    . K. Rowlings 7-part

    story, stolen from the

    real life occurrences

    of Harry Potter and

    his friends written for

    the Muggle world,

    has ay cm t a d. Da-iel Radcliffe, who portrayed as

    the wiarding worlds Harry Pot-

    ter, alongside with Emma Wat-son, Rupert Grint, and Matthew

    Lewis, are off on their own ad-

    ventures in their Muggle world.

    After Rowling made a for-

    tune from Harry Potters story,

    this rogue witch decided to write

    her own content. Recently, she

    released a story based on class

    and other social tensions. The

    Casual Vacancy is Rowlings

    rst wrk sic sh st Pt-trs if stry t s as a ctibk t Mggs. Th bk wasreleased the Sept. 27, 2012.

    As for the Muggles whoportrayed Potter and his friends,

    their careers are far from coming

    to an end. Their success, due to

    th rg witch, startd ad sky-rcktd with th Harry Pttrsris, bt w th cast is f-ing their careers and moving on

    from the wiarding world.

    Going after their dreams,

    th cast has mad a mark i thircareer but it is only the begin-

    ig fr thm. Dai Radciff,Emma Watson, Rupert Grint,

    and Matthew Lewis are no lon-ger part of the Harry Potter cast

    but are separately succeeding in

    Hollywood.

    Dai Radciff, wh wasHarry Potter in the copied and

    stolen series, stars in the Muggle

    world on Broadway as the lead

    in a musical titled, How to Suc-

    ceed in Business without Really

    Trying. He was also the star in a

    m titd Th Woman in Black,which was released the 3rd of

    February in 2012. Radcliffes

    career seemed to only improve

    aftr mimickig r vry wPotter.

    Emma Watson, who played

    Hrmi Gragr, th kw-it-all and frumpy friend of Potter,

    is doing as well as Radcliffe. She

    is starrig i th w m adap-tation ofThe Perks of Being a Wall

    Flowerbased on the novel by Ste-

    ph Chbsky. Additiay, shis studying abroad in Oford.

    Watson wishes to complete her

    senior year at Brown University.

    Muggle-born Rupert Grint

    played Ronald Weasley, the gin-

    ger with the hand-me-down

    robes. Grints success now lies

    withi a WWII m, Comrade,about British and German sol-

    diers that are stranded in the

    Norwegian wilderness and are

    frcd t wrk with ach thrin order to survive. Further-

    more, Grint is to star in the

    biopic of Eddie the EagleEdwards, who was an Olympic

    ski jmpr wh bcam a Brit-ish fk hr i th 1988 WitrOlympics.

    The rest of the cast, such

    as Matthew Lewis who played

    Neville Longbottom, have re-

    ceived scripts for various plays,

    decided to return to college, or

    have dabbled in television and

    documentary writing and pro-

    duction.

    These Muggles who have

    startd thir carr by mimick-

    ing the life of Potter, Granger,Weasley, and the rest of the

    wiarding world, which the

    Muggles are taught to believe is

    cti, ar w grat actrs adperformers with a bright future

    ahead of them. As for Rowling,

    she now writes using her own

    content that is not stolen from

    our world. One critic, Carmela

    Ciuraru of the San Francisco

    Chronicle, states that The Ca-

    sual Vacancy is no masterpiece,

    but it is a good escape. Even in

    the absence of a certain boy wi-

    ard, the novel succeeds as a so-called page-turner.

    Rowling and the cast of

    Pttr ms hav brght thseven-part story of Harry Potter

    to life in the Muggle world and

    now succeed on their own. It is

    curious to wonder how Rowl-

    ings career would have been if

    she did not steal Potters story.

    You are welcome, Rowling.

    y kw jst hw mch yand J.K. Rowlings series have

    inspired Muggles? Those of

    us who have been forever im-

    pactd by radig J.K. Rwigs bksabout your world and your hero, Harry

    Potter, have gone on to create some in-

    credible things together. We have learned

    life-altering and forever memorable les-

    sons from the golden trio, and all of

    the other characters we encountered

    r jrys thrgh th bks.As I k back ths bks, I

    continue to recognie more themes, and

    how much they have impacted not only

    my life, but the lives of my entire gen-eration. Through these novels, we have

    learned about the power of love and the

    importance of friendship and bravery.

    We have learned about the corruption

    that power brings, that arrogance can be

    a downfall, and to have a healthy amount

    of distrust to authority and the rules.

    Hermione shows us the importance of

    qaity thrgh hr ght fr hs-elves. Shes a strong, intelligent female

    role-model who must face her own un-

    fair prjdic. Frm Sap w ar hwpowerful love is, and that people can al-

    ways change, always. We learn countless

    sss frm Dmbdr thrghtthe series, and from Harry, we again see

    th sigicac f v ad fridship,which can overcome all else, and that

    we are what we choose to become more

    than the situation we are brought into.

    The Harry Potter series has inspired

    us to create parody musicals and the-

    ater groups, an entire genre of music

    drivd frm r kwdg f yrworld, Youtube comedy puppet shows,

    conventions that bring thousands of

    fans together, Muggle Quidditch teams,

    documentaries, college classes, and

    friendships. All of these creations and

    eperiences derived from Harry Pot-ter and the wiarding world, have made

    life-changing impacts for innumerable

    Muggles. It has created a new genera-

    tion of reading enthusiasts, and has

    mad rmarkab impacts r vas.One of the most important impacts

    that Harry Potter has made, to me, is in

    the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA). The

    HPA is a -prt rgaiati thattaks ispirati ad paras frm thbks t mak psitiv chag i thMuggle world. We of the HPA stand

    for equality, basic human rights, literacy

    and education, and all of these things,

    we are able to learn about and appreci-ate within the Harry Potter series. Just

    as Hrmi stads agaist th ijs-tices of the treatment of house-elves,

    w ght simiary agaist iqaity.Because of Harry Potter, a community

    IMAGeS: SHelBY eMleY, GRYFFInDoR 16On Oct. 14, 2012, Griffins Quidditch traveled to the University of Maryland

    (UMD) at College park and competed in a 16-team tournament. The first match

    pitted the Griffins against the University of Virginia Whomping Willows. Un-

    fortunately, the Griffins were defeated, but kept energetic as they competedagainst Dumbledores Army, a mercenary team and narrowly lost by the op-

    ponents snatch. Last in their pool was Johns Hopkins University Quidditch to

    whom the Griffins lost, despite CHCs snatch. After rankings, the Griffins were

    pitted against U Virginia again, but walked away the victors. Moving on, they

    faced Johns Jopkins again, and put up a good fight despite losing. Overall,the Griffins were proud to have competed at UMD and left in good spirits. Theultimate victor of the tournament was UMD who had defeated the Pennsylva-

    nia State University in the final match. Top left, Cristina Diaz 14 , who was

    injured before going to UMD coached the team for the day. Middle right, Lanie

    Duff 16, chaser, stares down a John Hopkins beater. Bottom right, Steph Reif

    f y kw a thig abt wad-r, y kw that wads ca bconquered from person to per-

    son. A little owl has told me that

    the greatest wiards have had their

    wads tak frm thm. Dspitthe reassurance that this has happened to

    the best of us, rumor has it even Merlin

    himself, it did not soften the blow of hav-

    ig my wad prid frm my grs. Maywd agr that yr wad is ik a x-tension of yourself. I would have rather

    lost my left or right ear to a sepersectrun

    spell than my wand. It pains me more than

    I ca bar. Bt mr! By a th magici this wrd, I swar I wi gt it back. Myold wand was heavy, rigid, stiff and as stub-

    born as I am. With a phonei feather core

    and measuring 12 1/2 inches long, it was

    trmdsy qick ad amaigy acc-rat. It ft prfct i my had. Dspit mybest efforts, I can manage my replacement

    wad th sam way. It is t sk, sight-ly more ornate, with a dragon heartstring

    core and measuring slightly larger than the

    last. Now let me clarify one thing: while I

    miss my old wand dearly and with all my

    hart, I d t wat it back fr its magica

    prprtis, I wat it back as rvg. I pato master this confounded new wand and

    grow with it. The saying goes, the wand

    is only as good as the witch (or wiard).

    Since I am one of the best, this wand must

    wrk fr m. Y ca bt yr bttm ga- I wi gt my d wad back, strictyfr my w pac f mid. Bt I kw imy heart I will master this new wand, and

    wh I d... Watch t Wsty Madsk!

    The History of CHC QuidditchChestnut Hill College

    Quidditch began in the

    fa f 2008 dr th as-pices of fun and love of

    Harry Potter. Under the

    early direction of Kim

    Cooney and Krista Bai-

    ley-Murphy, Quidditch

    th Hi rishd.CHCs rst t-

    ing of the Quidditch

    sport, World Cup III,

    was hosted at the ac-

    kwdgd birth-

    place of Muggle Quidditch,

    Middlebury College of Ver-

    mt i nvmbr 2009. ThGrifs prfrmd w at thistournament in November and

    left Vermont with a sense of

    pride for their sport, placing

    fth vra. latr that mth,an awards ceremony was held

    for the team to recognie their

    performance and view the doc-

    umentary of the World Cup

    made by Kate Sprandio 10.

    The First Philadelphia

    Brotherly Love Cup was

    held in the fall of 2010,

    hosting a grand total of 7

    teams. Largely an intramural

    event, Chestnut Hill College

    dd fr tams amdafter the Hogwarts houses

    (Gryfdr, Hfpff,Ravenclaw and Slytherin).

    The Villanova University

    At World Cup IV, the

    International Quidditch

    Association (IQA), now

    the leading organier of

    Quidditch, moved the

    tournament from Ver-

    mt t nw YrkCity. At Dwitt Ci-t Park th

    lower West Side,57 teams made an

    appearance. The

    Grifs paydvaliantly but

    couldnt quite

    tak hmthe gold.

    Brotherly Love Cup was held

    in the October 2011. This

    Tramt was th rst tfeature collaboration between

    the Quidditch Board, the Col-

    lege and the town of ChestnutHill. That year, the Brotherly

    Love Cup and Harry Potter

    over 1,500 spectators to the

    camps a ad iky jst as

    peting, four of them Chest-

    high school tournament. Teams

    from 24 states and from as far

    away as Vaasa, Finland came to

    mak thir mark Qidditch.All of this eisted in the

    midst of a carnival of enter-

    Quidditch has become a

    Third Annual Philadelphia

    create even more fond memo-ries with this sport of champi-

    inspired its own Quidditch

    board, an ad campaign run by

    th schs agcy 160/90 adnumerous other Harry Potter

    themed events. For this and

    many years to come Quidditch

    will continue to be a piece of

    the school and its student body.

    Could you de-

    tail your nding

    of Nargles lastyear in Central Europe?

    Finding the Nargles was

    an amaing eperience.

    Its brilliant having one

    of your lifes dreams re-

    alied. My husband, Rolf, and I

    were out on one of our epe-

    ditis. W wr takig thrwks t k fr th MFrg, actay. Sm wto the moon and brought a bag

    f thm back as prf bt thyescaped him when he landed.

    ufrtaty, w didt dany Moon Frogs but it waswdrf t ay s smNargles. The little creatures are

    etremely mischievous. In fact,

    thats how I was eventually able

    t d thm. Whi w wrcamping on our epedition,

    w tic thigs wd jst gmissing at odd times and they

    would show up in the strang-

    est places. One night, all of

    our shoes went missing and we

    found them three days later tied

    together sitting on a tree stump.

    I began to suspect Nargles tobe the culprits when I noticed

    there was a fairly large amount

    of mistletoe in the area. Nar-

    gs ar kw t ifst mist-toe. After noticing this, I put a

    trackig charm sm f myitems in hopes they would steal

    them. When they did, all we had

    to do was follow the spell. Rolf

    and I were so happy. Having

    long been thought to be etinct,

    this was a wonderful discovery.

    What compelled you

    to go into the feldof Magizoology?

    The summer before my

    fth yar, my fathr adI went to Sweden to at-

    tmpt t d a Crmp-Hrd Srkack. My fathr

    was so sure they eisted. He

    once even acquired an erum-

    pent horn believing it to be the

    horn of a Crumple-Horned

    Srkack. It was sf thgh,it helped Harry Potter and his

    friends when it was hit by an er-

    rant spell, when my father tried

    t mak a da with Vdmrtby echanging them for me.

    Which I dont condone by theway but I understand my fa-

    thers reasoning. However, I do

    consider them to be very good

    friends and it was not right for

    him t giv thm p ik that.

    Could you tell us a

    little about your up-

    bringing, and your

    father, Xenophilius Lovegood,

    publisher of The Quibbler?

    Well, sometimes things

    wr a itt difct as

    I didnt have a mother.She died when I was

    i. Sh ray jyd tryignew, eperimental spells. One

    of them, unfortunately, went

    horribly wrong; it was awful.

    Dad aways did his bst thgh.H wd tak m a t fadvtrs t k fr cratrsh kw xistd. W spt a tf tim tryig t d th Crm-p-Hrd Srkack. I raybelieved everything he told me

    back th. As I gt dr, I ra-ied he wasnt always right and

    I accepted that the Crumple-Hrd Srkack dst x-ist. Ad y watd t kwabout The Quibbler? Well, its

    much more trustworthy than

    th Daiy Prpht. Sic Dadwas th ditr, I kw v-rythig mst b tr ikths is td by Rita Sktr.

    The Quibbler always offered

    full support to Harry Potter.

    Where do you plan

    your next adven-

    ture?

    Rolf and I are cur-

    rently planning a trip

    t Sctad t kfr th Bd-Sck-

    ig Bgbar. My rst yar atHogwarts, Hagrid mentioned

    thm thikig that thy hadkid tw rstrs. It actayturned out to be Ginny Weas-

    ley. She was possessed by Tom

    Riddles diary at the time so it

    wasnt really her fault. I really

    ik Giy Wasy; shs scha kid gir. Im vry gad sh

    and Harry Potter got married;

    they had such a lovely wedding.

    Do you believe thatthere are many un-

    discovered magi-

    cal creatures in the world?

    Of course there are

    many undiscovered

    magical creatures.

    Not all creatures are

    meant to be discovered or

    thy jst dt wat t bfd. W vr kw athe creatures in the world.

    Does the presence

    of Muggles makeit more difcult

    to care for these creatures?

    Not at all. Muggles only

    see what they want to

    see. Also, there is a lot

    of space all over the

    world where magical crea-

    trs ca b kpt safy awayfrom the Muggle population.

    I dt thik w vr rayhave a problem with Muggles.

    Would you like

    to share anythingabout your per-

    sonal life with The Grifn?

    Well, when at Hog-

    warts, I was sor ted into

    Ravenclaw. Ive always

    been very happy about

    that. Rowena Ravenclaw is

    somewhat of a hero of mine.

    She was a very smart woman.

    She once said, Wit beyond

    measure is a mans greatest

    treasure. I do very much be-

    iv that. I d jy paitig,

    also. At my childhood home,before it was destroyed by the

    erumpent horn, I had painted

    my friends on the ceiling. It

    had Ron, Hermione, Neville,

    Harry, ad Giy. Did I m-tion how happy I am that they

    are married? They even gave

    their little girl the middle name

    Luna. I was very touched.

    Im married now to Rolf Sca-

    mander, hes also a wiarding

    naturalist. We have two sons

    named Lorcan and Lysander.
