My DIY commemorative bookmark for the new edition of Ancient Runes Made Easy, would be a sleek, parchment-like background with an antique look and feel. At the top, I would write “eihwaz” which means “defense”, for protection. Along the sides of the bookmark, I’d add shiny golden borders inspired by rune carvings, creating a frame that mimics old rune stones in a certain way. In the centre, the book’s title would be written in elegant cursive handwriting, with smaller runes like Ansuz, Raidho, Berkano and Wunjo scattered along the bottom. The bookmark would also include a ribbon tassel, which reminds me of ancient scrolls.

Belated happy birthday, Reyyan!! Hope you had a Gryfftastic birthday!

Thank you for hosting. It was a bit complicated for sure, but that made it more fun. Making those strategic decisions definitely added to the overall vibe of the event. I have thoroughly enjoyed it! Although I must say the marble search was pretty tedious haha!

Part 1: I would most like to borrow "The Standard Book of Spells (Vol. 1-7)" by Miranda Goshawk, because I aspire to become an Auror after graduating from Hogwarts. Mastering spells is essential for that role, and I also want to make sure that I can cast all spells perfectly. In addition to that, I'm also training to become a strong duellist, with the goal of becoming a duelling champion at Hogwarts, just like Professor Flitwick was. Having these books will help me sharpen my skills and prepare for both my future career and the challenges of duelling, allowing me to excel in both areas. Part 2: I’d like to suggest "Advanced Potion-Making" by Libatius Borage and "Magical Drafts and Potions" by Arsenius Jigger for Light Reading. So far, no book specifically on potion-making itself, has been featured, despite "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" by Phyllida Spore being included. However, as we know, Spore's book focuses on potion ingredients rather than “the subtle science and exact art of potion-making.” In my opinion, these iconic books are essential for any serious student of Potions, and provide an in-depth knowledge of potion-making methodologies and techniques, that go beyond just the knowledge of ingredients. Hence, I believe, featuring them would be of great value to the Light Reading collection.

The box sets always had Ludo on one side and Snakes-n-Ladders on the other, so we’d play both games. But Ludo was my favourite since 2, 3, or 4 people could join in. Often, it would be my mom, dad, and me, but sometimes my grandma would join too. I felt a lot of nostalgia while working on this collage.

Cricket originated during the Saxon or Norman times in the Weald, an area in south-east England. The first definite written reference dates back to the late 16th century. While some speculate that cricket originated in France or Flanders, the earliest speculative reference from 1300 mentions King Edward II playing at “creag and other games” in Westminster and Newenden which experts believe means "fun and games" rather than the suggestion that “creag” was an Old English word for “cricket”. It is possible that cricket began as a children's game and remained so for several generations before it was adopted by adults around the early 17ᵗʰ century. It may have also evolved from the sport called “bowls”, which involved a batsman using a stick or farm tool to hit a ball made of sheep's wool, a stone, or a small lump of wood, that is being aimed at a target or “wicket” such as a stool, tree stump, or a gate.

I really, really loved this game. So, I played 10 levels of it. Haha! :D

Welcome back, listeners, to the annual Broom Race here in the skies of Sweden! It's a thrilling 450-kilometre course, and the flyers are truly pushing their limits today. The weather is quite tricky, with strong gusts of wind and intermittent rain. As if that wasn't enough, the top three contestants are now approaching the infamous dragon reservation. Look at that! Billy Jackson is in the lead, manoeuvring brilliantly to avoid that Swedish Short-Snout! Just behind him, Michelle Parkinson and Lucian Anderson are neck and neck. The dragons are adding a whole new level of danger and excitement. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting race!
