I was so pleased with Scholastic this time for keeping in so many of the
British sayings. I was delighted by the Happy Christmas, the jumper, the
trainers, etc.
I do have 2 questions for any British members.
1) What does prat mean? They used it GOF too and though I get the general
idea, would really like a definition.
and
2) What about peaky? Mrs. Weasley says Harry looks peaky when she first
sees him. I thought it meant pale, but later in the book she comments how
pale he is (after the hospital scene). So what is peaky?
Thanks!
Melinda
