  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. 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?!!

  I think that as a child, we inspect the smells and tastes of quite a lot of things that as adults, we would never admit to having experimented with. Most of us stop at the vile smell of things, while the more adventuresome have a go at a taste. How many of us know what blood tastes like?
  As for my favorite magical things, the mirror of Erised ... I can see myself in it, sitting in the darkened theatre, surrounded by my favorite HP merchandise, watching the 7th HP movie, while clutching an autographed copy of JKR's surprise 8th book, "Harry's Adventures After Hogwarts", while munching on some Bertie's Every Flavor Beans.

  My second favorite thing would have to be Floo Powder ... what a great way to travel! I live in Iowa, where you have to brave the cold, warm your car while scraping and defrosting your windows, before venturing out on icy, snowy roads while snow is falling and/or blowing. To just jump into the fireplace and arrive at the mom's would be divine. (I do wonder, though, what one could do to prevent being dropped in on by unexpected, unannounced visitors... like when the house is not up to snuff or you are entertaining *wink* *wink*)

  Doreen, whose house is always up to snuff, and who never entertains, and has a bridge to sell
