Places in Harry Potter

-
Sometime ago I answered this question: If you had to choose to live within a novel, which would it be? My answer was -

Without much ado Harry Potter's Hogwarts! What a place to explore! I'd like to transfigure arrogant Malfoy into a cross-eyed cockroach. *kidding* And when I feel like cutting Snape's class I'll hang out at Hagrid's hut. Then during summers head to The Burrow. As Ron Weasley says, "it's not much, but it's home."

Let's travel to England. Can you name these places in Harry Potter?



My favorite places in Harry Potter
(go left to right for names and photo source links)

1   Hogwarts the moving staircases and all the magical learning!
2   Shell Cottage a newly-weds' home must be sweet and lovely
3   Flourish and Blotts books books and books!
4   Hogsmeade appeals to the country girl in me
5   Honeydukes for your sweet tooth
6   The Leaky Cauldron when one day in Diagon Alley is not enough
7   The Burrow 'dilapidated and standing only by magic' ah!... wonderful
8   Florean Fortescue choco raspberry with chopped nuts. yum!
9   Diagon Alley shop til we drop
10 Madam Puddifoot is where we will have high tea

  1. I have never been a Harry Potter fan but I can understand the feel. I would love to live in England in general although not necessarily in a Harry Potter setting. Pride and Prejudice England is more my thing. :D

Qrookshanqs joins a quorum of witches

Prologue: Thailand's Supreme Patriarch is dead.  The whole kingdom is in mourning mode. And that also means Khaosan Road, a usual party venue, is shut down. Parties go on though but behind closed doors and kept as private and quiet as possible. And that's how -

Qrookshanqs ignores Ermione and wanders into Medusa's cave...

She comes as Grumpy Cat,
tries not to forget who she is.
Qrookshanqs is convinced that those are Nagini's ancestors on Medusa's head, and thinks what a waste of cauldron time taking photos is
A smiling one joins them and the quorum is complete. Soon they chant eye of newt, toe of frog... lizard's leg and howlet's wing. Qrookshanks, ever the grief sucker, grumbles how do witches "boil and bake" fillet of a fenney snake or wool of batat the same time? Anyone?
No one huh? Alright, grumpy mood intensifying nicely...
Until the party is peaking and she starts smiling, ruining her stance. Now she's gone queer.
Qrookshanqs…

When books die do they go to heaven? I like to think they do. Earlier I lamented the gradual departure of bookshops here and there. It is  bittersweet to succumb to book depression. Then something came up which made me think that in a traditional book lover's space this would be perfect - "a heavenly library." Or at least the look of it. Young & Battaglia is the creative genius behind this bookshelf wallpaper idea showcased by Design Year Book.

"White books on white shelves." How peaceful is that! And to me it is quite a comfort to see reminders of traditional books like this if they have to be driven off our lives by e-readers. On a fashionista note, it looks like an intelligent sort of background for a photoshoot with a dark-clad reading model, does it not?

Let's go to Budapest. Just a 5-second show that may s…
