Hogwarts Library - Book Review and other Magic


As a big Harry Potter fan I treated myself for Christmas with the Hogwarts Library book set, which contains three books:
Fantastic Beasts & where to find them
Quidditch through the ages
The Tales of Beedle the Bard


All 3 books are mentioned in the Harry Potter books which makes it extra fun, however these books are not Harry Potter related but more extra details of the Magical world for us Muggles to enjoy :)


The books have some fun details, to my surprise I enjoyed Quidditch through the ages most, it explained in so much lovely details how Quidditch started and evolved.
I bought the set on Amazon, and highly recommend it, also a lot of the profits go to charity of these books. P.s. did you know that J.K. Rowling is the first Billionaire who lost that title because of the huge amount she donates to Charity? Something more to admire her beside her amazing penmanship!


During Christmas we sold out our lovely Feather Wingardium Leviosa inspired bookmarks, but they are back in stock and even more fun now.


Now you can choose the color of the house you belong in, if you are not sure if you are a Griffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin or Hufflepuff, you can do this quiz to see in which house you fit in best :) (I came out as a Ravenclaw).


While magic is still in the air we made this magical dragon necklace, we bought two of these dragons in Spain a while back and they have been waiting to be made ever since. While I was reading Fantastic Beasts & where to find them I remembered them again and now finally it turned in a magical necklace, I think Daenerys Targaryen would approve too :)



It is a limited edition of 2 and available in our StaroftheEast shop.
