Muggle Field Trip Challenge Update (1) |
| Ron leans over too far to see all the coins people throw into the fountain that he falls in. Hermione, getting fed up with his antics and not thinking clearly, whips out her wand in public to dry him off. An elder, touring couple walk over and ask her what she does with a stick. Caught off guard and having nothing to say, Harry comes to her rescue. “Oh, that. A couple of days ago we were touring in the countryside. Our guide was trying to point out something but couldn’t reach it. So I gave her that stick to do the job. It’s become part of our tour.” “Er, yeah. I hold private tours to pay my cost of university.” She finally spoke. The couple nodded in an understanding and walked away, not realizing that the red-haired young man that fell in the fountain was totally dry. This is just an example to help give you ideas for a story. |

Eric, how is your fic coming along?????

We do have sticks and batons and pointers in the muggle world, don't we?
(Although, now I've just remembered the green laser pointer I've got on my SPR... wonder what they'd make of that. Green laser, folks. Up for metaphorical grabs if anyone wants the bunny.)

carolquin-- I haven't even started it yet. Under the circumstances, writer's block is extremely embarassing. I'll probably get started the evening of April 30. Eric B.

Could a Muggle animal, such as a squirrel, count as an "object that the students have trouble understanding"?

werekitten-- Wizards and Witches are not from the planet Gallifrey. They are not so separate that they are in awe of something as simple as a squirrel. Now on the other hand, British Wizards who have no access to the Animal Planet Network may not know what a panda, kangaroo, bison, jackalope, or duck-bill platapus are. It is up to you as to how you want to present everyone; there are a number of possibilities. Have fun! Eric B.

I've been on hols for a couple of weeks and come back to this fantastic challenge. Its so great in fact, that I've written almost my entire entry in one afternoon!

This is a great example! If I was shameless (don't say it) and wanted to plug one of my stories, I would introduce you to Surfer Ron. The point is that we can produce some wonderful storylines with this opportunity. Wizards seeing television for the first time? Imagine your reaction if you walked into Diagon Alley. Imagine as well the possibilities when Ron walks into his first fast-food establishment. If nothing else, this Challenge was meant to be fun. Trust me (except those three people there that insist that I owe them--- Ouch! Ouch!) Eric B. (or what is left of him)
