	The [[Harry Potter]] books by [[J.K. Rowling]] contain a number of mythical creatures, including werewolves. The magical world of her [[witch]]es and [[wizard]]s holds a distinctly pejorative view of werewolves: the condition is transmitted via a scratch or a bite, it is very unpleasant, and werewolves are seen as dangerous. The main werewolf character is a kind and gentle man who must take a special potion every month to alleviate his symptoms. He at first tries to keep his condition a secret, and is later rejected by most of magical society when they find out he is a werewolf. The werewolf condition, in this character's case, can be seen as a metaphor for [[AIDS]]. Another werewolf who appears in a later book as a villain is said to deliberately infect his victims with his condition.		The [[Harry Potter]] books by [[J.K.
