The Secrets of Dumbledore, entertaining but mainly for Potterhead faithful

It was a dark, cool movie theater and I dozed off for just a second. However, it was during that second that my son’s friend poked me in the arm. “A muggle is someone who doesn’t have any magic, like a regular person”, he said. “Thank you, that much I knew about the series”, was my reply. He was just being kind because on the way to the movie theatre I told him that I’d only seen one Harry Potter film, hadn’t read any of the books, and had seen the first Fantastic Beasts film way back in 2016. This opened up a universe worth of ways for him to illustrate how great the books are and why each film in the cannon matters. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third film in the series of five and, based on his opinion, will build upon how much that audience reveres these characters.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is an entertaining movie, but will really please the Potterhead faithful.
C’mon in, the water’s fine Hogwartians

The Unofficial Hogwarts Cookbook For Kids, cookery for older kids

“Something delicious”, is my response when the kids ask me what’s for dinner. Most of the time I have a plan, but sometimes I go rogue and toss something together on the fly. It’s also one of the ironic bits of life that neither of our children has shown any interest in Harry Potter. We’re a true muggle family, but that’s OK. The Unofficial Hogwarts Cookbook For Kids has dozens of recipes with a subtle nod to Mr. Potter and his surroundings. However, the white font on the yellow cover clearly states that the book is not associated with J.K. Rowling, her publishers or even Warner Bros. Granted, it also says ‘unofficial’ in the title, but now that that’s clear, let’s get cooking, in a kid-friendly and not too complex way hopefully.
