Re: Me too. And is a "hag" just an old witch, or something more specific? StormCrow Send a noteboard - 08/11/2010 01:54:59 PM
I've been wondering the same thing about warlock, for that matter. Occasionally terms like that are used, seemingly non-interchangeably with witch and wizard, but what do they mean?

Isn't a hag almost a separate species of some sort in this universe? I think they were referred to at some point, but I cannot remember what was said.


I got the impression (I don't know why) that hags and warlocks were some sort of in between class between squibs and witches/wizards. Maybe an uneducated variety of magical person. The reference I remember was that they lived out in the country somewhere, somewhat outside of the wizarding community, so maybe that's why I'm thinking that. I'm picturing Billy Bob out in a cave somewhere mixing up a random potion at this point. :D
