Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!



1: The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3: There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4: Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5: Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6: His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7: The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8: The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9: The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11: Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12: Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13: Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

What's Going On Here?

I thought I'd provided a general update regarding this blog and some items of interest.

The general answer to the question posed in the title is "not a whole lot". The real brains of this outfit has always been Merlin, and he is currently working like a dog on his doctorate up at Fordham U in the Bronx. Although he hasn't blogged here in quite some time, he can sometimes be found over at John Granger's blog commenting under his "secret identity", Brett.

Cubeland Mystic likewise has decided to close up shop as far as blogging goes to concentrate more time and energy on his fiction writing. He has two books in the works and we wish him the greatest success.

I have been blogging over here lately my relatively new, "kitchen sink-style" blog I named Contra Pauli for lack of any other name. The name is part tribute to the now defunct political parody blog I was part of for a time, The Contra Crunchy Conservative, and partly a shtick where I demand my readers offer heated criticism of anything with which they disagree. The content of Contra Pauli tends toward religion and society in general, but we get into film and music quite a bit as well with a touch of politics and all sprinkled liberally with my acerbic sense of humor. If you don't mind a few inside jokes, come on over and take a gander.

As far as HP blog news, I see John Granger has a new post on the (rather unnecessary) proof that Rowling did intend Harry Potter to be an alchemical work. I'm sure the quote from Rowling herself will not satisfy those resembling Flat-earth Society members or the moon-landing deniers.

Travis Prinzi continues his PubCast series which I highly recommend. He's currently on his 18th installment. He mentioned Dan Radcliffe's question to Rowling ("Isn't he [Dumbledore] dead?") and speculation stemming from the response last month. Sword of Gryffindor remains the first place I go to check on any Harry Potter news.

I won't be formally shutting down Muggle Matters by any means. We'll leave it open indefinitely and as always, I welcome all readers' comments.
