"So... If you would all tell me which is your favourite of Beedles tales and why it is your favourite. For those of you who are muggleborn or just not familiar with Beedles work, go ahead and tell me about a muggle fairy tale that features magic users."
Hmmmm. Cela hadn't ever really thought about it. She didn't really... know that muggle females weren't portrayed in a positive light but now that she thought about it and raised her hand, "Professor, magic doesn't discriminate based on gender. I think that has a whole bunch to do with how girls are portrayed in our stories."
She listened to the next question and raised her hand again, "Oh! Well I like Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling stump because it mostly conforms to the laws of magic so its really.... real. And it has an animagus in it even though Beedle didn't get all of that stuff straight as far as what an animagus can and can't do in its animal form."
