MUGGLE NOVEL VS. WIZARDING NOVEL
Nineteenth century
- Muggle novel expanded to mainstream, replacing poetry
- Often political in nature
- Wizarding novel more emphasis on magic/metaphysics (Muggle poetry similar, esp. 17th cent.)
- Male-dominated authorship (both Mug. and Wiz.)
Essay: 2 rolls of parchment, due Wednesday next: To what extent is literature important in a society based on technical skills such as magic? Is there a difference in the role of literature in the Wizarding and Muggle worlds?
- thesis for Part II. - Muggle novels = escapism, not as necessary in world where we have access to magic?

Last night was incredible. - S.
Go away.
Twice, Mr. Lupin. Twice.
I can do better.
Slut.
Go away.
My slut.
You’re offending my notebook’s virgin ears.
Your notebook’s the only thing about you that remains even remotely virgin, Moony.
I should have left you tied up - you’re less trouble that way.
ß Rolls over and begs.
You’re bothering me.

- Late nineteenth-century - “gothic” novel, elements of horror and exploration of human nature, including “magic,” such as vampires and “science-fiction” creatures.
- Period of iconoclasm in wizarding world - novels regarded as frivolous and unrealistic, greater demand for technical skills and link of education directly to employability. “Fantasy” derided as old-fashioned - brief attempt to link Muggle and Wizarding sciences.

Did you get #5 in Potions?
Yes. The mandrakes were immature.
Sexy and brilliant.
Go AWAY.
No.
Go away.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
I’m going to recite poetry for you now.
I wish you wouldn’t.
One two three four five, once I caught a fish alive.
Six seven eight nine ten, then I let him go again.
James says that we’re kidnapping you tonight before you can lock yourself in the library. James wants to map the North tower and I want to have my way with you.
I’m trying to concentrate.
She’s talking about something called Frankinstein, which sounds like a horrible type of sugary drink.

- Fantasy extended as a genre throughout 20th century, including children’s literature.
- Wizard novels still considered to be for children, though the increase in Wizard-Muggle marriages has led to many wizards reading Muggle literature. What are the ramification of this on Wizarding culture? If there are ramifications, does this suggest the cultural importance of literature?
******
Sirius: Book on motorcycles?

I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I
Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then?
But sucked on _______ pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the seven sleepers den?
T'was so; But this, all pleasures ________ be.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desir'd, and got, t'was but a dream of thee.
- John Donne, pretty good Muggle poet.
** Learn more about Muggle religion - he seems to have been fairly keen on it. **

***WHOMP****
You again.
Of course. We’re discussing the modern Muggle novel. At great length. And I think Cornelia Finsbury just used the word “onomotapeia.” A lad’s got to stay awake.
I’ll keep you awake.
Oh Moony …
Ssshhh.
Do you have any idea what I want to do to you right now?
I could make an educated guess, based on past experience.
My gorgeous delicious sexy rumpled brilliant Moony …
James is staring at you.
Come out with us tonight - I’ll smuggle you in some food and you can work through dinner and then we can go Marauding …
… why do I keep letting myself get talked into this?
Hurrah!
I swear, if we end up dead or transfigured …
I wonder what your Animagus would be, if you had one.
My Patronus is a lion.
… I want to wrap myself in your arms and die there.
Oh God -
The first time I had you, I thought the world was going to end.
Sirius -
Scared out of my mind and unable to resist you - wondering if you’d think I was a total incompetent - whether all the pretense would be ripped away and I’d be exposed for the lovesick fool I was -
You were perfect.
Where do you want to go tonight?
Let’s go to the Astronomy tower. I’ll push you against the wall by the eastern window and trace the path of the moon on your skin.
You would make love to the moon now.
Translated by white shoulders and black hair. Yes.

In anima et sanguine.
