AmanitaMuscaria now :
URGGH! Interesting, isn't it, how JKR can put in very subtle hints 
about pretty gruesome things - thinking about Umbridge and the 
Centaurs now - without any problem? I'm assuming it is deliberate, 
and we're just slow in picking up the implications. Perhaps we've all 
been lulled into the 'children's book' false sense of security. Or 
maybe it's just me? Eeech - I think I'm going to have nightmares 
tonight ...
Cheers. AmanitaMuscaria
