Mary Ellen January 26, 2012 at 10:18 am: Too funny! That probably would have been my answer as well.
Luisa January 26, 2012 at 11:51 am: SURELY they received partial credit!
pj January 26, 2012 at 4:23 pm: Classic!
(My appreciation is greatly enhanced by a skewed sense of humor and exposure to a proliferation of similar off-the-wall answers at a local school district.)
Arabella Figg January 26, 2012 at 5:11 pm: Love it! And the round thing is…?
Kat January 26, 2012 at 5:33 pm: @Arabella: **raises hand frantically like Hermione** Ooh ooh, I know! The Resurrection Stone!
Susan Raab January 26, 2012 at 7:36 pm: @Arabella: **in undertone to Harry, like Ron** I’ve only skimmed book one, so it looks like the Sorcerer’s Stone to me.
Teresa January 27, 2012 at 12:47 pm: I love it!
Eeyore January 27, 2012 at 12:57 pm: LOL – I saw this a few months ago on facebook. I love it. And if I’d been the teacher, I would have given credit for the answer – just for creativity. And then I would have done a little reteaching on the geometry bit.
pj January 27, 2012 at 2:49 pm: Ooooh yes, Eeyore! A wizard’s Cross-Curriculum opportunity (Arithmancy, History of Magic, DODA, Wandlore). I wonder about the Muggle teacher’s actual response? Would she/he have asked for a one-page (11-inch parchment) report on DH or dismissed the idea out-of-hand for fear of Muggle reprisals?
