Yeah. I dislike this change. “Dark” makes sense for Quirrell to say for purposes of not sounding too evil, for not sounding like he’s encouraging being dangerous. But at that point in the story, it was pretty clear Quirrell thought it was a good thing to be dangerous, and saying “adult” wizard is more consistent with that. It’s also more consistent with his decision to call “Defense Against the Dark Arts” “Battle Magic.”
