You’re not going to be able to type for a few minutes while we make some announcements, please bear with us, you’ll be able to type again soon. [18:15] <Theoriser> There may be times during the chat when a moderator will want to PM something to you. Please keep an eye on the top of your screen, right next to the button with #Lounge on it. A button will appear with one of the mods' names on it. If you see that appear, click on it to see the PM that has been sent to you by that mod [18:15] <Theoriser> You won’t be able to reply to that PM, but if you could just say something like “Meg got it” in the main chat, to let us know that you have seen it, that will be great. We'd also like to remind you that the rules of the Lounge also apply here in the Corner Booth, and may be found here: http://www.leakylounge.com/?act=rules [18:15] <Theoriser> If you need to contact us during the chat, send one, or all, of us a PM on the Lounge. We will be checking them regularly, but if we haven't replied after a little while then please let us know here that you have sent a PM. Thanks for your cooperation! [18:15] *** vera has joined #lounge [18:15] <Theoriser> While its easy to drift off in various directions, let's all try to have a fun chat by sticking to the topic for today. OK, moving on to the topic for the chat! [18:15] <Expelliarmas> For those that scored "Dreadful" on the WOMBAT exams, Jo recommended a "little further study of the textbooks (Harry Potters 1-6)." (If you scored as a “Troll,” well ... according to Jo, you were either protesting the exam or trying to eat the paper). We are pleased that Leaky Lounge's Reading Groups are making that study a whole lot easier. [18:16] <Expelliarmas> Some people are guessing that when we get the results for WOMBAT 3, we'll have the title of Book 7. Hopefully that's true, and hopefully by the time the Reading Groups are done studying Half-Blood Prince we'll have Book 7 in our hands. We can dream, right? [18:16] <Expelliarmas> Special thanks to Steve, Bel, and Lisa from The Harry Potter Lexicon. We used their WOMBAT pages for information and even some of their own questions to each other to inspire the questions for this chat. We take full responsibility, however, for the goofier comments. [18:16] <Expelliarmas> We’ll first cover some general thoughts about the WOMBATs, then we'll dig into the exam questions themselves, what you answered, and what the answers might mean. [18:16] <Expelliarmas> Did you score better on Grade 1 or Grade 2? Why do you think that was? Which one did you think was easier as you were taking it? [18:16] *** yellowpepper2311 has joined #lounge [18:16] <futureweasley> I scored MUCH better on 1 than 2!! [18:16] <Gryffinclaw> Woops erm didn't take the first one [18:16] <yellowpepper2311> Hey folks! *waves* [18:16] <Theoriser> I scored the same on each [18:16] <Sofie> i got an A for the 2nd. i missed the 1st though [18:17] <futureweasley> hi yellowpepper [18:17] <Theoriser> hiya yellowpepper [18:17] <fawkes28> i missed the first one so i don't know [18:17] <Expelliarmas> I thought I'd be a paper eater for both, so was happy with what I got on both exams [18:17] <yellowpepper2311> so which one was more difficult? 1 or 2? [18:17] <futureweasley> I think that the second test was much more "subjective" than the first [18:17] <Whisperwing> I got an O in grade 2 [18:17] <fawkes28> congrats [18:17] <harryfreak359> I got the same [18:17] <Sofie> it wasnt trivia at all [18:17] *** Sofie has quit [Bye] [18:17] <Whisperwing> only an A on grade 1 [18:17] <Expelliarmas> I thought WOMBAT 1 was easier than WOM2 [18:17] *** Aislinn has joined #lounge [18:18] <Whisperwing> I uesss I do better in subjective testing [18:18] *** Sofie has joined #lounge [18:18] <Whisperwing> guess [18:18] <yellowpepper2311> got an EE on the first one, A at the second one ... starnge [18:18] <vera> I got an E in 2 and A in 1. I though the second was easier than the first [18:18] <Sofie> darn pigs... [18:18] <yellowpepper2311> *strange [18:18] <Whisperwing> cat on arms = mass typoing [18:18] <fawkes28> wb, aislinn [18:18] <Theoriser> I got an EE in both, but I think the second was harder than the first [18:18] <mollywobbles23> I got an EE in Grade 1 and an O in Grade 2 [18:18] <Aislinn> thanks - stupid computer! [18:18] <yellowpepper2311> yeah me too hannah [18:18] <Gryffinclaw> EE on the 2nd [18:18] <Expelliarmas> I got Es on both, so was happy I didn't end up getting a "T" [18:19] <fawkes28> EE on the second as well [18:19] <Sofie> i have read the lexicon's answers for the 2nd and OMG... [18:19] <yellowpepper2311> I'd love to get a T ... just for fun of course [18:19] <Sofie> those goys know their potter [18:19] <futureweasley> I got an "O" on the first...we aren't discussing what I got on the second... [18:19] <futureweasley> lol [18:19] <Sofie> *guys [18:19] <vera> I was so excited to do the test I didn't read the questions right, i had to retake it [18:19] <Aislinn> I did better on the second than the first - EE on the 1st and O on the second - Woot! [18:19] * Expelliarmas is too Hermione to be happy with a T [18:20] <yellowpepper2311> lol [18:20] <harryfreak359> I got an "A" on both... [18:20] * Expelliarmas or an E for that matter [18:20] <Sofie> i havent even thought about retaking.. [18:20] * harryfreak359 is very ashamed of that [18:20] <Gryffinclaw> No that would be cheating [18:20] <Expelliarmas> How do the two exams differ? [18:20] * fawkes28 hugs hf [18:20] <Theoriser> I took the second one 3 times, just to see what choosing different answers would get me! [18:20] <vera> I usually retake them. Why cheating? Noone gives me the answers. I just reread them [18:20] <Gryffinclaw> LOL [18:20] <Sofie> i did it in 10minutes though [18:21] <harryfreak359> I thought the second one was more fun [18:21] <yellowpepper2311> harryfreak same over her. did it twice the first one in english the other one in german (mother tongue) I still sucked laugh [18:21] <futureweasley> some people aren't great test takers...their practical use of their knowledge is much better suited to them! [18:21] <Gryffinclaw> You don't get a chance to retake your schooling exams do you [18:21] <Whisperwing> I only took them once each time [18:21] <Sofie> why doesnt Jo have a Hungarian page i wonder... [18:21] <Theoriser> well I think that the first was more about actual knowledge about the creatures and things, this one was a lot of guesswork [18:21] *** Ravendor has joined #lounge [18:21] <harryfreak359> I love tests, so I had a lot of fun anyways...and I did it all in like 10 min [18:21] <Whisperwing> I've always been quite good on tests [18:21] <fawkes28> me too [18:21] <mollywobbles23> me too [18:21] <Aislinn> I agree, theoriser - the first was more facts [18:22] <Whisperwing> Yes it certainly took me a lot less than the 25 I was advised it would at the beginning [18:22] <vera> Yeah but i care about the WOMBATS more than I cared for them ones at school [18:22] * yellowpepper2311 loves facts [18:22] <futureweasley> I am not a great test taker...I second and third guess myself [18:22] <Gryffinclaw> I can't do practical .. unless it's in Sport so I prefer tests [18:22] <Aislinn> the second one was more practical application of wizarding knowledge [18:22] <Sofie> i usually love guesswork but this test was too hard... [18:22] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [18:22] <vera> It was hard, yeah [18:22] <Sofie> even the Lexicon guys didnt know the right answers [18:22] <yellowpepper2311> I missed the multiple choice [18:23] <Gryffinclaw> I think it was guesswork because JKR was trying to test us like DD tested himself in HBp "We are now entering the realms of guesswork" [18:23] <vera> I didn't even see the scroll bar [18:23] <Aislinn> I really felt you had to have an understanding of Jo's wizarding world, not just an encyclopedic knowledge of the trivia from the books [18:23] <fawkes28> true, gryff [18:23] <Sofie> it was more like a personality test...especially with the "Muggles are...." questions [18:23] <Aislinn> You couldn't look up the answers to this one [18:23] <harryfreak359> me too Aislinn [18:23] <Theoriser> Whisperwing, it took me a lot less time than 25 mins too [18:23] <vera> Yeah, you didn't know what was expected [18:24] <Gryffinclaw> You could on the first q because it's canon that Hags eat small children [18:24] <futureweasley> that's right...you either got it or you didn't. I, evidently, don't get it [18:24] <yellowpepper2311> I had a total blachout and ran out of time [18:24] <futureweasley> (laugh) [18:24] <yellowpepper2311> *blackout [18:24] <Aislinn> well, the first one, true [18:24] <Sofie> i didnt it in about 10minutes [18:24] <Sofie> i was so excited lol [18:24] <Aislinn> The Grade 1 exam covered magical law, magical transportation, and everyday magic, herbology, and beasts. Grade 2 covered magical beings, current affairs, magical objects, and Muggle studies. What do you hope will be covered on Grade 3? [18:24] <yellowpepper2311> hmm [18:24] <Sofie> no idea [18:24] <Gryffinclaw> Potions [18:25] <mollywobbles23> defense? [18:25] <yellowpepper2311> spells [18:25] <Sofie> please dont let it be history [18:25] <Gryffinclaw> yeah definately molly [18:25] <Theoriser> I hope something easy! [18:25] <Aislinn> I agree that she may get into the use of spells and potions more [18:25] <vera> I know nothing of History [18:25] <futureweasley> knowledge of "the boy who lived" [18:25] <fawkes28> i think the last one will be the best...save the best for last [18:25] <Aislinn> LOL theoriser! [18:25] <Sofie> hehe, me too [18:25] <harryfreak359> yeah me too [18:25] <Theoriser> but it may be something like ministry stuff [18:25] <Aislinn> I doubt it'll be easier [18:25] <Sofie> pottercast trivia? [18:25] <mollywobbles23> yeah, if it's history, we're all doomed because Harry never pays attention [18:25] <mollywobbles23> lol [18:25] <yellowpepper2311> lol [18:25] <Ravendor> lol [18:25] <futureweasley> Hogwarts, A History [18:25] <harryfreak359> lol [18:26] <harryfreak359> No!...I'd fail that one [18:26] <Ravendor> yeah, me too [18:26] <Aislinn> I wonder if the Founders will be asked about [18:26] <futureweasley> I'm hoping they are! [18:26] <yellowpepper2311> naaaah [18:26] <Gryffinclaw> maybe [18:26] <mollywobbles23> me too [18:26] <harryfreak359> I want it to be books 1-6 trivia...so I'd get an "O" [18:26] <Sofie> maybe [18:26] <harryfreak359> lol [18:26] <fawkes28> maybe it will be only about the past since that is important to the future [18:26] <mollywobbles23> Even if we don't know the answers, the choices would be very interesting to ponder [18:26] <harryfreak359> yeah [18:26] <futureweasley> maybe it will be a knowledge of Dark Arts [18:26] <vera> i don't think it'll be trivia. it's not like JK [18:26] <Sofie> yep, about the Founders and the Marauders [18:27] <Gryffinclaw> Famous Witches and Wizards from the past [18:27] <Aislinn> I don't think so either vera [18:27] <harryfreak359> ooh interesting Future... [18:27] <mollywobbles23> wizard and witch of the month [18:27] <Aislinn> she wants us to think about it, not just spit back memorized stuff [18:27] <Sofie> or history of HogwartS' DADA teachers [18:27] <futureweasley> the examiner won't ask about the Maraurders, as it's a "practical" test [18:27] <vera> i really don't remember the names of the wizards [18:27] <futureweasley> we've not been asked about Harry or Ron or Hermione, as it's supposed to be answerable by even those who don't "know" the Trio [18:28] <mollywobbles23> "the examiner"...hehe [18:28] <fawkes28> maybe it will be even more subjective having to do with choices [18:28] <Sofie> maybe [18:28] <futureweasley> I think so fawkes... [18:28] <mollywobbles23> strategy questions? [18:28] <Aislinn> Did anyone think to write down their answers so they could compare them against what others got - especially those who received an "Outstanding" on their exam? [18:28] *** HPotterExpert2 has joined #lounge [18:28] <yellowpepper2311> nope [18:28] <harryfreak359> no, sadly not [18:28] <HPotterExpert2> Hello all [18:28] <vera> no [18:28] <Sofie> nope [18:28] <Ravendor> I wish I had, but I didn't [18:28] <fawkes28> no but i will next time smile [18:28] <yellowpepper2311> as I said, I had a blackout [18:28] * Aislinn did [18:28] <mollywobbles23> I went back and looked on the lexicon and tried to remember what I answered. [18:28] <Theoriser> hi hpexpert [18:28] <yellowpepper2311> lol [18:28] <futureweasley> hi HPotterExpert2 [18:29] <harryfreak359> good for you Aislinn [18:29] <Expelliarmas> Heavens, no!

[18:29] <Theoriser> yes [18:29] <Aislinn> I want to compare mine to theirs, as I know I didn't get them all right [18:29] <harryfreak359> I probably remember all of my answers anyways...I just got to remember the questions [18:29] <Theoriser> and the interesting thing was that another person had too, and a lot of their answers were different [18:29] <Whisperwing> Wow there's a lot of polls in that RAB thread. [18:29] <Aislinn> expie! would Hermione cheat? [18:29] <Ravendor> same here ,hf [18:29] <Theoriser> but they still both got Os [18:29] <HPotterExpert2> By the time I finished searching, the test stopped [18:30] <vera> I remember mine too [18:30] <HPotterExpert2> but then I took it againa dnwent by my own head...O_o [18:30] <Whisperwing> Every time Hermione 'helps' ROn or Harry or Neville, that's pretty much hceating, isn't it? [18:30] <harryfreak359> I rushed through it too quickly [18:30] <Aislinn> do you remember which thread? [18:30] <HPotterExpert2> with* [18:30] <mollywobbles23> I posted mine too...I'm trying to find those posts now [18:30] <Expelliarmas> is she cheating, or is she tutoring them? [18:31] <Sofie> its not cheating...its helping your friends [18:31] <Aislinn> she discourages out and out copying of homework, and won't let them cheat on tests [18:31] <harryfreak359> hahah depends on how you define cheating [18:31] <fawkes28> helping i'd say [18:31] <Ravendor> a bit of both [18:31] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [18:31] <mollywobbles23> found mine (I got an O), though this was me trying to remember what I answered, so some may be off: 1B 2A 3E 4A 5C 6E 7B 8B 9B 10C 11C 12A 13IOB 14D 15E 16B 17A 18B [18:31] <futureweasley> a little more that "helping" [18:31] <Sofie> its what you have friends for. they help you [18:31] <vera> what's wrong with a little tiny cheating? [18:31] <Aislinn> Let’s begin with Part 1 –Magical Beings. The first question asked which of the following statements was true: hags eat kids; inferi can’t speak; goblins fear sunlight; no female centaurs; and vampire bites are curable. What did you chose and why? [18:32] <futureweasley> tiny cheating and big cheating are the same sin, essentially [18:32] <HPotterExpert2> I think it's inferia can't speak [18:32] <harryfreak359> I said Inferi can't speak [18:32] <Aislinn> yes, FW, just a matter of degree [18:32] <Sofie> inferi cant spoeak [18:32] <yellowpepper2311> yeah me too HPF [18:32] <Ravendor> I said Inferi can't speak [18:32] <Theoriser> I can't even remember what I chose, but it was between A and B [18:32] *** Gryffinclaw has quit [Bye] [18:32] <mollywobbles23> 1A 2E 3E 4D 5C 6E 7C 8B 9B 10C 11C 12B 13BNI 14D 15C 16C 17A 18D [18:32] <vera> wow [18:32] <mollywobbles23> 1A 2E 3E 4D 5C 6E 7C 8B 9B 10C 11C 12B 13BNI 14D 15C 16C 17A 18D [18:32] <mollywobbles23> Quibbler's answers were: oops [18:32] <Aislinn> molly?

[18:33] <yellowpepper2311> but last night I reead Fantastic beast and where to find them and hags eat children, so ... [18:33] <futureweasley> I put that goblins fear sunlight [18:33] <mollywobbles23> I did too whisperwing [18:33] <Aislinn> as gryff told us, this is one of the ones that you could find an answer for [18:33] <vera> Do they? [18:33] <Aislinn> it is said somewhere(bestiary maybe) that hags eat children [18:33] <Sofie> there is no was inferis can speak. that'd be way to scary [18:33] <yellowpepper2311> yeah they do [18:33] <fawkes28> woo hoo [18:33] <Sofie> *way [18:33] <harryfreak359> ahhh...

What did you choose and why? What did you eliminate and why? [18:43] <harryfreak359> "hey, Jo, it is just all of us at the Corner Booth...we are talking about the WOMBATs and wanted to ask you a few questions..." [18:43] <Sofie> inferi i put [18:43] <yellowpepper2311> dementors [18:43] <Whisperwing> Werewolves, because they've made legislation against them [18:43] <mollywobbles23> I answered werewolves [18:43] <futureweasley> I thought the answer was Dementors [18:43] <harryfreak359> dementors [18:44] <HPotterExpert2> dementors [18:44] <fawkes28> i think i put dementors [18:44] <vera> Inferi because Dementors worked for the Ministry [18:44] <yellowpepper2311> aren't they categorized as XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX [18:44] <yellowpepper2311> ? [18:44] <Gryffinclaw> Inferi it was that or dementors but MoM wouldn't admit there wrong about Dementors [18:44] <Whisperwing> Oh but they were employing Dementors [18:44] <Ravendor> dementors [18:44] <futureweasley> now that the MoM has no control over them [18:44] <Sofie> but dementors were working for th ministry for years [18:44] <Ravendor> I think that's what I put [18:44] <vera> so they were not considered dangwerous enough [18:44] <mollywobbles23> They use Dementors as prison guards and discriminate against werewolves, even ones like Lupin [18:44] <futureweasley> they were, but aren't anymore [18:44] <Whisperwing> The question was who the MINISTRY thought was most dangerous [18:44] *** grangermeyerson has joined #lounge [18:44] <futureweasley> hi granger [18:44] <sajeesh> vamires, b'coz or tht leader werewolf thingy [18:44] <HPotterExpert2> I have to leave soon, I'm in my music school now [18:44] <vera> I think they think Inferi were like really frightening [18:44] <HPotterExpert2> hello granger [18:44] *** knightbuspassenger has joined #lounge [18:45] <Gryffinclaw> And on that help sheet at the beginning of HBP inferi were mentioned [18:45] <Theoriser> yeah, that's why I thought it couldn't be dementors [18:45] <yellowpepper2311> can one kill dementors? [18:45] <harryfreak359> dementors suck out your soul...that worse than killing you [18:45] <futureweasley> I don't think so [18:45] <HPotterExpert2> I don't think so [18:45] <Gryffinclaw> yes I think so becaus ethey breed [18:45] <vera> no I don't think so [18:45] <Whisperwing> There was never any mention of legislation against Inferi, or vampires or Dementors. [18:45] <Sofie> i dont think so [18:45] <HPotterExpert2> lol future [18:45] <HPotterExpert2> great minds think alike [18:45] <fawkes28> do we definitely know what the correct answer was? [18:45] <vera> they kinda like Vampires they invite them to parties too [18:45] <Theoriser> plus, there was a vampire in HBP that Harry met [18:45] <futureweasley> I think the ministry fears dementors above all...or they wouldn't have asked them to guard Azkaban [18:46] <Theoriser> and he wasn't being hunted down by the ministry, his friend just had to keep an eye on him [18:46] <HPotterExpert2> true [18:46] <vera> it doesn't make sense [18:46] <fawkes28> good point, future [18:46] <Whisperwing> Yes, SLughorn was very proud of his friendship [18:46] <yellowpepper2311> yeah good point fw [18:46] <Sofie> wasnt it just Luna's idea [18:46] <mollywobbles23> I think they mentioned Inferi on the sheet because since Voldemort was back, he would use them again like he did before. Werewolves and Dementors have always been a hazard [18:46] <harryfreak359> yeah Future [18:46] <Whisperwing> I said werwolves and I got an O [18:46] <yellowpepper2311> pfff [18:46] <Sofie> lol [18:46] <mollywobbles23> lol [18:46] <yellowpepper2311> lol [18:46] <Ravendor> lol [18:46] <vera> lol [18:46] <HPotterExpert2> lol [18:46] <harryfreak359> Well I said Dementors and got an "A" [18:47] * Whisperwing feels rather Hermione-esque [18:47] * futureweasley blows raspberries at Whisperwing [18:47] <vera> I said inferi and got EE [18:47] <Whisperwing> A is two levels below an O [18:47] <Gryffinclaw> I said inferi and got a EE [18:47] <harryfreak359> lol [18:47] <sajeesh> olupin's never a hazard. pls dont make sweeping statements [18:47] <Ravendor> I think I said dementors and got an EE [18:47] <HPotterExpert2> I said dementors, and got an O [18:47] <Gryffinclaw> lol Wisper [18:47] <Sofie> i said inferi and got an A [18:47] <vera> WOW [18:47] <Whisperwing> The question was who the Ministry of Magic thought was most dangerous, not who really IS.

[18:50] <HPotterExpert2> oh I see [18:51] <Expelliarmas> Dementors can reduce a person to nothing but a body with no soul. Inferi can reduce a human to bloody mass upon the ground. Hags, Vampires, and Werewolves seem to move about the Wizarding community. Does that information change your answer at all? Why or why not? [18:51] <harryfreak359> No [18:51] <yellowpepper2311> I'M a student ... so I'm still in the cheating business LOL [18:51] <Gryffinclaw> No because I chose Inferi [18:51] <HPotterExpert2> lol [18:51] <fawkes28> smile [18:51] <harryfreak359> being soulles is worse than being be dead [18:51] *** mollywobbles23 has quit [Bye] [18:51] <Ravendor> agreed, hf [18:51] *** mollywobbles23 has joined #lounge [18:51] <mollywobbles23> no [18:52] <vera> I teach english [18:52] <vera> LOL yellow [18:52] <vera> hi [18:52] <Gryffinclaw> Everyone says that but I just couldn't imagine it [18:52] <HPotterExpert2> I think that being a body without a soul is pretty bad [18:52] <vera> my keyboard went bersek [18:52] <mollywobbles23> What grade level, vera? I'm going to teach high school English. [18:52] <Whisperwing> Oh, the one in The Cauldron Shop was kind of hard to recognize, it didn't have a Trick or treat caption [18:52] <futureweasley> there are fates worse than death...that's why I believe Dementors are the most dangerous [18:52] <sajeesh> but MoM co-operated with dementors; that leaves Inferi [18:52] <harryfreak359> me too Future [18:52] <vera> I teach English as Foreign Language. I'm Greek [18:52] <HPotterExpert2> right, future [18:53] <HPotterExpert2> Greek rocks, I take ancient [18:53] <Theoriser> good point fw [18:53] <futureweasley> what are you HPotter, the horse of a different color today?

[18:53] <Aislinn> Let's stick to the topic folks [18:53] <vera> ok [18:53] <HPotterExpert2> I want to be "unqiue [18:53] <Expelliarmas> The fourth question asked which of the following the MoM considered amortal as having never died and can never die: dementors, ghosts, inferi, poltergeists, or vampires? What did you pick and why? [18:53] <mollywobbles23> They have legislation against werewolves [18:53] <HPotterExpert2> if I could spell [18:53] <harryfreak359> dementors [18:53] <Whisperwing> Poltergeists [18:53] <vera> poltergeists [18:53] <Theoriser> I think I chose poltergeists [18:53] <Aislinn> that's exactly right molly [18:53] <mollywobbles23> I answered poltergeists, I think. [18:53] <Ravendor> I think I chose dementors [18:53] <Gryffinclaw> Poltergiests JKR says so on her website [18:53] <yellowpepper2311> can't remember [18:54] <mollywobbles23> I struggled a little [18:54] <Ravendor> yeah, I did [18:54] <futureweasley> I also answered Poltergeists [18:54] <sajeesh> POLTERGEISTS straight away. [18:54] <Theoriser> because dementors can be born, so they must be able to die [18:54] * harryfreak359 hides [18:54] <HPotterExpert2> poltergeists [18:54] <Whisperwing> because that's what she said about Peeves, he's not really a ghost because he's never really been alive [18:54] <futureweasley> why did I only get an "A"?! [18:54] <futureweasley> I had great answers!! [18:54] <Gryffinclaw> Why is HF hiding??

[18:54] <yellowpepper2311> how do ya get a poltergeist? [18:54] <Gryffinclaw> ahh [18:54] <futureweasley> I think so HF [18:54] <Ravendor> no, I did too, hf [18:54] <vera> Yeah, sounds like you did future.. [18:54] <Whisperwing> It's kind of like an elemental creature.... [18:55] <sajeesh> thrs a conspiracy against u FW [18:55] <fawkes28> back...i think i picked poltergeist [18:55] <harryfreak359> *sigh* [18:55] <Expelliarmas> I picked poltergeists, as they were never alive, they can't kick the bucket, either [18:55] <futureweasley> I wouldn't doubt it...but I remembered what Jo had said about Peeves on her website [18:55] <yellowpepper2311> no wonder that I did get an A *sighs* [18:55] <Ravendor> I really don't know how I got an EE [18:55] <Aislinn> she also said he was like dry rot in a house - you can't ever get rid of it [18:55] <futureweasley> that poltergeists were never really alive...so they couldn't die. They are nothing like ghosts [18:55] <Ravendor> lol [18:55] *** bhuey has joined #lounge [18:55] <HPotterExpert2> why does jo do this to us...i felt like a bad fan after the W.O.M.B.A.T [18:55] <vera> nooo [18:56] <Aislinn> hi bhuey [18:56] <fawkes28> maybe these questions werent as much as the "thinking" ones [18:56] <vera> don't feel like that Hpotter!!! [18:56] <HPotterExpert2> why not? [18:56] <Aislinn> these were worth 5 points each [18:56] <Expelliarmas> The fifth question got into the unresolved question of what triggered the Goblin Rebellion of 1612: lack of Wizengamot representation; attempts to enslave Goblins for use as house-elves; refusal to allow Goblins to carry a wand; attempts to re-take Gringotts; brutal goblin-murders by Yardley Platt. Did you totally close your eyes and guess on this one? What did you pick and why? [18:56] <vera> because a real fan isn't mesured by the number of correct answers [18:56] <Sofie> im back! smile [18:56] <vera> hey sofie [18:57] <sajeesh> wand [18:57] <Aislinn> this one was a total guess [18:57] <HPotterExpert2> i would love to know the point value for a letter grade [18:57] <yellowpepper2311> lack of Wizengamot representation + wb sofster! [18:57] <futureweasley> I think I chose refusal to allow Goblins to carry a wand [18:57] <Aislinn> I chose the wand [18:57] <mollywobbles23> I think I answered Wizengamot [18:57] <mollywobbles23> I think [18:57] <Ravendor> I chose the refusal to allow them to carry wands [18:57] <vera> I hate History of Magic [18:57] <Sofie> i put the lack of representation [18:57] <HPotterExpert2> the wand thing [18:57] <bhuey> Hello everyone, I'm new and am not savy of all the rule so I'll be a voyer for awhile [18:57] <vera> I put the wands [18:57] <Expelliarmas> I thought about using a ouija board for this exam [18:57] <harryfreak359> lack of Wizengamot represnetation [18:57] <futureweasley> it was that or the Yardley Platt thing [18:57] <mollywobbles23> lol [18:57] <Gryffinclaw> Wizangamot representation because I remember some weasleys descussing it in one of the books [18:57] <fawkes28> i think i picked the goblins murders [18:57] <Ravendor> I almost said the Wizengamot [18:57] <Sofie> its always about the politics [18:57] <yellowpepper2311> hey bhuey, welcome! [18:57] <Theoriser> I reckon it's refusing to let goblins carry a wand [18:57] <vera> I remember Platt. what did he do? [18:57] <harryfreak359> I almost picked the murders too [18:58] *** Sofie has quit [Bye] [18:58] <vera> so the wand one is correct? [18:58] <HPotterExpert2> welcome, bhuey! [18:58] * mollywobbles23 remembers elementary school and "no taxation without representation" [18:58] <mollywobbles23> lol [18:58] <fawkes28> lol [18:58] <HPotterExpert2> lol [18:58] <yellowpepper2311> lol [18:58] <vera> lol [18:58] <Aislinn> bill talked about whether they would support the wizards or not, but I'm not sure he related it to representation [18:58] *** Sofie has joined #lounge [18:58] <harryfreak359> hmm...I had a hard time choosing [18:58] <vera> ok sofie? [18:58] <yellowpepper2311> represent! [18:58] <futureweasley> good memory Aislinn! [18:58] <HPotterExpert2> seriously...I'm bad with deetais [18:58] <Expelliarmas> I don't think the goblins care about joining the wizarding community, but they would want wands [18:59] <HPotterExpert2> deatails..and spelling [18:59] <futureweasley> I agree Expie [18:59] <HPotterExpert2> never mind! [18:59] <Ravendor> brb [18:59] <Sofie> stupid lagging [18:59] <Theoriser> yeah... I always got the impression that they were angry about being denied the rights of wizards, like wands [18:59] * mollywobbles23 is cold because it's 61degrees outside, but probably about 55degrees in this basement, even with space heaters [18:59] <vera> details are hard to remember [18:59] <Expelliarmas> The sixth question addressed Giants and asked which statement was true: the clans are matriarchal; females are usually larger than males; poor eyesight; nocturnal; or many are cannibals. Did you think this was another shot in the dark to answer? What did you choose and why? [18:59] <Theoriser> like what Dumbledore was talking about in OOTP with the fountain [18:59] <mollywobbles23> I answered cannibals [18:59] <Gryffinclaw> Poor eyesight [18:59] <vera> cannibals [18:59] <futureweasley> poor eyesight |

[19:01] <harryfreak359> They kill each other, but I don't think that they eat each other [19:01] <fawkes28> i dont know just took a guess lol [19:01] *** HPotterExpert2 left #lounge [] [19:01] <vera> they don't eat eachother? [19:01] <Aislinn> back to the goblins for a sec Lupin says "I think it dpends what they're offered....If they're offered the freedoms we've been denying them for centuries they're going to be tempted [19:01] <bhuey> I said poor eyesight, it was mentioned several times in the book....the mountains and the dark forest [19:01] <Sofie> gotta reread Garp in Ootp [19:02] <yellowpepper2311> what about bad eyesight ... remember Grawp .... HEerrrrmyyy???? [19:02] <Sofie> or whats his name [19:02] <yellowpepper2311> lol [19:02] <fawkes28> what freedons, aislinn? [19:02] <Gryffinclaw> Grawp did lean in closer to have a better look at Harry and Hermy when he faght the centaurs [19:02] <sajeesh> ok pepper [19:02] <Gryffinclaw> *faught* [19:02] <harryfreak359> yeah [19:02] <vera> maybe it was just him [19:02] <Theoriser> Hagrid doesn't have poor eyesight, does he? [19:02] <Sofie> maybe he was just stuoid [19:02] <futureweasley> that's the question, isn't it fawkes?! who knows...but they've obviously been repressed [19:02] <Sofie> *stupid [19:02] <mollywobbles23> every species is prone to poor eyesight [19:03] <vera> no, but he's half [19:03] <Aislinn> it doesn't specify, but to me, the wands are the closest to freedoms in the choices available [19:03] <yellowpepper2311> but he's only half ginat [19:03] <yellowpepper2311> *giant [19:03] <Aislinn> lag, lag [19:03] <vera> lag? [19:03] <Sofie> i think its the repr. at Wizengamont Ais [19:03] <Expelliarmas> The 7th question asked which of the following house-elf statements was false: average life expectancy of 200 years; allegiance first to its house rather than the inhabitants; can’t be ordered to kill themselves; their magic is sufficiently powerful to override wizard enchantments; or they breed infrequently and only with the master’s okay. What did you chose here and why? [19:03] <Sofie> to me, at least [19:03] * harryfreak359 thinks Aislinn's computer should behave [19:03] <yellowpepper2311> well at least that's waht I chose [19:03] <fawkes28> i'd be mad if i wasn't given a wand either [19:04] <Aislinn> but that's not a freedom sofie [19:04] <mollywobbles23> I don't remember [19:04] *** x0ginnyW0x has joined #lounge [19:04] <yellowpepper2311> they breed infrequently and only with the master’s okay [19:04] <Theoriser> I hope it's can't be ordered to kill themselves [19:04] <Aislinn> I had no idea on this one [19:04] <Theoriser> *not [19:04] <harryfreak359> I said life expectancy [19:04] <mollywobbles23> I think I said house, but I think I was wrong. Those types of questions always confuse me. [19:04] <x0ginnyW0x> Hello smile [19:04] <mollywobbles23> It's the wording [19:04] <sajeesh> house thingy maybe [19:04] <Ravendor> I think I chose house [19:04] <vera> I chose their overpowering [19:04] <Sofie> i chose allegiance [19:04] <yellowpepper2311> hey! [19:04] <Whisperwing> Allegiance to house first [19:04] <Gryffinclaw> Closed eyes and clicked [19:04] <Sofie> lol [19:04] <Theoriser> oops I've confused myself, I mean I hope it wasn't that one [19:04] <vera> lol [19:05] <fawkes28> i think i chose house [19:05] <Whisperwing> The question was which was false, yeah? [19:05] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [19:05] <Ravendor> yeah [19:05] <Expelliarmas> I picked house allegiance on this one; Kreacher had to serve the Blacks, even if he didn't like them [19:05] <Sofie> yep [19:05] <harryfreak359> we know they are pretty powerful...so I think they could override a wizards enchanments [19:05] <vera> youre right [19:05] <vera> yeah [19:05] <fawkes28> because if the family moves, doesn't the house elf go with them? [19:05] <Gryffinclaw> I think I went with breeding because if they did it all the time we would be surrounded with house elves [19:05] <sajeesh> remember how Mr.Malfoy was threatened by Dobby? [19:05] <Sofie> of course [19:05] <vera> yeah [19:05] <Whisperwing> Ah but he had to serve Harry Potter whoo's not a Black at all, because that was Sirius's will... [19:06] <x0ginnyW0x> We're talking WOMBATS today? [19:06] <Theoriser> but wasn't the question which one was false? [19:06] <Whisperwing> Yuss [19:06] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [19:06] <Expelliarmas> I mean I eliminated that choice; also eliminated the magic to override wizard enchantments; Dobby apparates all over Hogwarts [19:06] <Sofie> yep Ginny [19:06] <vera> yes [19:06] <harryfreak359> yes theoriser [19:06] <vera> they are powerful alright [19:06] * Sofie is confused [19:06] <harryfreak359> yeah expel [19:06] * yellowpepper2311 is hungry [19:06] <sajeesh> sajeesh signing out. BYE EVERYONE [19:06] <Whisperwing> It's the house allegiance that's false because it's the occupants they serve [19:06] <Whisperwing> Bye [19:06] <fawkes28> bye [19:06] <mollywobbles23> bye [19:06] <x0ginnyW0x> bye [19:07] <vera> bye [19:07] <yellowpepper2311> bye! [19:07] <Ravendor> bye [19:07] <Sofie> bye [19:07] <Expelliarmas> after I eliminated those two choices, it was a total guess [19:07] <Theoriser> I went with the house one [19:07] <harryfreak359> I think it is the age expectancy [19:07] <harryfreak359> bye [19:07] <x0ginnyW0x> For the house elf question I put the breeding one [19:07] *** sajeesh has quit [Bye] [19:07] <vera> if it's the false one you're right whis... [19:07] <Gryffinclaw> yeah the house was right I reckon [19:07] <Expelliarmas> Moving onto Part Two. Question 8 asked which of the following was the most concerning issue at this time in the Wizarding community: Insufficient info from the MoM on LV’s return; insufficient action by the MoM to fight LV; inadequate MoM resources devoted to protecting the Wizarding community; or MoM overreaction to LV’s return–the best thing to happen in years. What did you pick and why? [19:07] <x0ginnyW0x> I thought after the dementor breeding in HBP, anything was possilbe [19:08] <Sofie> i dont remember [19:08] <mollywobbles23> insufficient action [19:08] <Aislinn> the third one [19:08] <vera> information? [19:08] <Ravendor> the action one [19:08] <x0ginnyW0x> I put information [19:08] <futureweasley> bye guys [19:08] <harryfreak359> insignifigant action...I think [19:08] <Sofie> the 3rd one i guess [19:08] <Gryffinclaw> Insufficent action - 3 arrests 1=Stan Shunpike [19:08] <vera> bye! [19:08] <x0ginnyW0x> Bye [19:08] <harryfreak359> bye [19:08] *** futureweasley has quit [Bye] [19:08] <Ravendor> bye [19:08] <fawkes28> i put the resources i think [19:09] * yellowpepper2311 off to search for some food - will be back in a minute [19:09] <Expelliarmas> I chose insufficient action by the MOM; Scrimgeour was worried about that [19:09] <Expelliarmas> the perception of that [19:09] <vera> they were keeping the whole thing hidden so quite a long time though [19:09] <mollywobbles23> yep, that's why he wanted Harry as a mascot: so they'd at least appear to be doing something [19:09] <Aislinn> I think it was the protection one [19:10] <Ravendor> exactly, mollywobbles [19:10] <x0ginnyW0x> I might have been optimistic, but I hoped that the biggest support would be lack of information, after the frustration that was OOTP [19:10] <Expelliarmas> By present time, most folks assumed at the time of HBP. Knowing that, does that change your answer? Would you like to see the MoM poll upon which this question was based? Do you suspect it was written by Percy? [19:10] <Aislinn> people would be most concerned about their own safety [19:10] *** TheAzkabanDietitian has joined #lounge [19:10] <x0ginnyW0x> *not support, concern [19:10] <Sofie> thats true Ais [19:10] <Whisperwing> I really can't remember what I said on that one [19:11] <knightbuspassenger> I think it's the protection one, I think that also gives a clue to the next book, J.K. r [19:11] <mollywobbles23> no, it doesn't change my answer [19:11] <vera> how? [19:11] <knightbuspassenger> rowling did say that voldemort was getting legroom [19:11] <vera> ok..? [19:11] <Aislinn> I think they would care about action, but that would be secondary to being safe [19:11] <Theoriser> no, not really, I just assumed it was the time of HBP because otherwise the wizarding community wouldn't have known that Voldemort was back [19:11] <vera> true [19:11] <mollywobbles23> but, wouldn't action correlate with feeling safe? [19:11] <Theoriser> and the fact that it says he's back suggests that it's the second time [19:12] <Sofie> not neceassarily molly [19:12] *** keltalk has joined #lounge [19:12] <vera> the first one was wy back [19:12] <Expelliarmas> The 9th question looked like something from Umbridge or Skeeter. Which Hogwarts’ subject have parents complained of the most (over a 100-year period): care of magical creatures: DADA; history of magic; or Muggle studies? What did you pick and why? [19:12] <Theoriser> hi keltalk [19:12] <vera> way [19:13] <mollywobbles23> DADA [19:13] <Ravendor> DADA [19:13] <TheAzkabanDietitian> i picked DADA [19:13] <x0ginnyW0x> I picked DADA [19:13] <vera> DADA [19:13] <Gryffinclaw> DADA [19:13] <Theoriser> oh dear, I put history of magic [19:13] <Sofie> dada [19:13] <harryfreak359> Care of Magical creatures is what I put [19:13] <Aislinn> I chose Care of Magical Creatures [19:13] <vera> but the 100 period confused me [19:13] <Theoriser> but thinking about it now it probably isn't right [19:13] <Expelliarmas> I had it as a toss up between CMC and DADA [19:13] <Gryffinclaw> Werewolf,Imposter,MOM,Voldemort,DE [19:13] <Sofie> i though about the constant change of teachers [19:13] <Aislinn> over the whole period of time, its more likely that kids got hurt by creatures [19:13] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I figured there was more problems over a 100 year period with the more dangerous of the two subjects [19:13] <Expelliarmas> But DADA won out given that it's had so many teachers [19:14] <vera> true [19:14] <Aislinn> the previous teacher left the position to take care of his remaining limbs [19:14] <fawkes28> i picked history of magic because it's so boring for everyone [19:14] <x0ginnyW0x> hm...now I see an argument for CMC [19:14] <vera> but not for 100 years [19:14] <TheAzkabanDietitian> lol [19:14] <x0ginnyW0x> kids getting hurt... [19:14] <Aislinn> so its not just Hagrid's penchant for dangerous beasts that makes it risky [19:14] <TheAzkabanDietitian> Were teachers before Hagrid so... eccentric though? [19:14] <Expelliarmas> well, Lockhart as a teacher for DADA couldn't have won it many points [19:14] <x0ginnyW0x> Or maybe it could have [19:14] <TheAzkabanDietitian> It seemed as if they picked far different animals... but isn't there a curriculum to follow? [19:14] <x0ginnyW0x> Swooning mothers [19:15] <mollywobbles23> sadly, neither could have Lupin [19:15] <mollywobbles23> that's why he left [19:15] <Ravendor> true [19:15] <Aislinn> DADA hasn't been that risky for the students [19:15] <Aislinn> and the parents' concern would be over potential harm [19:15] <harryfreak359> I agree Aislinn [19:15] <Ravendor> they could think their children are taught too much about the Dark Arts [19:15] <Expelliarmas> well, if they don't have adequate DADA instruction, aren't they in danger? [19:15] <Theoriser> I can see the argument for both [19:15] <harryfreak359> I mean a creature could eat their kids! [19:16] *** JaneMarple9 has joined #lounge [19:16] <Sofie> lol [19:16] <fawkes28> hi jane [19:16] <TheAzkabanDietitian> CoMC or DADA....Hm.... now that I think about it, parents who were against LV in the first war would be more prone to support DADA then go against it... [19:16] <x0ginnyW0x> I think parents would be more concerned over the safety of their children than anything [19:16] <Ravendor> hey, Jane [19:16] <vera> I don't think they were supposed to be exposed to dangerous beings [19:16] <harryfreak359> DADA is teaching them to protect themselves from bad things [19:16] <JaneMarple9> Evening/Afternoon/Morning! smile [19:16] <harryfreak359> hi Jane [19:16] <fawkes28> i think you guys are right about the creatures [19:16] <Expelliarmas> The 10th question asked what percentage of the community believed the Weather-Modifying Charms should be regulated due to their effect upon the environment: 3%, 33%, 53%, or 93%. Aside from using Trelawney’s crystal ball and channeling her great-grandma, how would you have known? What did you pick and why? [19:16] <mollywobbles23> well, "over a 100-year period" That includes Grinewald, first war with Voldy, and the second one. [19:16] <Sofie> hi jane! [19:16] <mollywobbles23> Gridewald* [19:16] <Aislinn> right harryfreak [19:16] <Gryffinclaw> 33% [19:16] <Aislinn> hi jane [19:16] <Ravendor> I chose 33 [19:16] <Gryffinclaw> no idea why [19:16] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I picked 93% .... which is very wrong mind you [19:16] <Sofie> 53 [19:16] <mollywobbles23> Grindewald* jeez! [19:16] <x0ginnyW0x> I picked 3% [19:16] <mollywobbles23> 53 [19:16] <harryfreak359> 53% [19:16] <bhuey> At Hogwarts they emphasised the defense not the Dark arts themselves [19:17] <vera> I picked 53 [19:17] <fawkes28> i know i put 93 put i am pretty sure i'm wrong [19:17] <Theoriser> I chose 33% [19:17] <Expelliarmas> I threw a dart at the board and picked wherever it landed as my choice [19:17] <Theoriser> I think [19:17] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I was just hoping it was 93! ^o^ [19:17] <mollywobbles23> I just went with how statistics usually go about environmental things [19:17] <fawkes28> lol, expel [19:17] <vera> do wizards meddle with the weather a lot? [19:17] <Aislinn> 33 I mean [19:17] <mollywobbles23> They're wizards, but they're still people. [19:17] <fawkes28> i would if i were a wizard [19:17] <vera> I would too [19:17] <vera> sounds like fun [19:18] <vera> rain here, sun there [19:18] <Theoriser> we haven't seen much of it in the books though, apart from the mist in the beginning of half-blood prince [19:18] <Sofie> i bert they do [19:18] <vera> both [19:18] <Expelliarmas> a quick follow up question: Do you suspect an appearance of Weather-Modifying Charms in Book 7? From the way the question is phrased, does this mean those Charms are not currently regulated? What do you think? [19:18] <Sofie> *bet [19:18] <mollywobbles23> I wouldn't. I respect Mother Nature too much. She'd probably get really mad. [19:18] <x0ginnyW0x> I got the impression from Harry's run ins with the wizarding public in OOTP that they aren't the type to be worried about enviromental isues [19:18] <Sofie> true [19:18] <TheAzkabanDietitian> No [19:18] <Gryffinclaw> No they arn't currently used [19:18] <mollywobbles23> I have no idea [19:18] * harryfreak359 has no clue [19:18] <Aislinn> ooh, interesting question [19:18] <vera> they don't seem to be aware of them [19:19] <x0ginnyW0x> I don't see how it would be very important [19:19] <fawkes28> it could be a way for DE's to retreat or distract people [19:19] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I wouldn't see the purpose [19:19] <TheAzkabanDietitian> of using one if you were LV [19:19] <fawkes28> actually it could if they make it too cold or hot they could hurt a lot of people or kill them [19:19] <Expelliarmas> I don't think they are regulated. Wonder if they were used along with the Giants in HBP to create the freak hurricane? [19:19] <fawkes28> or tsunami [19:19] <TheAzkabanDietitian> Nnnn.... they have better methods than that I think.. DE that is [19:19] *** yellowpepper2311 has quit [Bye] [19:19] <x0ginnyW0x> ohh interesting [19:19] <mollywobbles23> hurricanes, tornadoes, freak lightning storms... [19:19] <Theoriser> I agree Expelliarmas [19:19] <Sofie> wonder if they are actually able to modify sg so powerful like nature [19:19] *** yellowpepper2311 has joined #lounge [19:20] *** Aislinn has quit [Bye] [19:20] <fawkes28> maybe voldemort wants to be entertained [19:20] *** Aislinn has joined #lounge [19:20] <Theoriser> and even if they were regulated, people could always break that rule [19:20] <yellowpepper2311> uhsfh [19:20] <Expelliarmas> would be an easy way for DEs to get rid of loads of Muggles [19:20] <vera> Molly that sounds possible [19:20] <TheAzkabanDietitian> That hurricane is questionable I agree [19:20] <fawkes28> it would be something we havent seen yet [19:20] <yellowpepper2311> sorry, cat on the keyboard [19:20] <x0ginnyW0x> :D [19:20] <JaneMarple9> Whats the question? [19:20] <Expelliarmas> The 11th question is based on an ominous report from St. Mungo’s Admissions and asks which health scare at St. Mungo’s recently caused widespread panic: brain damage from the Imperius Curse; death due to Thestral sightings; spate of suspected werewolf bites; or uncontrollable bleeding due to ‘Nosebleed Nougat.’ What did you pick and why? [19:20] <JaneMarple9> smile chasing the mouse yellow peper? [19:20] <Gryffinclaw> Werewolf bites [19:20] <Sofie> imperius curse [19:21] <mollywobbles23> werewolf bites [19:21] <x0ginnyW0x> I put werewolf bites [19:21] <TheAzkabanDietitian> imperius and brain damage [19:21] <vera> nougat! Fred and George at their best [19:21] <Sofie> lol [19:21] <harryfreak359> werewolf bites [19:21] <yellowpepper2311> chasing my supper ... lol [19:21] <fawkes28> i think i picked werewolf bites [19:21] <x0ginnyW0x> I think the werewolf bites were most prominent in HBP [19:21] <Ravendor> imperious curse, I'm pretty sure that was my answer [19:21] <JaneMarple9> I think I did werewolf bites [19:21] <x0ginnyW0x> that was more of concern than anything else [19:21] <harryfreak359> but it was close to imperios curse [19:21] <harryfreak359> imperious8 [19:21] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I still thought that most of the werewolves were underground in HBP... so they wouldn't be so much of a problem excluding Fenrir Greyback [19:21] <Ravendor> *imperius [19:21] <x0ginnyW0x> We heard more about werewolves than anything [19:21] <Expelliarmas> From this question, do you suspect things will look a little grim going into Book 7? Why or why not? [19:21] <vera> I put the bites too but the nosebleeds sounded funny [19:22] <harryfreak359> yeah, because they are in a middle of war [19:22] <Gryffinclaw> yeah because its war isn't it [19:22] <x0ginnyW0x> I think it's foreshadowing, definitley [19:22] <Expelliarmas> I put down the bites as there is no cure for them and there is such a fear about werewolves in the Wizarding community [19:22] <fawkes28> oh they will be grim but i think we figured that out before this question [19:22] <mollywobbles23> I think it's going to be pretty gruesome [19:22] <x0ginnyW0x> This book has been described as a bloodbath [19:22] <vera> I think St Mungos will be very busy indeed [19:22] <JaneMarple9> Well I hope a cure for werewolves will be found soon [19:22] <x0ginnyW0x> it's not going to be pretty [19:22] <Sofie> lol, true fawkes [19:22] <Ravendor> yeah, how could it not be grim?? [19:22] <yellowpepper2311> i picked the nougats .. coz fred and george rock [19:22] <mollywobbles23> I'll be disappointed if it's not, being a war and all. [19:22] <Expelliarmas> I also have a feeling there will be no vacancies at St. Mungo's [19:22] *** kitti has joined #lounge [19:22] <JaneMarple9> I think book 7 needs a health warning smile [19:23] <mollywobbles23> lol [19:23] <vera> lol [19:23] <kitti> hi everyone smile [19:23] <fawkes28> i dont know if there will be a st. mungo's left [19:23] <x0ginnyW0x> hehe [19:23] * Sofie is already depressed [19:23] *** bhuey left #lounge [] [19:23] <x0ginnyW0x> hello [19:23] <Ravendor> hey, kitti [19:23] <vera> perhaps they'll found a new hospital [19:23] <Expelliarmas> The 12th question, based on an MoM poll, asked what change 18% of wizards would like to see to the requirements for Wizengamot membership: average age lowered from 87; proof of pure-blood status; maximum of three years in post; Goblin representation. What did you pick and why? [19:23] <Ravendor> pure-blood status [19:23] <x0ginnyW0x> pure blood [19:23] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I said age because I didn't think there would be enough pure-bloods that old around [19:23] <Gryffinclaw> I'm going now see you tomorrow guys [19:23] <Sofie> pube blood [19:23] <vera> pure blood [19:23] *** Gryffinclaw has quit [Bye] [19:23] <kitti> pure blood status [19:24] *** Aislinn has quit [Bye] [19:24] *** Aislinn has joined #lounge [19:24] <Expelliarmas> yeah, I thought the 18% was a giveaway that these were the pure-blood fanatics [19:24] <fawkes28> i either both pure blood or max of three years [19:24] <mollywobbles23> I don't remember, but I think pure-blood is right. I know I didn't pick that. But when I think about it, it makes sense. [19:24] <JaneMarple9> pure blood I think [19:24] <vera> they seem stuck on that issue [19:24] <Theoriser> I don't see why they would want goblin representation, because they're wizards and they wouldn't care [19:24] <mollywobbles23> Numbers throw me off [19:24] <x0ginnyW0x> I thought 18% sounded about the right number of pure blood crazies [19:24] <Aislinn> that was my thought as well expie [19:24] <kitti> i just guessed but i thought pure blood was right [19:24] <Ravendor> yeah, it wasn't a high number but it wasn't miniscule either [19:24] <Sofie> narrow-minded old fools [19:25] <vera> yeah [19:25] <harryfreak359> I said maximum of three years at post blushing [19:25] <x0ginnyW0x> out of curiousity, how did ya'll do on your wombats? [19:25] <Expelliarmas> We're saving Part 3 for last. Part 4 was about Muggles. Question 14 had four magical inventions that had been duplicated FULLY by Muggles, and one that had not (Flying broomstick, Mrs. Skower's All-Purpose Magical Mess Remover, Omnioculars, the spell "Reparo," or self-ironing robes). Which one did you choose? What are the Muggle counterparts for the others? [19:25] <fawkes28> pure bloods dont have too many numbers these days i think she's trying to tell us something smile [19:25] *** kitti has quit [Bye] [19:25] <vera> Reparo [19:25] <mollywobbles23> reparo [19:25] <Ravendor> Reparo [19:25] <Aislinn> reparo [19:25] <vera> I wish we had it! [19:25] <Sofie> reparo [19:25] <x0ginnyW0x> reparo [19:25] <TheAzkabanDietitian> broomstick [19:25] <Aislinn> lol [19:25] <JaneMarple9> self ironing robes I put I think [19:25] <fawkes28> i put broomstick [19:25] <harryfreak359> reparo [19:26] *** keltalk has quit [Bye] [19:26] <JaneMarple9> sounds handy for Mums and Dads [19:26] <TheAzkabanDietitian> Well I've never seen a flying broomstick [19:26] <Expelliarmas> I went with reparo; there are ultralights which you can use as a broom, if you have the nerve [19:26] <fawkes28> me too! [19:26] <mollywobbles23> How handy would that be as a kid? No more blaming things on your imaginery friend or sibling. [19:26] <x0ginnyW0x> I ruled out flying broomstick with airplanes [19:26] <Expelliarmas> or the insanity [19:26] <JaneMarple9> Not many people have biggrin [19:26] *** roonwit has joined #lounge [19:26] <Ravendor> same here, ginny [19:26] <x0ginnyW0x> magical mess remover with.... Mr Clean's Magic Eraser? [19:26] <harryfreak359> me too ginny [19:26] <Aislinn> planes are comparable, and permanent press could be argued to be self ironing [19:26] <fawkes28> but i flying broom is a flying broom not a plane [19:26] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I thought we muggles could fix stuff pretty good... maybe not everything [19:26] <vera> I put reparo because if we had one I'd get it! [19:26] <Expelliarmas> Mess Remover = "Goo Gone!" [19:27] <Aislinn> we can't fix it so that it is as if it was never broken [19:27] <x0ginnyW0x> Omniculars with video cameras [19:27] <vera> cool [19:27] <Aislinn> right [19:27] <Ravendor> yep [19:27] <harryfreak359> or binoculars [19:27] <x0ginnyW0x> Self ironing robes with wrinkle free clothing [19:27] <mollywobbles23> broomstick-plane; magical mess-409; omniculars-tv instant replay; self-ironing-iron. We cannot put something back the way it was once broken, even with super glue. [19:27] <harryfreak359> yeah [19:27] <Sofie> reparo is such a handy spell. you can use it every time you want to fix something [19:27] <Ravendor> exactly, mollywobbles [19:27] <Aislinn> right molly [19:27] <fawkes28> but you can just by another one [19:27] <harryfreak359> yep molly [19:27] <Expelliarmas> Question 15 is very similar to question 14, except it was asking which one MUGGLE invention couldn't be fully duplicated with magic. Did you guess that it was the airplane, the car, a computer, a phone, or a television? [19:28] <vera> some things are irreplacable [19:28] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [19:28] <Sofie> computer [19:28] <mollywobbles23> but, you didn't repare the broken thing [19:28] <x0ginnyW0x> computer [19:28] <Aislinn> computer was what I chose [19:28] <Ravendor> computer [19:28] <harryfreak359> computer [19:28] <vera> computer [19:28] <fawkes28> computer [19:28] <yellowpepper2311> comp [19:28] *** roonwit has quit [Bye] [19:28] <Sofie> great minds think alike [19:28] <Expelliarmas> I went with TV [19:28] <Sofie> smile [19:28] <mollywobbles23> television...hasn't she said that they have something better than computers/internet? [19:28] <x0ginnyW0x> A computer is such a complex thing... I don't think you could duplicate it [19:28] <harryfreak359> lol [19:28] <JaneMarple9> i think i put computer [19:28] <x0ginnyW0x> Better, but not really replacing it mollywobbles [19:28] <TheAzkabanDietitian> tv [19:28] <harryfreak359> their pictures are kind of like silent TVs [19:29] <x0ginnyW0x> That's how I looked at it [19:29] <vera> true [19:29] <Aislinn> me too ginny [19:29] <Ravendor> me too [19:29] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [19:29] <TheAzkabanDietitian> but their repetitive.... and do not move with as much versatility [19:29] <JaneMarple9> I can see Hermione using the Internet to research things [19:29] <TheAzkabanDietitian> me too! lol [19:30] <Sofie> whichipedia? lol [19:30] <yellowpepper2311> he he he hogwarts a history-online research [19:30] <vera> are they repetitive though? I don't think they are in the books [19:30] <Aislinn> they would have figured out their mysteries a lot sooner with the internet [19:30] <TheAzkabanDietitian> the only problem with choosing tv is that it is very very close to computer imo [19:30] <x0ginnyW0x> Yes but the pictures were closer to TVs than anything we've been introduced to is to computers, and those were the two it came down to for me [19:30] <Sofie> just google horcrux lol [19:30] <Aislinn> like they would have found out who Flamel was [19:30] <mollywobbles23> but, they're not actual TVs. All computers do is do jobs faster, but you can still do those things without them. People used to do it all the time. They don't really have a visual story-telling anything. [19:30] <harryfreak359> lol [19:30] <JaneMarple9> Just imagine Harry, Hermione or Ron stumbling across the corner-booth [19:30] <harryfreak359> lol [19:30] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I thought the WW had enough books to replace the internet [19:30] <Ravendor> lol [19:30] <vera> lol [19:30] <yellowpepper2311> lol [19:30] <JaneMarple9> They'd love it! [19:31] <TheAzkabanDietitian> omg jane [19:31] <Aislinn> but books are not computers [19:31] * mollywobbles23 has read too many fanfics with the trio discovering shipping fics to mention [19:31] <vera> and great ways to find what you're looking for fast [19:31] <TheAzkabanDietitian> they carry information though [19:31] <x0ginnyW0x> I agree Aislinn [19:31] <Aislinn> its the speed and the ability to find something without wading through thousands of books randomly [19:31] <x0ginnyW0x> A computer does so so much more than a book [19:31] <Ravendor> agreed, Aislinn [19:31] <vera> true [19:31] <Aislinn> Harry ran out of time for the second task looking through books [19:31] <yellowpepper2311> yep [19:31] <JaneMarple9> it can break down at the "wronmg" moments smile [19:31] <Aislinn> he would have found gilly weed on the internet [19:31] <Ravendor> if he had used Google he wouldn't have run out of time [19:31] <mollywobbles23> a computer does the same job as a brain; after all the brain is a natural computer [19:31] <x0ginnyW0x> saying a book is like a computer is like saying walking is in the same league of travel as flying [19:32] <harryfreak359> yeah...it is a book, tv, radio, phone, etc. all in one [19:32] <TheAzkabanDietitian> but I thought of it as similar... with the Room of Requirement you could probably get that *high speed* affect... just walk in and the book you need is lying there before you [19:32] <Sofie> i gotta go guys! *waves* bye all! [19:32] <TheAzkabanDietitian> bye sofie [19:32] <fawkes28> bye sofie [19:32] <Aislinn> bye sofie [19:32] <x0ginnyW0x> Bye Sofie! [19:32] <harryfreak359> bye sofie [19:32] <JaneMarple9> bye Sofie [19:32] <yellowpepper2311> bye sofie! [19:32] <Ravendor> bye, Sofie [19:32] <Whisperwing> bye Sofie [19:32] <Aislinn> that misses the point of the question azkaban [19:32] <vera> I loved your idea Azkaban [19:32] *** Sofie has quit [Bye] [19:32] <mollywobbles23> how does it miss the point? [19:32] <Aislinn> not many in the wizarding world have access to the Room of Requirement [19:33] <harryfreak359> yeah [19:33] <Expelliarmas> How did you answer question 18? (About whether Muggles are ignorant, in danger, inferior, insensitive to their surroundings, interesting, or irritating facts of life.) Since the WOMBAT exam is also for Muggles, what point of view did you answer from - Muggle, pureblood, or muggle-loving wizard? [19:33] <vera> maybe there are more [19:33] <mollywobbles23> in danger [19:33] <JaneMarple9> They would if they really needed ut [19:33] <fawkes28> i put in danger [19:33] <TheAzkabanDietitian> i know... i'm saying the answer I picked was wrong... I picked tv, but I'm pretty sure that is not correct. [19:33] <vera> Ignorant [19:33] <harryfreak359> in danger [19:33] <yellowpepper2311> interesting [19:33] <Ravendor> in danger [19:33] <x0ginnyW0x> ignorant [19:33] <x0ginnyW0x> or maybe in danger [19:33] <Aislinn> insensitve to their surroundings [19:33] <JaneMarple9> Ignorant for me [19:33] <x0ginnyW0x> I don't remember [19:33] <vera> they are sooo ignorant [19:33] <TheAzkabanDietitian> i picked insensitive to surroundings [19:33] <fawkes28> i think there will be mass killings and i am afraid for them so that's why i picked in danger [19:33] <vera> all this time under their noses [19:34] <harryfreak359> almost picked insensitive [19:34] <Aislinn> we hear over and over again in the books that muggles don't listen right or see things [19:34] <harryfreak359> but I think they are definitely in danger [19:34] <JaneMarple9> Some Muggles are brighter than others though smile [19:34] <x0ginnyW0x> I think the correct answer was probably in danger, because no matter what viewpoint you look at it from, they *are* in danger [19:34] <Aislinn> Stan tells Harry that when he asks why Muggles don't hear the Knight Bus [19:34] <vera> been to the Moon but don't know what's in their back yard [19:34] <TheAzkabanDietitian> doesn't arthur bring it up? [19:34] <TheAzkabanDietitian> as well [19:34] <fawkes28> i thought harry would pick in danger which is why i think i picked it [19:34] <JaneMarple9> Who are Muggles in danger from....Voldemort? [19:35] <fawkes28> i figured if you saw it from his perspective you would do the best [19:35] <x0ginnyW0x> Yes [19:35] <TheAzkabanDietitian> yes [19:35] <JaneMarple9> Harry will deal with him smile [19:35] <mollywobbles23> But then, wizards keep Muggles ignorant with Obliviation spells. I guess I was thinking what they're situation is going to be in 7, which is "in danger." [19:35] <vera> yeah [19:35] <TheAzkabanDietitian> true [19:35] <yellowpepper2311> yeha [19:35] <x0ginnyW0x> I think there is no denying that *everyone* is in danger [19:35] <vera> true [19:35] <TheAzkabanDietitian> but it is a rare event i think compared to the masses [19:35] <Expelliarmas> Lastly was Part 3- Magical Objects. You had 25 items and had to choose only three besides a wand you'd consider indispensable in case of trouble. We're going to go through the list five at a time. Did anyone choose Anti-Muggle doorknob, Broomstick, Cauldron, Crystal ball, or Extendable Ears? Why? [19:35] <TheAzkabanDietitian> who don't see [19:36] <x0ginnyW0x> I chose broomstick [19:36] <JaneMarple9> I think I went for broomstick [19:36] <mollywobbles23> broomstick [19:36] <Aislinn> that was my thought too azkaban [19:36] <Ravendor> umm...I don't remember, lol [19:36] <fawkes28> i chose broomstick [19:36] <yellowpepper2311> yeah broomstick [19:36] <vera> broomstick [19:36] <yellowpepper2311> and the potions-making kit [19:36] <Ravendor> I might've chosen broomstick [19:36] <Aislinn> broomstick [19:36] <Expelliarmas> I had broomstick for sure [19:36] <harryfreak359> i chose extendable ears [19:36] <vera> why? [19:36] <harryfreak359> but not broomstick [19:36] <Expelliarmas> for an easy and quick fleeing of a situation [19:36] <JaneMarple9> what would a doorknob be useful for? [19:37] <Aislinn> the broomstick gives a means of escape [19:37] <vera> throw it to sb's face? [19:37] <harryfreak359> I think it would be useful to listen around corners to see what is happening [19:37] <fawkes28> yes, ais [19:37] <Ravendor> wait, I don't think I did choose any of those [19:37] <Expelliarmas> Did anyone choose Floo powder, Foe-Glass, Hand of Glory, Invisibility Cloak, or Lunascope? How might these come in handy? smile.gif [19:37] <mollywobbles23> invisibility cloak [19:37] <vera> invisibility cloak [19:37] <yellowpepper2311> invisibility cloak [19:37] <JaneMarple9> Invisability cloak [19:37] <fawkes28> i picked foe glass and invisibility cloack [19:37] <yellowpepper2311> it'S quite handy [19:38] <harryfreak359> Invisiblility cloak [19:38] <JaneMarple9> Sometimes people think I wear one biggrin [19:38] <Aislinn> Invisibility cloak [19:38] <harryfreak359> very handy [19:38] <vera> i love the cloak! [19:38] <fawkes28> i thought for foe glass that you never know who is a friend or foe these days and it would be good for harry to have [19:38] <Expelliarmas> I went for the invisibility cloak, it's so useful for um, sneaking [19:38] <x0ginnyW0x> I picked the cloak [19:38] <JaneMarple9> and hiding! [19:38] <vera> true Fawkes [19:38] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [19:38] <Ravendor> I chose cloak for sure and I think foe glass too [19:38] <fawkes28> i also picked the cloak because it has helped harry so many times before [19:38] <Expelliarmas> hiding, too, Jane! [19:39] <x0ginnyW0x> The three I picked were, cloak, broomstick, and parchment (I figured Jo was a writer soo.... smile ) [19:39] <Expelliarmas> How about Omnioculars, Parchment, Pensieve, Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, or a Potion-making kit? Would these really help you in a time of trouble? [19:39] <JaneMarple9> imagine playing a game of hide and seek with a invisability cloak? biggrin [19:39] <knightbuspassenger> you'd need the foe glass more, there are some wizards who can see through the cloak [19:39] <vera> potion making kit [19:39] <mollywobbles23> potion-making kit. [19:39] <harryfreak359> Peruvian insant darkness powder [19:39] <yellowpepper2311> potions-making kit [19:39] <mollywobbles23> for medical potions [19:39] <Ravendor> Instant darkness powder [19:39] <x0ginnyW0x> Parchment [19:39] <JaneMarple9> I think I went for the potion-making kit [19:39] <yellowpepper2311> but don't we need a cauldron, then? [19:39] <vera> to brew some polyjuice or sth deadly [19:39] <Expelliarmas> Apparently, by the time of this question, my head was spinning, and I picked a pensieve, how I'd tote it around, I've no earthly idea! [19:39] <vera> use a pot [19:39] <fawkes28> i didn't pick any of these [19:40] <yellowpepper2311> right [19:40] <Theoriser> I thought the instant darkness powder would be good [19:40] <harryfreak359> we have seen it useful for Draco when escaping the Order [19:40] *** Whisperwing has quit [Bye] [19:40] <mollywobbles23> when I hear "kit" I think that a cauldron comes with it, being a kit and all. [19:40] <x0ginnyW0x> I figured a piece of parchment really could be used for *anything* [19:40] <Aislinn> I chose the darkness powder [19:40] <mollywobbles23> could be wrong [19:40] <JaneMarple9> We can make our potions in any Muggle object smile [19:40] <yellowpepper2311> no, sounds reasonable mollyw [19:40] <vera> yeah [19:40] *** TheAzkabanDietitian has quit [Bye] [19:40] <JaneMarple9> good thinking molly! [19:40] <Expelliarmas> I wish I'd chosen the darkness powder, but thought what would I need it for with the Cloak? [19:41] *** Poet has joined #lounge [19:41] <JaneMarple9> Does it come with a Potions teacher too?...eek! [19:41] <Aislinn> I didn't think I'd have time to make a potion, if I was in danger [19:41] <x0ginnyW0x> I thought that too Expelliarmas [19:41] <Aislinn> Hi Poet! [19:41] <mollywobbles23> also, how would you see without the Hand of Glory? [19:41] * Poet sneaks in [19:41] <JaneMarple9> Hi Poet [19:41] <fawkes28> hi poet [19:41] <yellowpepper2311> hey poet [19:41] <vera> hi poet [19:41] <Ravendor> hey, Poet [19:41] <x0ginnyW0x> hello smile [19:41] <Aislinn> you'd throw it at your enemy and run the other way molly [19:41] <harryfreak359> Cloak, darkness powder and extendable ears...I wonder if I would get out of danger with those [19:41] <JaneMarple9> Nope Poet, your Invisability cloak doesn't work biggrin [19:42] <Expelliarmas> Here are some fun items: Quick-Quotes Quill, Remembrall, Revealer, Scales, Secrecy Sensor. Did you consider choosing any of these? [19:42] <vera> perhaps harry.. [19:42] <Aislinn> it was cloak, broom and powder for me [19:42] <Ravendor> nope [19:42] <yellowpepper2311> nope [19:42] <harryfreak359> nope [19:42] <fawkes28> nope [19:42] <mollywobbles23> What if it's like mace or pepper spray and it "gets in your eye" too? [19:42] <JaneMarple9> no [19:42] <Poet> No, but the secrecy sensor sounds cool. [19:42] <vera> not really [19:42] <Expelliarmas> The quill is nly something Skeeter would pick [19:42] <mollywobbles23> nope [19:42] <JaneMarple9> or Hermione smile [19:42] <fawkes28> by the time you remember what youve forgotten it would be too late [19:42] <Aislinn> its a risk, but I think its useful [19:42] <yellowpepper2311> lol [19:42] <Poet> If I was a reporter, I might need the quill to take notes for me as I ran away from danger ;) [19:42] <x0ginnyW0x> I didn't pick any of those, they seem like more trinkets that I would own in an instant, rather than something actually useful (which I wouldn't ow of course" but I was tempted [19:43] <harryfreak359> Secrency sensor would go off and warn your enemies that you are around [19:43] <Expelliarmas> the rememberall tends to be a bit useless, imo, as it doesn't tell you what you've forgotten, only that you've forgotten [19:43] <Poet> Ah - smart thinking harryfreak359 [19:43] <Ravendor> I agree, Expel [19:43] <Aislinn> that's what I think too expie! [19:43] <vera> what does the revealer do? [19:43] <Expelliarmas> the scales? would I weigh my enemy or what? [19:43] <vera> reveal your enemies? [19:43] <Poet> Reveals hidden ink [19:43] <harryfreak359> lol expel [19:43] <Expelliarmas> just a moment while I weigh the problem [19:43] <x0ginnyW0x> reveals secret messages written on paper [19:43] <Aislinn> lol [19:43] <mollywobbles23> oy [19:43] <mollywobbles23> lol [19:43] <fawkes28> lol they could trip over the scales? [19:43] <JaneMarple9> :D imagining weighing Lord Voldemort biggrin [19:43] <vera> oh yeah, now i remember. doesn't sound useful [19:44] <mollywobbles23> make the women DEs weigh themselves? [19:44] <x0ginnyW0x> Crabbe and Goyle found the scales useful in HBP if I remember correctly biggrin [19:44] <Expelliarmas> or throw down the scales ala crabbe or goyle, but that would make noise [19:44] <harryfreak359> "excuse me, could you step on the scales and wiegh yourself before we duel" [19:44] <knightbuspassenger> the secrecy sensor would be useful, especially during a war where you don't know who to trust anymore [19:44] <JaneMarple9> :D [19:44] <yellowpepper2311> folks, gotta go. bye! *waves* [19:44] <Poet> Bye [19:44] <harryfreak359> bye [19:44] <Ravendor> lol, Expie [19:44] <Aislinn> bye [19:44] <JaneMarple9> bye pepper [19:44] *** Ravendor has quit [Bye] [19:44] <Theoriser> Only 15 minutes left, everyone! This has been a great chat! I want to remind you all that this transcript can be found at the Corner Booth Forum http://www.leakylounge.com/Corner-Booth-f184.html. [19:44] *** yellowpepper2311 left #lounge [] [19:44] <vera> I prbye [19:44] * mollywobbles23 imagines the big scale on Celebrity Fit Club [19:44] <Poet> If they could have a very quiet vibrate function on the secrecy sensor perhaps. [19:45] <fawkes28> wow that was quick [19:45] <mollywobbles23> time flies [19:45] *** Ravendor has joined #lounge [19:45] <JaneMarple9> too quick sad [19:45] <vera> what? that's all? [19:45] <Ravendor> stupid computer [19:45] <Expelliarmas> Lastly we had Sneakoscope, Telescope, Time-Turner, Two-way mirror, Wizard's wireless? Which did you pick? Did any of you not choose choose time-turner? Why not? [19:45] <harryfreak359> why waste your time...if you are in danger you probably already know who is your enemy [19:45] <JaneMarple9> where's that time turner? smile [19:45] <Aislinn> none of them [19:45] <mollywobbles23> nope [19:45] <x0ginnyW0x> I didn't choose the time turner [19:45] <fawkes28> didnt pick any [19:45] <Ravendor> nope, none of thoes [19:45] <Ravendor> *those [19:45] <Expelliarmas> The sneakoscope is too noisy. [19:45] <JaneMarple9> none [19:45] <x0ginnyW0x> I think it's too picky with the situations that can be fixed [19:45] <vera> the time turner could be useful [19:45] <Expelliarmas> The telescope, what'd I use that for? [19:46] <JaneMarple9> might be useful yes [19:46] <harryfreak359> again same problem with the sneakoscope...to much noise, it would let your enemies youa re aorunf [19:46] <x0ginnyW0x> I mean you can only fix something that you know hasn't happened yet, but is going to happen [19:46] <Poet> I would take that time-turner and get out of the danger. I'm not brave. Maybe I could sneak up on my enemy instead of him sneaking up on me. [19:46] <harryfreak359> are around* [19:46] <Theoriser> I picked the two way mirror, it could be useful to communicate to somebody else with [19:46] <JaneMarple9> To see Mars maybe? [19:46] <Expelliarmas> The time-turner is too confusing, but might be useful [19:46] <x0ginnyW0x> You can't go back and fix something that's happened already [19:46] <JaneMarple9> Lend it to the Centaurs? [19:46] <vera> why not? [19:46] <Aislinn> right ginny [19:46] <x0ginnyW0x> it's already done [19:46] <mollywobbles23> with a time-turner you have to worry about not only your enemy, but other self seeing you [19:46] <Expelliarmas> the two-way mirror implies you've got someone to talk too [19:46] <Theoriser> the time turner might be useful, but you'd then have to try and avoid your previous self and all of that [19:46] <fawkes28> time turners are too dangerous [19:46] <Aislinn> yes, the time turner could cause more problems than it fixes [19:46] <fawkes28> it might cause more trouble [19:46] <Ravendor> yeah [19:47] <harryfreak359> the telescope would be useful..so that you could check the stars and predict whether you are going to live tongue [19:47] <fawkes28> they were lucky last time [19:47] <Expelliarmas> no idea what's I'd do with the wizard's wireless, play some soothing music before getting AK'd, I reckon. [19:47] <mollywobbles23> you could rip a hole in the space-time continium [19:47] <fawkes28> lol, hf [19:47] <JaneMarple9> :) [19:47] * mollywobbles23 has a sudden urge to watch Back to the Future [19:47] <vera> lol [19:47] <x0ginnyW0x> Like in POA, the only reason it worked was because Sirius's soul hadn't been sucked out yet, but in OOTP they couldn't go back and save Sirius bcause he was already dead [19:47] <vera> true [19:48] <Ravendor> true [19:48] <Expelliarmas> I didn't pick the time-turner because I find it so confusing; I'd likely go back too far [19:48] <harryfreak359> hmmmm....didn't buckbbeak die? [19:48] <JaneMarple9> Your right, the timeturner doesn't work all the time [19:48] <Poet> What if both you and your enemy had time-turners... Can you imagine chasing each other through time while trying to avoid your present selves and others? Cool, but also crazy. [19:48] <mollywobbles23> no [19:48] <Ravendor> I know I'd mess something up if I used a Time-Turner [19:48] <x0ginnyW0x> no [19:48] <Expelliarmas> How hard was it to pick only three items? What if you could only pick one item? Which would it be? [19:48] <x0ginnyW0x> he never died [19:48] <x0ginnyW0x> the trio never saw him die [19:48] <Poet> Buckbeak never died, the ax always hit the fence. [19:48] <mollywobbles23> They didn't see it [19:48] <vera> broomstick [19:48] <harryfreak359> cloak [19:48] <JaneMarple9> can't change things and the past self and the future self may be seen [19:48] <Ravendor> probably cloak [19:48] <x0ginnyW0x> Broomstick [19:48] <fawkes28> one it was so hard to just pick three [19:48] <mollywobbles23> it was really hard [19:49] <Aislinn> it was really hard to just pick 3 [19:49] <mollywobbles23> I think the extendable ears would be useful [19:49] <fawkes28> because u didnt know how she was judging it [19:49] <Expelliarmas> very hard, but doable [19:49] <JaneMarple9> Imagine Neville with a time-turner smile [19:49] <vera> i didn't even see them all the first time [19:49] <Aislinn> just one? probably the cloak [19:49] <Expelliarmas> If limited to one item, for me it's the Cloak [19:49] <mollywobbles23> I love Neville, but please do not give him a time-turner [19:49] <harryfreak359> nononono I change my mind...darkness powder [19:49] <Ravendor> I think the cloak would be useful in the most situations [19:49] *** harryfreak359 has quit [Bye] [19:49] <Aislinn> if you can effectively hide, you can hopefully escape [19:49] <JaneMarple9> I'd go for the cloak too! [19:49] <Expelliarmas> Do you think in Book 7 someone will be in a position where, like Macgyer of the old tv show "Macgyver," they have to get themselves out of a dangerous and impossible situation with just a few items on hand? [19:49] <Poet> Some people can train themselves to see through cloaks - we learn that in Fantastic Beasts - because some learn how to find the demiguise. [19:49] *** harryfreak359 has joined #lounge [19:50] <Theoriser> hmm, well it has happened to them a lot already so I would say yes [19:50] <vera> It is possible [19:50] <Aislinn> yes, I think that's going to be what happens a lot, as they hunt the Horcruxes [19:50] <Ravendor> maybe, yeah, probably [19:50] <vera> you can do lots with a wand and a cloak [19:50] <mollywobbles23> I went with the cloak, potion-making kit, and broomstick...I would pick extendable ears too if I could [19:50] <Poet> It always seems that they just scrape by, but it is usually their wands and one item that helps them - like Felix Felicis. [19:50] <fawkes28> they should bring all those items...just in case smile [19:51] <JaneMarple9> As long as Harry had Hermione with him...who knows everything...and a invisability cloak...I think Harry is pretty safe [19:51] <vera> I hope he is [19:51] <Expelliarmas> It seems like if it's the trio, they might have a few things on hand like the ears to spy on folks [19:51] <Expelliarmas> but then they used it already in HBP, so I don't know [19:51] <harryfreak359> yeah,I think so too [19:51] <mollywobbles23> "As Harry watched, Hermione made the device that would kill Voldemort with a paper clip, gum, and floo powder. [19:51] <vera> Hermione will come up with new things i think [19:51] <mollywobbles23> " [19:51] <harryfreak359> lol [19:51] <Ravendor> haha [19:51] <Aislinn> and duct tape [19:51] <mollywobbles23> Of course, can't forget duct tape [19:51] <Expelliarmas> Actually, I think Fred and George will come up with new things [19:51] <Aislinn> biggrin [19:51] <Poet> Felix Felicis being an example of having just wands and one item to help themselves out of an emergency [19:52] <harryfreak359> me too Expel [19:52] <mollywobbles23> It keeps half the pickups in the South in one piece [19:52] <Expelliarmas> they've become their own sort of defense industry [19:52] <JaneMarple9> What would happen I wonder, if Harry took some Felix Felicies before meeting LV for the final dual? [19:52] <Poet> Yeah [19:52] <vera> i'd brew a bucket of that [19:52] <mollywobbles23> I can say that because I'm from the South [19:52] <Expelliarmas> Lastly, what do you think she is trying to tell us with these tests? Are there hints to the end of the series tucked in? [19:52] <fawkes28> or maybe she is trying to tell us that none of these things will help harry in the 7th book LOL [19:52] <harryfreak359> possibly [19:52] <x0ginnyW0x> Definitley [19:52] <mollywobbles23> I think there are definitely hints [19:52] <JaneMarple9> Yes there might be [19:52] <harryfreak359> lol fawkes [19:52] <mollywobbles23> Definitely, definitely. [19:52] <Ravendor> there are probably some hint [19:52] <vera> i don't think so, i mean i can't see anyy [19:52] <x0ginnyW0x> I think that little Jo does is without purpose [19:52] <Ravendor> s [19:53] <Ravendor> *hints [19:53] <Aislinn> its interesting to think that there may be hints in there [19:53] <JaneMarple9> but nothing surprises me in the Potter series smile [19:53] <fawkes28> i think there are clues but not clues to the "big" things that will happen [19:53] <Theoriser> I think there's some hints, especially with the focus being more on muggles [19:53] <Aislinn> does anyone have any ideas about what might be hinted at? [19:53] * harryfreak359 has learned never to say anything is for sure when it comes to this [19:53] <fawkes28> like people living or dying [19:53] <vera> we know that though [19:53] <Poet> I think it is for our entertainment, plus to show us some of the stuff going on over the summer (those polls for instance) [19:53] <JaneMarple9> so by the sounds of it it will be more about Muggles this time [19:53] <Ravendor> I doubt there is anything really important in it though [19:53] <vera> the bridge [19:53] <fawkes28> i think goblins could be important [19:53] <Aislinn> me too fawkes [19:53] <Poet> Ooo, yeah. I agree about goblins. [19:53] <mollywobbles23> me too [19:53] <Expelliarmas> Well, the situation in St. Mungo's might be an indication of the injuries in the war [19:53] <harryfreak359> I think vampires are going to be important [19:54] <vera> how [19:54] <vera> ? [19:54] <harryfreak359> and werewolves...and other creatures [19:54] <Aislinn> you think they are coming to the aid of Voldemort HF? [19:54] <Expelliarmas> also the oppression of the magical creatures, goblins and elves have been a them throughout the series [19:54] <x0ginnyW0x> I've got to run guys [19:54] <knightbuspassenger> I think the inferi are going to be important [19:54] <x0ginnyW0x> Great chat! [19:54] <vera> bye [19:54] <Ravendor> bye, ginny [19:54] <JaneMarple9> I am thinking Neville is going to be very important in helping Harry [19:54] <Theoriser> definately Expelliarmas [19:54] <Aislinn> bye ginny [19:54] <Expelliarmas> bye ginny [19:54] <JaneMarple9> bye ginny [19:54] <mollywobbles23> There will be a vampire with a soul, called Angel...oh wait. Wrong series. [19:54] <fawkes28> they think these creatures can still be influenced by either side... [19:54] <Theoriser> bye smile [19:54] <harryfreak359> Well I think that it will be kind of like werewolves, Aislinn [19:54] <mollywobbles23> bye [19:54] <x0ginnyW0x> Bye smile [19:54] <fawkes28> and it depends on who is nice to them and who can offer them what [19:54] *** x0ginnyW0x has quit [Bye] [19:55] <vera> true fawkes [19:55] <harryfreak359> a lot on Voldie's side and a few on the Order [19:55] <vera> voldemort is clever at that [19:55] <mollywobbles23> Neville rocks my socks [19:55] <JaneMarple9> werewolves? could they find a cure for Lupin and Bill? [19:55] <Poet> The tunnels and Hogsmeade point to a previous bout of war (between wizards and goblins) - I hope the goblins join our side, but I bet those tunnels will be handy again soon [19:55] <Aislinn> what about the other questions? any other clues there? [19:55] *** cloudpic has joined #lounge [19:55] *** Ravendor has quit [Bye] [19:55] <JaneMarple9> And mine Molly, he's definatly a major character [19:55] <fawkes28> muggles are in danger [19:55] *** Ravendor has joined #lounge [19:55] <JaneMarple9> Hi Cloud [19:55] <harryfreak359> Muggles are also going to be important I think [19:55] <Aislinn> ooh, cloud, you're just in time for goodbyes [19:56] <harryfreak359> hi cloudpic! [19:56] <cloudpic> ack! [19:56] <fawkes28> hi cloudpic [19:56] <Ravendor> hey, cloudpic [19:56] <cloudpic> Sorry to have missed all... [19:56] <Expelliarmas> I really hope we won't be seeing any hags anytime soon [19:56] <JaneMarple9> whats the topic for tomorrow? [19:56] <Poet> WOMBAT 1 had a lot of questions about laws. I wonder how the Ministry of Magic will handle the situation in Book 7 as things fall deeper into war. [19:56] <mollywobbles23> I think Muggles will play some role, but not a major one since she introduced the Muggle minister. [19:56] <harryfreak359> you came in just in time for the group hugs smile [19:56] <fawkes28> no sooner with the steel toed boot This post has been edited by Theoriser: Oct 14 2006, 03:36 PM |
