Harry Potter Hogwarts Journal

Life at school--whether a regular Muggle school or Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--can be lively, complicated, dangerous, and fun. Keeping track of it all is no easy feat for a nonmagical Muggle. This 64-page, hardcover Harry Potter Deluxe Journal is the perfect place to organize thoughts and compare notes with Harry Potter about friends, school, and teachers. Two pages of stickers can be used to decorate the journal, or you can be even more creative with drawings, cutout pictures, photos, and notes. Each page, printed with a light backdrop of a stone wall, is headed with a theme or idea from the brilliant Harry Potter series to inspire the journalist: "Decidedly Nonmagical Moments," "Secret Wishes (in the Mirror of Erised)," or "Pets Only a Gryffindor Could Love." Fans of the series can test their knowledge or treat the subject heads as a creative starting point for their own stories, lists, or poems. The marbled blue cover features an illustration of Harry and his friends in a moonlit boat, approaching Hogwarts for the first time. Who knows, the next J.K. Rowling may be in our midst, just waiting for encouragement, opportunity and a place to start writing! (Ages 5 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
