10. Owls
Moodle will be a thing of the past with owl mail in effect. You’ll receive all your course updates, test outlines, and emails through your feathered friend. No more faulty connections, annoying usernames, or complicated passwords.
9. Marauder’s Map
Have you ever had a five-hour break between classes and wondered where all your friends or classmates were? Well, with this, you’ll know where your friends are all the time! This handy little aid will ensure you never have to spend a moment alone… ever.
8. Cloak of Invisibility
Just tripped over your own feet in the hallway? Too scared to dine-and-dash? Slip this on and be gone! With this unique piece of fashion, you can coast around campus undetected. Sneaking into class will also be a breeze. But really, who goes out of their way to sneak into class?
7. Room of Requirement
In here, you will find whatever you need: study guides, lecture slides, audio recordings—you name it! When the doors disappear, you can stop worrying about cell phones beeping and loud conversations interrupting you.
6. Time-Turner
Having a time turner would not only prevent you from being late to classes and exams, but also from running into class conflicts. A Time-Turner is extremely advantageous for the eager student who wishes to take a 50-credit course load—or for those less eager students who need more time to cram.
5. Felix Felicis Potion
Take one sip, and you’ll be enchanted with luck for an entire day. Be prepared to win all your textbooks at the York bookstore, have that midterm you didn’t study for get cancelled, find the last chair in the library, and have that cute girl or guy you’ve been eyeing in lecture sit next to you.
4. Pensieve
By borrowing a fellow classmate’s memory of a missed lecture, and reviewing it in the pensieve, you can avoid trying to read their terribly handwritten notes. Additionally, the pensieve would be an excellent source for historical knowledge using memories extracted from older professors.
3. Flying Broomsticks
Forget the TTC, the GO Bus, parking fees, and high gas prices. When you get on your broom to get to campus, nobody asks to see your Metropass. But bring a coat because it will get chilly quickly.
2. Auto-Answer Quill
This one is a no-brainer—literally. You don’t have to go to a single class when this useful little piece of hardware scores you 10/10 on every quiz or test. Simply wave it over the questions, and all the answers will appear. Warning: does not work on Scantron cards.
1. Wands
Any number of magical miracles can be performed with wands. You can repair broken glasses, bring paper airplanes to life, extend the inner dimensions of your backpack to those of a small room, and put protection charms on your unattended stationery. Best, or maybe worst of all, you can use curses to control your professor’s mind.
