Wormtail, and the Zoo

Ron is the one who pops up, and explains who Peter was (If I recall right), which means that it was a discussed thing in his house hold.

They speak of him receiving the Order of Merlin, posthumously, and I am under the impression that that isn't something that is too frequently given out.  Hence the knowledge that everyone is familiar with.

THE ZOO

My son and his best friend (and family) went to the zoo (Of course, I was there too!), and went trick-r-treating.  It was called Boo at the Zoo, curtsey of Akron Zoo (Ohio).  Besides the normal animals (Lions, and tigers and bears, oh my (and penguins, otters, and wallaby!), there was one animal that got me into a conversation.  I have definitely been indoctrinated!

On the top of the hill, across from the Turkey Vulture, and right beside the American Eagle (white head--is that the right name?) was another cage.  A family was right behind me, and the kids went with their "Aunt" Kat to run through a hay-bale tunnel.  I looked in the cage, and grinned widely, and announced, to no one in particular, "HEDWIG!"

The lady pushing the stroller behind me, looked in, and said, "Yes, you're right!"  Turns out she's read book one.  I told her about the group, so maybe we'll get her in here!

The owl?  Well, it looked like it could be a stunt double for the movie--it's beautiful!  It did look rather bored, though.

2. Her (Anne, by the way): even if Fred and George did, for some reason,
see "Peter Pettigrew" someplace on the map, they would not know who he
was. We've already discussed the general non-informed status of the
children about the Voldemort years. Wizard parents were having to
explain to their kids who Sirius Black was; why would anyone have known
the name of his supposed victim? (before Harry and company learn about
it in book 3).
