Ginger, bouncing Hermione-like responds:
Oh, Oh, I know! Pick me!
OoP p. 193, US edition. "...and an article on ancient runes, which
at least explained why Luna had been reading the Quibbler upside
down. According to the magazine, if you turn the runes on their
heads they revealed a spell to make your enemy's ears turn into
kumquats."
Not that the ability to read upside-down isn't useful. I find it
helps in Scrabble. So does knowing how to spell kumquat. Must file
that.
Hope that helps, Finwitch, and may I add that I have enjoyed your
posts as of late and I'm sorry I didn't respond to more.
Ginger, who is finally caught up!
