Ah ? I do not remember other instances where they mentioned that 
fact. And if that is true, I am worried about Londoners living around 
the MoM, or Diagon Alley : all the magic must seriously disturb their 
electrical appliances. In fact, considering how much the WW wants to 
remain concealed to the Muggles, it would be strange for them to keep 
highly magical places so close to Muggle places if that could give 
them away, would it not ?

What about the Flying Ford Anglia by the way ? The fact that it can 
run out of gas seems to indicate that it still functions in a Muggle 
way, with gas and electricity. How does that work if magic and 
electricity do not go together well ? And if Hogwarts completely 
repels electricity, then Harry and Ron should not even have made it 
to the castle in that car, it should have completely died before.

Just wondering.

It is not you, it is Yahoo. Check all the last messages, they all 
suffer from the same problem. Which explains my weird style in this 
post, I am trying to avoid the use of apostrophes :-)
