Harry Potter

To celebrate/mourn the upcoming premiere of the very last sniff film installment of the Harry Potter Saga, here are some really gorgeous house crests! What house would you most like to belong to, cuties? I'm partial to Ravenclaw myself. "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."

Wear your house colors with a little more panache than the usual stripes.

I solemnly swear I am drinking hot beverages.

Potions class would be so much more interesting if the cauldrons were edible.

Real books cause papercuts and have too many words. Start off a little easier.

I love the Deathly Hallows symbol. To people who know, it's an incredibly powerful message, to those who don't, it's still a really cool looking shape. Perfect for anyone!

Industrious Gryffindor girls magically weave their own accessories. Can we get that spell over here? I could use a new headband!

Edible star glitter! I will always be blown away by the variety of food decorations that look inedible but are in fact safe! Also, the little fondant mug on top of this cupcake is filled with butterbeer so you get a little sip before you eat the creamy goodness below. Genius.

I love Harry Potter, and these are adorable, but all the knits in my closet are weeping with fear for their future.

A truly top-notch seeker wouldn't give up the snitch after a Quidditch match, they'd hold onto it as a badge of honor. I know I would.

Books are for reading, not eating! Silly bakers, don't you know that serious Harry Potter fans won't be able to bring themselves to harming these precious books?

With so many snitches this game is hardly fair. Even so, wouldn't it be nice for someone else to have a change? It's a leveling of the playing field if you will. We can all play seeker!
