(Actually this is only true for the first movie, all the others were filmed using the set at Leavesden Studios where it's just a mock up of the street.  I have walked up the street when I was there, but we weren't allowed to take pictures.

Apologies if this isn't correct - am on vacation in Cornwall and this is being done in a rush.  Not going to get home until late Saturday evening - no doubt I won't be finding the Snitch :o(

First day of term

Hurrah and huzzaz.  First day of term is here.  I'm currently lurking in the common room waiting for the chat to start.  Trouble is I can't work out what time it's going to be...

On another note, have been contacted about making some stitchmarkers by an indie dyer for Wimbledon.  Am really excited.

Severe weather warnings are about for snow, but it doesn't look like it's going to hit here until lunchtime :o(  Looks like I'll have to head off to school and hope that they send us home.  Trouble with working 25 miles away from where I live, am keeping in contact with people who live closer to hope that it is cancelled.

HSKS7 Wish List

Well, I saw the post for Hufflepuffs and thought that I'd do this too!  Make sense to do it now rather than later.  I sent off my form, made a mistake on it by missing out my blog address, re-sent my form and am now waiting to see if I'm in Gryffindor.  Anywho, here goes:

Wishlist.

• A tiny headed crochet hook for putting beads on knitting - I currently use a bit of wire, and currently keep losing it and getting it stuck in my bottom, foot, leg, wherever I lose it...
  
• Someone willing to have Knitpicks stuff sent to them and to then mail it onto me (obviously I'll pay all the costs) as Knitpicks won't ship their yarn to the UK :o(
• Some Knitpicks Handpainted Sock Yarn - any colourway, but I do like the witchy one.
• Interesting sock yarn - I prefer using sock yarn to knit lace with and have an idea to make a lovely afghan with lots of different coloured sock yarn squares...
• XRX publishers Great American Afghan books - this is the big expensive wish on my list and will end up buying them when I come over to the US in April so don't feel you have to get me these.
• Cinnamon and Brown Sugar PopTarts.  I adore these and they don't do this as a standard flavour in the UK which means when I find them in a specialist food store I end up having to decide if I want to pay the equivalent of $8 a box...  Again, I will be purchasing many when I come over in April!

That's about all I can think of at the moment.  I like most things that are funny and knitty/witchy/yarny related.

Hullo *waves*

I'm a new girl at Hogwarts, Thalia Tinkwych.  I was named after the Goddess of Comedy, Idyllic Poetry and Burlesque.  I'm hoping to be in Gryffindor.  I'm very very excited.  

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
