Ah yes, Halx makes a good point.
Everyone remember the rule (I've forgotten most, but this one somehow stuck) with a sentence like this:
"And us poor muggles are being put in a bad light," he added, using the name by which the book refers to non-magical people.
To know whether to use *us* or *we* in this sentence, in your mind, take out the *poor muggles* part.
Then which sentence sounds better?
*And we are being put in a bad light..., etc.*
OR
*And us are being put in a bad light...?*
And I think there also a problem (English whizzes jump in now, please) with the orginal sentence in that it is a sentence fragment.
