Manufacturers of wargaming miniatures and rules for using such. Critics describe their work as one-dimensional, overpriced, larger than scale, and decry their habit of invalidating entire ranges of miniatures by redrafting rulebooks every four years.

B:"Oh, yeah - All wool and a yard wide, with those legs!"

"As a hush descended on the dinner room at Hogwarts, just as Dumbledor rose to speak a sudden sharp trouser trumpet honked into the air. Ron Weasley looked as red as a beetroot; In fact, it was Hermione who in typical muggle fashion had done it, but was willing to pass it on to Ron."
