#1 Obligatory: Sorcerers--why do they hate us?

It's good to see sorcerers and magicians keeping up with technology. The rabbit-out-of-the-hat trick was really getting old!

#2 So if you get too many evil souls stored in your mobile phone camera, does it become a toxic waste site, like in Ghostbusters, and become subject to EPA regs?

#4 it takes a very powerful wizard to put a hex on a mobile phone, and even then it doesnt always work as intended.

#6 biged - apparently the muggles have a very large organization of some kind (bigger than Gringotts, Im told) called Warmer Brothers (they must like heat) that sells both muggle objects, and purportedly magical objects. Be warned that none of these objects are in fact magical. Attempting to charm these false magical objects could be create tremendous confusion and will be treated VERY seriously by the Ministry.

#7 if you capture a soul with your cellphone, then lose signal, does the soul stay in the "frequently dialled" memory? Or lost in the ether? Is soul-sending part of the text-messaging minutes allowance... so many ~~inane~~ questions..
