Being as impatient as I am and with no tracking information I felt like a stalker watching through the window every time I heard a truck coming (and my neighbour's obsession with online shopping didn't help AT ALL).

Anyway, today the gift finally arrived and while I was opening the package the atmosphere grew cold and dark... And the Dementor showed itself in all its Funko glory! Every good feeling, every good memory was being sucked out of me but the thought that I successfully finished my first exchange was enough to perform an excellent patronous (a thestral according to Pottermore in case anyone was wondering).

Thank you my dear santa! This creature was inspired by the depression J.K. Rowling suffered before the Harry Potter success so it seems very fitting as I am struggling with it myself. This Funko (my first one!) will be a reminder that what Albus Dumbledore said was true: “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
