Many thanks for the tips and clues. I managed to figure out the answer they were looking for from the cross answers. Normally I run out of steam on the Times crosswords by Wednesday but, well, I have had more time to let the clues percolate recently.

Still, I think RINGER was the correct answer, no matter how many squares are available. There is so much that Buggles have yet to learn. (If non-Magic are Muggles, then are non Bellringers Buggles??)

(Although, arguing from myself, the clue would have to be “would like to be skilled at dodging” to really work :-)
