AmanitaMuscaria now - Oh, no! bboy_mn, why'dyou have to say that?!?
I thought quidditch and broomsticks and conjuring bluebell flames was 
good enough, but no diets?!
 I agree though, Harry learns to summon his broom and debates 
summoning an aqualung for the second challenge; if the rules of 
physics didn't apply (can't get something from nothing), he could 
have created a broomstick, I guess. More to the point, wizards and 
witches wouldn't rummage about in their robes for various items, 
they'd just *magic* them.
Cheers. AmanitaMuscaria
