The other day, I was riding in the car with Tim when the cassette 
reached that scene. As Harry failed to understand that they were 
going to time travel the first time Hermione told him so, and still 
didn't understand the second time she told him, and kept being 
confused about the whole thing, Tim commented: "Harry is a mundane." 
No insult intended to my fellow HP fans, but 'mundane' is what sf 
fans call people who don't read sf. Any sf fan would be familiar 
with the idea of time travel and its associated paradoxes.
