I am so sad I couldn't keep a copy of Charmed Knits from the first shipment. I'm planning to put up a display of things knit from the book & while I have no book, things are not getting knit...
Luckily it looks like I'll have more copies on Monday so the wait won't be too bad.
A cute little weasley out of L.Harding Kashmir Aran is first on the list (Kashmir Aran has all the house colors, plus it's washable! who could ask for a better yarn)
So, I do have a confession to make... I haven’t read a single one of the Harry Potter Books. Not one. I've seen bits & pieces of the movies on tv. That's about it.
I have a very good excuse for it though.
When the first book came out I was at the rebellious high school age where I hated anything that was mainstream & Harry Potter just had too much of a craze about it to be cool.
Now I know better.
I'm also the obsessive type. Once I start reading these books I'll probably make it through all of them in about a month. It's not unheard of for me to read a novel in a night (obviously sleeping doesn't happen that night, but a good book is much more important than sleep). I'm waiting till the final book is released, then I'm going to devour the whole lot of them.
I have no excuse for not seeing more of the movies. I keep meaning to go see them in the theater, but it never seems to happen. Perhaps because I don't want to go by myself? I don't know. I guess my official excuse is I like to read books before I go see the movie (I reread each of the Lord of the Ring novels before seeing the movie. I believe I remember often finishing them as the previews were running).
So, when it comes to trivia for the HSKS all I can really say is, TGFG (Thank God for Google)
Trivia #1
What's the name of this potion?
This potion has the colour of molten gold, and while exposed to the air, large drops will leap like goldfish above the surface without spilling.
Felix Felicis
Trivia #2
Which book is this line from?
"Harry and Cho were now too embarrassed to look at each other, let alone talk to each other; what if Ron and Hermione started going out together, then split up? Could their friendship survive it? Harry remembered the few weeks when they had not been talking to each other in third year; he had not enjoyed trying to bridge the distance between them. And then, what if they didn't split up? What if they became like Bill and Fleur, and it became excrutiatingly embarrassing to be in their presence, so that he was shut out for good?"
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Trivia #3
Who utters these words?
"Oh I am glad I'm not on duty. I wouldn't fancy having to go and tell the Irish they've got to stop celebrating."
Mr. Weasley
