My jaw dropped when I saw what the word actually was (Morfin's rather crude characterization of Voldemort's mother). I know that I will have to discuss the meaning of mature slang with my daughter at some point; however, it will not be at 8 years old, and certainly not as a result of a so-called children's book.

*re-reads salient passages again*

What the hell is she talking about? "Hankering after"? I'm not seeing the offensive adult slang she's talking about. Maybe I'm too corrupt to realize how wrong some words are?
