Alexander quoted /Harry Potter/:

AK> What was the good of magicking himself out of his
AK> room if Hogwarts would expel him for doing it?

I think literary English requires "doing so" instead of
"doint it".

AK> Now that the Dursleys knew they weren't going to
AK> wake up as fruit bats, he had lost his only weapon.

I never read any of the Harry Potter books, but this
sentence seems to refer to a general sence of an
impeding or threatened punishment.
