I saved my favorite new Harry Potter
decoration for last - my new Harry Potter Tree!!
Hubby went on a backpacking trip and left
Beaulah and me to our own devices, so
we had a lot of fun creating a Harry Potter
Tree for the living room.
I already had a lot of collectibles,
but I purchased quite a few more,
all off Amazon to complete the tree.
There are so many fun collectibles out there,
of course we had to have a Dobby and a
quaffle.
I already had a sorting hat from a visit to
The Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter,
both in Orlando and California.
I got this Monster Book of Monsters a
few years ago at Barnes and Noble.
Hedwig is new because our old Hedwig
had been loved a few too many times.
I found a great pair of socks for
Dobby and glued this one to his hand.
Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem was new this year.
As was this Gringott's bank that
lights up.
I ordered a kit and it had Dumbledore's Army,
a Marauder's Map, a ticket to Quidditch World Cup Finals,
and a letter from Lily Potter to Severus.
The cup was also purchased years ago at The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
This Wizard Chess piece talks when you
press a button.
The skeleton of a dragon was one of
my old Halloween items, above it is the Quidditch
Finals ticket.
This Honeydukes store lights up also.
Of course I needed a Golden Snitch.
And of course we can't forget Nagini, as she is
critical to the end of the story.
I also decorated my Mantle this year with
a Harry Potter theme with a banner I had
from a previous party, letters to Harry from a
previous party, and new Harry Potter themed
dolls.
Now what are we going to do with all of this
Harry Potter stuff you ask? Beaulah and I
asked ourselves the same thing. We came up
with a brilliant plan - when my daughter gets all
of her furniture for her new house out of my
basement, I am going to turn my TV area into
a Harry Potter themed area, that way I have
room for the tree and the cauldrons!
