When I read it I thought it was sort of clever the way it talked about the man's 'wand' and you had to work out from context whether it was his WAND wand or, you know, his bits.
Only now every time I hear a professor say 'stop fiddling with your wand during my lecture, just put it down!' I start to giggle.
The 'broomstick' parts are even worse -- there aren't as many of those in the book but you know right now with Quidditch starting up again the boys are talking about their broomsticks ALL THE TIME. My broomstick is faster and better than yours! Yeah, well, it's not all about the speed; it's about manoeuvrability, too. What can you DO with your broomstick? A good part of broomstick performance is the maintenance -- have you been polishing your broomstick?
I almost choked on my dinner last night while they were going on. Are you having this problem or is it just me?
