[Dumbledores Master]

magid (wizard who can do powerful magic without a wand, normally realises powers in teens) now who could that be. It may be Harry which would be the most obvious choice but as we all know JKR likes to surprise us so maybe its ron or maybe even neville it could be dumbledore bcse rmbr at the end of PS he clapped and the hangings changed.Anyway plz reply with your thoughts

WHAT IS A MUGWUMP?????????

[Jotomicron]

Please, don't use abbreviations... some, like myself, don't quite understand some of them. (rmbr???)


Anyway, never heard of that "magid" term. And I don't really know what Mugwump means...

[Dumbledores Master]

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I think a Mugwump is similar in nature to a borogove, or a mome rath. Rowling draws from different authors, and one of those authors is Lewis Carroll, I'm almost sure of it. In the P/SS chapter with Ollivander, he keeps saying "Curious... curious...", bringing to mind Alice's reaction to Wonderland and the Looking Glass land. She's obviously made up her own words (Muggle, before it appeared in P/SS, was a non-word). She has her own definitions of what her words mean, and I think Mugwump is one of them. But, while she'll share it if she's asked, she usually doesn't go into detail about what these words mean, and to drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what a Mugwump is is silly, since there's no definition of it outside of J.K. Rowling's head.

About the magid thing... never heard of it. It's highly possible there's not one.

i have never heard of a magid in my life

[Ferrus]

Magid??? where did you hear about that? Never heard of it before...

[Dumbledores Master]

I read it in a rumour *face turns into a tomato*

[Ferrus]

Could you specify where that rumour was?

[Dumbledores Master]

Its under Elemental Magic can`t remember the author though. Go to the 2nd and 3rd pages.

i haven't heard of it evil, although i get the point. i just think that powerful wizards find it easy to do magic without a wand, i don't think they then become known as a magid?!?!

[Nobby]

i haven't heard of it either, although i get the point. i just think that powerful wizards find it easy to do magic without a wand, i don't think they then become known as a magid?!?!
