Seriously...how can so much magical goodness fit in one little box?! I mentioned my upcoming trip to Universal Studios in my info, along with my love for Harry Potter, and clearly my gifter is a true witch, because they managed to stuff a shipping box full of potions, chocolate frogs, pygmy puffs, etc. They even included a gift for my cousin, who I mentioned was going with me to the park and is a Harry Potter nerd as well.

In a cruel twist of irony, the bottle of Felix Felicis broke en route, which is why this post is so late. Once I got back from Universal Studios (and spent a few days making last-minute cosplay repairs for a convention I attended last weekend), I wanted to take the time to clean everything up really well and show off my new potion collection! There may be glitter and feathers stuck to things in the "before" pictures, but rest assured everything survived in top shape, minus the Felix Felicis and the "bigger on the inside" box.

Pictures just don't do it justice, though. So much effort was put into this gift, and there are so many little details involved, it's just crazy. Real wax seals on the envelopes! Multiplying pygmy puffs! Homemade labels on all the bottles! Needless to say, everything is being proudly displayed in my room right now.
