  1. I would use a nice, big fan which would hopefully blow away the seagulls, thereby saving my lunch from attack. If that doesn't work, I wouldn't worry, as I've got quite a few tricks up my sleeve. I might add some colourful balloons around my picnic spot so that my location would be fun and cheerful, and, I might have the added advantage of confusing or distracting the seagulls for a while. If all my options die, there is one which I know will save me. A Seagull Supervisor! Why not invite one of my friends over to join my lunch and help me out in shooing away the seagulls?! Like they say, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
  2. Fortunately, he managed to debate with the Acromantula's children and convinced them to leave him alone.
  3. Platform 9 ¾ is indeed one of the most iconic locations from J.K.Rowling's books. It has been a symbol of transition from the normal muggle world to the ever-fascinating magical world. I think that the entrance to the platform is amazingly hidden from Muggles. At a train station, which is a very crowded place bustling with chatter, trolleys and trunks, everyone will be in a hurry and there will be lots of hustle and bustle. So, the chances are low that anyone will notice the witch/wizard disappearing into the wall. It's a simple method too, ensuring that witches and wizards of all ages can easily access the magical platform.
  4. A trip to Diagon Alley for me, would mean refreshing my shopping skills after a long break. To begin with, I would stuff my bag full with money from Gringotts Bank and then, without a second thought, I'll be heading to Flourish and Blotts. Oh, the smell of fresh parchment and new books. I would buy all the books for the school year along with a few 500-page books for some light reading. Next stop, Quality Quidditch Supplies! Being an ardent fan of Quidditch and an awesome flyer, I would definitely be keeping this shop at the top of my list! After a bit of fun, I would be heading to the Magical Menagerie to take a peek at all those adorable little creatures and maybe even convince my parents to get me a second pet! To end the day on a happy note, I would take a trip to Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour with my friends and enjoy some delicious ice cream! Ah! What a fantabulous day!
  5. Monopoly is one of the games which is deeply engraved in my mind when it comes to fun and memorable games. Although, I don't own Monopoly myself, I used to visit my friend's house regularly during the holidays and we would spend hours and hours playing this classic game. One of the best things about Monopoly, is that now, there are many different versions of it! For example, there is the Disney, Barbie, Marvel, Banking and so many more. Each time my friends and I play, our main goal would be to own more cash and locations than each other! Often, during the middle of the game, we would conduct a session in which we would bargain with each other and exchange cards. What fun! Sometimes, a simple game of Monopoly lead to arguments and quarrels, but nevertheless, we would always make up! I would definitely recommend everyone to play this board game as it will foster a sense of fun, togetherness and will increase your business skills! :D
  6. The game of Basketball as we know it, was invented by a Canadian physical education instructor by the name of James Naismith in the year 1891 in Springfield Massachusetts. This game was meant to be a less injury-prone sport than football and keep young athletes indoor and in shape during the cold winter months. As the 20th century progressed, the game began to to spread and grow popular, first in America, then all over the world! The American National Basketball Association, which was established in 1946, grew to a wealthy, multi-billion dollar enterprise by the end of the 20th century. However, a game similar to basketball was mentioned in a book published in Frankfurt am Main in the year 1591. Among many other things, a game of expertise is described in which balls must be thrown against a target which was woven from twigs and mounted high on a pole. When the target is hit, the player gets a small reward. At the beginning, basketball was played according to Naismith's 13 rules only. Now, there are numerous rules including sub-sections and articles. The first Olympic Basketball Tournament was organized in the 1936 Berlin Olympics on outdoor tennis courts.
