Harry Potter obsession

James has read the first five books in the HP series since the beginning of the school year, and we've watched the first two movies together as a family. I've never read any of the books or seen the movies before this, so it's all new to me... but I definitely see the appeal.

.....

This is what he did last night:

.....

He made HP's pet owl, Hedwig, out of toilet paper rolls, kleenex, paper and scotch tape. Plus a couple of wooden coffee stirrers to hold onto and self-adhesive black gems for the eyes. This photo doesn't do it justice - it looks so much better in real life.

Only two days 'til Halloween. I think the boys are going to go CRAZY with excitement before then. lol

Have a great day and a fun weekend! :)

Seriously can't get over how crazy cool creative your children are! I love it.

and I can't believe you hadn't read Harry Potter before....I used to take the day off work each time a new book came out and would spend the whole day reading it and then would go into Harry Potter withdrawl.

What an impressive Hedwig!

I love Harry Potter. To my great surprise, I even stood in line at midnight a couple of times. :)

My eldest has grown p with Harry...her schooling years co-inced with the HP perfectly :)
We have seen every movie together and next week we finally get to see the second last movie...we are so darn excited! And I am so darn excited that at almost 19 she still wants me to come to the movies with her :)

Diane, that's awesome that you and your daughter have such a close relationship. I'm hoping my kids will continue to be seen in public with me in years to come! lol

Your boy is just AWESOME. We are a HP loving family too, we've seen all 6 movies together and are eagerly waiting for the final one(s)! I just finished reading the last book because I couldn't wait until the movie to find out the ending :)
