Potter Paraphernalia (Favorite Things, Five)

As you are likely aware from the series of Harry Potter-related entries in June of this year, Herself is extraordinarily fond of all things Harry Potter.  It is therefore no surprise that these two particular items are among her favorite things:  her wand and her Monster Book of Monsters.  Both are wonderful tactile objects -- the wand of smooth varnished wood, and the book of satisfying furriness.  When she holds them, she is reminded of the immense beauty of Harry Potter's universe. 

Friends. Family. Magic.  Such a magnificent world.
