Hogwart’s Textbooks

How often, while reading a Harry Potter novel, did you envision yourself, wand in hand, saying wingardium leviosa to a feather, making it float above everyone’s head,and thus becoming Professor Flitwick’s star pupil? Loads? Well, you can come one step closer to feeling like a student of Hogwarts with these awesome handbound journals/notebooks made by CelesteFrittata.  The titles cover the whole gamut of Hogwart’s classes like Care of Magical Creatures to Advanced Potions.  You can also pick up Owl Post stationery and your very own Quibbler notebook.


I have a couple of Harry Potter fans in my life that might like to find one of these under the tree this Christmas.

Check out their full line of awesomeness here.

Do you have Post-Potter Depression?

I know not everyone is a Harry Potter fan, but boy, I am. I loved HP 7.2, and have the $17.25 (!) IMAX 3D ticket receipt to show for it! I’ve read and re-read all the books over the last ten years and yes, even knitted a teeny-tiny Gryffindor scarf (the one in the picture). To celebrate/commemorate the end of the movie series, Chronicle Books is giving away a copy of my book, World of Geekcraft! They posted some pretty cute ideas for fans who are trying to cope with a post-Harry world. If you comment there adding your own suggestions by 8/11, you can win a copy of the book, and craft your own HP baby or toddler costume to introduce the next generation to the series…

Harry Potter Dolls Set

I love everything about this set of hand-painted Harry, Ron and Hermoine dolls by dangercatdolls on Etsy – especially the tiny hand-pained Gryffindor stripes on their ties. You can also request other characters from the books if you have another favorite… very cool!

I also liked the description:

Dolls are made of wood and stand approximately 3.5 inches tall. They are lovingly hand painted and sealed in acrylic. While they are considerably sturdy little fellows (and ladies), they are not toys and should not be given to children, regardless of how much they love 5000 page novels.
