How on Earth did I miss seeing that article about the Muggles, and the glossary of terms?! It's delightful! Thanks for posting, Joe!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Though I’m a PAPER (& online) WSJ subscriber, I never saw that article either. I joined just weeks after that date. Glad to have this article to shove at people who don’t get what a Muggle is even after I explain it. (Article doesn’t mention our zoom meetings… was that started after it came out?)
The other Wendy. :roll:
