MUGGLES FOR HARRY POTTER!
Letters from muggles of all stripes--parents, grandparents, teachers, doctors, librarians, readers old and young--were unanimous in decrying Lakshmi Chaudhry's "Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Epic" [Aug. 13/20], her review of the final book of the series. Letters featured such terms as "humorless," "sanctimonious," "asinine," "off the mark," "nonsense," "half-baked" and "a review that might have appeared in The Weekly Standard." A reader opined that Chaudhry had "splattered herself with her own ink. Perhaps the quill she used came from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes." No letters were delivered by owl. --The Editors
