Hungarian Government Might Want Kids Not To Read Harry Potter
In the fifth installment of the popular Harry Potter books, Dolores Umbridge, the personification of government meddling in education, forbids professors in Hogwarts from disclosing anything beyond what is strictly pertinent to their lessons. One rebellious schoolkid, however, points out in Umbridge\'s class that she cannot reprimand him for misbehaving during the lesson, as it is irrelevant to the subject. He gets detention.
