Last night Eva and her friend Maryana went to Pea Poddery to create a special piece of pottery. They were also there for Harry Potter Trivia night. Now, Eva reads Harry Potter almost nightly. She has read the first book several times and then books 2 & 3. She has the illustrated versions of the books and loves them. Even before she got those she read my copies so many times that she actually broke book three.

The illustrated copies of the book are beautiful and I can understand why she’d want to keep reading and re-reading these books. The world of Harry Potter is an amazing one. It has certainly brought out some major creativity in Eva. She writes her own stories and has created her own characters, too. She and Maryana went by the team name, Granger Girls. They were so excited about winning the game. Allison said that they wee squealing with laughter and excitement all the way home. Eva nearly bounced up the walkway when she got home.

Allison told me that she had won last night but not to say anything because Eva wanted to be the one to tell me. When I got home I was ready to be super surprised. she started telling me about the event and when she got to the part where she was going to tell me that they had won Andrew walked in and said, “She won”. I was quite upset with him. Both Allison and I spoke to him about how disrespectful it was to do that. You don’t just steal someone’s moment. It is such a jerk move. We talked all about it together and his lunch note even had a message about such things.

Cut to tonight. Continue reading Big Time Harry Potter Winner

A Tremendous Harry Potter LEGO Find

Harry Potter LEGO Game

On Sunday night I got a notification that there were new LEGO sets on the Facebook Yard Sale site. I immediately noticed this one for the Harry Potter Hogwarts game. This was a game that came out around the time of Heroica and more games by LEGO. That was also the time when LEGO was producing Harry Potter sets. While I never did pick up any of those sets, the kids weren’t into it and there wasn’t much extra money, I do keep my eyes and ears open for them now. Eva is a huge Harry Potter fan and I knew that she’d be excited about this find. What’s better is that the game was only $10 and it is factory sealed. Perfect! I picked it up this morning from the home of the seller who is only one town away. I plan to play the game with the kids and also play it with Brian on Built from Bricks some week on our Livestream show. This week we are talking about the LEGO city that he’s been building but when we need another topic we will head to this one.
