How come in the wizard world the STILL use quills and candels and all that 18th century stuff? I mean, I know that maybe lightbulbs wouldn't work there but they could at least use pens!
Still, I kinda like that they still use that stuff. I've been looking for a decently priced quill cuz I wanna try it!
i have no idea! why don't they use light bulbs? i don't know! and ron weasley is so totally mine!
Lol. I don't really know. ^~^; But electrisity and magic don't mix well, so they use candles....but I'm sure they put all these spells on them to work just as well as lightbulbs, if not better! :D
And quills....I dunno, maybe they like using them! ^^;
I have a quill! :D
me too! and i have a bottle of ink! to make parchment is easy. u take plain paper, and put it in tea for a while, take it out, ant let it dry..then u have parchment! ;D
hey that's a cool idea em. i think all u really have to do is get a turkey feather or something like that and use it.
hey fleur, why at the bottlom of ur signature it says
heartdraco? what does it mean?
???
Yeah Emily! :D I had to make parchemnt in 6th grade! :) It took a lot of work, but it turned out really pretty! ^_^
i love writing with a quill!!!! I might even use it in school next year...
I got it at the House of Seven Gables shop in boston, but that is a lot closer for me than anyone else here....
I would suggest anywhere that is a historical site, ive seen them all over those places, specially gift shops. :)
To make paper look old, you can always but it in the oven... You wet the paper slightly with a wet tea bag, and then put it in the oven at like 200 degrees F, but you need to watch it, cuz it doesnt take long at all.
DISCLAIMER: Its not my fault if you try this and it doesnt work, or if you get hurt, maimed, or die in the process... this is only a suggestion
actully sway, do u live in Mass.? so do i! i live like 15 mins. away from RI. and most of my family lives in salem!
I have a torch and a quill!.
then maybe I can make parchment.......
I have a quill and ink... and I used to have parchment. I got it at a store called 'Moon Spire'... dunno if it's anywhere but where I live...
They can't use lightbulbs 'coz you can't use muggle elecricity at Hogwarts because the strong magical hold keeps it from working. But I don't know why they don't use pens and regular paper.. maybe to keep the cultures distant and different from the muggles? ???
yeah...I suppose....how come when harry's at the dursley's he uses a quill instead of a pen or paper?
he should use a pen! they're alot quicker to write with!
I know.....
*shrugs* Who knows! ^^; But it does make it more interesting. :)
Oh Shui! Where did "Moon Spire" go?? ??? Isn't it suppost to be in the neon-lighted stip mall thingy? o_o We can't see it! :(
All I know is that they moved down the street from the old Abco where they used to be. *shurg*

oh. *hands Ron a tissue* I hope that helps. *wipes eyes*
I dunno....sp'ose it will....*takes the tissue*
hehe *passes the box around* everyone take one!
U would think that they would use a pen and paper but i think J.K Rowling was trying to make it seem that u were really in a 18th century wizarding world. Not the 21st century wizarding world.
