eBay hates Harry Potter.
Or, at the very least, has it in for the Weasley twins. 
In their 2012 Fall Sellers Update, the Internet auction site banned “wizardly enchantments, magic spells and potions.”
Divination Professor Sybill Trelawne would also be out-of-luck, because psychic readings have been nixed as well.
What are they thinking?
Hogwarts would be a shade of its former self without Snape sneering in potions class. And with no deadly spells or enchantments to cast, Harry’s ultimate showdown with Voldemort would be no more. The whole legend up in smoke.
It’s just a book series, you say? Well, of course it is….
Now that eBay’s banned all the fun stuff.
Hat trick
I’ve said it before — people just love to judge.
At the recent royal wedding, Princess Beatrice became the focus of a virtual festival of judging. Did you per chance to see?
A Facebook page even popped up called “Princess Beatrice’s ridiculous Royal hat,” which has netted over 144,000 fans — er, judgers — to date.
Well, Beatrice has taken all that bad press and turned it into a big payday for charity. She placed the much maligned headpiece up for auction on eBay, with the proceeds from the sale going to UNICEF and Children in Crisis.
The recent winning bid? $130,000.
Talk about turning a negative into a positive! Seems that elaborate hat was just pointing out Beatrice’s smarts.
Judge that.
