Hi,

I don't remember whether this has been broached (lovely word, never used it before) in the 
past. If it has - my apologies to the veterans here.
I spent quite a while on Saturday morning, instead of doing all the things I should have 
been doing, trying to decide what are my favorite HP magical objects or features. In the end 
I decided that the three top ones (not in any particular order) are the Sorting Hat that 
sings, Bertie Botts All Flavor Beans and the Weasley's ghoul in the attic.
The Sorting Hat because there's something so funny to me about the mouth that appears and 
the different song every year. Also I can't write verse to save my life, and that makes the 
hat extra admirable for me.
The All Flavor Beans I think because it reminds me of the fascination new food and new 
tastes had for me as a child.
The ghoul I find extremely funny because of the nonchalant way that its mentioned as a not 
very exciting feature of the house. 

So, I thought I'd put it as a question for you guys here - what do you find most 
imaginative, funny or otherwise exhilirating in HP? 



WARNING to the squeamish - ignore next paragraph!

On a different note, but related to Bertie's Beans - Does anybody else find it highly 
suspicious that Dumbledore recognized the taste of earwax? Vomit I understand, even bogies I 
understand (yuck), but earwax?!!
