Quill

A quill is a writing instrument made from a feather whose tip has been cut into a pointed shape. It was the standard writing instrument in the wizarding world, as opposed to pens and pencils in the Muggle world. They usually had to be dipped into ink.
==History==
On 31 July 1991, Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid shopped for quills in Diagon Alley as a part of Harry's school supplies.In 1992, Gilderoy Lockhart owned a large peacock feather quill. For Christmas that year, Hermione Granger bought Harry Potter an eagle feather quill.Harry used an eagle feather quill to do his homework during the summer in 1993.
==Types of quills==
There was a great variety of quills, some plain and simple, some (like Fwooper quills) more fancy-looking, others enhanced with magical properties.Numerous types of feathers were used including pheasant, eagle, peacock (Gilderoy Lockhart's favourite), and perhaps phoenix. Augurey feathers, however, were no good for this purpose as they repelled ink.
===Anti-Cheating Quills===
*Used at Hogwarts during written exams. They were charmed with an Anti-Cheating spell, making it impossible to cheat.
