    knittingismagic – I will definitely purchase if I don’t win! My 24 year old is so into Harry Potter and loves my knitting – each year we go to Milwaukee and listen to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra play along with one of the Harry Potter movies! This is sooooo exciting. My daughter is a Hufflepuf and I’m a Gryffindor.

    My daughter is such a Potter-maniac!!! She doesn’t knit but I would love to have the book to knit a sweater for her and then present her with the book and the sweater. Knitting is magic and there is no better way to express your love than to give a gift from the heart.
