Here's a poser for you: In the Muggleverse that runs alongside the 
Wizarding World in the Harry Potter books, do J.K. Rowling and the 
Harry Potter books exist? And if so:

(1) Does the existence of the books in the (fictional?) Muggleverse 
generate another level of WW and MV, in which the books exist and 
generate...and so ad infinitum? (Inspired by staring fixedly at the 
Land of Lakes butter package while the coffee water heated.)

(1) How does the Wizarding World feel about being "outed" in so 
cavalier a fashion? Do they figure the Muggles think it's just fiction 
and this too shall pass, or is there a delegation from the MoM on its 
way to rearrange Ms. Rowling's memory?

(2) For that matter, is there a WW that runs along side *this* 
Muggleverse? And how does *it* feel about being "outed" in so cavalier 
a fashion...
