Moving the blog :)

Hi everyone :)

As most of you know I have this Harry Potter themed blog and a book blog. I have decided to combine these two into a new wonderful venture called:

A Muggle's Magical Book Blog!

I hope this new look and combined content will still delight, and I hope to be posting even more, now that my attention is not devided between the two blogs.


I will no longer be posting here, but instead HERE

Harry Potter Hotel!

It seems a Harry Potter Hotel is going to be opened just outside of London, where the movies have been filmed. It is said to include 120 rooms and tours.

Now we just have to see how its going to look and how Harry Potterish its going to be :)

Harry Potter deluxe first edition sells for lots

Source: http://www.mostlymaps.com/Map/Books/Books/45959
"A set of Harry Potter "deluxe" first editions was auctioned for £17,800"
"The lots were not "true" first editions, but firsts in Bloomsbury's "deluxe" range, which the publisher only began printing in 1999 after the Potter spell was already widespread."
I wish I had that much money!
