Hi Dan,
I like the idea of quills in the HP series a lot! Simply because it
*is* very foreign to us now. If they used pens of 'our day' it would
blunt the whole effect of the 'wizarding world.' Although, I must
admit that using a quill like the 'Quick Quote' one Rita uses would,
likely, be the norm if they were looking to increase the speed of
their writing. Hmmm, a thought just struck. Why in the age of tablet
computers do we still use pens and pencils voraciously? Perhaps,
because they are more affordable, disposable, and flexible? I would
never buy a PDA because that's a lot of money down the drain if I
every lost it. If I just lost a pen, not a problem. ;)
I have a glass quill with five different colored bottles of ink. I
bought it a long time ago (before Harry Potter). At least, I think
that it could be considered a quill as you must dip it into the bottle
of ink and it is fashioned like a spiral near the tip. I thought it
was very unique and although it wasn't as convenient as a ballpoint,
rollerball, etc it was fun to write with, occasionally. Since I enjoy
collecting and using unique pens to write with it was 'just the ticket.'
