Favorite answer (by Jesse Ochoa):
“Perhaps the magical possession I would like to have is Harry Potter’s owl. I love animals, and Potter’s owl is extremely adorable; especialy compared to Ron’s pet (weasel? rat?) Not only would I have the opportunity to take care of such a pet, I have never seen that owl eat a thing. I mean, a pet that doesn’t eat…much less poop…is like a tamagotchi pet with fur. In addition, since Potter’s owl also sends mail for him across distant lands by handling Potter’s mail and flying, it could very well be the demise of text messaging and email as we know it. So on top of having a beautiful white owl that doesn’t eat, whine about wanting a cracker, and provides free unlimited messaging anywhere in the world; there is nothing more magical.”
Other favorites:
“I would like to be able to transform into different animals and items. It would be cool to turn into a peguin so I could just chill in the Sea World enclosure, because its just too hot right now.”
“My most desired magical possession would be a wand – which gives you near unlimited magical power. Mine would be stained purple and I would use it to get the kids to finally clean their room, or the laundry to fold itself and be placed in the proper drawers or closets. It would definitely be with me at work – so I could turn a complaining client into a donkey or a quacking duck! When I return home a flick of the wand would run me a nice, hot bubble bath to relax in and when I’m finished a delicious dinner would (magically) appear on the dinner table! And, if I’m lucky enough – my wand will bring me a ticket for two to the pre-screening of ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.'”
“First gotta have the NIMBUS 2000 to travel to work, avoid traffic, no gas worries, and its green friendly! Second, the MARAUDERS MAP so i’ll see my boss coming and stop surfing the web and get to work. Third, the INVISIBLE CLOAK so i can ease drop on good gossip at work. Fourth would be to use POLYJUICE POTION and change to the CEO of my company and tell my boss to promote me asap. Lastly i would have a huge stock pile of WEASLEY FIREWORKS cause they would rock for 4th of July and New Years!”
