Ginger, a bit unnerved at responding to Steve this way, replies:

Um, I haven't read the Cards yet, so I don't know if you are quoting 
them or just misremembering the books, but I'll throw in what's in 
the books just for interest, since it is one of my very favourite 
quotes in the whole Potterverse.

In FB, p.18, US edition, the entry for Fwooper reads: 

...Though enjoyable at first, Fwooper song will eventually drive the 
listener to insanity (footnote: Uric the Oddball attempted at one 
time to prove that Fwooper song was actually beneficial to the health 
and listened to it for three months on end without a break.  
Unfortunately, the Wizards' Council to which he reported his findings 
were unconvinced, as he had arrived at the meeting wearing nothing 
but a toupee that on closer inspection proved to be a dead badger.)...

Ginger, Lexicon fangirl, hoping that there isn't a jellyfish 
reference of which she is ignorant
