No: HPFGUIDX 21321

This week's contest requires some speculation.  We all know from the 
HP books that while some wizards and witches live in places like 
Hogsmeade, and others live in out-of-the-way places like The Burrow, 
some, like Mrs. Figg, live in muggle communities.  These wizards and 
witches must have to pass as muggles by disguising their magical 
characteristics.

But some of us muggles are suspicious.  Are there people who you 
think are really wizards or witches in disguise?  Tell me who they 
are and why you think that they must be magical.

For example, I think that Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez must 
be a wizard.  (I apologize to non-Americans and/or non-baseball fans 
who won't understand this.)  If you have ever seen him pitch, you 
know what I mean.  Somehow, his pitches defy the laws of physics -- 
they shoot out of his glove at almost 100 miles per hour, then seem 
to turn 90 degrees and fall to the ground over home plate.  No way he 
is not using magic.

Anyway, that is the contest.  Send your entry to me at 
HP4GUcon at aol.com (I will send you a notification that I have received 
your entry; if you don't get one re-send it to joym999 at aol.com)

Remember, don't post your entry to the list!

I will be extending the deadline for this contest, since I get the 
impression that 4 days is not enough time for most people.  If you 
have any thoughts about this, email me.  I will decide the date for 
the submission deadline based on what everyone thinks.
