Happy early birthday to kalquessa and rosamundeb! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to be online tomorrow, so I wanted to be certain to wish both these fantastic ladies a wonderful birthday and a joyous year to come!


* John Granger, also known as the Hogwarts Professor, was just interviewed by Tim O'Shea of Talking With Tim about his work on the Harry Potter universe. I highly recommend the interview. You can check it out here.
