30 Day Harry Potter Challenge ~ Day 23



Today Is: 

Day 23: Favorite magical object




I am going to go with Howler for this one. The sheer enjoyment of watching the kids on the movie opening one and then add to their reaction was something I never got tired of. Also the thought of this happening to me while I was at school would be so ever terrifying. I do like the concept especially since the kids left home to go to school and hardly see their parents this was a good way to know that their parents were still involved with their lives and cared. 

From Wikipedia
A Howler is a blood-red letter sent to signify extreme anger or to convey a message very loudly and publicly. When it is opened, the sender's voice, which has been magically magnified to a deafening volume, bellows a message at the recipient and then self-destructs itself by burning. If it is not opened or there is a delay in opening it, the letter smolders, explodes violently, and shouts the message out even louder than normal.[HP2] In the film version, the Howler folds itself into an origami-style set of lips and teeth and shouts the message out, and then shreds itself into scraps of paper before it burns itself.
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsRon Weasley receives a Howler from his mother, Molly Weasley, after he steals his father's enchanted car and flies it to Hogwarts with Harry. Neville Longbottom confesses that he had once gotten a Howler from his grandmother, stating that he ignored it and that the result was horrible. Subsequently, Neville receives another Howler from his grandmother after Sirius Black uses his list of passwords to enter the Gryffindor Common Room in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Hermione receives one in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire after Rita Skeeter publishes an article about the (fictional) relationship between Hermione and Harry. (In the film version, this incident is not referred to.) Dumbledore sends Harry's aunt, Petunia Dursley, a Howler in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to remind her of the agreement to allow Harry to live at Privet Drive when Harry's Uncle Vernon attempts to throw him out. (This incident is not referred to in the film version.)
