You had me at "hello" and lost me at "I don't like Harry Potter"

We all have that "something" that we obsess about, right?  Some people may obsess about clothes or food or maybe even cars.  My obsession is a little more nerdy than those things.... I obsess over all things Harry Potter.  I know, I know... witchcraft is a NO NO!  I'm not concocting poisonous potions or using any unforgivable curses with my wand (yes, I have one! But only for decoration)  I simply love the movies.  Where good triumphs over evil and puking pastilles are passed to people you don't like.  Hehe  Isn't it silly?  I'm 31 and I would watch the movies everyday if my family would let me.  My oldest children find it so funny and taunt me by saying "Harry Potter is dumb."  That kind of talk could lead to restriction.  Just Kidding, I'm not that overboard!  Maybe.

My family does something special together each night whether it be game night, YMCA night, or my favorite... movie night.  In which case, I beg and plead for them to choose Harry Potter.  It never works!  Well, this past year my husband and I purchased our first home together and I was super excited because it had an extra room upstairs for me to decorate any way I wanted.  What do you think I chose for my decor????? Come on, guys!!!!  Why Harry Potter, of course!  My very own "Harry Potter" tv room.  Y'all should see the ridiculous smile on my face every time I walk up those steps to that room.

I have searched the web and found some awesome sights that sell great, expensive-looking but cheaply priced, Harry Potter goods.  Pictures, figurines, knick knacks, scrolls, candle holders, etc.  Etsy also has some really neat pictures that I have purchased, framed and are already adorning my wall.  




My etsy purchases...



A lucky find at a thrift store in the outer banks...

A true fan is in love with the books...not the movies. I want to find a sorting hat and put it on the stool in the kitchen.

I'm in love with both the movies and the books! I've read them each quite a few times. Books are always better than the movies.

....and why don't you look online, Teresa? I saw sorting hats for sale.
