Fans lined up hours early to make sure they got a chance to meet James and Oliver, but everyone in the queue agreed it was worth the wait–and really, there’s no better way to spend a Saturday morning than by geeking out about Harry Potter! You can read the full report here.
Caitlin (aka @lightsfan1cm on Twitter) was once trying to purchase a Mandrake online when, after not finding one, she decided to create one of her own and show it to us. We think it looks pretty real!
