Does anyone else have a problem with the amazon.com HP store tagline?

"Author J.K. Rowling brought to life a world of magic, mystery, and
mayhem when she introduced Harry Potter to millions of readers. Now
kids can have more adventures with Harry and his friends. Muggles,
mudbloods, and wizards alike are bound to be entertained by these
games and puzzles."
Look at the last sentence. Do you get the feeling that whoever wrote
that may've read GoF, but never read CoS? In GoF, the
whole "horribleness" of that word is alluded to but if you hadn't
read CoS, you might not realize just HOW horrible it is.
But I don't want to sound silly in emailing amazon.com about it - I'm
hoping that by opening the subject up for discussion here, maybe
someone on this list from Scholastic or Warner Bros/AOL will read it
and let amazon know that the tagline is, well, like using words like
(just for illustration purposes!) Jap, Wop or Kike...i.e. not a good
idea.
