Are you ready for your year at Hogwarts? Have you gone to Diagon Alley to get your supplies? If not, you can find a full supply list here (that is if you've lost your Hogwarts letter). Here are some of my supplies that I've rounded up:
Uniform: Black robes and House Scarf
Books
Wand
Cauldron
and my pet toad
Hogwarts Textbooks
A couple of months ago I was at our local library and they were giving away all these old books. I snagged a few hardcover ones thinking I could possibly make them into something new. Well, this month I came up with the idea of making Hogwart text books. With a little paint, word, and modge podge, I came up with these books.

| and I LOVE how they turned out. |
Here are our wands. We found some sticks out back and Brigg carved a couple of wands for the both of us. Then after a little sanding and some lacquer (or modge podge works) we had ourselves some nice looking wands. Super easy and durable. TUTORIAL HERE to make your own wands
For my wand I wrapped some twine around it to give it a more feminine look (like Hermiones).
Are we Harry Potter nerds? Yes. And we're still waiting for our Hogwarts letter....
