Since I am already running 20 Questions, I was hoping someone else would solve the puzzle. However, it appears no one is going to do it, so I will.

Never notice nuffink, they don't.

The speaker is Stan Shunpike, the Knight Bus driver. I believe he is speaking to Harry in PoA, about how Muggles don't seem to notice a lot of the magical things around them ... like how the Knight Bus and Ministry cars manage to jump ahead of them in traffic or squeeze in between the lanes while going the wrong way. Of course, now that we have finished the series, we know about a lot of spells that keep Muggles from finding out about such things ... or remembering them if they did notice them.

Thanks, Solitaire. It looks like the most frequented thread in this Harry Potter forum is now just the 'Chat' thread. Who knows how long the 'Games' threads will last? Potty Games - Hangman Only, (Vol. III) - Page 36 3276373137

You have the quote, exactly. Since I found this quote on the Lexicon, in the heading of the 'Muggles' section, but with no notation about where it could be found, I will trust that it can be found exactly where you say. Potty Games - Hangman Only, (Vol. III) - Page 36 2222139670

I like the games threads ... especially Hangman and 20 Questions ... although sometimes it's not easy to come up with a new idea for 20 Questions. I had to delve into the books last night to find something interesting. I'm hoping some of the "usual suspects" get back into the games now that summer holidays are over and kids are back in school. I think some of the regulars on the 20 Questions and Hangman threads have been traveling, moving, getting back into the swing of the school year, etc., all of which take a bite out of one's time and energy. Perhaps things will pick up. Smile

Maybe, Solitaire. But I don't remember it being this quiet in Septembers past. We've lost a few regulars in the move from WX to forumotion, for one thing, and with each passing year post-DH, I think fewer and fewer regular posters/past members will check in here. But, of course, I'd love to be proved wrong! Potty Games - Hangman Only, (Vol. III) - Page 36 2222139670

So, how 'bout some Es? Potty Games - Hangman Only, (Vol. III) - Page 36 2752390508

I think most of those on the chat thread will probably stick fairly close. I visit a teacher site, and even though I left for about 6 years (due to annoying and ridiculous behavior by some), I still see several posters who were around long before I found the site. Sadly, some of my favorites on that site have "shuffled off this mortal coil." Sad

They are sorely missed, much as we miss Timrew here on HP.

On that note, I think it's time I folded for the night. I didn't sleep much last night, due to coughing. I can sleep in my recliner if I must ... but I am never as rested. Still, it may be necessary until I kick this cold. Bonsoir!

The perfect reply to a JA fan. LOL Hmmm ... now that I think about it, here I always thought Mary just wanted to hog the spotlight, so to speak. Maybe she knew that no one else was going to play! LOL Wink

Here are a few strategic Ls.
