The trolley lady seemed like a welcoming witch whose duty was to serve the students that used the Hogwarts Express. She always appeared to be incredibly happy with her job and just an average employee. It's strange then that The Cursed Child brought into the canon that she was actually an immortal creature of sorts that acted as a defense mechanism...

So when the real-life Brexit referendum swept the U.K., one fan's observation of how Uncle Vernon...

Rowling has made it clear in multiple interviews how fortunate she was for the British welfare system when writing the books.
