What?  You mean the WW isn't real?  These are not real people?  lol.
There were times when I just yelled at Harry "what are you 
thinking!".  I too hated Umbridge, I had a supervisor like her once, 
so seeing her getting her comeuppance was good.

And when DD died, I was depressed for a month. And thinking that 
Hogwarts will be closed, this really upset me.  As long as DD was 
there and Hogwarts was there, all was right with the world.  My 
world
 our world. 

I have to hand it to JKR, she has made a world and people in it that 
are as real as our own.  I know many people, myself included, that 
long to be part of the WW as JKR has made it, especially in the 
earlier books.  As the books go on, it is not as fun a place, and 
starts to be like the RW.  But still the magic would be fun.  Now if 
I just concentrate really, really hard I can use this wand to clean 
my house.  There are no Muggles around, after all.
