Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

This was the famous letter that started it all so this letter started all of us on our journey with Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Luna, and all the others through Hogwarts and beyond. This was when we entered the unknown wizarding world with Harry Potter.

So this was what made me fall in love with reading all over again. Funny story: I was actually against reading the books because I didn’t enjoy reading. When my mom was teaching fourth grade and I was in seventh, I would volunteer in her classroom. One of the boys kept telling me to read Harry Potter, but I didn’t. Then, when I stayed with my cousins, they had just gotten the Sorcerer’s Stone movie and we watched it. I was hooked so I immediately went to the school library to get the books and the rest was history.

Why Harry Potter Recipes?

Therefore, to say I love Harry Potter is an understatement. Half of my shirts are Harry Potter and I listen to the soundtracks almost daily. My oldest son came home from the hospital to the Gryffindor Common Room although now that’s my youngest son’s room theme after we moved. I also host a monthly Harry Potter Club. I’ve read the books and watched the movies so many times I’ve lost count. So yes, I have made my own wand. #hpnerd

When we started our monthly Harry Potter Club, I wanted to make foods and drinks that would go with the movies. I tried to go with the movie we were currently on, but that got too difficult at times.

Then, I decided since I have so many recipes, that July 2018 would be Harry Potter month in honor of Harry’s and J.K. Rowling’s birthday. And the month that the last two books were released. July is also the month that everything started for Harry and it’s the month that always makes me think of Harry Potter.
