The Blog

I’ll be posting here whenever I add something new to either of my collections – or something else Harry Potter-related happens that I wanna tell you about.

 

HPkegle year 1: complete!

HPkegle year 1: complete!

A year ago, I decided to reboot this page and turn it into a blog. Last New Year's, I basically decided that I wanted to give my Harry Potter collection the love it deserves - and part of that was creating this page.  My collection grew quite a lot, although not as...

Christmas presents

Christmas presents

My family knows me well and this Christmas, gifted me with nice gifts! The first two books in Belarus (just published this year), a Lego HP chess set (Finally have all the golden anniversary figurines!) and a Hedwig sculpture to match my Fawkes. I really like these...

Facebook marketplace finds

Facebook marketplace finds

So a week and a half ago, I finally found the last of the Danish 5th edition books I was missing. The guy also had some of the new editions (8) for sale. The price was a bit on the higher side for a not mint condition book, but the 5th edition is somewhat hard to find...

Christmas at HPkegle

Christmas at HPkegle

December has arrived and this year, our Christmas tree got a bit more Potter'y. I bought a super cheap Chinese tree train and modded it to look like the Hogwarts Express! It was a pretty simple modification, and it's of course not exactly like the original, but a...

November Potter updates

November Potter updates

November has been a busy month for me, and brought on a lot of Harry Potter-related news, too. First off, I managed to get a new box of the Danish special collection. I already had the books themselves, but the box and serial number were missing in my set. I found the...

Finally, a new 2nd hand find

Finally, a new 2nd hand find

So I guess I'm not the only one feeling the current world situation with rising prices etc. I'm not critically suffering or anything, but I do have a house heated by natural gas. Which means that I haven't really felt comfortable splurging on things I don't...

The Last Lithuanian

The Last Lithuanian

Just a little update - I added the last of the Lithuanian anniversary Harry Potter books to my collection! My father-in-law has taken great care checking out my collection and figuring out which books I was missing and he's been gifting me one at every opportunity....

New Lego set: Hogwarts Icons!

New Lego set: Hogwarts Icons!

I've been in love with this set since it came out, but I didn't so much love the price tag... And since it's a Lego store exclusive, it's rarely a part of supermarket and toy store 25% off (since most of them don't have it).  So when I finally had a chance to grab it...

Birthday presents

Birthday presents

Yesterday was my friend's birthday, and we've known each other for a really long time. Growing up, we shared our HP obsession and later on, we're also cosplaying together. I wanted to get her a present that would be personal and sort of symbolize our friendship, and I...

Not Harry Potter

Not Harry Potter

Ok, so today's post is not about Harry Potter, but it is about a book, and it does feel like something magic just happened! So when I was like... 15 or something like that, I was (also) really into this one book series, Skammerens Datter (translated to English "The...
