I'm soooo envious! I would have loved to be there, but our luxury money this year went for a tenth-anniversary trip to Hyannis. So a hotel room in Salem wasn't really in the cards. Have fun!

Disability in HP?

(Link)
I've read the series; I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I'm surrounded by them. What in the world are four people going to say about "disability" in HP? Are you taking the muggle/magic divide as a form of ablism?

I'm in the wrong line of work, apparently.
