Abstract

Harry Potter’s world as described by J.K. Rowling in a series of books for children is not the world of us, ordinary humans.1 Owls delivering letters overnight would be handy. Howling letters that criticize their recipients in public might be embarrassing. In the Harry Potter books, some humans cross species boundaries when they transform themselves into dogs, rats, cats, and other animals. There is a map that shows in real time where in Hogwarts everyone is. We poor muggles have to be satisfied with the world of Dudley Dursley, haven’t we?
