Miles laughed when Professor Dumont conjured up the picture of the rather beautiful looking mermaid, if the merpeople were actually like that, he'd be swimming in the lake more often. Hehe. "Wow, that a really bad perception of mermaids, sir. Though, I wished they looked like that ..." He trailed off in a rather pleasing thought. He grinned as he listened to what the younger Gryffie said. "Oh! I love that! I haven't seen the .. moooviiee." - Miles kind of remembered what that was from another Muggle Studies lesson. "But I've read the tale. It's awesome!" It wasn't THAT girly, and so sad at the end. Sniffle. "They use mermaids a lot when attracting muggles to ... maybe an exotic sea themed holiday? Maybe to make it more fantasy like? And by that picture, they use mermaids to sell, bottled water." Miles snorted. He turned to Jack when he said the mermaid's name was Pearl. "... Or is it Flipper? ...." Noooo. |
SAtine shot her hand into the air, "There was an older book...something like Oddepus or Odeapus or something that had mermaids in it. The mermaids were more like the way we know them though...they were called sirens and would lure the sailors into a whirlpool....or something like that..." after she had spoken she regretted it because she sounded like she didn't know what she was talking about. |
Demetria raised her hand. "There's a movie that is very popular with the younger muggles called The Little Mermaid. She sings and has fish friends and ends up marrying a muggle man." she explained. So unrealistic. "There's another movie I know of called Aquamarine where a mermaid promises two muggle girls three wishes if they help her find true love." Again, very unrealistic. |
Professor Dumont didn't seem himself at all, and she was upset because of it. She hated that his office was flooded and he lost everything. All because of some silly underwater hissy fit. Paris raised her hand. "There was this movie called Splash and then I think another one called Auqumaria. Or something like that." she told him. She hated that movie but she did like the Little Mermaid. "But sir wouldn't we rather have muggles guessing and getting things wrong about the magical world than them getting it right? Well as it pertains to entertainment that is." she asked. |
"Sadly, and mistakenly..." Emiliano started to raise his hand ready to answer, "that's how they see the merpeople...and with their attractive image as they imagine it, they use them as attracting marketing to visit a touristic place...and there are a various type of movies and Muggle series on TV that portray their image as so..." He commented, pointing to the image shown by Professor Dumont. "I believe...there is as talking to movies, The Little Mermaid, Splash..." He may have said a few of the oldest movies possible that took merpeople as beautiful creatues, not like the ones he had heard and seen of the last years. |
Daniel wanted to answer but his knowledge was insufficient to know the muggle movies. He had heard of some that his godfather talked about, but it was minimal. If only his godfather was here, he can answer these questions. |
"Very good," Antonio told the class. "I know everything is in disarray right now so I won't hold any of you up. I was going to do another lesson, like I said, but the circumstances here at the castle left me unprepared. I will go ahead and post the homework now, though, and good luck to all of you." With that, Antonio pulled out his wand and posted the following on the board behind him - Quote:
