Harry Potter is a series of fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The novels chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Wikipedia
I am a big fan of all the books and movies.
- Rowling said her favorite beast in the series is the Phoenix, a mythical sacred bird who ignites into flames when it reaches 500 or 1,000 years old only to emerge from the flames as a new and young phoenix.[4]

The “Order of the Phoenix” is a secret organization led by Albus Dumbledore, who is dedicated to fighting Lord Voldemort and his followers, the Death EatersPolyjuice Potion Jelly Shots
Ginger Ale mixture
1/2 cup ginger ale
1 envelope plain gelatin
1/2 cup ginger (or pineapple) vodka
Pineapple mixture
1/2 cup canned pineapple juice (fresh won’t work – the enzymes in fresh pineapple interfere with the gelatin)
1 envelope plain gelatin
1/2 cup pineapple vodka
Lime mixture
1/2 cup water
1 envelope plain gelatin
1/2 cup lime sherbet, melted
Prepare the three gelatin mixes as follows:
- Ginger Ale: Pour the ginger ale in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in the vodka.
- Pineapple: Pour the pineapple juice in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in the vodka.
- Lime: Pour the water in a medium saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and allow to soak for a minute or two. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is fully dissolved (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in the melted sherbet.
Pour each mixture into a separate bowl and refrigerate until partially set. (Just starting to change from liquid to solid – about 20 to 25 minutes.)
Prepare a standard 1lb loaf pan about 8″ x 5″, glass or non-reactive metal) by spraying with a little cooking spray and then wiping out with a paper towel.
Give each mixture a quick stir. Drop alternating spoonfuls of the three mixtures into the pan, until all the gelatin has been transferred. Refrigerate until fully set (at least 6 hours or overnight – extra time is needed for the gelatins to bond)
To serve, cut into rectangles. Makes about 18 jelly shots.
- Harry Potter’s pet snowy owl, Hedwig, shares her name with two famous saints. One is Saint Hedwig of Andechs (1174-1243), a former duchess noted for her benevolence and compassionate nature. The other is Saint Hedwig, Queen of Poland (1373-1399). The death of Hedwig in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows represents Harry’s loss of innocence and coming of age.

Seven different owls played Hedwig; their names are Gizmo, Kasper, Oops, Swoops, Oh Oh, Elmo and Bandit

Of course, it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
– Professor Albus Dumbledore
- Numbers are symbolic in the series, especially 2, 3, 4, and 7. For example, the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione suggest the power of three and the spiritual trinity. Harry fatally wounds the basilisk on its third strike, and Hagrid knocks on the front door of Hogwarts three times. Students attend Hogwarts for seven years and there are seven players on each Quidditch team. Sirius is also imprisoned on the seventh floor of Hogwarts.

- 1/3 cup butterbeer sauce directions above
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- [broom stick cookies | http://bit.ly/2ya7yc1%5D for decorating (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 standard cupcake pans with 18 liners.
-
In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, canola oil, butter extract, seeds from half a vanilla bean and the buttermilk. Beat until smooth.
-
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients with the mixer on low until there are no longer any clumps of flour. Add the beer and mix until combined. The batter should be pourable, but not super thin. Stir in the toffee bits – if using.
-
Fill baking cups three-fourths full. Bake for about 18-22 minutes. Allow cooling completely before frosting.
-
Meanwhile, make the butterbeer sauce. Add the butterscotch chips, cream, and honey to a small sauce pot. Set over low heat, stirring often until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
-
To make the frosting, melt chocolate in the microwave on 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. You may also use a double broiler. Dip each pretzel in chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on wax paper lined cookie sheets and chill in the freezer until firm, about 10 minutes.
-
Add the butter, molasses and powdered sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand-held mixer). Beat the butter and powdered sugar together until the butter is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, vanilla and butter extract. Beat, scraping down the sides as needed another 2 minutes or until there are no streaks of white. Beat in 1/3 cup butterbeer sauce + the seeds from 1/2 of the remaining vanilla bean until smooth and creamy. Add 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream and whip the frosting for 2-4 minutes or until light and fluffy. Taste the frosting and add more powdered sugar if you like a sweeter or thicker frosting.
-
Now take about 1/3 to 1/2 the chocolate covered pretzels and finely chop them. Stir the pretzels into the frosting. Skip this step if you like a smooth frosting.
-
To assemble the cupcakes, pipe frosting onto each cupcake (or just smooth it on with a knife). Garnish each cupcake with a chocolate covered pretzel. If needed, warm the butterbeer sauce until just smooth enough to drizzle. Drizzle each cupcake with butterbeer sauce just before serving. Sink your teeth in!

Synopsis of the Harry Potter Stories
The story of Harry Potter begins as he is about to celebrate is the eleventh birthday. Up until this time, Harry’s birthdays have come and gone like any other day; they have been nothing worth celebrating. You see, Harry has lived in a cupboard under the stairs in his Uncle Vernon’s and Aunt Petunia’s house. He has never received a birthday present worth remembering. His very few possessions have been the hand-me-downs of his cousin Dudley. Harry has never known why the Dursley’s have never treated him well. All he knows is that his mother and father died in a car crash and he came to live with the Dursley’s when he just one year old.
But all things will forever change on Harry’s eleventh birthday. He learns from a letter, given to him by an unknown, very large person name Hagrid, that he is not just a regular person. He learns that like his mother and father, he too is a wizard. Harry’s life changes in an instant. The letter he receives is an acceptance and invitation to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Harry is sorted into the Gryffindor House by the Sorting Hat. At Hogwarts, Harry will learn what it means to be Wizard. He will learn many things about wizardry from his teachers and Head Master, Dumbledore. He will learn that not all people come from wizard families. Some, called Muggles, will also study at Hogwarts. For the first time, he will meet and make friends. Hermione Granger (Muggle-born) and Ron Weasley (Wizard ), will help Harry through a most challenging first year at Hogwarts.
Harry’s first year at Hogwarts will be challenging as he comes to learn more about his past and the death of his parents. Not only did Harry learn on his eleventh birthday that he was a wizard, but he also learned that his parents died at the hands of a wizard practicing dark magic: Voldemort. And although Voldemort attempted to kill Harry, something saved him. Instead of Harry dying, Voldemort lost his powers. Harry is reminded of that fateful night each time he looks in the mirror and sees a lightning bolt scar on his forehead and as others greet him famously wherever he goes.
Harry will experience many life-threatening situations during his first year. These situations will arise as he comes to learn more about Voldemort and those that follow him. Every experience Harry, Hermione, and Ron will find themselves in, will bring Harry closer to the one that must not be named, Voldemort.
