Date: November 11th, 2017 2:51 PM Author: odious alcoholic ticket booth After 'Harry Potter' turns 20, author requests changes to future editions, including removal of "muggle"
Lisa France-Profile-Image
By Lisa Respers France, CNN
(CNN) Twenty years after first dominating the publishing market, the popular "Harry Potter" series is getting a makeover, at least in regards to how it views its language. Author J.K. Rowling, in collaboration with her agent and publishers, announced on Friday that future editions of her works will remove the word "muggle," used in the series to derisively reference "ordinary people" untrained in magic.
"It started to bother me," Rowling said in a statement posted to her Twitter account on Friday. "In this age of Trump and hate and open racism, I no longer liked thinking that the characters in my books spoke in slurs. I worried it would tell young readers that language that reduces people and dehumanizes them is a normal and acceptable way of speaking. It isn't."
Future editions of the Potter books will replace the word "muggle" with "non-magic person," which Rowling calls a "simple statement of fact" rather than "hate language that normalizes slurs."

|
Date: November 11th, 2017 8:40 PM Author: Crawly Parlor Muggles don't call themselves anything special because they are completely outside the magic world. To them, they are just "normal." They are almost entirely unaware of the existence of magic, other than the ones who have to deal with it directly (those with magic kids and the Prime Minister). Hermione, for example, despite having both muggle parents, is not a muggle because she has magical ability. |
