Interesting in- and outpatient attendances at Hogwarts Infirmary and St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies

Abstract

Ailments afflicting wizarding folk are under reported in the muggle world. The recent integration of muggles and magical folk with the return of You-Know-Who (aka He Who Must Not Be Named) may result in a similar affliction of inhabitants of both worlds. We describe interesting maladies afflicting muggles and wizarding folk alike, arising from the use and misuse of magic. We also provide a basic glossary of magical ailments, and describe their muggle corollaries. Further studies will hopefully result in the development of immunity against the unforgiveable curses.
