One thing that puzzles me upon reading SS is the Great Humberto.
Dudley fusses about missing the show of that name when they are
running about trying to avoid Harry's Hogwarts letters. Upon first
reading, I had assumed that the Great Humberto was a magician, along
the lines of the Great Houdini. The only other option that comes
into my head would be that of a superhero, but that sounds a bit
corny.
Given Vernon's attitude towards magic, imagination, and things of
that nature, would he even allow Dudders to watch such a program?
Sure, Dudley is spoilt rotten, but he must have some limits. I can
see Vernon drawing the line on this one for fear that it may give
Harry, if not Dudley, "ideas".
So, Good Brits, *is* (or was)there an actual show called the Great
Humberto? If not, what type would it be? Magic? Superhero?
Something else?
Just one of those things that puzzles.

wonderfully difficult time getting through it.
