The beloved JK Rowling, my fantasy mother (I would live in her castle in Scotland and be rich, fabulous and magical with her, duh) and author of the Harry Potter series, has written another book! It’s an adult mystery, entitled The Casual Vacancy: When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town(…)
Loving this series of Fictional Character Birthday Calendars from Flavor Wire. What not-real person do you share a birthday with? April 23rd yields a just ok character for me – some person from the video game Tekken. My mother though? She shares a birthday with Lord Voldemort. Interesting…she never told me she was a(…)
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3JaOAynaeE&feature=player_embedded Brad Neely is a genius. I’m calling it. Not only did he write and perform Wizard People, Dear Reader, a hilarious alternate track to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, but he also has written some amazing and surprisingly catchy comic songs. Two of my favorites are Now We Can Make Love, which you(…)
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ubmjE21SY HP and the gang date, get in trouble and generally have a good time in this fake trailer re-imagining the Harry Potter movies as a feel good teen flick. I still love the way Harry gets all cocky about being “the chosen one”. Lulz!
Earlier this summer, Alhambra, CA’s Gallery Nucleus hosted what looked like a truly amazing Harry Potter Art Exhibition. (You can see the pictures here!) Illustrator and author John Hendrix created this amazing “Expecto Patronum” drawing for the event and I can think of no better way to say “PEACE OUT, DEMENTORS” than hanging this baby(…)
You’ve read all the books and seen all the movies…twice. Midnight book openings, midnight movies, it seemed like the fun of Harry Potter would never end! But now, after the awesome Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2, you find yourself adrift in a sea of wizardless boredom. How to escape your post-HP doldrums? Try(…)
Matthew Lewis, who plays Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter movies, is all grown up and looking good. It’s hard to believe this dude is the same awkward ten-year-old we first met in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I’m looking forward to seeing him in the final movie of the series (Harry Potter and(…)
Sight: Neville, Ron and Draco visit Harry backstage at How to Succeed. Have you seen Rafael Nadal’s Armani ad? STEAMY. Hipster Animals: our alt-er counterparts? Harry Potter + Mean Girls = comic genius. Amazing microphotography showing grains of sand at 250 times their size. Sound: “Billie’s Blues” = one of our favorite songs by Ms.(…)

As I am sure it is becoming increasingly evident, we are all pretty huge Harry Potter fans around here. With the release of the new trailer, I got to thinking about all the Harry Potter related stuff in the world and got curious what wonders Etsy might hold. From wands to scarfs and everything in(…)
