Have you looked at the application?

I mean, it's simple enough but why do you think they want to know how many hours a week we spend reading? or exercising? I thought the point was to demonstrate fitness with the actual exercises.

And then those situation questions! 'You see a fork in the path. One path leads to a forest, the other to a castle. Which do you pick?' Oh, and the one about walking down the sreet at night and witnessing a robbery? What do they want you to say?

It's like they don't give you enough information to choose, you know? Is the robber a wizard? Is the castle as far away as the forest? Is it day or evening and would there be any shelter?

At least there's a proper essay topic. And no more PMs to famous people.

I thought the PMs to famous people were very nice! I got a lovely reply from that lady at the Ministry. Which reminds me that I really do need to apply myself more to my Divination...

As far as the questions, well, I think they're a bit naff, but if you just say something that sounds clever you'll be fine, especially on the forest one.

I wasn't going to at first, but I had a long firechat with Mum a couple of days ago and she convinced me that I really ought to.
