I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground.
Wait. What?! 😂😂

“Ah, shut up, Dursley, yeh great prune,”
😂😂😂
Supreme Mugwump,
Supreme... What?! 😂😂
looked like a toothless walnut.
But... But, why?! 😂😂
Doris
Calm yourself, woman. 😂😂
“Like I said, yeh’d be mad ter try an’ rob it,” said Hagrid.
Little did he know... 😂😂
Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!
😦😦😂😂💀💀
some that led somewhere different on a Friday;
? 😂😂
Yet Harry couldn’t help thinking that Hagrid didn’t quite meet his eyes when he said that.
(8-5-20/6:25-27pm): He knows. He's been @ Hogwarts since the 40's; he's seen the craziness between Snape & James. 🤷🏽♀️😂
“But we’re not telling you what was in there, so keep your noses out if you know what’s good for you,”
(8-5-20/6:30pm): Well he seems nice... 🙄😂😂
“Good-bye,”
(8-5-20/6:59-7:01pm): Why's Hermione so annoying?! 🤦🏽♀️
they had to keep bringing on substitutes so the players could get some sleep.
(8-14-20/6:40am) Ohhh. That makes sense. 😆
ordinary golf balls
(8-14-20/6:43am) How would wizards have golf balls? Would they even know what they ARE?! 🤔
never forget Wizard Baruffio, who said ‘s’ instead of ‘f’ and found himself on the floor with a buffalo on his chest.”
(8-14-20/6:48am) Wait. What?! 😦😂
“Search me.”
but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose,
(8-14-20/7:14am) Well, yeah, I reckon it might... 😂😂
But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.
(8-14-20/7:21am) & so the "Golden Trio" forms! 🥰😆
the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.
(8-16-20/7:40am) 😂😂😂
Professor Flitwick, who had golden bubbles blossoming out of his wand and was trailing them over the branches of the new tree.
you needed a specially signed note from one of the teachers to look in any of the restricted books, and he knew he’d never get one. These were the books containing powerful Dark Magic never taught at Hogwarts, and only read by older students studying advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Once the holidays had started, Ron and Harry were having too good a time to think much about Flamel. They had the dormitory to themselves and the common room was far emptier than usual, so they were able to get the good armchairs by the fire. They sat by the hour eating anything they could spear on a toasting fork — bread, English muffins, marshmallows — and plotting ways of getting Malfoy expelled, which were fun to talk about even if they wouldn’t work.
Harry picked the shining, silvery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch, like water woven into material.
But we’re not stupid — we know we’re called Gred and Forge.”
(8-16-20/8:19-22am) Ah, yes, the birth of "Gred" & "Forge"! 😂😂😆
Hagrid getting redder and redder in the face as he called for more wine, finally kissing Professor McGonagall on the cheek, who, to Harry’s amazement, giggled and blushed, her top hat lopsided.
(8-16-20/8:34am) They're both drunk af! 😂😂
Their peeling, faded gold letters spelled words in languages Harry couldn’t understand. Some had no title at all. One book had a dark stain on it that looked horribly like blood.
the Cloak didn’t stop him from being solid.
It was a magnificent mirror, as high as the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, standing on two clawed feet. There was an inscription carved around the top: Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.
even a little old man who looked as though he had Harry’s knobbly knees
(8-16-20/8:53am) 😂😂
What did it matter if Snape stole it, really?
(8-16-20/8:56am) Dude, focus. 😂😂
“Strange how nearsighted being invisible can make you,” said Dumbledore, and Harry was relieved to see that he was smiling.
“Obviously, you’ve just done so,” Dumbledore smiled. “You may ask me one more thing, however.”
(8-16-20/9:01-03am) I swear, Dumbledore lowkey roasts tf outta ppl sometimes. 😩😂😂
He’d just gotten very angry with the Weasleys, who kept dive-bombing each other and pretending to fall off their brooms.
Snape’s refereeing this time, and he’ll be looking for any excuse to knock points off Gryffindor!” George Weasley really did fall off his broom at these words.
How he had managed to climb through the portrait hole was anyone’s guess, because his legs had been stuck together with what they recognized at once as the Leg-Locker Curse. He must have had to bunny hop all the way up to Gryffindor Tower.
“You’re worth twelve of Malfoy,” Harry said. “The Sorting Hat chose you for Gryffindor, didn’t it? And where’s Malfoy? In stinking Slytherin.”
“Are we allowed to speak yet?” said Ron grumpily.
(8-16-20/9:13am) 😂😂😂
“Oh, honestly, don’t you two read?
The Stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal.
but the only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, the noted alchemist and opera lover.
quiet life in Devon with his wife, Perenelle (six hundred and fifty-eight).
“A stone that makes gold and stops you from ever dying!” said Harry. “No wonder Snape’s after it! Anyone would want it.”
The next morning in Defense Against the Dark Arts, while copying down different ways of treating werewolf bites, Harry and Ron were still discussing what they’d do with a Sorcerer’s Stone if they had one. It wasn’t until Ron said he’d buy his own Quidditch team that Harry remembered about Snape and the coming match.
horrible feeling that Snape could read minds.
(8-16-20/9:25am) Uhhh... 😅😂
“Now, don’t forget, it’s Locomotor Mortis,” Hermione muttered as Ron slipped his wand up his sleeve.
The stands erupted; it had to be a record, no one could ever remember the Snitch being caught so quickly.
He’d done it — the game was over; it had barely lasted five minutes.
He’d really done something to be proud of now — no one could say he was just a famous name any more.
