I am absolutely stunned by the kindness of my rematcher. They seriously went above and beyond, and very thoughtfully picked out gifts to match all of my Harry Potter interests. Man, where to even begin...

So I opened the heavy box marked Owl Post, and could hardly contain my excitement as I opened the envelope on top. Inside was a lovely letter in the style of a Hogwarts acceptance letter, detailing the contents of my gift!

First, a JAPANESE VERSION OF PRISONER OF AZKABAN!!! I literally squealed. I had mentioned that I collect different language editions of the third book, and this one will certainly be a wonderful addition to my collection! Such interesting illustrations in this one. I really cannot describe how grateful I am. I would have been over the moon if my Secret Santa had stopped there...but there was so much more...

Next, an a print on a page of PoA of the phrase "I Solemnly Swear I am Up to No Good." Again--total home run, SS. The Marauders are my favorite characters in the series, and as a graphic designer I love prints and cool typography. So perfect! I'm going to try to find a frame for this and hang it in my office.

There were also two mason jars filled with ingredients...for Butterbeer Cookies!! I am seriously excited to see how these taste, I am a cookie fiend. And so easy to make!

Since I would probably excel at Care for Magical Creatures, my Santa included an awesome locket necklace with a "hippogriff" feather inside! What a unique idea! Definitely jives with my style, too.

And still more...a hand painted and personalized Ravenclaw Prefect badge! Ravenclaw pride :)

IT DOESN'T STOP THERE...my secret santa also included an adorable mug with the signature scar and glasses (wonderful for my tea!) and inside that mug...tennis balls for my dog! I totally didn't expect to have something for her in there. SS, she was SO happy, bounding around the apartment chasing them and chewing away.

Finally, not pictured is a whole bunch of candy...of which I might have already eaten the majority...

You really, truly are the best kind of person Secret Santa, to be so thoughtful and generous and kind without even getting anything in return. I wish you had revealed yourself, because you really do deserve the recognition!! I feel like I won this exchange.

Anyway, to sum it up...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FELLOW RAVENCLAW!
