Fictional Items...

In continuation of a much earlier post, wouldn't it be great if...


~ Rhosgobel Rabbits really existed.
Even though this was an entirely original concept of the film, any creature that can out-run a pack of wargs is good enough for me, especially when travelling through Middle Earth.


~ If the Sting was a real dagger.
Found and used by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit and gifted to Frodo Baggins in The Lord of The Rings. Forged by the elves of Gondolin in the First Age and had the magical ability to glow blue when orcs or goblins were nearby/present.


~ The Higher Common Sense by Abbé Fausse-Maigre was a real book.
A handbook owned by the character Flora Poste, in the novel Cold Comfort Farm.


~ The microwave from the film The Fifth Element was real.
Creates full sized meals with dinner pellets within seconds. Fast food at its best.


~ The textbook entitled Advanced Potion Making written by Libatius Borage from Harry Potter was available for purchase as merchandise.
Who wouldn't want to be an accomplished witch/wizard?
