Not so fictional anymore?

Harry Potter is a big movie and book seller. Everyone has heard about him and probably have seen the movies. Well do you remember the invisiblity cloak? Of course its fictional but some students wanted to make it a reality.

You can read the articale above of how they made it happen. I watched on Nat. Geo. The camera angle had to be perfect! They interviewed the Professor seeing if he would sell the cloak to the military and he said no. He didn't want it to be used like that. Which surprised me because usually people would sell out and take the money and not even worry about what they will do with it. This professor doesnt even want to think about it.
Its amazing how this went from just a fictional book to reality. The advances these students can make in this world has only begun!
