Harry Potter Crafts

After school this afternoon, Madeleine decided to delve into some self-designed Harry Potter crafts. 

She made a Golden Snitch:

Hedwig and Polyjuice Potion:

(I'm not sure whose socks she drew on for Hedwig.  I don't even want to ask.)



And best of all, a Sorting Hat!  We all took turns being sorted.  Madeleine went first:

MADELEINE: Next up is Madeleine Rowe! 
(moment of silence)
MADELEINE: Hufflepuff!

Really?  I don't see her in Hufflepuff.

MADELEINE: Next up is Ethan Rowe!
(not even a second of silence)
MADELEINE: Slytherin!

MADELEINE: Julia!  Your turn!
JULIA: What?
ME: You have to get sorted by the Sorting Hat.
JULIA: But I already know I'm in Ravenclaw.
ME: But Madeleine would like you to get sorted.
JULIA: Oookaaaay.
MADELEINE: Next up is Julia Rowe!
(moment of silence)
MADELEINE: Ravenclaw!


I also got Hufflepuff.  I don't have a picture of myself with the Sorting Hat on, because NOBODY WAS BOTHERED TO TAKE ONE OF ME, but that's okay.

Now Madeleine is eating her dinner with all her Harry Potter crafts beside her, calling out "Whooo wants to be in the Rowe Family Book Cluuuuub?"

I can't keep up with this kid.  Yesterday it was a homemade musical instrument, today it's Harry Potter paraphernalia and now a book club?  I'm lucky if I have one creative production a month; Madeleine has about 20 a day!
