To ward off the elves..and on the topic of blowing things up.. do you 
suppose there are any muggle weapons that can hurt a wizard ? At the 
risk of reviving the exciting topic of Vauxhall Rd..I am still 
mystified that the whole of the WW seem not to have noticed WW2, or 
indeed any other Muggle war..
