You have to have left a smiley off that comment.

It's lso true of underpants and toothpaste. no one never 
goes to the toilet; Ron never washes his hair; Petunia 
never rushes to the corner shop for a packet of frozen 
peas..... etc. etc.

....or at least it's never an important part of the story line.

Geoff:
I suspect they would comment if your reply was
considered to be a bit near the mark. But personally I 
don't think that the comment which you highlight has 
actually overstepped the bounds of /diplomatic/ 
criticism.

Anyway, a Happy New Harry-Potter-discussing Year everyone.
