I hereby decree that "speculum" is the new "Hitler." IOW, please stop? Pretty please?
Sure, as long as you realise I may not be able to look at Hitler again without snickering.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

On re-read I am noticing that JKR does spend a fair amount of time on wandlore even if it is still convoluted in the climax.
The funniest line in the book was when Ron gave Harry the How to Pick Up Witches book, and said, "It's not all wand work, either." I choked on my water.

I was pretty sure I heard some slashers giggling when Hermione was changing Ron's appearance, and Harry's comment was "well he's not my type, but he'll do."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My god, Hermione whines. "But Harry you promised you wouldn't let the Dark Lord overpower you anymore and get into your head!" Damn it, girl, you think he enjoys this? You think he doesn't remember anything unless you harp about it?
He's tempted by doing it. It gives him knowledge. Hermione thinks the risk is more significant than the reward, she always has.
It's a nice grey area.
And, yeah, as fond as I am of porn and filth, I vote "not in the kids book please" as well.
