Word of the Day…Cribbages Wizarding Crackers:Crackers are party favors used in the United Kingdom at Christmastime. Small cardboard tubes are filled with candy and trinkets, then wrapped in brightly colored paper twisted at each end. When two people pull on opposite ends of the paper, the tube bursts open with a crack and the treats inside fall out.

Quote of the Day…“Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn't think about 'Harry Potter' when I wrote 'The Bone Season.‘”-Samantha Shannon

Chapter 1: Owl Post…

Extra Credit…In a textbook Harry is reading, it says “Non-magic people (more commonly known as Muggles)”. Obviously, the writer of the textbook wouldn’t need to define the term… So why?Errol the Owl’s name could be named because of the actor Errol Flynn, OR the sound of the name (error!)Vernon/Petunia’s bedroom is right next to Harry’s

Need To Know…This first chapter begins on July 31st, 1993 (HP’s B-day)J.K. Rowling indirectly fills the reader in on what happens in previous books. However, only for Books 2-4…Wendelin the Weird liked the sensation so much, she allowed herself to be caught and burned many timesIF SCABBERS WASN’T IN THE EGYPT PICTURE, the rest of the book might have never happened!
