Time for bonus mugglecast. And I was browsing the Harry Potter subreddit the other day.

And the following topic came up in that

subreddit. So I thought we should talk about it too. Would you date a witch or wizard if you're a

muggle? So here's a scenario. You're on Tinder. Someone attractive comes up. You've heard rumors

about the magical wizarding community, and you suspect this person

might be a witcher wizard themselves. There's clues like they say in their profile, they have no student

loan debt. They wear funny clothing. It's just noticeably unordinary. We have an owl for a pet.

And they talk about herbs and ancient languages in their bio.

It's just a very unique person you see.

So you both swipe right on each other.

You get talking.
