I agree with this.  I would also like to add that in ceremonial 
magic, the writing instruments as well as the "paper/parchment" used 
to write on are very important to the magic as a whole.  Even though 
Harry and Co. are not using their quills/parchment to write out 
spells and "Books of Shadow" all the time, they are most likely 
encouraged to use quills as it is an integral part of wizarding 
lifestyle.

This is my first post so I would like to say Hello to all.  I've been 
enjoying lurking and reading here for a few weeks now.  I'm a stay at 
home mom to 6 kids -- I read the series after people started 
commenting about my twins (Seamus and Finnegan) being named after a 
character in HP!  My other son with an HP name is Cornelius.
