catkind: If you're interested in deadly sins, there are some cool
essays on the subject by Pegg Kerr in the files section.

I'm not so sure gluttony is a sin in the Potterverse. The first thing
Hagrid does to cheer Harry up is feed him sausages and later
ice-cream.  Hogwarts' feasts are amazing, and there are always
desserts, and then there is the sweet-shop.  If gluttony is a sin, why
all this wonderful food all around? Ron's also quite keen on his
dinner if I recall correctly.

Or is there a technical definition of gluttony beyond eating lots that
I don't know?
