From when I first started reading the Harry Potter books, until a couple of months ago, if you had asked me if I would trade in my laptop and cell phone for a magic wand to go to Hogwarts, I would have immediately went
 , and proceeded to pack my trunk.However, recently, I began to think once again about what a big impact leaving EVERYTHING in my life behind would have. And what is more, I determined that if given the option to become a witch tomorrow in the world of Harry Potter, I would politely decline. So now I extend the question. Would you become a wizard? Some food for thought before you decide too rashly: 1. No electronics work in magical environments. This means no more Computer iPod CD player Cell phone Myspace Leaky Lounge other really awesome electronics which you are emotionally and mentally attached to 2. You wouldn't be allowed to tell ANYONE about your new secret. This includes family friends Harry Potter skeptics Leaky Loungers 3. You would have to leave your school, work, and/or residence behind, and thus leave all your muggle friends too 4. You would have to learn magic from scratch, regardless of your age. (Unless you are 10 or 11). This means attending Hogwarts may not be an option all those years at muggle college were for nothing etc... 5. The wizarding world is a very scary place. Just think of all the terrible things that can happen to you -- especially at Hogwarts -- regarding injury, torture, terror, and bad luck. I hope this topic doesn't already exist -- I searched a little, but I couldn't find anything. Happy posting
