I’ve been itching to go an adventure and dreaming up all of the awesome and geeky things I could do, so I decided to write a post about my Harry Potter and Wizarding World specific bucket list items. Continue reading
Underrated: Queenie Goldstein
If you have seen the Fantastic Beasts film, you will know who Queenie is. For those that don’t, she is the younger sister Tina, who was one of the more significant characters in the film. Upon my first viewing of Fantastic Beasts, I didn’t give much attention to Queenie. She isn’t the strong, female lead I tend to love. However, given more thought and looking toward The Crimes of Grindelwald, I have decided Queenie deserves more love and appreciation.
Continue reading
Board Games for Gryffindors
With the second Fantastic Beasts film coming out this weekend, I wanted to do some wizarding world themed posts. And I had one house left in this series, the brave and courageous Gryffindors, so here are board games that Gryffindors will love. Continue reading

Hufflepuffs to me seem like the house most likely to play board games together. So here is my list of what games I think they would take to the table. Continue reading
Back to Hogwarts Tag
It’s time to get back to Hogwarts! Why not celebrate it with a quick tag? Let’s get to Platform 9 3/4 and start! Continue reading
Board Games for Slytherins
You bet the most cunning house is playing some board games. Slytherin’s were the easiest house to find games for and this list could have gotten so much longer but I restrained myself to these five games. Continue reading
Board Games for Ravenclaws
They may have Wizard Chess, but witches and wizards can find great entertainment from muggle games as well. So I decided to curate lists of games that witches and wizards of each house would enjoy. And of course, I have to start with my own house, Ravenclaw. Continue reading
First Look: Hogwarts Mystery
Finally! I’ve been waiting for the first game to come from Portkey Games to finally release and here it is: Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. After playing the first few chapters, I wanted to give my initial thoughts on this highly anticipated mobile game. Continue reading
Favorite Moments From The Sorcerer’s Stone
I recently finished listening to the Harry Potter and Sorcerer’s Stone audiobook and of course loved every nostalgic minute of it. Since it has been a very long time since I first read the books, going back was a whole new experience. And I wanted to share some of my favorite moments from going through this story a second time. Continue reading
Favorite Fictional Siblings
Yesterday was my brother’s birthday, so I wanted to do a post to celebrate our siblinghood since he is my one and only brother. So why not celebrate some great siblings throughout fandoms. This list was curated with his help, so double the sibling power, and one big nostalgia trip. Continue reading
The Hogwarts Tag
I have been spending quite a lot of time on Pottermore, mostly for blog posts and school work (I am designing a Fantastic Beasts website!). And after doing the Another Harry Potter Tag, I thought about making a tag that asks all sorts of questions about what we would do if we were Hogwarts students. So here we go! Continue reading
Favorite Fan-Made Harry Potter Content

Another Harry Potter Tag
It’s never a bad time to do a Harry Potter tag right? I found this one while searching for new tags and post topics to do, so enjoy me fangirling over the wizarding world again. Continue reading
Underrated: Fantastic Beasts
I really enjoy the magical creatures of the Harry Potter world. It is one of the lesser loved areas, but since the Fantastic Beasts films have come out more love is given to these creatures. And while the world has come to love the Niffler, there are so many more beasts and creatures that could use some love. Continue reading
Fantastic Beasts Mobile Game Review
While we all excitedly wait for all of the new games to come from Portkey Games to transport us into the wizarding world, I came across this little gem in Google Play. This is a game from Warner Bros. itself, so it has all of our favorite music, creatures, and details from the series. But how is it as a game overall? Continue reading
Voldemort: Origins of the Heir Review
This is a spoiler-free review
Excitement in the Wizarding World fandom has been caused by the release of a fan film called Voldemort: Origins of the Heir. The unofficial film is available to watch for free, so I decided to take an hour and watch this re-telling of the history of Voldemort. Continue reading
Wizarding World Crate Unboxing and Review
After seeing some unboxings of the first Wizarding World Crate, I decided to check it out and get the March box, which is Hogwarts House Pride. I’m a Ravenclaw, so my stuff is Ravenclaw products, but all of the house items are the same, just house specific. Let’s say “Alohomora!” and open this box. Continue reading
Underrated: Remus Lupin
In a long line of ever-changing Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, Lupin stands to be the best, despite his condition. His presence is so significant and powerful, but often not recognized or acknowledged anymore. Continue reading
Funko Wishlist: Wizarding World Edition
So I have fallen into the pit that is Funko Pops, even more than I was before. I now have a list on Amazon called Funkos! that is just a list of what I want. And a lot of those are from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Easily 75% are Harry and his friends, but this list is the top Pops I want. Continue reading
Funko Wishlist
I have started to get my craving for Funko’s again and began looking into which ones I need and want, and wow there are a lot. These are just some of the most desired ones for myself.
What To Watch: Quidditch
Did you know that you can watch quidditch in real life, with a World Cup and everything?Sure, flying might not be directly involved, but quidditch is alive and well all around the world.
Thoughts on the Cursed Child
*SPOILER ALERT*
So, since I can’t afford a plane ticket to London and a ticket to see the Cursed Child, I ended up reading the plot breakdown back when previews took place (beginning of June) and this post is just the collection of my thoughts on what I’ve learned. Continue reading
Wizarding World Wishlist
In April, I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Hollywood. Of course, it’s a pun intended, magical experience, but if I could make changes and additions, this is what I would want.
Ilvermorny Sorting: Harry Potter Characters
With the release of the houses for Ilvermorny happening last week, I thought it would be interesting to see where our beloved characters from the original series fit into their American counterpart.
Ilvermorny Sorting Guide
Just this week, Pottermore released a sorting quiz for the American wizarding school, Ilvermorny. And, of course, the sea of people that is the Potter fandom went to the site to be sorted, as did I. But, after being sorted, my biggest question was “What does this mean?” And now this is your guide to understanding your new house.
Misconceptions of Gryffindors
Last but not least, the one and only Gryffindor. This is the house we know the most about, or do we?
Field Trip: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I have lived the ultimate dream: I have been to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. And I have to say, it was just as amazing as you would think, and here is why.
Misconceptions of Slytherins
So, I’ve covered Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, so it’s only fair to go on to Slytherin now.
Misconceptions of Hufflepuffs
Hufflepuffs, I think, are the least discussed house in the Harry Potter universe. The majority of people only know that they exist, that Cedric Digory hailed from there, and probably respond the same way as AVPM Dumbledore did shown above. But what to we assume of them that may not be so? Continue reading
Misconceptions of Ravencalws
The Hogwarts’ houses come with stereotypes, and thus some misconceptions and generalizations of the students. As a Ravenclaw myself, I decided to set some things straight when it comes to my house.
For Alan
The man behind the potion’s teacher, a Wonderland caterpillar, a singing judge, a paranoid android, and so much more.
4 Exciting Things Coming in 2016
2015 was a very exciting year for geek culture, but now it is coming to an end. So what’s next?
My Favorite Dumbledore Quotes
Truly a man of much wisdom, Dumbledore has spoken some of the greatest quotes in the Harry Potter series. And in honor of the headmaster, I would like to list some of my favorite quotes of his.
Underrated: Hagrid
Underrated is a new series I am starting where I talk about my favorite, most underrated characters from different fandoms, stories, shows, and more. I want to highlight how important and special these characters really are. And probably the most underrated character of all is the one and only Rubeus Hagrid.
My Fantastic Beasts Wishlist
Official looks into the upcoming Potter World prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them have been released, and while we’ve seen the actors, we have yet to see any beasts. With that being said, here is my wishlist for what beasts I want them to include in the film.
My Top 5 Scenes from Harry Potter Books That Should Be In The Movies
This is certainly not a new topic at all, heck even Buzzfeed has done it. But as an avid Harry Potter fan, we spend much of our time discussing what could have or should have been with the movies. Now, while some stuff can slide, other stuff seemed crazy to cut from the final films. So here are my top 5 scenes from the books that should have been in the movies. Spoilers ahead.
