I've seen many filks on this list so perhaps this is the right place 
to post an idea for a filk. I checked on the Harry Potter Filks 
website and couldn't find anything like this, so here goes. We don't 
know much about Hermione's parents, but we do know that they seem to 
have accepted and perhaps even embraced the fact that she's a witch. 
They also seem to be quite proud of Hermione both as a person and as 
a student. As compared to the Dursleys and most muggles, the Grangers 
are very forward-thinking. You might even called them modern ... 
thoroughly modern... especially for Muggles... perhaps even 
Thoroughly Modern Muggles??:-)

I'm not a filker; I'm neither clever nor patient enough (nor well 
enough informed on the source material) to write a Harry Potter filk. 
Nevertheless I have eked out a tiny start and ending (not exactly 
like JKR telling us that the last word of the series will 
be "scar";). So here goes:

Thoroughly Modern Muggles

Her-mio-ne's parents are thoroughly modern 
(and they're glad that she's a witch)
Dum de dum de dum de dum de dum da...

etc.
etc.
etc.

(last line of chorus)
They're Thoroughly Modern Muggles now....

That's all I can do. Take it away, Caius, Gail, et al:-)
