Line 141:
** '''Technology at Hogwarts''' isn't permissible in any dose.
*** Things that work electronically, as below, ''do not work.'' Things that work ''mechanically,'' such as Harry's watch, do work.
*** Also, technology in Diagon Alley or the Ministry of Magic is usually fine, as both locations are right in the middle of London and yet there's no apparent disruption of service to all their Muggle neighbors. (And given that the Ministry in particular is directly underneath Whitehall, you'd think people would notice if all the electronics in the center of British government stopped working.)
** '''Hermione's name''' is Hermione. Unless you're Grawp or Viktor. There are absolutely no other exceptions. "Hermy" is an elf from ''[[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]''.
*** It's "Hermine" in Germany.
Line 149 ⟶ 150:
* In the presence of hardcore [[Lewis Carroll|Carrollians]], never refer to the Hatter as the Mad Hatter, or to the Jabberwock as the [[I Am Not Shazam|Jabberwocky]].
* [[P. G. Wodehouse|PG Wodehouse]]'s [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves]] is [[The Jeeves|a valet]], not a butler. Not that you can exactly be blamed for making the mistake, since it even occurs on book jackets.
