    That along with the fact that, what the fuck kind of assignment is that? Tell your cousin to ask his/her teacher if he writes shit fan fiction. ;)

    Can't really think of any reason myself, apart from the obvious more people. More space doesn't really apply as Scotland is mostly deserted, the less rain and greater population is about it.

    Rather than Nessie, we've got the sasquatch?

    The new sport can be hockey played on brooms or something?

    Yea, that's all I've got.

    Were you comparing United Kingdom's population to Canada's? You do realize, that Great Britain has nearly twice as much people as Canada does, don't you?

    My bad if you were comparing Scotland to Canada, though.

    What the fuck does that have to do with English class, his parents might want to talk to the fuck'n principal if their Ginny/Harry shipping teacher is honestly giving retarded shit like this for homework.

    This. As well as what World said. Tell your cousin not to do it and call his teacher a fucking faggot and an idiot.

    Lot's of reasons why you wouldn't want to move Hogwarts to Canada, but since she doesn't want that... More space allows for more magical creatures to live safely and outside of muggle interference, so that would help the CoMC course. If Native Americans had their own style of magic before the white man came it would be easier to say that they are more open to non-wand based magic.

    Other than that... I can't really think of anything. Hogwarts is as famous as it is because it has been around since before the Norman Conquests. It has the history of Europe, and quite probably the Romans, behind it and has the acquired knowledge of over 1000 years of history in one place. Taking it out of Britain would take away a major part of that. The 'magic' of the place would be ruined.

    Still, just tell your cousin to write some overly patriotic crap and he'll probably get top marks. She seems the type to accept that as being the same as actually having an opinion.

    Not as in literal magic, but the atmosphere and the history that comes with it having stood there for a thousand years. Like the magic of Disney World to a young kid, rather than the magic of say... the Unseen University. The only way I can really describe it is it being like a really bad crossover where one character is planted into the middle of another fandom without any real goal or plot just because the author thought it would be cool. It may seem like a good idea in theory but when you get right down to it some fandoms just don't mesh well, and that is what I think Hogwarts would be like if it got relocated to Canada.

    Though Mountie!Harry would be pretty lulzy :p.

    Oh hell.

    OP: why did you post that here? Wasn't even lulzy.

    Oh there's no doubt that the teacher writes fanfiction. My money's on Kinsfire or B. B. Ruth.

    You know, the concept of Kinsfire teaching school-age children is actually one of the more disturbing things I've run across here.

    No clue who the hell B. B. Ruth is though.

    Pssh. Homework assignment is fine. Probably trying to add some creativity to persuasive Essay's instead of reciting facts. You don't have to believe in the subject to write a essay about it. If this was a high school/college level essay, it would suck, but as it's a beginner essay trying to add in different elements, it is fine.

    As for the essay, tell your cousin to be creative.

    One of my first essay's was a persuasive paper of why one flavor of oreo was better than the others. Pointless, yes, but it's a learning essay. Smart teacher too.

    In Canada there are same-sex marriages.
    In Scotland there are only civil partnerships.

    More slash potential in Canada!!

    Wonder what teacher would say :twisted:

    If I was you I would call the school and tell them u refuse to let them because Harry Potter promotes witchcraft and that conflicts with your religious views.

    But if you must argue...
    Large stretches of wilderness that are protected by the goverment under reserv status. OR simply undeveloped.
    Beutiful landscapes...
    plentiful hydroelectric power?
    medicare... So your potions won't put you in debt?

    YTV? Oh that girl named sugar who was a host for a while...
    Weird voice but smokin hot!

    They can use native american magic? like magical scalpings...

    Oh fuck it... I live in canada and Even I know this is ridiculous.

    "I'm Harry Bootin Potter, Ehy! Some Hoser tried to kill me as a little un but dontcha know, I survived that yankee doodle. Ehy!"

    YEAAAAHHHH :awsome

    Although, Joe, Maybe on the reserves apply. Seeing how... You know, wizards might not care about Medicare.

    And Uh.. Wizarding Wireless, so I doubt they'd have cause to listen to a television program, seeing how chick has a werid voice.

    Listen to the man, for he is wise.

    If my teacher gave me that assignment I'd smoke him with a book or something. That is truly the most retarded assignment I've ever heard of.

    Erm...Canada has like ten bazillion desolate places up north that it could occupy. Never tickle a sleeping polar walrusbear?
