As I have mentioned before, the Dastardly Dursley’s of Harry Potter fame have done not a little damage to the street cred of the Ligustrum family.  Privet Drive is no longer as attractive an address a it once was and some muggles seem to think that privet is out of fashion. 

Well, not with wizards its not. Apart from being an outstanding wandmaking wood, Privet has a few other magical qualities of its own.  Young Jasper (aged 10) from next door stumbled across one of them when in the garden just before Christmas and just before the freeze.
