacco, Funeral Parlor.... I remembered that
  the brand name was Demeter, so while typing this, I web searched and
  found:

  http://www.fp1.com/shopping/demeter/scents.html  list of flavors
  http://www.fp1.com/shopping/demeter/attitude.html  this is weird
