I’ve written before about how I’d like to see a more activeMuggle role in the Harry Potter series (in great part motivated by the Percy Jackson series where humanity matters quite a bit.) I’ve decided to take matters into my own
hands, and write some slight changes that would make the series work better for
me. My first addition should be placed
at the end of the very first chapter of the sixth book, Harry Potter and theHalf-Blood Prince. The Minister of Magic
and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom have just met and frankly I don’t believe
the leader of a major country would simply roll over and accept the situation.
The Prime Minister slumped back in his chair. It had already been shaping up to be a trying day. There was a domestic
terrorism threat to monitor, some members of his party had to be pushed back
into line on the economic crisis, and there was a special operation in
Afghanistan awaiting his decision. Now
this, wizards running a muck and there was nothing he could do about it.
His intercom buzzed and the now familiar deep voice
announced, “The briefer from MI-5, a Mr. Geoffrey Grimace, is here. Shall I send him in?”
The Prime Minister’s jaw set and his eyes narrowed.
“Yes,” he replied, “Please send him in. Oh, and Shacklebolt, I’d like you to join us
as well.”
