    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…

    9 Brilliant Hermione Granger Scented Candles

    March 22, 2022 /

    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...

    Even if you don't really identify as a Slytherin, you might have been interested in the "subtle art and exact science of potion-making," as Snape describes it. Through most of the Harry Potter books, potions is made out to be an unfair and challenging class – when as we all know the teacher makes all the difference. In any case, whether you love potions and want to treat yourself or you know a Harry Potter fan who finds potion-making fascinating, you've come to the right place...

    The world of Harry Potter is full of distinctive characters, but there are perhaps none that have such a distinctive appearance and have such an unforgettable introduction as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody. Even when he's being impersonated by Barty Crouch Jr. in the pages of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Mad-Eye Moody strikes an impressive, imposing figure – and actor Brendan Gleeson does an incredible job of bringing this character to the silver screen...
