But they MUST have regular clocks.  Remember Hermione's finals schedule in 
PoA (Ch. 16, "Professor Trelawney's Prediction")?  I'm sure we can cite 
other instances where so-called Muggle times were used in the wizarding 
world.

So I think that most modern witches and wizards have access to both kinds of 
timepieces... magical and regular.

On the socks thing:  I enjoyed the essay, but personally hate socks with a 
passion and do without them whenever possible.  (From May until October, 
they're at the bottom of a drawer collecting dust!)  While we're doing 
essays on things that occur a lot in the books, include the letter H... she 
uses it for main characters (Harry, Hagrid, Hermione), significant places 
(Hosgmeade, Hogwarts, Honeydukes), and even an important holiday in the 
books Halloween).

"Those who have ceased to love
Have not ceased to need,
Those who have ceased to care
Have not ceased to bleed;
Do not weigh the words that
Never ask, the minds that never
Seek, nor mark the averted faces,
But see the heart."

--Jean Toomer, Harlem Renaissance poet (c. 1947)
