Jost comments on Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality discussion thread, February 2015, chapter 110

[Jost]

Here’s the quote from chapter 5, too:

»Aber was tut ein Zaubereiministerium?« — »Nun, seine Hauptaufgabe ist, vor den Muggels geheim zu halten, dass es landauf, landab immer noch Hexen und Zauberer gibt.«

rough back-translation:

“But what does a Ministry of Magic do?” — “Well, its main task is to keep the muggles from learning that there are still witches and wizards all over the country.”

Thanks again, that is all very clear, in either language. I have edited my wrong comment.
