This seems to go hand in hand with a sad lack of extracurricular 
activities at Hogwarts.  I mean, there's Quidditch, and there's... 
uhm... Quidditch.  Okay, there was a Duelling Club in CoS, but that 
doesn't seem to have lasted.  Where are the other sports?  The 
band?  The school newspaper?  Where are the theater geeks, the Chess 
Club, the arts & crafts enthusiasts? Does the library even have a 
fiction section? I'm beginning to think most wizards live really 
shallow lives.
