What's up with witches? According to some articles I've read, interest in the occult is on the rise. Witches hex individuals with whom they disagree. They gather to make potions. Groups of witches are called covens.
I may have missed it, but I cannot recall a single sentence, let alone any article that addresses wizards or warlocks in the same sense. Again, I may incorrect, but I cannot recall any wizards being burned at the stake, or drowned while secured a dunking stool in Salem, MA.
Where is Harry Potter when you need him?
