Harry Potter Moment of the Week- Owls! Owls! Owls!


I am participating in Harry Potter moment of the week hosted by  Uncorked Thoughts .  Here is what we do:

This is a meme hosted Uncorked Thoughts.  The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/ films/ J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! She will be picking a topic within HP for us to focus on each week and then if anyone wants to take part feel free!  There is now a full list of the topics to come here.

Q. This weeks question is a freebee so I am going to talk about the owls of the Wizarding World.

 A. I love the idea of having owls as pets. First off I love owls. They are such magnificent animals!  Then I read the Harry Potter books and they bring these birds to a whole other level.  Pets who understand what you say, fly around and get your mail, I love it!  The Ministry of Magic formerly used owls for interdepartmental memos, but switched to enchanted paper airplanes because owls made too much mess with their droppings and shed feathers.

















One of my favorite owls is Ron's owl Pig!  So cute.  Of course also Hermes and Errol!  Can't forget those owls!












Would you pick an owl for your pet at Hogwarts?  Or would you pick a cat or toad?  I did pick a cat at Pottermore myself. Poor beautiful Headwig.. what an amazing owl.  I love how Harry grew up with him.  The snowy owl's lifespan in captivity is 28 years so this owl could've lived a very long time.
