My birthday was a few weeks ago and I’m very fortunate to have a family who embraces my Potterheadedness. I got pottered from all sides.
The first was my husband. He picked up the mail on his way home one night and when I went to go through it later, I found an envelope addressed to me, living in ‘The Bedroom Next to the Stairs.’ It was perfect and sealed with a green wax seal. Inside was a Hogwarts acceptance letter and a flier for the local Pottercon. We’re going! It was the coolest way to let me know and I am looking forward to it a lot.
The second Harry themed gift was also from my husband. He made me a Harry Potter game. I kid you not! It’s a mix between Clue and a tile-based haunting game we played with some friends which I cannot remember the name of for the life of me. (This also means I can’t find it on Google so it must not exist.) We’ve playtested it a few times and I think we’ve worked out the kinks. It might be time to get some other friends involved.
The third present was from my parents. They got me a Hogwarts Alumni shirt which I’m in love with. I need a good place/reason to wear it soon because I’m dying to. I wore it to the library but it was for a board meeting and I don’t think my fellow board members appreciated it properly.
The final gift was unintentionally Potter-related. I asked my parents for a small bookshelf that I’m using for all my Potter books as well as the other YA series my husband and I own. I’ve been told it ended up quite shrine-like.
I’m excited to keep filling this one up with illustrated editions and futureĀ Fantastic Beasts screenplays. It’s going to be awesome.
Happy Potter Birthday to me!
Until next time, write on.
