    10 Magically Virtual Harry Potter Experiences Around the World

    January 20, 2021 /

    Stay home. Shelter in place. Lockdown. These are words we might think describe a situation when Death Eaters are on the march – not our normal muggle lives! Yet as we face a massive public health crisis around the world, everyone has to do their part to help stop the dark forces of Coronavirus. To that end, we can’t hop on a plane or grab a Portkey to explore the magical world – we need to keep ourselves home and try virtual Harry Potter experiences instead. While we can’t all do social distancing like in the picture above – that’s a ‘forced perspective’ photo from several feet apart at the…

    Since I started this site almost a year ago, one of the most fun parts has been recreating and inventing magical potions and recipes to share. From butterbeer to treacle tart (Harry's favorite) to the Draught of Peace – there are so many delicious ways to experience the Wizarding World at home. This potion was inspired by a number of searches and requests I've received...

    15 Magical, Must-See Harry Potter Film Locations in London

    December 23, 2020 /

    In some ways, London is the epicenter for all things Harry Potter in the muggle world. In London, you can visit Platform 9Ÿ and dream of making your own journey to Hogwarts. From London, you can set out on a Harry Potter tour across the U.K. or to the Harry Potter studio tour. London is home to great Harry Potter walking tours and afternoon teas and tons of film locations from all eight of the Harry Potter movies. If you’re planning a trip to London and want to see some of these film locations for yourself, here they are. You can see them as part of a guided walking tour

    A Sweet, Easy English Trifle Recipe Inspired by Harry Potter

    When I first read the Harry Potter series, I was a bit confused. What is this "trifle" dish was that everyone's enjoying? English trifle dates back to the 16th century and takes many different forms. Traditionally, trifle is made with layers of fruit, sweet alcohol-soaked sponge biscuit, and custard, sometimes with jam or jelly and topped with whipped cream...

    The 11 Best Harry Potter Ornaments for Your Christmas Tree This Year

    December 9, 2020 /

    It's the most wonderful time of the year! If you, like me, celebrate and love Christmas, you know that this season has its own special magic that goes beyond what we discover in the wizarding world. To help you add more magic to your Christmas tree this year, I've scoured Etsy. I love Etsy for hand-made presents and gifts, and discovered there are tons of amazing ornaments there too.

    "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." So reads Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem... but let's be honest: there are some other great treasures out there too. While Ravenclaws prize knowledge and insight, they can also appreciate a great gift, especially when it comes in Ravenclaw colors or with their house crest. That's where this Ravenclaw gift guide comes in handy!

    On the list of drinks from the Wizarding world that you might want to try, I'm guessing unicorn blood isn't particularly high on the list. After all: unicorn blood is not touted as a health tonic or magical elixir to help you do better on end-of-year exams! Despite this, I set out to make a Unicorn Blood drink that you will want to try.

    How to Design the Ultimate Harry Potter Office

    Like the muggle world, the Wizarding world runs smoothly thanks to the hard work of thousands of witches and wizards in offices across the country. We don’t see it much beyond scenes in the Ministry of Magic, but there are a lot of jobs that require magical folk to toil away for hours in the office – just like we do. Since we spend so much time working, it’s important to design a workspace that actually inspires your best work – whether it’s muggle assignments or wand work!

Despite this, Polyjuice Potion is consistently described as one of the more gross-sounding potions to actually drink. For that reason, I set out to create a Polyjuice Potion recipe for muggles that tastes delicious...

    Before the Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them films, it’s easy to see why Hufflepuffs felt under-represented in the Wizarding world. Sure, we’d met a handful of Harry’s classmates in Chamber of Secrets and all the girls giggled over that “tall, good-looking” Cedric Diggory (POA, Ch. 9) – but Hufflepuffs felt unloved. That’s evident as there aren’t nearly as many Hufflepuff gift guide options on the internet as there are for all three other houses. But when Fantastic Beasts came out, all of the world’s Hufflepuffs rejoiced: Newt Scamander was a hero for all ‘Puffs (and the rest of us too)! Hufflepuffs have their hero...
