Room Reveal: Harry Potter Guest Room

I'm sure you've seen that I have SEVERAL posts on this Harry Potter Guest Room by now.
The "How To" for some of the creations in the room.
The "Where I Got It" for all of the magical goodies that help to make up this incredibly magic room.

But, what about the photos?  Don't you want to just SEE the entire room and oooooh and aaaaaah over it's magical-ness?

Well, let's do it!  No more talk.  I've put descriptions on some of the pictures so you know what it is {just in case you happen to NOT be a Harry Potter fan and just stumbled on my post-- which, HI!!!!!}

and!! There's a special video if you make it all the way to the end of this post.... which really means you can skip all the way to the end if you want... but it's more fun to see all of these photos first!



I would like to show you:  Our Harry Potter Guest Room <3

Pensieve.  It includes a wand pen and 2 vial to collect memories.
It's actually a journal, so I MIGHT use it as a guest book for people that stay over.



House Crest Mermaid Pillows

Marauder's Map- it actually works!!!! 

Marauder's Map pillow (it glows in the dark to reveal the map)
and Golden Snitch- this is SOLID, and also a clock if you open it up!

Monster Book of Monsters- It really bites! You have to stroke the spine of the book to calm him down

Golden Snitch clock, and Dobby

Wizard Chess set- the entire set doesn't fit on the display shelves I have, so I improvised and tried to display the fun pieces the best way possible

Here's the special video!  It is the Facebook LIVE video from when I first revealed our Harry Potter room!

This room will be a work in progress as I continue to add magical items and other aspects from the Harry Potter books and movies.
One of the biggest things I am working on is my very own Mirror of Erised!  That will have it's own DIY post once I finish it.

So for now... enjoy the video, if you want! I seriously LOVE this room, and hope you all do too!!
