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.

 

The one that (didn’t) get away!

The one that (didn’t) get away!

I've written about this book before and how there's someone buying up all the copies from marketplace etc. and reselling them at quite a big markup. Well, finally I was faster! I got it for a really good price, and I'm really happy! I love all of my Harry Potter books...

A Magical Year

A Magical Year

I learned of this book before Christmas, but originally thought it was a Christmas book - but I learned that actually, it's an all-year calendar. Every single date of the year has a quote from one of the Harry Potter books. It also has lots of illustrations - some of...

Perfect gifts

Perfect gifts

My family in law is visiting for easter, and they always bring me the perfect gifts - this time HP2 in the Lithuanian 20th anniversary edition. I now have all 7 books in Lithuanian - 3 in the 20th anniversary edition and 4 in the original version with the Mary...

Alles klar!

Alles klar!

Today I went on a trip to visit our new kitten. He's moving in at the end of May. And since the breeder is living half-way to the German border - well, it seemed like a logical step to also visit Flensburg. And what does Flensburg have? Germans! And what do Germans...

2nd hand finds

2nd hand finds

I do regular sweeps on local marketplace pages and found a posting on some of the older editions. They're not in pristine condition, but they're quite nice and the price was really good, so I replaced my library copy of HP3 first edition with a slightly less worn...

Visit to Germany = New Harry Potter book

Visit to Germany = New Harry Potter book

There's a new edition of Harry Potter in German that I really like the artwork for, so a few visits ago, I started a new tradition: Buy a new book every time I visit. Yesterday, I went once again and got me the 4th copy. Since I've been away from my 2nd home country...

Bookdepository order

Bookdepository order

Bought myself a few books from Book depository! Now I have all the illustrated books that came out so far - somehow the 3rd one was rarer than the rest. The image when I ordered it had a different font, but I’m happy it came with this font, since it matches the other...

New book: Polish HP1!

New book: Polish HP1!

With this post, I really want to take a moment to appreciate my dad. He is such an awesome person. I know a lot of people don't have supportive parents. They have parents who tell them to grow up and get adult hobbies. Adults don't collect Children's books in various...

Illustrated editions

Illustrated editions

I snagged these two beauties off Facebook Marketplace at half price compared to what they cost at local stores and they just arrived by mail today! The first one has only been browsed through carefully and the 2nd one is still in foil. The illustrated editions are...

It is complete!

It is complete!

I finally managed to get the last one of the Ravenclaw-edition of the HP books! I'm a bit sad I didn't get to get the other houses before this version is going out of print (the hardback singles version), but at least I managed to get all of the Ravenclaw books before...
