Muggle (disambiguation)

A muggle is a person without magical abilities in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter fantasy books and films, and does not have any kind of Wizarding ancestry. A Muggle is, in other words, someone who is almost entirely oblivious to the Wizarding Community. The term was later adopted by various subcultures to identify those outside their group or lacking in a skill. Other uses include:

• • "Muggle", the term used by participants of Geocaching, an outdoor sporting activity, to refer to those who do not Geocache, particularly when they inadvertently or deliberately interfere with a cache.
• "Muggle", a person who is studying intensively - based on a Singapore colloquial term for intensive studying - derived from British colloquial term to mug up.
