* TheAlcoholic: Actually a lot of characters. A minor subplot deals with Ron addressing his alcoholism, Harry's also a borderline alcoholic, Mavis routinely comes to work hungover, and Mr. Painspiel, Harry's boss, apparently drinks scotch in the morning. A "pervasive culture of daytime drinking" thrives in the Ministry of Magic, which boasts numerous cheap in-house bars, and excessive alcohol consumption is considered totally normal.
