Last week I noticed that the hag Malodora Grymm has a Famous Witches
and Wizards card. Today I checked The Lexicon for other non-humans
with FW cards and found other hags, some goblins, some vampires, some
giants. (Vampires crossed my mind during the week, when I heard
something on the news about an Italian playing in US Open named
Sanguinetti; I wondered if he were a vampire.)


In GoF, Percy mentions "the Guidelines for the Treatment of Non-Wizard
Part-Humans –" in reference to vampires. If they're non-wizards,
why
put them on Famous Wizards cards? I wonder how the wizard humans
distinguish between non-humans and part-humans.

I also wonder if hags are the females of a spedies whose males are
called another name. Trolls? Ogres?
