This was written 10.10.10 (at astonishingly 10:08pm)...but I thought I should wait until Christmas to post it!
Every night we read Jack Harry Potter. After reading yet another Potter-filled Christmas story (so far, we're on book 3), I had to wonder aloud "why aren't there any Jewish wizards?" Well, Todd, being as incredibly smart as he is explained it this way:
Well, the witches and wizards probably celebrate it differently than Muggles. It's probably not religious the way it is for Muggles...it seems to be mostly about the presents (and the food!).
This sparked an entire conversation about how Santa is probably a wizard. Of course, this sounds silly...but follow along, it makes sense:
How else could Santa hit every house in one night? He obviously apparates AND uses a time-turner, guaranteeing that every house around the world gets hit. He would also have to use an invisibility cloak. Or, perhaps he's like Dumbledore and can render himself invisible if need be. On top of that, he can use the alohomora spell. This spell allows the user to open any door, unless it's magically sealed. In that case, he can just use a knife that is meant to open any door (similar to the knife that Sirius gives Harry). Even if he can't apparate into certain buildings (unplottables-like Hogwarts, those hidden by the fidelius charm, etc) he can use owls. Owls appear to be brighter than any other creature, and who would think to stop an owl from entering their home-especially if they're carrying gifts from Santa? I'm sure arrangements could even be made to have the gifts delivered to a friend, or perhaps Santa is all knowing and the ultimate secret keeper?
Of course, considering the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling's imagination is completely fictional, you have to admit, my logic makes sense.
