I have been trying "Lumos" for a few years now and no luck. I still gotta get up and put the damn light on myself.

*Sigh*

Now that sounds like a fun idea -- reprogam a "clapper" to respond to "lumos" and "nox" instead of claps...

Here we go again! I can't believe that folks are still dragging out this paranoia about the Harry Potter books/movies. Given the huge number of people who have seen the movies or read the books, why do we not have a rash of kids killing themselves by jumping out a second floor window with a broomstick?

I'll tell you why. Because an eleven year old kid has enough sense to know that Harry Potter is not real! It is a shame that a bunch of completely uninformed adults do not have the same level of common sense.

I would truly like to know how many of those who mindlessly bash the HP series have actually read the books. By the way, my family thoroughly enjoys the HP series and always look forward to the next movie or books release. Both my children attend our local Christian school and we all believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The HP books have done nothing to shake that belief. Harry Potter, like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Alladin, etc. is escapist fiction that only a complete idiot would take seriously as fact. I am sure that this won't be the last time I have to address this idiocy on a FR thread. (I'm going to see POA tomorrow, BTW. I sure hope that I'm able to apparate there and back properly ;-))

I have a mystical relic passed down to me by the previous owners of my house. When I approach the garage door, I activate the item, and the door magically opens!

You might want to try the "Clapper" spell.

'Alohomora' has worked a couple of times for me.
