Got through an entire puzzle book waiting in various lines to purchase presents at Hogsmeade today but it's DONE!

Feel free to be entirely jealous.

I have 17 letters since your missive was printed and 4 of them were howlers. I haven't read the non-howler letters (since they are yours), but obviously can't say the same for the Howlers.

Interestingly, 3 of them were all about the use of the color pink and how that has ruined it for their girl children to have such a beloved color so 'politically charged', that they are afraid that their children will be accosted in the streets for a viewpoint they can't possible understand, etc.

The last one was what I can only summarise as a very angry math lesson in population dynamics. Muggleborn wizards do not make up a majority and the writer demands you show your work in making such a claim.

Hopefully the other 13 are more supportive. I can bring them over if you like?

	Did you know 'pink for girls, blue for boys' is a modern (1930s) and Western invention? And considering we're using a particularly violent shade of pink, I don't see how we're ruining anything. Well no, muggleborns aren't the majority, but muggleborns plus those with close muggle ties plus those who support us? That is a majority. Or maybe I'm actually an optimist. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am just the messenger, Justin - I'm not the person to argue with. I thought the pink was just for Muggleborns? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There is some disagreement about that, but I am of the opinion that it should be for those that listed above.

This movement, or whatever it is, can't exactly sustain itself it refuses the support of other prominent members of society that aren't 'pure' muggleborns. If Harry wants to wear pink I'm not going to stop him. Or Ron. Or you. Or anyone who fought at Hogwarts.

Like I'm really going to be upset if Shaklebolt decides to don pink.

	Then they should have thought about that before they started this little endeavor. We do, don't we? Helga help us all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have visited Hogsmeade already with Roger, my friend, and I bought many gifts also to send to my sisters and cousins at home. So I'm not jealous, but I'm happy you finished shopping. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yes, the Chaser. My teammates are very kind to me. I hope so. My youngest sister likes sweets, like me, and I chose almost one of everything in Honeydukes for her. I know she'll like that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is your favorite sweet? I also bought almost one of everything for me, I want to try them all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
