I wish I had an Invisibility Cloak or some Polyjuice Potion. I'm only 150 pages into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and would like to continue reading it uninterrupted. However, pesky reasons stand between me and finishing the book (for example, having to earn a living, paying the rent, etc.). I did find some Polyjuice Potion on eBay, but my cunning plan to feed some to my cat so he can masquerade as me at work -- while I stayed at home to finish the book -- was thwarted by that smart creature's refusal to be turned into a clumsy, bumbling Muggle. I also found several Invisibility Cloaks on eBay but -- apart from the fact that it probably wouldn't fit me -- Laura, my boss, has a Marauder's Map which helps her see exactly where her team members are at work, and what they're up to. Curses!!
I haven't given up, though. There's so much Harry Potter stuff on eBay (including Marauder's Maps), that I'm convinced at least some of it is really magical and will help me finish my book in peace. At the very least, I'll try to find the Muggle coworker whose car I spotted in the eBay parking lot. Seems like their other car is a Firebolt! Perhaps I can borrow it to zip home quickly at the end of the day and continue my reading.
