| May 4, 2017 at 15:27 | comment | added | Reya | I can't imagine owls really buying anything or making transactions with wizards. They seem to be owls who've just been very well trained and half-magical because they somehow seem to know where to find the recipient (like Hedwig did with Sirius sometimes) but in all other aspects, just regular owls. | |

| May 2, 2017 at 21:27 | comment | added | K-H-W | Dunno the price for the Daily Prophet (which I think he delivered if I remember), but if it's what he gave the owl, it's a very outdated concept that us old-farts knew well - Cash on Delivery, or COD. Once upon a time, delivery services would accept payment when a product was delivered; handy before everyone had lots of credit cards, and Electronic Check processing didn't yet exist, and quite popular for 'As Seen on TV' items in the old days. May also apply to subscription services, often at a lower price than the newsstand price. | |
| May 2, 2017 at 19:57 | comment | added | carlupq | The "logic behind the question"?! Your logic interpretation doesn't work. The logic is more an inquiry as to Owls being "self employed" or do they have an "employer'. We're all quite aware the Owl didn't produce Hagrid's letter and thus wanted payment for his transcription service. smh | |

| May 2, 2017 at 19:51 | comment | added | NKCampbell | surely it's a courier service. If the logic behind the question holds, are owls the ones producing the Daily Prophet or building broomsticks? Of course not, they are they postal service and its cash on delivery | |
