I do agree. Unfortunately, I think looking at them that way is impossible for any reasonable analysis. As such, I tend to take the cartoonish more seriously than it's intended. But really, if we're going to take Hermione being turned into a statue seriously (as we clearly do), then we have to take seriously Draco being turned into a ferret or Dudley being given a 10-foot tongue. (Of course, the easy answer is not to analyze, but we all obviously gave *that* up long ago.)
