There is only so much detail a person can fit into a book. Just like 
presents... [cut] I also think that there is a limited 
amount of 'bathroom time' that can be shown without parents accusing J.K. of

being a porn writer. <g> Plus, does anyone want to really read about the 
characters taking a bath? (opps, sorry forgot, most of probably fantasize 
about that). If they do take showers on a regular basis, I really don't 
understand the reason Myrtle is so glum all the time. :-)

Me:
That's what I believe it's behind JKR choice not to describe 'bath time',
she was never asked anything about it but was asked about presents and
replied that she can't put everything into the books but Harry does give Ron
and Hermione birthday and Xmas presents, so I guess that she would assure us
that Harry does wash!
But i'd love to read something about 'bath time' and for no twisted reason
but just because tha situation has a big comic potential. has anyone read
the Buckeridge's Jennings series?Kids can turn almost anything into a game
and when water is involved there's much more fun, wasn't anyone thrilled by
real life summer waterbaloons wars?. Right now Harry and co. are maybe too
old to use such a situation as comic relief, but I would have really loved
to read something like that in book 1 and 2.

Who could not stop laughing all the way through 'Jennings goes to School'.
