Lockhart did not invent Wagga Wagga and neither did JKR. It  is 
a real place. The name means "the place of many crows."  It's 
the largest city in New South Wales, Australia.


 I like Rita's theory that the Homorphus charm doesn't cure the 
werewolf, it only returns it briefly to human form, so that the 
werewolf's human identity can be discovered and the werewolf 
can be  be confined during future transformations.
