Quote:DeputyJones wrote:Spellbooks may be a bust since they're mostly useless unless you practice Potter style magic, which requires specially crafted wands made with materials which are likely beyond rare in Doug's world. I doubt that Ollivander would be willing to sell Doug several dozen unmatched wands either. Theory books would likely also be a bust since, by the time Doug leaves, he'll have a better understanding of their spellcasting paradigm than they do. Herbology and potions texts and some seeds could be an interesting but problematic gift, since Doug could conceivably get in trouble for importing potentially invasive species from another universe. Besides which, would Doug really want to risk keeping a stock of magically active plant seeds near his chaos field for an unknown number of decades/centuries?
Edit: I'd say a bigger-on-the-inside trunk with spell books, magical history and theory books, and a few books on magical animals and plants with maybe a few long-term preserved apothecary purchases to go with them from HPland.
