When I told you about the FFP bowling night last month, I forgot to mention another highlight of my night. There was a toy clearance sale outside the bowling alley, and to my great delight (cue in the squee-ing!), I found new plush dolls for my HP collection: Hagrid and Hedwig!
They were a real steal, considering I haven’t seen these in years, and the prices were quite reasonable, so I scooped them up and marched them over to the counter.
I found my Harry doll years ago in a bargain bookstore, and until now I am kicking myself for not buying the Ron and Hermione dolls along with it (I meant to come back for them but they were gone a few days later!). At least now I have Hedwig and Hagrid.
Hedwig’s always been a dilemma for us when we have Harry Potter parties — it’s hard to find a stuffed snowy owl, and we’ve run through the gamut of generic owls over the years.
Finally, Hedwig!
The Gryffindor collar adds a nice touch, don’t you think?
And here’s Hagrid!
Oh, and I got a couple HP gifts for my birthday —
Thai Harry Potter from Mika (Yay!)
And this:
A Ravenclaw shirt from Dianne!
Now if only I could put an Undetectable Extension Charm on my bookshelves!
WOW! I also have that kind of shirt, Hufflepuff, though.
I have Ravenclaw robes, too :)
Love the plushies!
This is a very timely post. JKR our queen just announced a soon-to-be-published novel from her new publisher! *jumps in joy*
Squeee!!!!
