Great Summary!  Thanks, Lisa.

The students don't seem to have a textbook to teach them about 
political science in the wizarding world.  Maybe something like "The 
Structure and Influence of MoM:  When Justice is Jinxed," by Reed A.  
Poll.

We also haven't seen a medical textbook.  So perhaps "A Guide to 
Curing the Wizard or Witch," by Alotta Nerve.

I think Hogwarts textbooks should be more magical.  The Monster Book 
of Monsters and Invisible Book of Invisibility are very clever.  
Wouldn't it be nice if Hogwarts textbooks didn't have a fixed 
structure and table of contents, though?  Instead, the text should 
shift around, so that whatever you are looking for appears magically 
at the front.
