Some people may call us obsessed, I would call us well educated in Wizarding lore. Whatevs. 2ft of Potter can brighten anyone’s day.
So this took me a while to get photos for, anyway. My special copy of Tales of Beedle The Bard arrived from amazon a few weeks/months ago and is currently resting in my grubby mitts. For those of you who only have the hardback regular copy, you suck. Here, feel jealous of the special’s magnificence…
So, you know that it’s like a huge FAKE book with a smaller book inside, right?
Ohh smooth purple velvet pouch, what wonderous artifact do you contain?!
That’s what, the best edition ever. Loves it.
And inside… Lovely.

A weekend or two ago, Adam and I paid a visit to a Castle in Northumberland. This magical place was where parts of the Harry Potter films were made! :O Amazing.
Firstly, they have this amazing Treehouse (based on Rivendell I believe, you know, Lord of the rings style) in the gardens of the castle. It’s actually a restaurant which is kinda cool!
1. Alnwick castle, 2. Dragon slaying at Alnwick castle, 3. View from Alnwick castle, 4. Alnwick castle Quidditch, 5. Alnwick castle, 6. Alnwick castle Lamp
I had a super fun time running around pretending it was Hogwarts, much much fun! We also got to go to an amazing second hand book store in Alnwick, called barter books. UK people, if you ever get a chance to go there, go in a second! They have like, thousands and thousands of second hand, amazing smelling, fabulously aged paperbacks and hardbacks. And you can just sit and read them! With a coffee! and a toastie! :D
