Did you know that I love Harry Potter? You probably did, because it’s not really a secret. I just finished re-reading all the books, for oh, probably about the 8th time now. And yes, I still cry at all the sad parts. I might fit one more read in before the final movie comes out. When I saw this Dumbledore …
Hello, Cupcake!
