There Really is Magic in Our Ocean
With the help of donors like you, Ocean Conservancy is developing innovative solutions to save our ocean.
If you stop and think about it—as we often do here at Ocean Conservancy—you will realize that there is astounding beauty and magic in the ocean. And, as a team of Harry Potter fans, we tend to see parallels between the fictional world of wizards and the real world of our ocean.
Arctic Terns have no need to use floo powder or apparate to travel long distances. They possess mighty wings and have one of the longest known migration routes, traveling up to 90,000 kilometers in one year. Could Hedwig fly this far? We doubt it.
Polyjuice potion to change your appearance—the mimic octopus can do this without the unnecessary potions and tricks. The mimic octopus can impersonate 15 different species by changing its color and texture or change the way it moves its arms to impersonate a variety of other marine species. Talk about magical.
This brings us to wondering what ocean species relate closely to our favorite Harry Potter characters. So, pull out your wands, fill your cup with butterbeer and join us on a magical journey beneath the waves to the depths of the ocean.
Sea Otter: Harry Potter
OK, it’d be ridiculous if we didn’t tie Harry Potter to a sea otter… Harry Otter, get it?! I am sure we are the first to make that connection. Thank you, thank you very much. Round of butterbeers for us.
But, the more we thought about it—the more the connection made sense. Sea otters get all the attention in the ocean—just like Harry Potter.
Sea otters are also considered a ‘keystone species,’ meaning their role and impact on the environment is valued greater than others. Another striking similarity to Harry—he is the main character—the chosen one.
Octopus: Hermoine Granger
Octopuses’ incredible intelligence has earned them the title of the smartest invertebrates in the world. Eight hands-down the smartest of all the Harry Potter characters is Hermoine Granger. She pieces together puzzles that perplex all the other characters and she outsmarts her opponents.
Beluga Whale: Ron Weasley
Both are known for their unique appearance and social nature. They are also both very loyal. Belugas show a strong loyalty to specific small places within their habitat, to which they return again and again. Belugas are also instantly recognizable by their stand-out color—just like how Ron is known for his fiery-red hair. Both stand out in a crowd!
Manatee: Neville Longbottom
Calm, easy-going and lover of plants!
Unfortunately, their inability to get out of the way causes them both harm. Neville is hit with a full-body freeze by Hermoine in book one and sometimes slow-moving manatees are hit by fast-moving boats and sustain terrible injuries—too bad Madam Pomfrey can’t magically heal of the hurt manatees.
Blue Ringed Octopus: Bellatrix LeStrange
Do NOT mess with the blue ringed octopus. Do NOT mess with Bellatrix LeStrange. We think that is all to say here…
Dolphin: Albus Dumbledore
Dolphins are incredibly intelligent and known for their fantastic tricks—just like everyone’s favorite Hogwarts headmaster. Dolphins are expert problem-solvers, and are known to use innovative tools and communication to work together to tackle challenges. While dolphins may not have discovered the 12 uses of dragon’s blood, they are naturally curious—which is a trait Dumbledore surely would appreciate.
Clownfish and Sea Anemone: Fred and George Weasley
We immediately thought of clownfish when we thought about the Weasley twins. Driving Argus Filch absolutely crazy—Fred and George Weasley are the comic relief built into the Harry Potter books. In addition to the humor, we also noticed a relationship similarity. Clownfish have a symbiotic (long-term mutually beneficial) relationship with sea anemone which is a fish-eating plant-like animal that has venomous tentacles. Just like the Weasley twins have a symbiotic relationship with one another—the closest of friends—trusting and depending upon one another to get by.
Goblin Shark: Voldemort
Scary. Terrifying. These two are truly what nightmares are made of. If I were to wake up in a cold sweat after a terrible nightmare—it would be because I was thinking of a goblin shark or Voldemort.
Blue Whale: Rubeus Hagrid
We will round out this blog with my favorite ocean animal: the blue whale and my favorite Harry Potter character: Rubeus Hagrid. Large and kind to other creatures—big and small—seem to sum up both the blue whale and Hagrid. Blue whales are the largest animals ever to live on Earth and Hagrid is the largest of the main characters in Harry Potter. Blue whales tend to be more solitary than other whale species. And, Hagrid tends to keep to himself, for the most part, in his cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Finally, blue whales are also one of the loudest animals on Earth—at times, Hagrid’s loud and booming voice can be heard echoing through the halls of Hogwarts up into the Gryffindor Tower.
There you have it—the magic of the ocean! Take time out of your busy day to take a deep breath and look at the natural world around you—I bet you will find magic in the most unlikely of places. Get outside, explore and let your mind wander.
Do NOT mess with the blue ringed octopus. Do NOT mess with Bellatrix LeStrange. We think that is all to say here…
They fear that writing with these pens can result in the curse taking effect in their lives. Some people even go as far as to claim that the curse can be transferred to others or linger in the area where the pen is kept. This belief has led to these pens being seen as objects to be avoided or destroyed. However, it is important to note that the concept of cursed word pens is based on superstition and personal beliefs rather than scientific evidence. There is no concrete proof that using these pens leads to any negative consequences. In fact, many people view them as harmless novelty items or simply collectibles with no real power. Ultimately, whether or not one believes in the power of cursed word pens is a personal choice. Some may find amusement in owning such items, while others may prefer to steer clear of them out of fear or superstition. Regardless, it is essential to separate fact from fiction and make decisions based on personal beliefs and values..
Reviews for "Cursd Word Pens in History: Legends, Myths, and Folklore"
1. Melissa - 1 star - I was extremely disappointed with the cursed word pens. Not only were the words difficult to read, but the ink was also very faint and inconsistent. I found myself having to go back several times to rewrite words that were barely visible on the paper. Additionally, the pen itself was not comfortable to hold and write with for long periods of time. Overall, I would not recommend these pens to anyone looking for a reliable and quality writing instrument.
2. John - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the cursed word pens, but unfortunately, they fell short of my expectations. The idea of having curse words written on the pens seemed fun and trendy, but the execution was lacking. The ink would often skip, leaving gaps in my writing, and the pens would frequently leak, resulting in messy hands and stains on my paper. The words on the pens were also difficult to read and seemed to fade over time. Although the concept is unique, the functionality and quality of these pens need significant improvement.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I purchased the cursed word pens as a gift for a friend who enjoys quirky stationery items. However, upon receiving them, I was disappointed to find that the ink quickly dried out after only a few uses. The curse words on the pens were also poorly printed and looked smudged, making them illegible. The overall quality and durability of these pens were subpar, and I regretted my purchase. I would advise others to think twice before buying these novelty pens, as they do not deliver on their promise of providing an enjoyable writing experience.
4. Michael - 1 star - I found the cursed word pens to be a complete waste of money. The ink ran out after minimal use, making them useless for everyday writing tasks. The curse words printed on the pens were also juvenile and made me feel embarrassed when using them in public. Furthermore, the pen grip was uncomfortable and caused my hand to cramp after extended periods of writing. I was not satisfied with this product and would not recommend it to others who are looking for a reliable and well-made pen.
