This is nice.

When West Anchorage resident Janna Wilcox, 12, heard earlier this year that her unnamed home street would soon get an official designation, the wizarding world of Harry Potter immediately came to her mind.

“When we got the letter that the street was going to be renamed, I’m a huge Harry Potter nerd, so I was like, ‘What can I name this that’ll be like Harry Potter?’” Wilcox told Anchorage Assembly members at a Tuesday meeting. “And I thought, ‘Grimmauld Place.’”

It ended up being approved. (The policy, when there’s a tie, is to flip a coin.) Kudos to Wilcox for seeking the goodwill of her neighbors by making them brownies.

I’m surprised it was permitted, though. The library used to have big quote above its main doors, that read “When in doubt, go to the library” and attributed to “J. K. Rowling.” About a year ago, they repainted it to attribute it to “Ron Weasley, The Chamber of Secrets.” I asked staff people about it and they professed not to have noticed. (Possibly the painting was done by stealth at night.)
