I so love Harry Potter. The books and the movies. In fact, if I'm stressed or upset or sick or pretty much anything else, I just stick the movies in the DVD player and I'll be good in no time.
I read the books before they were popular (I think I was on 4 before it became a fad). One year I was Harry for Halloween and no one knew who I was. Guesses were a choir singer and judge judy! the next year EVERYONE was Harry and I was pissed. My costume was still better tho. I even had the yellow and maroon rugby...
My kiddo is on her third read of the entire series. I'm a Harry Potter rookie... I've only read them once.
Picture this, OK? Brand new house... wanting everything to look JUST SO... Diva Daughter has a GINORMOUS movie theater sized poster from the last Harry Potter movie ("Once again Harry, I must ask too much of you.") that she wants to hang in her room. So how do I decorate around that? Floating candles from the ceiling and Griffindor (sp?) colors? Spell books and cauldrons? ACK! Seriously, the girly-girl look just went out the window (and into a flying car).

To mark the start of my summer quest to re-read the Harry Potter series I have renamed my fantasy baseball team The Whomping Willows and wanted to share this motivational poster that Mt. Cat found for me. If you haven't read Harry Potter or you just haven't in a while I suggest you try and re-read them as well. You will pick up little things you missed before. Enjoy:
