If you have (trustworthy) friends who are in the same position then why not work in each other's houses? That way you get a change of scene plus the benefit's of a nice work environment - assuming your friends don't live in shitty places. Or you all work in the one house for a while then rotate. Use a bit of imagination!
Am I in a minority of one here or does anyone else feel uncomfortable with the lack of Black and Minority Ethnic actors in the 3 movies? As the film is set in a fantasy universe, surely this gives the director and casting free-reign to, at the very least, ensure a representative mix of ethnicities amongst the actors.
The books themselves already have a disturbing Fascist resonance about them (pure, homogenous races battling the evil mongrel hordes etc. etc.) and it's a very great shame that the chance wasn't taken to give the stories a more enlightened slant.
I agree but found the "illiterate mob" episode extraordinary for another reason: and that was, let alone misunderstanding the word, these people thought a 'paedophile' would advertise his services on a brass plaque by the front door, in the yellow pages, etc, etc.!
Maybe they spotted his framed diploma in 'Paediatrics'... bet that *really* riled 'em.

escapist twaddle I say.
