Potter things we wish were real (and glad aren't)

Potter things we wish were real:

1. Quidditch – Forget the glorified game of tag they play at Collins — we want the real thing, 40 feet in the air, Bludgers and all.

2. Invisibility Cloaks – You wouldn’t need a fake ID to get into Kilroy’s anymore. Just don’t expect to get a T-shirt.

3. Animagi – Honestly, everything about this is awesome. Except maybe if you turn into a toad.

4. Time-Turner – You really could pass out at three, wake up at 10, go out to eat and then do it again.

5. Room of Requirement – Sexiled? No problem! And maybe people wouldn’t have to live in lounges.

Potter things we’re glad are not real:

1. Time-Turner, again – On second thought, you do not want to give frat guys that much power over the time-space continuum.

2. Moving Staircases – Nobody would ever make it to the third floor of Ballantine, and Sycamore Hall would be the Bermuda Triangle of campus.

3. Acromantula – You wouldn’t want to run into one of these in the middle of Dunn Woods.

4. OWLs and NEWTs – We already have SATs, ACTs, GREs, LSATs, MCATs…

5. Quick-Quotes Quills – Imagine what FOX News could do next!
