	Muggle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Muggle is a term from the fictional Harry Potter series of books that refers to a human who is a member of the non-magical community.
		Rowling said she created the word "muggle" from "mug", an English term for someone who is easily fooled.
		The word "muggle" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2003, where it is said to refer to a person who is lacking a skill.

	Magic (Harry Potter) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The wizarding society exists as a shadow society to the Muggle world and works as hard as it can to keep its existence a secret, save for all but a few Muggles, such as those who are related to witches and wizards, or important Muggles such as the Prime Minister.
		Muggle Studies at Hogwarts is considered a soft option.
		The Muggle Prime Minister is first alerted to the existence of the magical 'underworld' on the evening after his election, when the Minister of Magic uses the Floo network to appear in his (or her) fireplace.

	HPL: The Muggle World
		Muggles, as non-magical folk are called by wizards, are "not as stupid as we think," or so a report recently published in the Daily Prophet proclaimed (DP).
		Many witches and wizards find this concept hard to accept; Muggles are for the most part oblivious to the entire society of magical people which exists alongside their own.
		Part of the reason for this is that Muggles simply don't believe that magic exists, which means they find non-magical reasons for the things that happen to them [1].

		Wizards have had some bad experiences with muggle hospitals too; after the attack from Sirius Black, an escaped murderer of Azkaban, a wizard was hauled off to a muggle hospital where he nearly died in the doctor’s surgery.
		The muggle born student states, “I’ve been to the doctor loads of times, they're not dangerous…though the man in the room next to me died suddenly while I was there.
		Muggles have huge collections of stores that carry almost nothing but clothes, as well as overpriced food and cheaply made time pieces, so that might be a good place to start looking for your costume.

	HPL: Essays - Magical Theory: When Magic Meets Muggle Technology
		One of the first things that Harry learns in his new world is that much of the Muggle technology he grew up with is not to be found.
		Muggle technology seems to fall into three broad groups: those that don't work in the wizarding world; those that could work, but the wizards have their own devices; and those that fit comfortably in both worlds.
		Whatever the reasons for the lack of Muggle technology in the wizarding world, one thing is certain.

		Muggles, astoundingly resourceful and creative, created the Internet as a medium across which muggles from all over the world can come together and share information on "webpages".
		For precisely this purpose, we at Hogwarts are fortunate enough to have had one computer installed in the Muggle Studies classroom, three in each house's common room, and four in the library.
		Instant messenging is much like the muggle telephone (which we learned about in detail last year and which I sincerely hope you remember), only using written, rather than spoken words.

		Muggle noted that he approached the iguana with caution, using heavy gloves and a snare pole.
		Muggle said he is repeating that warning to everyone who might get near the iguana cage.

	Pureblood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Pureblood wizards are wizards that have no muggles whatsoever in their genealogical pedigree.
		One type believes that marriage to Muggles is acceptable and often necessary, and remain pureblood only because the people they happened to meet and fell in love with were magical (such as the Weasley family).
		The other type believes that intermarriage with muggles is disgraceful and even immoral (such as the Malfoy family).

	This Just In \| WORD PROCESSING (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		While the OED already listed several pre-existing definitions for " muggle " — a 12th-century Kentish word for a tail (apparently on a fish or a man); a 16th-century term for a female sweetheart; and a 1930s word for a marijuana cigarette — the new definition comes from the Harry Potter books.
		In many ways " Muggle " is a synonym for " Babbitt " — " a member of the American middle class whose attachment to its business and social ideals is such as to make that person a model of narrow-mindedness and self-satisfaction " — which, of course, came from Sinclair Lewis’s 1922 novel Babbitt.
		But even this is not quite exact, for Muggles are worse than simply narrow-minded and self-satisfied: they are supremely mundane, wedded to their normalcy with a ferociousness that makes them, well, impaired and even non-life-affirming.

		Muggles are unfailingly literal, deaf to metaphor, blind to the central reality of what Chesterton calls "the poetical side of man" -- that behind the ordinary facade of atoms and death lurks an enchanted world indeed.
		The literal-minded critic has no choice but to defend Muggles, since to do otherwise would be to raise the possibility of a world beyond the reliable borders of a strictly literal interpretation of human existence.
		The taste for something more than the Muggle world has to offer is habit-forming, and booksellers are reporting that the amazing success of the Potter books has boosted sales of the Narnia tales as well as the Lord of the Rings.

	muggle - definition by dict.die.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Not as disparaging as luser; implies vague pity rather than contempt.
		In the universe of Rowling's enormously (and deservedly) popular children's series, muggles and wizards inhabit the same modern world, but each group is ignorant of the commonplaces of the others' existence - most muggles are unaware that wizards exist, and wizards (used to magical ways of doing everything) are perplexed and fascinated by muggle artifacts.
		In retrospect it seems completely inevitable that hackers would adopt this metaphor, and in hacker usage it readily forms compounds such as `muggle-friendly'.
