HW - Essay
As much as I would like to believe that someone could fly a broomstick to the moon, the mere fact that the story was published in The Quibbler makes me skeptical. The choice of journal or magazine to publish in is very important!
Throwing some math into the mix, the moon is, on average, 238,900 miles away from the earth. Traveling on top speed on a Firebolt, 150 miles an hour, that trip would take just over 66 days. And that is only one way! I don't know about you, but traveling non-stop for over two months sounds tiring. A journey to the moon on a Cleansweep Six would take even longer than on a Firebolt.
Outer space is not the best environment for a human, magical or not. I find it hard to believe that a Bubblehead Charm could survive the journey. There is also no sound in space, so all spells would have to be non-verbal, which are much harder to cast.
Finally, the moon frogs! I did not know they existed and I certainly don't have the time to head to the moon and check anytime soon!

This time, I present to you an advertisement for the Comet Trading Company. I think it is great that former Falmouth Falcon teammates Randolph Keitch and Basil Horton continued to work together after their professional quidditch careers. They even made the sport of quidditch even better and even more competitive with their Braking Charm. This ad is a tribute to them. Enjoy!
