This Top 5 Wednesday topic really made me think… Most of really interesting (and helpful) fictional items that I know of come from the Harry Potter universe. But it would be silly to just name those when there are so many books out there! So I decided to choose just one item from Harry Potter. Here’s what I came up with in the end:
1. A Time-Turner (Harry Potter Series)
My first choice from Harry Potter would definitely be a Time-Turner. Everyone needs more time! 24 hours a day is sometimes just not enough to do everything yoou need to do. But I would have to be very careful, and give this to a person who would not use it to change the past and make a total mess. (I’m looking at you, Barry Allen!)
2. A flying carpet (One Thousand and One Nights)
Why not a magic lamp, you ask. Well, people always wish for the wrong things, and they often get tricked… So a flying carpet is a much better gift. And if it’s as cute as in the Disney Aladdin movie, even better. 🙂
3. Dorothy’s silver/ ruby slippers shoes (The Wizard of Oz)
With these, you could basically teleport yourself wherever you want to go. Do I need any more explaining to do? Free travel!
4. Hoverboard (Back to the Future)
Not from a book, but still fictional. I know some people who would be really happy to have one. 🙂
5. Mary Poppins’ bag
A bag that fits everything! Very, very practical for the people who like to travel. (I don’t know if she has one in the book though, I only watched the film, sorry…)
So, would you be happy to get some of these as a gift? Or is it just me? XD
