Harry Potter was born on July 31, 1980 which makes July 31, 2020 Harry’s 40th Birthday!! I know- crazy, right?! Anyway, my niece, Dublin, has been powering through The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook: From Cauldron Cakes to Knickerbocker Glory by Dinah Burcholz, and I got to thinking: What if we made an entire meal for Harry’s Birthday like we did for Be Our Guest? Then, Kyle and I got to thinking how much fun we had doing an entire month of princesses during the start of quarantine, that we decided to do an

ENTIRE WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION OF HARRY’S BIRTHDAY!!

Join us!

So for each day, we’ll watch one of the movies, make a themed meal (complete with dessert or sweet treat!), and a coordinating cocktail! You can watch the movies along with us and make the coordinating foods + drinks, or use them as inspiration for your own Return to Hogwarts (pop culture challenge beginning September 1, 2020!)

Sometimes we’ll be sharing fun activities that you can do along with the movies- for example, coloring along with the colorful characters in Fantastic Beasts is always a good idea!

Getting so excited for our Wizarding World Week at the end of the month 🤓!! (#ad) These @crayola twistsable colored pencils are one of my favorite arts+crafts supplies, especially for travel. & yes- I am an adult who travels with colored pencils 😂. I find coloring books one of BEST ways to relax & it gives me something to do when I’m on work trips alone in my hotel room. 🖍 These feel like crayons when you work with them, but shade like colored pencils- ➡️ swipe to see how they work with shading! 🖍 Shop these products with the link in my bio, or over on #liketoknowit ! 🖍 #sometimesivacay #sometimesicolor #sometimesimawizard #harrypotter #fantasticbeasts #colormewizards #crayola #crayolaaffiliate #crayolatwistables #childatheart #artsandcrafts #coloredpencils #wizardingworld #coloringbook #niffler #wizardingworldofharrypotter #jacobkowalski #nerdgirl #potterhead #meditation #nomaj #travelblogger #vacationblogger #travelforwork #relax #family #sundayfunday 🖍 http://liketk.it/2SGqR #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Hi 👋!! I’m Katy, it’s been a while since I introduced myself and there are a lot of new faces on my feed – so I thought I’d share a bit about myself. 💭 Tell me something about you in the comments 🤗 ✨ I probably know more about Harry Potter than most people you’ve met… I’m not bragging, I’m just that much of a nerd 🤓. As a kid, I collected every snipping from every teenybopper magazine about the books and movies, kept journals analyzing the books & noting inconsistencies, and attended every book + movie midnight premier and visited The Wizarding World at @universalorlando a week after it opened!! 🐍 I participated in the beta testing of Pottermore and have been a proud Slytherin for almost a decade! ✨ I took my first trip to Disney World when I was 7 and since then have spent more than 100 days in the parks. Not nearly as many as some, but more than enough to form my obsession. 💕 I am an avid pin collector, as a kid I loved the villains, I have a major affinity for the sidekicks, my all time favorite character is Stitch & some of my other favs are: 👸Merida 🧚🏼‍♀️ Rosetta 🦸Iron Man & Captain America 🎢 Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, even though Magic Kingdom’s my fav, but Hogwarts will always be the best castle!! ✨ I’m a lawyer- specifically a federal criminal defense attorney at a private firm based out of atlanta, but we practice all over the country & that’s how I started this page: “Sometimes I travel for work, but sometimes? Sometimes I Vacay 😍”! ✨ I started a LIKEtoKNOW.it account, the proceeds from which I’m using to do some pro bono work! If you click on any of my links where I might get a commission, this is what I’ll be using the funds for! ✨ I’m engaged 💍! Kyle and I met in undergrad at Georgia-Tech and exactly 6 years later while visiting Hawaii, he proposed 😍. We’ve had to push our wedding twice because of COVID-19 🤦🏼‍♀️- we’re now hoping for late May 2021 🤞🏻 ✨ Shop this look & these books ➡️http://liketk.it/2SgAC #liketkit @liketoknow.it ✨ #sometimesivacay #sometimesimawizard #returntohogwarts2020
