The objective of this final was to successfully transform a ball, in this case a basketball, into a balloon. The available ball had first been observed closely to determine its similarities and/or differences, if any with the visualized balloon. Both the objects being inanimate, the transformation spell Muto Inanimus was then applied to perform the transformation and results were handed over.
Purpose of a ball

Upon touch, a typical balloon feels slightly smooth as you trace your hand onto the surface, but it depends on the type of material it is composed of. Texturally, the only difference between a basketball and a balloon would be the small bumps that are present on a basketball but are absent on the balloon. This difference is minor and can be ignored.
Sight
The balloon visualized has the same color of the basketball, making it similar to the existing object. This means that the object would be orange in color and about the same size as the ball.
Smell
Another similarity between a basketball and a balloon is the smell. Just like a basketball, a balloon would smell rubbery due to the material that it is made of, in this case, rubber.
Sound
The sound that the balloon makes range from a scratchy sound when hands are dragged across its surface to a large pop if the balloon is pierced or comes in contact with a sharp object.
Taste
A balloon is technically not advised to be tasted as most rubber composed objects may be harmful. Nevertheless, it would taste of a powdery

Just as the balls provided a home for those who are considered minorities in society, they united people of all races. One subject in the film described the concept of “throwing shade.” He described that instead of using offensive slurs, they would make humorous comments to each other.

The game of basketball is a highly recognized and widely known sport. Basketball was first heard of in the winter of 1891 when a man by the name of James Naismith was told to instruct a physical education class at the Young Men’s Christian Association in Springfield, Massachusetts. Naismith was instructed to put together a game for young men to enjoy while they were at the YMCA. While trying to come up with a brilliant and fun game for these young men, Naismith reminisced back on his childhood in Canada. He remembered a game his friends and him had played all the time: “Duck on a Rock”, which involved trying to knock a large rock off a boulder by throwing smaller rocks at it. Naismith also remembered watching a game of rugby going on in the gymnasium. The game of Rugby involved tossing a ball into a box. After a very short time of trying to make up a game for these young men, Naismith came up with a brilliant idea. Little did he know the game that he came up with just so happened to be one of he most renowned sports in American history. Naismith’s idea pertained to nailing up raised boxes so that players could attempt to throw a ball in the basket. When there were no boxes too be found, he used peach baskets. Supposedly, Naismith came up with all the rules for this game in no more than “about an hour”, according to Alexander Wolff. Shortly after Naismith had invented the game of basketball, graduates of the YMCA traveled internationally which is the main reason as to why this sport is so widely known.

The golden ball is what the princess mostly processes and it means everything to her. In today’s society, beauty is important to some people that they will do anything to look “beautiful.” While others are struggling to be accepted for how they look.
