As we all know the
changing face of Wizardry and magic over the years led to some interesting
diversity among the various wizard schools throughout the kingdom. Not the
least of which was the building of the new Hogwarts Academy of Modern Apprenticeships know
to all as Hog-Watts. It got this nickname from its rather successful electronic
engineering apprenticeship for wayward wizards who were rather more practically
based rather than magic based in their skills.
Of course when the new
wing of Hogwarts first opened all was not well, many of the old traditional
Professors as well as students were far from happy with what they saw as a step
into the world of Muggles. It was not
helped when a very elderly Professor Dumbledore told one of the new Electronics
classes, he found the situation shocking. Which only made the class snigger as
one of the students connected him to a high voltage cable to make his eyes
light up, (not quite the sort of shocking he had in mind). But times change and the days when a wizard
could make a decent living from selling strange potions or fighting the
terrible forces of darkness with a dodgy wand made from hazel wood were passing
fast.
You see it was now up to
the new enlightened professors with their Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics
and superconductors to attract the best students to Hogwarts so the School
could charge the Ministry of Magic huge fees to teach the new (modern and progressive)
class of wizards.
Professor Brian Cathode-Cox
Pixilation or Sparky as he was known to the students was head of the new facility
and through his skills and guidance made Hogwarts what is today. He is most famed for his development of the
light sabre, the Death Star and his very popular r2d2 Quidditch automated
adjudicator which he developed after several suspect referee decisions.
there were those however who
just could not deal with all the modernisation and new teaching methods at
Hogwarts and one in particular a Professor Rubeus Hagrid ran off to join up
with a chap called Darth Vader who paid him a rather large sum of money for the
detailed plans to several of Professor
Brian Cathode-Cox Pixilation’s inventions. Apparently they both lost the plot
completely and had delusions of taking over the entire universe. With their
terrible battle cry. . . . High Ho
silver and away . . .
I would tell you more
about this, but I find myself sat in a dark cave hiding somewhere in Middle
Earth with some sort of Hobbit critter called Dobby who keeps saying he needs
to find the ring. I think he has lost the plot also. It appears we have to stay
here and lay low for a while because a huge army of copyright lawyers from
several well known films are in pursuit saying I am a plagiarist and a bad one
at that . . . . . . . As for Dobby he is saying something about . . . ET Home Phone he wants . . .Rob Z Tobor
idiot me so Thinks I do. . .
Ooo o o o o hang on what’s that
Is it a Bird, is it a
Plane. . . . No it appears to be sword stuck in a large stone. Well that’s a
bit odd.
Hi human, Rob,
ReplyDeleteIt seems that Harry Pothead has morphed into a bit of now your Tolkien type stuff, mixed with a dash or two of Rob Z. Tobor!
Where is Merlin when you really need him?
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Hello Penny . . . Now that was a fast response indeed. If you can fetch sticks as fast Penny then I think we might have an Olympic place for you in a couple of years time.
DeleteHope you and Mr G are both well
That is an interesting difference in your art, the human shape as a silhouette.
