I can't see Hogwarts sponsoring slam books (any more than muggle
junior highs, middle schools, or the equivalent).  I can,
however, easily picture someone starting one "unofficially," and
the fad catching on.  A Hogwarts-aged Rita Skeeter immediately
comes to mind.  Or how about Pansy Parkinson, or even Lavender
or Parvati.

I'm trying to picture what magical properties it might have.  A
Truth Pen (forget the tact!) for example.

Hmmm, the possibliites.


Melanie, who remembers a much more benign (if boring) slam book,
including favorite actor/actress, favorite movie, etc.
