But it has nothing to do with a Harry Potter storyline. It's a KKK term. They knew that when they chose it - as a 'joke', I'm sure. You might as well argue that the BBC shouldn't report murders, because they're upsetting.

The term was "Grand Wassicks" a Durham term for stupid men. It changed to "Grand Wizards" due to auto spell check.
