"If Harry Potter and Voldemort fight their war with Muggle weapons there will be nothing left of the world but fire!"

"What?" said Minerva. She had heard of guns, of course, but they weren't that dangerous to an experienced witch -

I haven't read the books - is Minerva's incredible ignorance of the Muggle world here canonical?

Yes, it's used frequently for comic effect (e.g. Arthur Weasley's enthusiasm and lack of clue concerning Muggle artifacts).

Draco was surprised to learn that muggles had been to the moon.

Are you saying that's in a J K Rowling book?

No, I misread the original comment. BALETED.

Why delete? IIRC, half of it was still relevant, and in any case deleting comments with replies forces readers to wonder what more was said.

Random related thought: It'd be nice to have the ability to downvote one's own comments here, like on Reddit.

We used to have that ability, but some people apparently disliked the feature so much it had to be removed.
