    While growing up, I was heartbroken by a bittersweet fact: all of the Harry Potter films were made entirely in Britain, featuring British actors only. My hopes of playing Hermione were dashed at an early age, let me tell you! Luckily, the Harry Potter films also featured some incredible locations around Britain, including London, the English and Scottish countrysides, and even Oxford...

    I focus a lot on this site, trying to bring the magical world into the Muggle one. But there's nothing that quite compares to the magic of re-reading the Harry Potter series or re-watching the Harry Potter movies. From the first notes of the score to the final credits roll, there's something truly special about the Harry Potter films and the magical feeling they make us all feel inside. That's why it's a special occasion to plan a Harry Potter movie night!

    When Polyjuice Potion was introduced in the Wizarding world, little did we know how important this one potion would be! 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...

Sure, they're pure evil in the books, but they're also a kinda cool collection of objects. Best of all, The Noble Collection has replicas of each one available – and they make perfect Horcrux gifts, for yourself or the Potterhead in your life...

    When most people travel, they book a flight (or other transport) and choose a hotel or vacation rental from all the reviews and listings on the internet. Not us magical folks though – when we’re planning a trip, we want it to be magical from start to finish! That’s why these Harry Potter Airbnbs are perfect for witches and wizards who also love to explore the world. After scouring Airbnb listings from across my global Marauders Map...

    The 8 Best Harry Potter Afternoon Teas

    March 25, 2022 /

    Despite taking place exclusively in Britain, Harry Potter and his friends rarely have tea. Maybe they’re busy in class during afternoon tea times, or it’s the kind of thing only anglophiles really do. In any event, Harry Potter fans can certainly enjoy afternoon tea with a magical twist. There are a number of great Harry Potter afternoon teas across the U.K. to choose from. Don’t worry though – it’s not at all Dolores Umbridge-y; these Harry Potter afternoon teas lack pink doilies and cat plates on walls. Instead, you’ll get the chance to try your hand a potion-making, savor magically delicious snacks, and escape the Muggle world for these quintessentially…

    If there's one character in the Harry Potter series that I most identify with, it's the brilliant, inimitable Hermione Granger. From her bushy hair, large front teeth, and bossy demeanor in the first book to the actress (Emma Watson) that played her in the films and grew into a kick-ass woman, Hermione is a character that is both inspiring and intimidating – "You're a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant, but scary," as Ron puts it...

    There are a lot of great sidekicks out there, but I think it's unfair to count Ron Weasley among them. Though he certainly is Harry Potter's best friend, through the course of the seven Harry Potter books, Ron does more than serve as second fiddle to Harry. He's his own character, makes his own decisions – including mistakes –, and grows to become a hero in his own right...
