is the title given for Dumbledore 's title on Harry's Hogwarts school letter

Headmaster: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE
(Order of Merlin, First class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump,
International Confed. of Wizwards)

...Hmmm, most these are pretty self- expalatory except for Mugwump...Any
Ideas what this could be?"

Mugwump - Jocular term for a great man. What Hagrid calls him all the time!

This came up in Yahoo message 1755 and a few messages leading from that
discuss the use of chief warlock (message in a similar area with titles like
warlock, wizard and mugwump).

PS: This is a test since I sent two messages yesterday to different e-groups
and neither has arrived yet!
