No, but it is still related to Harry Potter. As suggested yesterday I've expanded the theme.

Selfish nut provides bad service. (4, 4) Apologies for the delay, my allergies have been acting up. Perhaps the clue is still too difficult... Should I edit to make the solution easier? Alright so here's another clue. United measures wine, divided is a pub. (4, 4) Hog's Head.
The object of a CCC is to make it a bit challenging, but always solvable - if good cryptic solvers ( there are a few on here ) can't solve your clue it's very likely to be because it's poorly written. :)

They keep ringing me: "This is Talk Talk Customer service. We have detected a problem with your internet. Please hold to fix it." In a robotic Indian accent. For some strange reason, that's when I put the phone down and use "14258**"

Hog's Head is a pub in Hogsmeade the only all wizard village in Britain. It is known for its disreputable clientele.

I said Harry Potter is big enough in pop culture to be a WSO CCC OTD theme, but I think the CCC's answer needs to be something well known enough such that the CCC would still stand on it's own if there were no theme.

In the first year that is where Hagrid found the Dragon, later to be named Norbert, Harry, Hermoine and Ron among some other students met in their 5th year to form a secret club, the owner of the bar also provided refuge to the trio in Deathly Hallows. These are all instances from the movies, in the books it is mentioned a lot more. Having said all that, anyone wanna take over for tomorrow's? It seems I'm not coming up with usual suspects.
