| - After getting into this funny invention called a "car," we were off and headed to Symphony Hall for what the Muggle Studies professor calls "an orchestra show." We were told we had to fit in. Imagine if thousands of witches and wizards arrived by broomstick. Those muggles would be so scared. They're clearly of faint-heart. It was a whirl of colors and sounds and somehow we found ourselves in a brightly lit lobby. It is almost as gorgeous as the Grand Hall at Hogwarts! How muggles manipulate "electricity" is beyond me. Clearly floating candles would be more majestic and appropriate.
I wonder if Minister Shacklebolt warned the local muggles that Hogwarts was doing a special show in town. There was a flurry of activities for the odd muggle children. So many people were dressed as what they perceive wizards and witches look like. How peculiar. The Sorting Hat was in attendance and putting children in different houses. There was also a wand making area where squibs can feel more like a witch or wizard as well. Pointy metallic objects were being thrown around and I was worried that it'll gouge my eye out. If one of the filthy little muggles threw it in my hair or my face, I would have thrown out a Bat-Bogey Hex regardless of the professor's watchful eye. I later learned that the muggles call it "glitter."
The show started at 2:30PM and the lights turned off faster than you can say, "Nox!" The professor and the Gryffindork with us couldn't find our seats and an usher had to help us. Had we been allowed to cast "Lumos," we wouldn't need the silly muggle to help us with her portable tube-thing with the light on the end. A wand is so much more classy. I was half-expecting Filch and Mrs. Norris to pop out and give us all detention but lucky for us, the muggle was nice. Anyways, it was an hour of beautiful music and the acoustics was amazing. Not a bad seat in the place! Who knew a trombone and a harp can make such hauntingly beautiful music? They acted out a skit with two Hogwarts student against a witch from the dungeons who was out to steal the conductor's wand. At one point they told everyone to stand up to help cast, "Expelliarmus." Had the professor not been sitting to my left, I would have cast, "Avada Kedavra." Clearly it's a sure-fire way to defeat a dark witch.
The show ended with a special tribute to a mouse. Who even has a mouse anymore besides poor Ron Weasley? I'm glad Scabbers died. Anyways, the tribute was for a Mouse... a Mickey Mouse. The composition was from Fantasia. You can tell the muggle children were lost while the adults all had a look of nostalgia. Anyways, now that I have Yelped my review instead of having to write a two-foot essay, extra credit is complete.
[Just got back from the "Halloween at Hogwarts" show today if you couldn't tell. Please don't take my Elite badge away because of my nerdom. Toodles from The Slytherin Empress!]
