More seriously, how about "As usual, the inn had drawn a decent --- and varied --- crowd.", and just get rid of the sentence that follows?
Adapted that.
The question is, who is this "one" who is less well informed than Aberforth? An average British wizard? An average Hog's Head patron? An average Ministry employee?
The generic average British wizard. Seriously, generic and abstract is OK in this context. It does not need to be specific, nor should it be.
That implies that the whole WB will be fighting against an external threat, but the threat is internal. I think "at war" instead of "fighting a war" would work better.
OK.
