Harry Potter Jeopardy

Instead of doing a quiz this week I thought it would be fun to make a Harry Potter Trivia Jeopardy. You can play this by yourself to test your Harry Potter knowledge or you can play with some friends and make it a real Jeopardy game. Let me know if I should do more of there. Note: I'm planning on continuing my blog next year so this wont be the last post :) https://www.superteachertools.us/jeopardyx/jeopardy-review-game.php?gamefile=2591879#.XPp-oxZKjcs

My Favorite Store: Primark

Image
Primark is the best store for practically anything, other than food of course, its no target. But its the absolute best store to buy anything from home goods to clothes. If you're a fan of Disney or Harry Potter this is the best place to buy any and all of your merchandise. And the best part is...it costs practically nothing! At least when you're in Europe. (There are a few stores in America but its still expensive...shipping costs and stuff). So to provide a little background; Primark is a retail clothing store from Ireland (there they call it Pennys). They have ridiculously cheap products. Every time I go to Germany I go to Primark and just spend all of my money. In this blog I'm going to be mentioning euros a lot so just know that one dollar is about 1.12 euros. When I went to Germany I spent about 150 euros which sounds like a lot but I got 3 HUGE bags and two little ones full of stuff for it, Scented Candy Floss Candle  (Honey Dukes Collection) so it was a gr

10 Gifts To Get The Ravenclaw In Your Life

This is the second edition of my "What to buy for this house series". If you read my last one on Hufflepuffs then you know that I enjoy buying presents but I'm not terrific at it. So I compiled this list for all the like minded people out there who are struggling to buy presents for the Ravenclaws in their lives. Again I just want to mention that obviously these ideas can be for anyone but are definitely Ravenclaw approved. Courtesy of Etsy 1. Note Pad I know this probably sounds boring but there are so many awesome not pads out there! Ravenclaws tend to get their best ideas at the most unconventional times. Such as when they are falling asleep or are in the shower. That's why we should help out our intellectually inclined friends and buy them a cool waterproof note pad...yes it exists. 2.Thermos Ravenclaws are always on the go whether mentally or physically...wow deep. So they need coffee that travels with them. Most of the Ravenclaws I know are also ded

Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans Tutorial

Image
This tutorial is short and easy and is super fun to make for a bigger event. Since its rather low effort its a good party favor or just a fun thing to make for yourself or your friends. I made these for a Harry Potter party I had a while back and they were a big hit. What makes Bertie Botts so fun to make is that you can make them very accurate since gross jelly beans became a thing when bean boozled came out. So now you could actually get a bogie flavored bean... I don't know if that's a good thing but at least it speaks true to the Harry Potter series. Supplies:  1. Normal jelly beans 2. Bean boozled jelly beans 3. Bertie Botts box printable (Link Below) 4. Scissors 5. Glue gun 6. Plastic wrap or clear plastic from something else ( be creative) Note: Bean boozled packages contain normal and gross jelly beans so the normal jelly beans are optional or vice versa depending on how accurate you want to be  Steps: 1. Print out the box (preferably

DIY Dragon Eggs

Image
If you're as dragon obsessed as I am then you will love these dragon egg crafts. I chose to make my dragon eggs resemble the eggs from the Tri-wizard Tournament (Including the golden egg) but you can make your dragon eggs look however you want. Some steps may vary depending on what dragon breeds you're going for but basically its the same thing. And at this point, especially if you're not a harry Potter fan, you're probably really confused why anyone would be this obsessed with dragon eggs that they would even think about the breed. All I can say is...yeah its weird but you're still reading this so what does that say about you. So if you're still here out of genuine interest then by all means have fun!     Materials: 5 Styrofoam Easter eggs (any size) Air dry clay Whatever colors of acrylic paint that you want (But if you're following my examples then you will need gray, white, black, red, gold, pink, blue, brown, and green) Mod podge or sealant spray

10 Gifts To Get The Hufflepuff In Your Life

I don't know about you but I struggle with buying presents for other people. I love buying presents but I'm not good at it. Especially when it comes to the Hufflepuffs in my life. I mean, how many times have you asked someone what they want for their birthday and they just say; "Oh, I don't know." or "I don't care. I'll like anything you get me."? Well those people are usually Hufflepuffs. Why? Well, because they don't like to ask for things and they feel bad when they do. Now I'm not saying these gifts are exclusively for Hufflepuffs but in my experience, they tend to be the ones who enjoy them most. I also asked my best friend, who is a Hufflepuff, if she would like these things so there's some truth behind them. Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons 1. Succulents Hufflepuffs like to care for things and enjoy the positive vibes that these plants bring to a room. Its such a nice feeling when you see a Hufflepuff get super excited ab
