Carol responds:
Your remark leads me to wonder (again) how all the wizard parents
disguise themselves when they drop off or pick up their children a
Platform 9 3/4. A Muggleborn or half-blood parent would know how to
disguise him- or herself as a Muggle, but purebloods like the Weasleys
seem somehow (despite seven kids who wear jeans and jumpers on
occasion and despite Arthur's fascination with Muggles) not to know
exactly how Muggles dress. And Lucius or Narcissa Malfoy might know
how Muggles dress but would never (IMO) lower themselves to pass as
one. So how do they hide from the Muggles at King's Cross Station?
Does anyone think they use a "don't notice me" charm like the one
Ffred mentions above, some variation on the Disillusionment Charm or
something like the spell that's used to hide Hogwarts from Muggles?
Certainly Molly doesn't put any such spell on her children or Harry,
but might she put one on herself?

Ideas, anyone?

Carol
