Fall is here (although not quite in Florida) and with it comes pumpkin everything, scarfs, and a little nip in the air that brings my soul a serious sense of happiness. Fall also makes me think of Harry Potter. I first read the series in the Fall and this time of year feels magical to me. Although … [Read more...]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Recap + Professor McGonagall’s Ginger Newt Biscuit Recipe
