Elect the next Minister of Magic

This year, the United States is having one of its most important Presidential elections. It's funny because a select few of my friends are really into politics and whole conversations are sometimes wasted listening to two people decide why Hilary Clinton would have made a better candidate just because she's a woman. Although I will be voting in November, (haven't exactly decided who yet) for the time being I'll just watch Saturday Night Live skits make fun of Sarah Palin.



This year, Mugglenet wanted to get in on the action but take it from a "Potter" perspective.

Over the next couple of months, running right up to the US election on November 4th, they are letting their fans and readers help the site vote a new Minister of Magic. Mugglenet's team has selected eight candidates, which are divided into personal parties: the Wizocrats and the Hogicans. The fans will elect one representative from each party who will face off on election night. Each candidate has their own Twitter which the fans can use to follow them on as they campaign throughout the Wizarding World. Mugglenet has thought of everything, and even thoughts from their own political experts will be available for each and every match up.

Sometimes I wonder about my HP addiction, but I believe that everyone should have some sort of hobby.
