Wild about Harry- Potter that is!

[LadyShadow]

I so did not know those books were in existence 

I am so going to have to get them.

[Taffy Saltwater]

They're sold as a boxed set at B&N - I think I paid about $20.  I also found them loose at Half-Price Books & bought the quidditch book en francaise at HPB because I just couldn't resist it. 

The quidditch book is set up like a library book, as in the libary book Harry borrowed from Ron in the Sorcerer's Stone and got in trouble for having it outside.

Magical Creatures is a textbook.  What I loved about these books is the doodling & graffiti.  Charming books & as with the Beedle Bard book, a portion went to Ms. Rowling's children's charity.

Now the book I'd be glad to pay for is Severus' Potions textbook, in which he wrote the potions recipes & wand spells.  Levicorpus!

[LadyShadow]

I so agree that would be a great book to get a copy of.

On Tuesday J.K. Rowling was made a knight of the Legion of Honor in France:

Brava, Ms. Rowling!

 Huzzah! If she came to this realm- I would make her a knight too!

Anyone read this? :

I got to about page 15 and started crying inside..

In that order, French & Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) give us this Potter spoof:

part 4 of 4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xodve30qfA&feature=related

Evidently that's Jeremy irons playing Snape; Miranda Richardson (who played Rita Skeeter in the movie) as Hermione; & Dawn French (who played the Fat Lady in Prisoner of Azkaban) as Harry.

[Queen Bonnie]

 The book looks like a mean spoof. Nothing is going to ruin this serise for me!
I liked the first of the Video spoofs. Very  strange- yet not mean.

Snape garb - finally done , w/Muggle transport:

[LadyShadow]

Wow, that looks good.

[Queen Bonnie]

 Wow! Amazing! Great garb!  Wicked good!

[Queen Bonnie]

 I collect some of the Tonner Harry Potter dolls! They are just coming out with Dumbledore- in the likeness of Richard Harris!  My dreams come true!  Wonderful doll! 

[Taffy Saltwater]

I will be looking for the Dumbledore figure - Richard Harris is Dumbledore.

[Queen Bonnie]

 Just google Tonner Prof Dumbledore! The doll is awesome! It is also limited to 500.
I got Severus Snape last year. I have Ron, Harry and Hermione too.

[Taffy Saltwater]

You DO have a collection.  Alas, I have none.  I went to their website & have been wiping the drool off the keyboard.  I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Harris on a road tour of Camelot in Denver many years ago - an experience I will always treasure.
