Friends of the Boy Wizard

I may have mentioned once or twice that A1 is a massive Harry Potter fan.  She has read all the books and lives in wait for her letter from Hogwarts when she turns 11.  It seems every time I turn a corner in this house a spell is cast on me (no Unforgivable Curses allowed of course).  A2 is much too small for the magical world of Harry Potter just now, but she knows all of the characters (she calls herself "Mermione" and when she joins in and casts a spell it sounds like "expecto matronum").

I recently ordered A1 these gorgeous stickers from the lovely koalateashop on etsy.  She has been busily using them to make birthday cards for some friends.
In very exciting news for any Harry Potter fan, it was announced that the Harry Potter exhibition is coming to the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney in November.  There was a media launch this week, and A1 and I were fortunate enough to be present at the launch.  A1 is the luckiest girl in the world as she ended up on stage with the actor who portrays Neville Longbottom.  She had a brilliant day and we cannot wait till November when we can go to the exhibition.

It was such an exciting day, and certainly won't be forgotton for many years.  Now if only I could get her to take off her (fake) Harry Potter glasses and put on her (real) reading glasses.
