Every time I enter the store with various gadgets, books, LEGO bricks or games, I pay attention to things related to specific universes. One of them is, of course, the world created by JK Rowling. I would need a large wardrobe to fit everything – pillows, bedding, blankets, clothes, shoes, dishes, figurines, LEGO sets, jewelry and … much more.
There are a few things I especially like. Among them is the pillow I fell in love with when I accidentally passed the window of a gadget shop in a Viennese shopping center. I went shopping in Austria for my 30th birthday and the chocolate frog was one of the lovelier gifts I bought for myself. However, from a weekend trip to a studio near London, where films about Harry Potter were shot, I brought four mugs in the colors of the Hogwarts houses. I do not let anyone use them – they are supposed to stand and look nice. And my two loves – books and games. Of course I have all the young wizarding stories, but I also found an unofficial cookbook that I bought so I could make my own cream beer. And when it comes to board games, I counted ten on the HP license, but I have a few more in mind, so the collection will keep growing. –Katarzyna Satława
