Harry Potter Block

"Pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy. Then it could catch the snitch for you." 
~Harry Potter
Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived. The boy that was targeted for death, but through his mother’s love survived and became one of the most famous wizards in the Wizarding World.
He was the boy that slept in the closet under the stairs; he could talk to snakes; who was one of the youngest Quidditch seekers; who battled one of the greatest evils the world had ever known; who was loved so much by his parents that they gave their lives for him; who also gave his own life for his friends and family, his name is Harry Potter. 

Ever since J.K. Rowling published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone the world has been in love with Harry. A boy that experienced one of the most tragic losses one can face, the death of his parents, and grew up in a home that despised him, yet the boy still had a kind an generous heart. He faced trolls, evil teachers, curses, and one of the most vile of men imaginable to conquer all. 

With that, I give you the Harry Potter Block. I hope you enjoy it.

Professor Minerva McGonagall

She’s a woman, she’s a cat…she’s the amazing Professor Minerva McGonagall!

After the death of Harry Potter’s parents, Professor McGonagall took on a substitute mother roll for Harry, whether or not he liked it. She took on a protector roll as the Griffindor House "Mother" (if you will). She encouraged Harry to greatness by allowing him to join the house Quidditch team, she scolded Harry (and his friends) when they needed it, such as when they were late to class or battled the troll alone, she fought like a mother bear to protect Harry from the evils that entered his life from Harry's horrible family, to the evil Professor Umbridge; and she loved him as a mother loves her child. Her quick wit, and fiesty temper made her one of my favorite characters.

Marvolo Gaunt's Ring - Horcrux #2

~That ring carried a curse of extraordinary power, to contain it is all we can hope for; I have trapped the curse in one hand for the time being --" --Severus Snape


Marvolo Gaunt was Tom Riddle's maternal grandfather. In trying to make himself invincible Tom placed a powerful curse on the ring. Unbeknownst to Tom, the stone in the ring was also known as the ressurection stone. Dumbledore later found the ring, and was tempted and put on the ring, which was the true reason that he died. Dumbledore was able to crack the stone with the sword of Griffindor and break the curse.

Harry: Excuse me sir, can you tell me where I might find Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?

Station Guard: Nine and Three-Quarters!


The Platform 9 3/4 was such an iconic place for Harry. 1st, the platform was the "door" that led Harry to the wizarding world where he would learn about him, his parents, magic, and quidditch. 2nd, The platform was where Harry met his best friend Ron Weasley and they would experience the unimaginable.

Graphs are a-coming

Hey everyone! I just wanted you all to know that I am still alive over here and working on getting my graphs finished. I do apologize for the long delay. Between working 2 jobs, sickness, exhaustion, and creative struggles I have had a hard time finding the mo-jo to get everything finished. I do want to say, that more graphs are on their way. While I may not have posted anything for a while, I have been working on getting them finished. I have the graphs for the 30x30 graphs ready to go, but I have been asked on countless occasions to make them 25x25 for those that were apart of the twoheartscrochet crochet-a-long, so shrinking these things down has not been an easy task, but I've gotten most of them done. So if you will bare (bear? bere? haha j/k) with me, You shall have the rest of the graphs as promised. Thank you so much for following along.
