Where wizards and muggles unite.
Vehicles The Knight Bus- This was an excellent example. A special, magic bus, it could leap whole oceans at a time. The Weasley Car- It WAS a normal car… until Mr. Weasley bewitched it to fly. Eventually, it escaped and ran wild in the forest. The Beauxbatons Carriage- The one in the Goblet of Fire... Continue Reading →
At the beginning of the third book in the series, the Prisoner of Azkaban, Rowling introduced Harry, as usual. Then Ron, who didn’t know how to use a phone, tried to give Harry a call, and the results were funny. He actually reminds me of myself, for I was always bad at using a phone.... Continue Reading →
I was a delayed reader, but I finally learned how to read the Harry Potter books. I re-read the first one, then I completed the second one. Flushed with success and an increased vocabulary, I longed to proceed to the third one. I was eleven years old. My dad, however, had other ideas. “There’s too... Continue Reading →

I love exploring the art museum. The one I most often go to is the Kimbell Art museum in Fort Worth. Not only did I attend for a homeschool formal, but also on my own time. To me, there’s nothing more enjoyable than standing in church, nature, or an art museum. Of course, they are... Continue Reading →
When I heard how people were acting about the coronavirus- all the masks, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer, almost all of which do nothing to stop the virus, I said to myself, “Hmm, I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere before.” It turns out, I have. In the Harry Potter books, Voldemort returned a second... Continue Reading →
