Modern Back to Hogwarts! | Self-stirring Cauldrons, Super Quills, Safety Measures, More!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss what a modern back to Hogwarts would look like. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:19 Self-stirring cauldrons. Potions class is a staple of Hogwarts, so why should wizards and witches have to stir their own cauldrons? The value of the class is gaining an understanding of what potions do and which ones to use in different situations. It is that knowledge that gave Harry the best help, not actually how to make them. And if you find yourself in a situation in which you need to make a potion, the cauldron is probably going to be self-stirring anyway. ·      8:21 A gossip device. The DA uses gold coins to get in touch with all their members, so why wouldn’t such a device exist for the public to talk without having to send an owl? Something like the mirrors that Harry and Sirius used to communicate could be a very useful product for the Hogwarts market. ·      15:40 Super quills. Even back in Harry’s day, there were self-spelling quills. Now, there are quills that could probably do something similar but much better. I could take my quill and ask it to write an essay or draw an advanced diagram without having to touch it once.·      21:59 Safety measures. From classes to quidditch, there is no end ot the number of dangers at Hogwarts. Putting a limit to how close the students can get to dangerous creatures and making sure that the professor is the only one to handle dangerous potions or plants are great ways of making this better. Additionally, putting some kind of safety net for quidditch or making sure bludgers don’t kill are also great ways of making it safer.  [email protected]
