Sandra replies -

Well whatever it is, I've learned two new words from this 
discussion. Simalucrum, and koan. I have no idea what either 
mean but I'm determined to drop them into a conversation 
sometime soon. Maybe next time I'm going round the shops. 
Look out Woolies.
As for the wizworld and muggle world, I'll settle for being 
bewildered and hope JKR paints over a few grey areas and ties 
up quite a few loose ends, dots the i's and crosses all t's in the 
next book. Maybe.

Sandra (none the wiser, but enjoying the discussions!)
