You thought Harry was done???

Of course not, I think that if William is ever to marry it will be in a Hogwarts castle, all dressed in robes and they will file out to the theme tune with wands held aloft. He will be forever in the hearts of some.

And of course I am on my next full series read through with child number five!

Best of all this weekend though is how all things Harry prompted David to sit for hours Making a T-shirt of quotes. Give the boy seven books, a tub full of sharpies and plenty of time, make him stop for water and to clear the fumes and see what he has achieved..........


Perfecting the sharpie point

It took an couple of hours to get halfway done

Searching for just the right quote

All done

It looks brilliant and was much admired by his friends on his second viewing at the cinema on Sunday. It only makes the people with him look slightly odd when he's wearing it, as you can't help but tilt this way and that to read it!

Harry- time to say goodbye.

We have read them all over and over (some of us more than others!) and are reading them from the beginning to our last child now. We have followed Harry through his journey as ours has taken us around the country to new homes and friends and read and watched and played as our children grown in number from three to five. We have marvelled at how a 6 year old boy managed to learn to read, it felt, almost overnight and then imerse himself into Harrys world., knowing it would always be htere for him as a place of comfort and magic. We have watched all the films together and apart on rainy days at home home and with excitement on birthdays, with part one of the Deathly Hallows on right now. We will then head to the cinema to watch the final installment. Full of excitement and a twinge of sadness we are ready!

Watch out we are the ones whose kids are not in school and are dressed as wizards!*




*during a conversation I had said that I could easily make a Dobby costume, but let me reasure all cinema goers in our area that Oliver will not being attending the cinema in nothing but a pillow case and large ears.
