!st Meeting of Charms Club
Well hello all my lovely members! I know this is pretty early after I posted the application, but I figure now is as good a time as any to post the first activity. I am still accepting applications here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/hh_clubs/1188.html
For reference here are a few links that may come in handy:
The Harry Potter Lexicon's Encyclopedia of Spells: http://www.hp-lexicon.org/magic/spells.html
Latin-English Dictionary: http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/
Our first activity is going to be a discussion. If you make a really intelligent, thought inspiring post it'll be 5 points to your house. There are no prizes associated with it as it's just a discussion of a spell from the books.
The Accio Charm is quite possibly one of the most used spells in canon. We saw Harry use it superbly in the first task of the Triwizard Cup while facing down a dragon. While clearly picturing what you wish to summon towards you you declare "Accio ____!" How do you think this spell could be used in the real world? How would certain famous people/ celebrities/ politicians/ people in power use it? How can it be incorporated into society? On the other hand, how could it have a negative effect on society? What are the positives and negatives?
Debate is encouraged, but keep it peaceful, any outright fighting may have to maake me deduct points and I don't want to have to do that. Have fun and enjoy!
Your lovely leader,
Jay
New question: What do you think will happen if two people Summon the same object at the same time?

Can you accio things that arent yours? For example, could a purse snatcher just run by and Holler "Accio Purse!!" and grab your unguarded possession. Or could I stand outside Sam Goodys and say "Accio Jimmy Buffett CD" and have it come flying to me without purchase? Or do you believe there is a certain law that allows only things that are yours or are available to anyone (like accio leaf on the ground, whyever you may want to do that...)? Maybe the ability to take things that arent yours is guaged on how powerful you are as a witch or wizard. Like Dumbledore could take something from a student, but a student wouldnt be able to steal something from Dumbledore. I dunno, any thoughts??
