We are preparing our first trip to Universal Studios Orlando. My daughter watched all of the movies again, but that time she was more focused and even learnt some replicas, Longbottom’s words especially at the end of The Deathly Hallows Part 2. Very moving moment (…and I alway cry when Dumbledore dies and my husband is teary-eyed when Dobby passes away….):
After our trip to Disneyworld in 2016, then New-York in 2018, we will be back to the USA next summer. It will be our last trip abroad as a family of 4, because in 2020 our son will be in college, he won’t have the same holidays…and we will be broke because of his college fees!!!!
I think it would be cute to have some nice Harry Potter-themed stuff beforehand. It’s obvious we will buy souvenirs at USF, but I found nice things online.
Clothing
Son and husband are both great fans of the e-shop Qwertee. My son has 2 dozens at least of tees of various designs. I love them BUT unfortunately my hips don’t fit 😥 ! Every day there 3 new designs at bargain price.
Accessories
Earrings!!!! You know my love for earrings. I don’t usually wear earrings during school days, but when we’re invited, it’s just the moment I choose to wear fun earrings. Etsy offers a wide range of cute Harry-Potter inspired earrings.

When the weather is colder, you will be happy to have socks with your favorite characters on them!!! I do love socks (at least, as much as I love earrings!). I have started a cute collection of funny socks when in Disneyworld. I have Minnie, Cheshire cat, Magician Mickey socks!!! Thus I need some Harry Potter socks…!
Dear Son told me that a Gryffindor beanie would please him too…but it had to be black (I told him that Gryffindor was gold and burgundy…it was lost on him)
For our home
There are plenty of duvet covers available. Some are rather childish, but others are really nice. The downside is that, in France, they are mostly meant for one-person bed…so saaad! I want a Harry Potter’s duvet cover!!!
What about crafting???
We are on a craft blog, aren’t we???
Let’s start with nail art. For me, it’s really creative because that’s paint and I don’t do paint because I’m really (really really!) bad at painting!!! . But I’m not sure we’ll do nail art because I clip my nails very short and my daughter bites hers…
However, it’s funny and cheap so we might give it a try.
Since I own a Silhouette Cameo (and don’t really use it), I thought that I could cut some HTV or vinyl. There are a lot of SVG files available.
I also like the idea of stamped letters. It’s so old-school!

I’ve been amazed at what stuff is around the little sorcerer. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg…
