Arynn:

>> I can't seem to find it, but somewhere in the books, somebody 
(Molly?) is talking about how Arthur never got promoted because of 
what Fudge's attitude is (some referace to his muggle prejudice). 
Can anyone help me find this?<<

KathyK:

Ooh!  I can!  I can!

Molly says, GoF, Ch 36, The Parting of the Ways, US ed. p.71:

"We know what Fudge is.  It's Arthur's fondness for Muggles that has 
held him back at the Ministry all these years.  Fudge thinks he 
lacks proper wizarding pride."

I think it's a combination of Arthur's own interests (what better 
place than in the Misuse of Muggle artifacts to indulge a 
fascination for things Muggle?) and Fudge's attitude, not to mention 
the Wizarding World in general, toward Muggles.


KathyK, who had a flat tire, changed it, drove halfway home only to 
discover the spare had gone flat as well
