Which animal would you choose...?

[VidelNC]

If you were a student at Hogwarts, which animal would you bring with you?
You can choose between:
- an owl
- a cat
- a rat
- a toad

I would most definately choose an owl. Not only because they're beautiful and all, but they can come in very handy for your mail and stuff.

[hpangel102]

I'd bring an owl, they are the most fun!

[Manyasha]

Unless I'm much mistaken, this thread should be in The Common Room forum. Could any mod move it?

I'd personally choose an owl.:)

[majo]

I can't decide between a cat and an owl.

[HarryPottersfan]

Before this thread is moved, I'll have my say:

If I had to choose between those animals, I'd pick an owl. Not only are they beautiful, but their good hunters and flyers, plus they are wonderful birds of prey and can deliver your mail more effciently.

[Chaser]

I'd definatly go for a cat. I like them and they like me! Honestly I have a strange connection with them. :??:

[WatsonFan11]

I woulld bring a cat. They are so cute.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[DogStar87]

An owl... they're useful as cell phones.

:welcome: VidelNC.

[apples]

I like cats, but since I'm allergic to them, I'll take an owl! :)

[Rowena Ravenclaw]

I'd rather have a cat, but an owl would probably be of more use.

I don't suppose there's any way I can put a charm on my cat so it'll fly? :angel:

[Re'em_Herder]

A cat definately. I currently have three.

[soledad26]

either a cat or an owl, i can't decide between the two.

[hpangel102]

I don't like cats at all..... owls are better.... they can do more things.

[harryton]

i would bring an owl, they look so cute :) specially the way the cry.........

[Aoife Diggle]

Definately an owl, they are so useful! Plus I don't like cats and rats and toads aren't really good for much!

[Antonia]

I hate birds (I am scared of them) and cats AND rats but I think toads and frogs are kind of cute plus Neville has one and Neville is the BEST!!!!!! So yeah I would have a toad for sure.

[Finch]

IIIIIIII, because I love bending rules.... would bring a ferret. :evil:

[daniel4hp]

Hmm... its my understanding that the school cares for owls (in the owlery) but other pets have to be cared for by the owner. So I guess I'd bring an owl--less work and it would send messages. A cat would be nice, but he/she would probably die.

[Tigerlily]

I think an owl would be more useful so that's what I would bring. Besides, I'm allergic to cats. :p

[Slytherin_Chick]

OWL!!!!!!

[stellaluna]

I'd take a rat. Only for being social; nobody mentioned them before....
I'm going to make a new organisation: CFTSUAUFR:
Can anybody guess what it means? Its "Care for the stupid ugly annoying useless fat rats". Stupid I know, just like Hermiones....

Nah, I'd take my cat. He's already 16 jears old and I love him... BTW, he's called Bärchi.

[Ronman]

I'd Be An Owl

[hedwigs_keeper]

I would definately take an owl. Not only are they beautiful, but handy too!

[Snidget]

It's between a rat and an owl. I would take an owl, because it would be handy for mail. A rat, because not only do I have one (I had two, but one died last night) in real life, but they make great pets and are so cute and loyal. So, I can't really choose.

[Finch]

I still think everyone should bring ferrets..... :)

[jodiekins]

Owl... I hate cats, and what good is a toad or rat? They waste your money on food, and they will die quickly.. owls are helpful and sooo pretty.... But if I could pick any animal, I'd choose a phoenix (cause they are cool) or a dog, cause I love dogs! Or a snake... Mann, animals are cool... maybe even a leopard... they are beautiful (ill shut up now)

[sierra_sand]

Since I couldnt bring my dog (you cant sneak anything past Dumbledore) I would take a cat.Something to cuddle when you feel a little sad. aww

[lilmrsfelton]

i would bring an owl
but i really want a snake but that is not a option.

[Firebolt]

An Owl for me. I used to own one when I were a kid. I live closed to the grass field where they lived (They're gone now, someone build a Condo over it). I found an injured owl so, I took care of it.

[Pastor Potter]

No question about it, I'd bring an owl.

[Mimi]

I personally would pick an owl. They could deliver the post for me.

:typing:

[hpangel102]

I wouldn't hesitate to pick an owl, I thnk it would be so cool! They can do so much more than a toad or cat can.

[Loz]

An owl ;) And I'd call her Tweetums.

I thought this was going to be a "what animal would you transfigure into" - well - the answer's still the same :) Except for the name - obviously I'd prefer to be called Loz, lol.

[Melissa_Potter]

I'm not sure if we would be able to bring dogs so I would take an owl. Like some other people said they are really handy for your mail and they seem really faithful and loyal

[bubblesofdeath88]

I would want a snake, then i could wear it on my arm and freak people out:evil:, but if I couldn't then id want an owl, a nice snowy owl:D

[Ezra Pippen]

Owls aren't really very smart (I am a bird person but wouldn't choose an owl as a companion animal)or incredible social, but the wizarding owls seem different-smart and interactive-so maybe an owl. A northern Hawk Owl would be ool and big enough to handle packages.

[Starseyer]

Definitely an owl. Mainly for post reasons, but I like owls anyway.

[Moontrimmer]

Though I love cats, owls seem to be the most handy.:)

[Barbara Kennedy]

How about a fruit bat? It's cuddly yet able to deliver post.....

[Alohamora]

a definate owl!! i think that they're the most useful and it would be white and fluffy...i would call it Alohamora...just like me!! lol:clappy: :D ;D :rotfl: :p

[go_anna40]

An owl. They seem quite impressive so far. But if there was more choices to chose from, I might change my mind.
And they're nocturnal. I like nocturnal animals.

[Snowmane]

An owl. They are much cleverer than the other animals and they are really useful for sending mail too.

[Jessie]

*Alien chant* Owl, owl, owl, owl, owl, owl, owl....

I'd love a snowy white one with light blue eyes. I'd call her Aurora. Aurora's also the name of the owl that belongs to the main character in my fanfic. I dunno...I just like that name & I think it fits.

But if I could pick one that WASN'T listed...I'd bring a white tiger or a flying horse! :p Just kidding, although I'd like to. Hey wait...let's skip the logicals (where would u keep them, what if they ate the students, u could get expelled, etc) & dream a little. I WOULD bring either a white tiger CUB or a white winged horse. Or maybe just a hamster. :p

[Yavanna]

I'd choose an owl cuz they are so useful, but my second would be a cat cuz I could cuddle with it.

[tizzy weasley]

I think I'll jump on the band wagon and say Owl. :) It would just see, easier and all. You wouldn't have to sneak into the owl room late at night to deliever a owl. You can just have your owl next to your bed. Plus...your owl can be very trustworthy. :)

[dorcasderr]

I couldn't live without my cats, so I'd choose a cat. If i could have a second animal, though, I would opt for an owl.

[Auri DeMeer]

I'd choose a cat. I like owls too because they're practical, but the School has owls for the students for that purpose.

[dorcasderr]

Right, and I don't know of any school cats. Mrs. Norris is strictly Filch's, so you'd have to bring your own cat.

[Filius Flitwick]

Of those four, I'd bring an owl. If I could have a dog then I'd bring a dog.

[Fuchsia]

I would want to bring a dog if I could as well but I don't think that the wizards like dogs too much. Too bad. My dalmation is really smart.

[Fleur]

I'd want to bring an owl to Hogwarts. Of course, I have no idea of what species of owl I would want, but an owl around the size of Pig would be cute.

[Stallion1]

An owl wopuld be cool but i think it would be kind of fun to have a snake or something different or as the weasly's friend had (i cant remeber his name) had a giant spider. Or a cat would be pretty cool or how about a bat? hmmm

[Shadowmoon]

I would bring a black cat with green eyes. Kind of cliche for a witch, but oh well! I love how mysterious and independent cats are, as well as being soft cuddly. An owl would be nice for mail, but as Auri Demeer said, the school has owls for students to use. So I'd definitely choose a cat.

[Sredni Vashtar]

I would have an owl. But not just any old owl. I'd want a specific species, because owls aren't all the same.

Here are a list of candidates:
Scops owl
http://www.owlpages.com/species/otus/ireneae/pictures/sokoke1_lk.jpg

Snowy Owl (Hedwig)

Great Horned Owl (the classic owl) - http://www.owlpages.com/species/bubo/virginianus/greathorned2.html

Dusky Eagle Owl - http://www.owlpages.com/species/bubo/coromandus/dusky_eagle1.html

Spectacled Owl - http://www.owlpages.com/species/pulsatrix/perspicillata/pictures/spectacled4_rnb.jpg

Sunda Scops Owl - http://www.owlpages.com/species/otus/lempiji/sundascops.html

[Yadiami]

I would choose an owl, they're the most useful, although a cat would be nice too.
I think I'd call it Fujur and it would be a Dusky Eagle.

And that idea of choosing a ferret is fantastic! We all know how well they bounce on Hogwarts walls.

[Mad Macca]

defenately an Owl! besides the plus side of owl post, they are so cute! I fell in love with Hedwig nibbling at his cage at the beginning of Chamber of Secrets, it was so cute! Plus they woul probably make very faithfull pets!

[thatsmeb]

i know i would bring a dog and name him Nickadeamus. he would be an english wolf hound

[Da_Chinkster]

isnt it only an owl, cat or toad that you can bring into Hogwarts?? Gotta be an owl for me actually

[Deliah]

My 3 cats :)

[missgranger]

Yeah Da Chinkster, the letter they all get says an owl, cat, or toad. (How come Ron could have a rat though??) But anway, I would bring an owl too.

[ragga]

well if it was only an owl,cat or toad i would have an owl...

but if i could choose something else it would be a raven, dont ask why i just think they look mysterious...

[kittyboy]

:cool: my two kitties one is a black kitten
Kit tyboy

[thatsmeb]

ok... i guess it should say, if you could choose ANY animal what would it be.

[Queen of Wise]

Heh, Id bring my Pitt Bull puppy:) Hes not mean or vicous one bit, but that doesnt mean I cant use him to scare the punk bullies:)

[Marisa]

I would probably bring an owl or a cat... I'm not quite sure LOL

[gryfforin]

I think I'd like to bring an owl in Potterverse, seem to be quite useful!

[RemusLupinFan]

I would definately bring an owl to Hogwarts- I could then receive the Daily Prophet every day and could send messages at any time without using the school owls. Maybe my second choice would be a cat, but I know for sure I wouldn't bring a toad.

[deadlocked]

Ya if I could only bring a cat,owl or toad it would have to be a owl but if not i would bring a snake... :evil:

[Golden snitch 4]

of course a cat and particulary my cat yeah it would be great ! :cool:

[Gandalf]

I'd bring a nice Barn Owl (my favourite type of Owl) or a Cobra.

[Erundur]

If it were a Owl, Cat or Toad, I would have chosen a Cat, I'd like to have a campainion that would could be able to be with me in my dorm, I think it would of been pretty cool, but if were of something else, I'd go off the limb here and say...a Falcon.

[KLW]

a raven or a pheonix...i'd bring a dragon if i could...

[Frankie Inkblot]

If I remember correctly from the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley, there was a jewel-encrusted tortoise. I'd bring him, and name him Bertolucci. We would spend many fine nights by the fire in the common-room. Not too close though, we wouldn't want to have to make turtle soup.

[Luinecu]

A cat or raven

[KLW]

i'd also like a timberwolf...not sure if that'd b a good pet in the real world though...:/

[Golden snitch 4]

If I remember correctly from the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley, there was a jewel-encrusted tortoise. I'd bring him, and name him Bertolucci. We would spend many fine nights by the fire in the common-room. Not too close though, we wouldn't want to have to make turtle soup.

That's a good idea but all you have to do, it is to go to diagon alley with the magicobus ... Easy isn't it ?!?! :cool:

[Erundur]

a raven or a pheonix...i'd bring a dragon if i could...

I think you would have to have very rich parents, or a spell as to keep it in check :p

That would be pretty cool though, I wish I had a dragon :upset:

[saflores]

Well, if I had to go strictyl by the rules, I would bring an owl b/c it seems a whole lot useful than a toad or cat. And I agree with Gandalf, I would want it to be a barn owl too.

But if I could choose to bring any animal, I would bring a minature unicorn, but I bet Dumbledore would make it live in the forest with the rest of the unicorns. At least Hagrid can look after it.

I'm also fond of dogs, so if there was a way to get a Mini-Fluffy, then that's what I would take too! It's a good thing it has 3 heads and one tail. I'd hate to walk around with 3 pooper scoopers!
-Sylvia

[KLW]

I'd call my dragon Ivern...

[jen15poms]

I would like to bring a cat and name her Professor McGonagall. :)

[thatsmeb]

if i had to go by the rules... i would bring my cat Montana, shes a full blooded Main Coon and really smart. but i was thinking... i might bring my rabbit, his name is Captian.

[Levina Phoenix]

If I remember correctly from the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley, there was a jewel-encrusted tortoise. I'd bring him, and name him Bertolucci. We would spend many fine nights by the fire in the common-room. Not too close though, we wouldn't want to have to make turtle soup.


He-he, I always had a certain affinity with that tortoise, as brief as his mention is. I always fancied he was named Socrates, but hey, being named after a notorius film director can't be all bad!

I would most definitely bring my Belgian Hare, wonderful magical creature that he is. :) Hares have a long association with witchcraft and the occult dontchaknow! (Which incidently is how the hares in Brian Jaques Redwall series talk!)

~Levina

[Dragon's heir]

My cat. I could never go a whole term without him. *huggles*

[harripottrfreek]

I would take an owl or my dog Chase...I love him and he is my protector! Hehe!

[hermy_weasley2]

I think I'd like to bring a toad. They may not be very useful, but I like toads. A toad could be very good company too. :) Besides, I'd like to have to chase it all over the school like Neville with Trevor.

[rotsiepots]

I'm allergic to cats (horrible beasts), can't stand the sight of toads, so I'd have to go with an owl.

Toads aren't the lovable pets Trevor would have you believe they are. They're lumpy, poisonous and generally horrible.

[Antipodean]

I'd bring a cat. MY kitty, in fact. ^^ Little Coconut couldn't live nine entire months without me, the poor darling!

[Spirit]

I would bring a cat. But I would also like to have an owl around. But I like cats more.

[Golden snitch 4]

That's a good idea but all you have to do, it is to go to diagon alley with the magicobus ... Easy isn't it ?!?! :cool:

Sorry it was the knight bus... :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

[DarkMark27]

I have to agree with the majority of the people who chose to have an owl. The owl is an animal that is the most useful at Hogwarts. You can send so many letters using it and have letters reach you wherever you are. An owl will always find you no matter what! An owl would definately be the best pet to have!!!

[Drusilla]

I think I'd take an owl,because,besides the fact that I like them a lot,they're really useful.But if I wanted a pet that could stay with me most of the time,I'd take a cat.Or maybe Snuffles :-( if it was allowed.

[Willow Calahann]

I would choose any thing in the dog family or the cat family;)

[Auror Williamson]

I would choose a dog, but that's not an option for this thread, so I'd choose and owl. They're strong, fast and quiet -- perfect for delivering mail.

[thatsmeb]

me, i would bring my cat.

[Cat]

I'd take an owl because they're so useful. But because that's a boring answer, I'd also smuggle in a rat. I can't say I'd take my cat, because I think the environment would worry him. I've always wanted a pet rat. I'd have to ask it some serious questions first, though....

[Stephie]

I'd of course go with an owl. They are the most useful. Cats are okay too, though...

[hermione_fan]

For me, it would be a tie between a cat and an owl. I love cats but owls would be more useful so I guess I really don't know.

[maz_superstar]

I have to say owl becuse the owl is an animal that is the most useful at Hogwarts as you can send letters to people andd the owl will always find the recipitant.
Plus the Owl is te wisest of creatures.

[DracosGirl226]

Owl (pose as Draco's Duh! ;)) well Owls are so beautiful and awesome! It would be very useful too!

[Rinn Shiryuu]

Cat. Black. Female. Named Luna. White star on her forehead.

I have set up everything about my Magical Me [as my chara], from boggart to patronus, so fear me world.

[ShadowX_Lupi]

Definately an owl.
Quiet (most of the time) yet useful....they sort of leak an air of intelligence.

[Zydeko]

An owl perhaps..but if I can bring any other from those..it will be a phoenix..

[Nayanya]

I would choose a rat, simply because.. I've owned rats, alot, they're intelligent, learn quickly, have beautiful personalities, and unlike owls, you can trim their claws, unlike cats they generally don't shred your sofa, and.. I just don't like toads, really o.o

[Dottie]

I could just borrow a school owl, so I would bring my kitten. :)

[Zydeko]

I would choose a rat, simply because.. I've owned rats, alot, they're intelligent, learn quickly, have beautiful personalities, and unlike owls, you can trim their claws, unlike cats they generally don't shred your sofa, and.. I just don't like toads, really o.o
why do you think with real world's rules? The owls are clever in the story. So just have fun.

[Panthera_Nigra]

Either a cat or a parrot ^^ But are they allowed anyway?

Aera >'__'<

[HpFreak726]

most likely a cat like crookshanks

[Sweetie]

I would want a rat, assuming I had a friend with an owl I could borrow. I hate borrowing school "equipment" ;)

I absolutely love rodents in any form. Er, I take that back - I'm not a big gerbil fan. But I love rats, really :)

[fahadwajid]

If allowed i would take a white tiger cub . they are in the cat family. if not allowed an owl.

[jcuzo]

i would take an owl

[doadpadfoot]

i guess i would bring an owl, but i would prefer a phoenix........ :D :whistle:

[OmarGama]

I think that I would choose an owl because they can fly and walk.

[bowlwoman]

Definitely a cat. I have 5 at home, so maybe I could take them all??? LOL

bowlwoman

[moon781]

totally an owl. They are the most useful with the post and all and they are just cool.

[Princess_Ariel]

I would choose an owl because they are so useful. Second choice would be a cat... a smushy faced one like crookshanks!

[phoenixfeather7]

I would pick a owl and it would be a girl. She'll be a snowy owl like Hedwig. Her name would be Snowy.

[Bouncing_Ferret]

Perhaps I'd take a barn owl - they seem like nice birds, and it would be so useful being able to send letters and so forth whenever I liked. An enormous barn owl named Eric. But since I'm really dreadful at writing letters to people - I always forget - I might not get enough use out of poor Eric. He'd get all bored... And if I did send him on deliveries, I'd spend too much time worrying about him getting hurt/caught in a storm/eloping with a lady owl.

Maybe I'd be better off going for a cat - a nice big splotchy coloured one called Jonathon, or perhaps Torquil. Do you think Hogwarts provide premium cat food? :D And would the house elves feed him for me? Because I really don't like looking at cat food... Maybe I could just take Jonathon/Torquil down to dinner and he could have a bit of whatever I had! :D

[ErickGama]

I would bring an owl

[danteluna]

It's hard to choose, I love cats a whole bunch, and in the wizarding world, they seem so intelligent, but an owl is so useful. Then again, I'm not sure who I'd be writing to outside of Hogwarts and there is an owlery anyway.

[FizzingWizbees]

Definitely an OWL! They are so gorgeous and they are smart and bring your mail!

[LouisaB]

I am pretty much torn between cats and owls.

I am a cat person generally and currently have a very timid black cat. Lots of cat and owl ornaments here, cat mouse mat and owl mug placer on my desk too.

But I do think the owl would be far more useful, sending messages and such. Think I would have to choose that one for a pet at Hogwarts and leave the cat at home.

Don't like toads at all and although I don't mind rats (used to keep hampsters and gerbils and the like) I don't think that they make for the most interesting of pets to take to a school.

[HPGoddess101]

I would pick an owl b/c they r dead useful and they r beautiful. I would get an Eagle owl. :)

[Bee]

I'd be torn between a cat and an owl. Owls are pretty handy, but they have to stay in the Owlery and you'd never see them, plus there are school owls you can use. And if you're from a wizarding family, your family probably has an owl to send mail with. Cats are loyal and furry and cute, and you can keep them with you all the time. But they're not too handy.

Judging from the evidence, I think I'd have to go with.... CAT!

[Scarlet Tears]

I would probably choose a cat, but an owl would be nice too. I have always adored cats, and someday I hope to own a black cat with green eyes (the stereotypical witch's cat!) I also have a lot in common with cats, and I love the mysterious aura that surrounds them. They are very independent, curious, and clever, not to mention adorable! So that would probably be my choice.

[darkmistress905]

I will agree with you I think that an owl will be useful. So my choice would obviously be an owl. Because they are very beautiful and because hey this way you can ensure no one reads your mail. LoL, :p

[maritoy]

An owl is very useful, and extremely practicle, and that would make the most sense to bring, but since when have I ever gone for the useful and practicle item. I'm all for flash and nice looking, and I wuv itty-bitty kitties. I'd have to go with the cat :)

[glugunkwen]

I would bring a cat so I would have something that would curl up against my back when I'm sleeping. I would borrow someone else's owl if I needed one.

[NepSy]

Owl. They are beautiful and very useful. And I don't like cats, rats and toads

[Severus15]

I would definitly bring an owl! Like Hagird said in PS they're dead useful. However, if I was alowd I think I'd rather have a different bird of prey like a hawk or a falcon deliver my mail. I like cats as well although I like to observe them rather than have one as a pet because I always get the impression that cats find people annoying. And besides, I'm allergic to cats and I'd probably spend all of my Hogwarts career having particularly violent sneeze attacks.

[SCAMANDER]

:angel: :blush:
I would bring an owl, they are beautiful intelligent creatures and are extremly useful. :upset: :blush:

[Romy]

An auburn owl. Named Artemis. What´s the special quality of a toad, anyway? I mean an owl delivers mail, a cat you can at least pet but what use would it be to bring a toad?

[HarryPotter]

I would definitely choose an owl... although cats rule as well

[Blossom]

Well, i'd want to bring my rat (he's such a cutie!) but i'd have to take the cage and a load of food and bedding so i'd leave him here with my sis and buy a B-E-A-utiful barn owl to take with me.

[vitacus]

If I could only choose between the four, then I'd bring an owl.

But, I wouldn't limit myself to that rule. I'd sneak in a stagbeetle just for a pet I could keep around with me conveiniently.

[EJS]

I would choose an Owl. They just seem like a cool pet to have, plus they are very useful with delivering your mail.

[emerald eyes]

I'm a cat person totally but I guess I would choose an owl to take to school b/c of their usefulness in carrying messages and packages. I would definitely have several cats at home though. :)

[scouse_7]

i'd take a dog and be different fron every1 else.maybe then i'd put a spell on it to keep it a puppy.

[emma madison]

Definitely an owl. I like writing letters a lot, and I love receiving mail.:)

[poysinrayne]

I would have to bring a cat, i too have a strange connection with them.

[Mega]

I'd take an owl. Not only would it make a good pet but I could also use it to send my post.

[Neddlie]

I would pick an owl.

[DerHalfBlood]

I would get an owl for practical purposes of the mail. I'd love one like Harry's! I think it might be interesting to bring along a cat, if it was half-kneazle like Crookshanks.

[SiriusBlack22]

Owl because they can deliver messages and are usually out of your way...

[Dead Star]

A cat, they're more pet-like. Especially if it would be like Crookshanks, since Kneazles are very intelligent. I could just use one of the school owls if I needed to. But the only bad part is if I would need to send anything by owl post during the summer =\ Unless I was part of a wizarding family, so there's be an owl in the house anyway. Heh, I think like Harry too much.

[~Tonks~]

This is tough for me because I adore cats, but I'd want to bring an owl because they can deliver your mail, and they seem really neat, and I've never owned a bird before and I'd like to have one... but a cat you can cuddle with, and a half-kneazle like Crookshanks would be cool... maybe I'd just bring my cat I have now. I swear he's half kneazle anyway. Never liked my ex and he ended up being right. :rotfl:

[TerrierMom]

As I couldn't have a dog, I'd say an owl or a cat.

[Classical_Wizar]

Owl, reliable, can deliver messages, and they don’t seem to need that much cleaning.

[sherbertlemon12]

I would most definitely choose an owl because they are handy and beautiful. I mean come on, who wouldn't feel excited to receive mail if it were delivered by owl?

[stargarbage]

Who wouldn't take an owl?!?

[Picko]

I definitely have an owl because of how useful they'd be, not to mention how beautiful as well :)

[Annabelle Black]

I would have a cat, preferably part kneazle like Crookshanks. I'm not sure what I would name it though.

I forgot that I planned on naming my next cat "Easter". It's from the song Crucify by Tori Amos that says, "I got a cat named Easter..."

[Kimmetje]

I think an owl as it is indeed very usefull for mail and all. Can it than be an eagle, as that is still a bird. I'd like the one like Malfoy has that can carry a lot of waite and all.

I don't want the owl to be annoying like Pigwidgeon or as stupid as Erl, they're cute, but both a bit clumbsy.

[Sorcha]

Well, let's see, I'd rather have a dog, but that's out so....A cat, can't have one of those, I'm allergic. Rat and toad, out of style and EW. So that leaves owl. I'd want an owl that could carry alot of weight as well, although Pig is awfuly cute. But if allergies didn't play a part, I'd want a cat, because it could stay in the room with me, more like a companion.

[KrookShanks]

I'd be a cat, mainly because I love cats, I have 3 of my own, and you can sit and watch them for hours. people seem to think they just sleep all day, well they do but theres more to them than that, because they are assosiated with witches being their familiars and all, and egyptians used to worship them, so i think we underestimate them alot !

[Dracozgirl]

I agree with finch, we should all bring ferrets. I had a ferret. It's name was Princess. It was white with unnaturally red eyes. I had to sell it because we got my two evil cats. Oh and by the way I have a real live pet owl. :evil: :slyth:

[Puchula]

I´ll defeneatly bring an owl, they are really useful and I´m not very much into cats. Rats and toads are out of the question

[caspeer89]

i would bring a owl, there the coolest ones, and there very useful, and smart

[fire_fly052]

I would bring an owl mainly because the are such wonderful animals. I would want one that looked somewhat like Hedwig :)

[AlbusDumbled0re]

An owl because they are useful

[Summerr]

I would imagine having an owl would be useful especially during the summer. Having letters being sent to your friends ...or to those in particular who don't know how to use a telephone or send letters by regular mail. But I suppose if I was in school I could always just go to the owlery. If I had my own I wouldn't like the idea of cleaning up after their droppings and leftover meals day after day. Not to mention when they shake their feathers all that feather dandruff fly's everywhere.

I would rather have a cat thank you very much. :)

[DragonBlk17]

An owl. So that I can have them send letters or packages to my friends. And also so that I can pet them and let them fly around the house.

[FluffyEarmuffs]

I would have an owl too, but Id probably find it scary when they all swoop in at breakfast time, and fly towards you.

[caindo]

Not only would I bring a cat, I would bring MY cat. She's 16 years old. Sometimes it makes me wonder if she's a Kneazle ;)

[ginger cat]

I would choose a cat because I love cats! They are interesting to watch, keep you company and are very soothing.

[Nymph]

I would choose a cat cause I love cats and you can pet a cat and a cat does not sleep in the owlery so you can see him quite often.
Harry does not seems to see Hedwige oftently, in fact just for the post , which mean never ...(and the hollidays... right). And he used other owl quite a lot.

[lewis8604]

Why can't ypu bring a dog. I would have to break the rules and bring a puppy. Dogs are awesome!!!

Nymph im pretty sure that it said that Hedwig would come down for breakfast even without mail occasionally and harry would give her food and drinks.

Still Dogs are awesome i would get me a nice blonde lab and he could sleep on the end of my bed. Then he could chase all of the cats away HAHAHA

If I couldn't bring a phoenix I would bring an owl or a cat

Ferrets? At Hogwarts? Sounds cool.
A real live owl? doesn't your cat chase the owl?

[Black Fire]

I'd bring an owl.

[McBeth]

Probably an owl, because, in the Wizarding World, they'd be useful. But I wouldn't mind a cat or a toad.

[LuvHP_001]

Probably an owl, because, in the Wizarding World, they'd be useful.

I would choose an owl too, it is useful and they're so beautiful.

[dolly]

I'd choose an owl. Handy and kinda beautiful!

[Jamara]

Definately an owl, because it was also the favoured pet of Athene, Greek Goddess of Wisdom!!

[jo schmo]

i would be a phoenix just because they're dead useful and cool.

[Azura's_Heir]

I would have to bring my cat, Bug. As wonderful as having an owl would be I just don't think they have that same ability to relieve all of your stress with a loud rumbling purr and licking your face. My boy really is the sweetest thing. I don't think I could live with out him.

[EJS]

I would bring an owl, they just seem like they would be a cool pet.

[accio4lyf]

It would be an owl... its more useful....

[Markus]

I would bring a cat.
