Vox Pox: The Deathly Hallows!

Ahoy, matey! The Cow, the Fish and the Riceball are back with our favorite topic-- Harry Potter! YAY! There are so many things to discuss about Harry Potter but we're only going to be talking about ''The Deadly Hallows'.

What indeed is 'The Deadly Hallows?'


❝The Elder Wand, he said, and he drew a straight vertical line on the parchment. "The Resurrection Stone," he said, and he added a circle on top of the line. "The Cloak of Invisibility," he finished, enclosing both line and circle in a triangle, to make the symbol that so intrigued Hermione. "Together," he said, "the Deathly Hallows.❞




The symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

Basically the Deathly Hallows revolve around a myth of three brothers known as the Peverells, who all at once crossed Death (that’s right, in capital) and managed to escape it by defeating a deadly obstacle with their magic. So Death pretended to congratulate them by awarding them with a desired gift. And we all know the saying “be careful what you wish for”, which leads us to wonder whether the brothers did indeed take heed to this warning?

❝The eldest brother asked for the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in existence which is able to perform extraordinary acts of magic. It is said that the owner of this wand would have to master Death in order to utilize the extreme power of this wand.

The second brother asked for the Resurrection Stone, which brings back shadows (and ONLY shadows) of the holder’s loved ones. However, these shadows are mere ghosts and do not possess any living thing. They will appear as long as the user holds the stone.

Lastly, the youngest brother asked for the Cloak of Invisibility, which would hide the user (yes, even from Death itself) and not fade in age and provide everlasting protection to the wearer, something that no normal invisibility cloak could perform.

Obviously, the youngest was the wisest (aren't they always?) and so when Death claimed the lives of the first and second brother, he/she could not find the third. When the youngest brother grew old, he took off the cloak and handed it to his son and welcomed Death.❞

What a nice story. And now, for the topic for today:

"Which Deathly Hallow would you choose if given the choice and why?"

Thomas Lee Jian, 12 

Lots of lame answers at first... but he managed it.



Sai Lin Rou, 14 



Sticking with invisibility seems to be the safest.

Trina Yong, 12





For causes bad and good... interesting.

Trinity Chua, 14 





And in case you're reading this, Tri, the font's Georgia-- just like your middle name!


✨══ ✨ END OF INTERVIEW ✨══ ✨

After some intensive stalking for pictures and running around, we managed to fish out (get it? FISH out?) some very interesting and intriguing answers from each of our participants. Although they might have got the concepts of the Deathly Hallows a little wrong, it's alright all the same. As we can see here, out of 4 teens between the age of 12 and 14, only 1 out of 4 would go for the Elder Wand. Very modest, aren't we?

Anyway, we'd like to thank all the participants for taking part in our last minute vox pox(es), and sorry if the pictures embarrass you. Thank you for reading, readers, and until next time, au revoir!
