The word “Privet” appears quite early on in the Harry Potter books, and since it was used for the name of a street, I for one never learned exactly what it meant. I looked it up recently and am freshly impressed by Rowling’s delicious slyness:
priv·et
/ˈprivit/
noun
-
a shrub of the olive family, with small white heavily scented flowers and poisonous black berries.
It seems like that is a perfect name for a street for the Dirsleys to be living on.
My triple acrostic is “Saving Privet Dragon.” The odd net of the words to the poem are a silly attempt at that salvation. Sillier still was an earlier idea, which I’m sure has been done before, of dressing a dragon in a kimono for “Kimono Dragon.”
