In the "get a life" department: the British White Witches complain that the Harry Potter Movie portrays broom riding incorrectly.
"Warner Bros claims
the film is an accurate portrayal of things that happen in
witchcraft, yet woodcuts from the 16th and 17th
centuries show broomsticks being ridden with the brush part in
the front," said Kevin Carlyon, who has his own coven in Sussex,
southern England.
"It's a common mistake -- even the sixties TV series 'Bewitched' showed broomsticks being ridden backwards, but this is not correct," he said.
