My originality marker...



1) If someone was brave silly enough to own a pet Basilisk, they’d need a mirror with which to look at it, in order to reduce death to petrification. For instance, I know my neighbor knows not to look at his without something like this…



2) To calm a Bowtruckle enough to remove wood from its tree, you’d need to offer it fairy eggs…



3) A good sturdy pair of shoes is all that’s needed to rid oneself of a pogrebin that might be tailing you. If a stunning spell doesn’t work, just kick it…



4) If you’re going to breed any type of magical creature you need blankets to keep the babies warm…



5) Nifflers are superb creatures for collecting gold, but you need shiny coins to attract them in the first place…
