The Black Kookaburra (BK) has a whole range of pin plans in the works, but the first official […]

Got my “congratulations, you survived gluten!” present-to-self in the mail last night. Yay! They are navy blue t-shirts, which is not super clear in the picture, but YAY, FUN T-SHIRTS. The left one is Belle (of Beauty and the Beast) reading a book in her signature golden dress, with the Beast and Mrs Teapot and
Just a quick one today. Mr BoyChild had a Harry Potter day at school holiday care last week, which we were both super excited about (he got to make a wand and have broom races and everything). I was even *more* excited when the Gryffindor tie I’d ordered for him a month ago arrived *exactly*

In sharp contrast to our man Draco of the last two days, I present to you one of the many, many reasons that Snape is a jerk: See, unlike Draco, Snape is now what we call a ‘legal adult’. Wait, there’s a quote from the queen herself about this… Yes, Draco is approaching maturity in

Literally nothing I said yesterday is mutually exclusive with this, just saying. Yes. He does crappy things because he wants to make his parents proud. Agreed. See: yesterday. Hmm. (Also, noting that he is redeemable, or that he COULD have been nice if things had been different, is a long way from claiming that he
The fan attraction to Draco isn’t “white boys always get forgiven”. It’s the slightly gut-chilling recognition that “there, but for the grace of God, walk I”; the knowledge that, with the wrong parents, in the wrong time, in the wrong place, many of us could BE that person.

Another cake order this week, this time for a Harry Potter birthday cake. They requested the ‘assorted items’ look, so that’s what we went with. I wasn’t planning to add in the invisibility cloak, but I went to put the hat and wand on the cake, and it was brown-on-brown and that was terrible. So

Since 1) I’m getting a lot of hits for this at the moment (presumably because of my Crimes of RowlingGrindelwald movie review) and 2) I had to google the answer myself upon exiting the cinema, because the dang movie made me question things I thought I knew about the HP universe, let me lay the

I love Harry Potter, and anything associated. You could probably serve me a pile of Harry-Potter flavoured dog poop at this point and I’d at least give it a go, because I am that invested. So when I saw someone on Twitter a week or two ago complaining that JK should have just staaahhped after

It shouldn’t come as a big surprise that I am a pretty big fan of Harry Potter – world, series, characters, all of it. And, probably like many readers, I empathised with Harry, and also Hermione, and fancied myself a bit of a Gryffindor. So when Pottermore came out and I could finally get that
