M: Hey, mom?
me: Yes?
M: Jonah said that in Harry Potter 7, Harry Potter gets married.
me: Yes, that's true.
M: He didn't tell us who he marries, but he did give us a clue. He said Harry Potter marries someone from Gryffindor.
me: Yep.
M: So I was wondering, what if Moaning Myrtle was in Gryffindor?!
me: That would be interesting.
M: But I don't think Harry Potter is going to die and he would have to die to marry Moaning Myrtle, right?
me: I guess so...
M: I mean, all the books are called Harry Potter, so it's not like he can die. He's the best wizard in the whole school!
me: Even better than Dumbledore?
M: Well, Dumbledore didn't find the entrance to Chamber of Secrets or figure out it was a basilisk. And he can't speak Parseltongue.
me: All valid points.
M: So yes, Harry Potter is the very best wizard....and Mom?
me: Yes?
M: Harry Potter is fiction, right?
me: Yes.
M: But is it realistic fiction? Because Harry Potter starts out like a normal kid before he finds out he has magic!
me: We can always hope.
(Which made me think of the time Jonah tried to convince me that magic is real but we're just Muggles so we don't know it, which isn't a bad bit of logic, really.)
