For example, you may see the face in the wanted poster look from side to side. Or you might see a ghost appear and speak. Or, perhaps the &#8220;Support Cedric&#8221; buttons worn by Hogwarts students suddenly come to life and transform to say, &#8220;Potter Stinks!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really fun!
