Will People Buy Owls after Seeing 'Harry Potter'?

Ananova reported last week that some wildlife experts are afraid that parents will run out and buy owls as Christmas gifts after seeing ‘Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone.’ A spokesman for the Raptor Foundation told the The Mirror,

We’re very concerned youngsters may want snowy owls as pets. You don’t need any qualifications to buy one – just money.

Anyone who would buy an owl on a whim after seeing the ‘Harry Potter’ movie is an idiot who has a lot more problems than just a high maintenance raptor.
