Harry Potter and the Half-Wit Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Wit Prince

"I wish I could just wave a magic wand and lower the price at the pump,' Bush said. 'I'd do that.'"


He keeps using this line over and over again. Makes me wonder if the book (!) he was pictured with was an advance copy of Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, rather than Tom Wolfe's academia bodice-ripper (well, low-riding jeans un-zipper) I Am Charlotte Simmons.

A spell for reducing Muggle fuel prices would be relatively useless in a world of flying brooms, but I suspect the phrase might be reducto petroleum.
