The problem is that the Turin Shroud is kept well and truly shrouded in the Duomo, the rather subdued Renaissance cathedral. Enclosed in a Hogwartian trunk behind a sheet of plate glass, bulletproofed in case anyone wanted to assassinate it, the shroud’s appearances are strictly controlled.
en w:Ray Kurzweil The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology Viking 2005 5 https://archive.org/details/singularityisnea00kurz/page/5/mode/1up 0-670-03384-7 With just the right sequence, we can get a computer to read a book out loud, understand human speech, anticipate (and prevent) a heart attack, or predict the movement of a stock-market holding. If an incantation is just slightly off mark, the magic is greatly weakened or does not work at all. One might object to this metaphor by pointing out that Hogwartian incantations are brief and therefore do not contain much information compared to, say, the code for a modern software program.

Scarletta Press 2008 98–99 https://archive.org/details/newwritershandbo0000unse/page/98/mode/2up 978-0-9798249-2-0 Consider the role of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. From the first volumes, Hogwarts played a tremendous role in the story, gathering the young protagonists—Harry Potter and his friends—into its curious and often-changing halls. It became the place where magic was learned and friendships formed. It stood for what must be saved: the ideals of the Hogwartian school, where magical powers were taught for the sake of good.
en Hugh Massengill UO = Hogwarts w:Eugene Weekly April 17–24 2008 5 https://archive.org/details/20080424EW/page/n4/mode/1up To me, the UO University of Oregon is Hogwarts, a secretive organization that pirates the best of the very poor, teaches them to value their new status much too highly and leaves the suffering to understand that they, of the inferior mundane class, simply don’t deserve housing, legal care, medical care, dental care or even a basic sense of belonging. Getting a Ph.D. in sociology or mathematics must be a fascinating exercise in Hogwartian mysticism, but what on earth does that do for the very poor, the despairing, those left on the other side of the town-gown wall?

Harry Potter would love it. Fifteen men a side hurtled by and into one another in seemingly total Hogwartian disarray, flailing long cáman paddle-sticks on which they carried—yes, carried—a small white leather ball (sliotar)—although in the truly wild days when the game first emerged I heard it was often a human skull.

K. Rowling’s skill lies in the way in which she makes this bygone world instantaneously modern to an age of children who live in an electronic multimedia world. For example, moving staircases, portraits of ancient Hogwartian dignitaries who talk and move, the Marauder’s Map and flying dragons are familiar features of computer virtual reality games.

It represents therefore a repetition of violence that is overcome by the process of law. The memory of this moment is in fact a menace to institutional order because it suggests its fragility and reminds Hogwartians of the ever-present possibility of transgression.
