I am a Harry Potter enthusiast. Big time. So, I read, and do, all things Harry Potter, including participate in the Wizarding World Web site, which used to be called Pottermore.

It occurred to me recently that my Christmas posts have been very heavily Peanuts. I love A Charlie Brown Christmas, but I also love Harry Potter. I was enchanted by my first taste of Harry and his Wizarding World, when I saw the first movie in 2001, and have been an avid fan ever since. …
