Decades after the release of the first book of Harry Potter, it remains one of the greatest stories I have ever witnessed.
I would often have Harry Potter-themed parties and events with friends and family.
The movies immensely helped in visualizing some items from the books. So, every Halloween, I would rewatch the films to look for decorating ideas.
