Quill

There are several types of Quills used in the wizarding world.

Some known quills include:


 * Standard Quills
 * Used for general writing, as opposed to pens in the Muggle world. Numerous types of feathers are used including eagle, knarl, pheasant, peacock (Lochart's favorite), perhaps phoenix.


 * Anti-Cheating Quills
 * Used at Hogwarts durting written exams


 * Auto-Answer Quills
 * Banned during exams at Hogwarts


 * Magical Quill
 * Detects the birth of each magical child, then writes his or her name down in a large parchment book at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall checks the book every year, and then sends the owls to these children as they approach their eleventh birthdays.


 * Quick-Quotes Quill
 * Great for reporters, this quill dictates for the speaker - often exagerating the story. Rita Skeeter has an acid green one.


 * Self-Inking Quill
 * Sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes


 * Quill, Smart-Answer
 * Probaly similar to the Auto-Answer Quills; Sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes


 * Spell-Checki Quill
 * Corrects the user's spelling; Sold at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Ron has one, but it's charm wore off leaving his homework terribly misspelled (his name was written as 'Roonil Wazlib')


 * Dolores Umbridge's Quill, I must not tell lies. (OP13, OP15).
 * This quill does not use ink, but uses the writer's own blood to mark the paper. Harry had to use this quill to write lines during his fifth year while serving detentions with Professor Umbridge. His hand his now permanently scarrred with I must not tell lies from writing with this quill.
