Thanks Geoff, that should be Kings X. From Australia, it's easy to
confuse them.

To my mind, JKR has not situated Potterverse in modern times at all.
As I've said in previous posts, it seems almost medieval - at latest
WW2. It's cartoonish with respect to how a British PM would react, the
use of fighter planes, etc. It might be to give it a timelessness. But
I wonder if the lack of mention of iPods, mPods and zPods means modern
kids will lack interest in HP?
