Of House-Elves and Children's Tales...

You may call me crazy, but here's how I feel: I belong in the Wizarding world - the "Harry Potter" world. I'm sure that I'm actually a witch and my Hogwarts letter got lost somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. Which is why, lately, I've been surrounding myself with things that remind me of this world: J.K. Rowling's books and the movies based on them, of course, but also pictures reminiscent of that universe, like pictures of quirky homes and greenhouses, feathers, forests, and old-time villages.

A witch's home 

























Owl post 


Hogwarts (though I'm technically too old for it) 

Lessons (like Herbology) 

























The Forbidden Forest and all the treasures it hides 

























Hogsmeade or getting off the Hogwarts Express 

























The "parts" of the wizarding world I would most enjoy experiencing would be owl post (I'd love to have my own owl), Flourish & Botts, the Great Hall and the Hogwarts Express ride from Platform 9¾ to Hogwarts.


If you're a fan of the "Harry Potter" universe, tell me what your favorite parts would be!


Title comes from my favorite "Harry Potter" quote, said by Dumbledore in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" (written by J.K. Rowling of course!):


"Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped."
