Tamper with the deepest mysteries â the source of life, the essence of self â only if prepared for consequences of the most extreme and dangerous kind.
And sure enough, in seeking to become super-human this foolhardy young man renders himself inhuman. The heart he has locked away slowly shrivels and grows hair, symbolising his own descent to beasthood. He is finally reduced to a violent animal who takes what he wants by force, and he dies in a futile attempt to regain what is now for ever beyond his reach â a human heart.
Though somewhat dated, the expression âto have a hairy heartâ has passed into everyday wizarding language to describe a cold or unfeeling witch or wizard. My maiden aunt, Honoria, always alleged that she called off her engagement to a wizard in the Improper Use of Magic Office because she discovered in time that âhe had a hairy heartâ. (It was rumoured, however, that she actually discovered him in the act of fondling some Horklumps,[11] which she found deeply shocking.) More recently, the self-help book The Hairy Heart: A Guide to Wizards Who Wonât Commi[12]t has topped bestseller lists.
