Book Review: Midnight's Warrior by Donna Grant

Midnigth's Warrior

By Donna Grant

This is the 4 book in the Dark Warrior's serie by Donna Grant. This series is a continuation of the Dark Sword series by the same author and the characther in this one are all the warriors we meet in the other books.

This book in particular is about Ramsey, the quiet and thinkful warrior that has a great secret and Tara a druid that is in a run from everyone.
We have meet Tara in the last book of the series when she run away from the warriors because she think that they are evil, now Ramsey received a professy that tells him that the fate of Tara rest's in his hands. 

This is a great book, I love the fact that in this series we get to see all the past characters and I really think that Tara is the perfect match for Ramsey. i enjoy the love story between these two but most of all in this book i enjoy the story of the toarchill druids.


I have to confess that i do not expect this ending.... <SPOILER> declan's death.... Oh my god. i was thinking that after dreide's death declan would last a couple more books but what a surprise.... i do not like him (of course) but i think that a bad guy is always a necesity in a book. now i imagine that Jason (i do not recall if it was his name or not) that appears in the end of the book will become bad. <SPOILER>


I really love this world created by Donna and i can't wait to read more and to know if they are going to find the spell to bound their gods or not.

Personalized Mobile phone cover

Harry Potter phone cover

Good morning everyone, just as promised i'm doing apost about some personalized phone covers I create yesterday. 

To does of you who read my previous post, you already know that I went to primark and found some amazing decals. 

So I have this idea of doing some perdonalized phone covers. 

My phone is not one of the most popular so I have some difficulties to find great covers for it, harry potter related one's are so expensive that I do not buy them. 

So I went to a store where there are simple and plain covers and buy three. One is a black front and back case and the other two are silicone covers (white and pink).

Let me show you how they end up. 

This is the black case where I add a Hogwarts crest in gold.

Really like the result,I think it is simple but at the same time imposing. 

The second case I decided to dedicated to my Hogwarts house, Ravenclaw. 

So I put the mascot of that house (a black eagle) on a white bottom. Again it is a simple design but I really like it. 

In the last one I put the deadly hallows symbol. The cover is pink wich turn it very feminine. 

I really like all the designs but my favorite one are the first (the black and gold).

What do you guys think of them? What is your favorite? Leave a comment and subscribe to know more about harry potter stuff.

Harry Potter Primark Haul

Harry Potter Haul

Hi everyone, i'm back for another Harry Potter related post, in this one I will tell you about my last primark haul. 

There are always something about the wizarding world coming up in primark but later I could not find the time to go there and see what's new. So today I went and found amazing things. 

The first item I buy is this door plate. I like it a lot and it only cost me 2€, now it rest in my bedroom door.

I also feel in love with this pyjama. It is a summer one, with a top in navy blue and the shorts in white. 

It cost me 10€, but like all the clothes from there it is super comfortable, so I do not mind paying this price for it. 

Later I buy this shoes, they have a simple design with some harry potter symbols in the front. I like that they are not extremely complex, they are also confortable and I think that they will look amazing with some jeans and a top. 

For a long long time I want something like this item, some decalcs to put on my phone case or something like that. 

So you can imagine how excited i was when I see this at Primark. 

They have a lot of different decalcs. The first sheet is about the Hogwarts crest's, one for each house and one for the Hogwarts symbol all in gold. I really like these and they are the perfect size to put on your phone. 

Next we have some black designs, including the deadly hallows symbol and the mascots of each Hogwarts house. Again they are a size that you can put on your phone. 

The third Sheet is again in gold, and we have various decalcs about Hogwarts. Some are bigger in this one. 

The last one have two different Hogwarts crest's. They are bigger than all the others, you can put then on your computer for example.
All these decals cost me 4€, and again I love them. I will Personalize some covers for my phone with them and later I will make a post about it.

Last but not least I have to show you guys a gift from my co worker's. It was not from primark, but it is Harry Potter related.

I always want to buy it for myself but I did not have the opportunity, it is part of a noble collection of fantastic creatures.
This one is Hedwig (Harry owl) and the gift it to me because my baby dog's name is also Hedwig.

So there are some amazing things in this post, if I have to choose the one I like the most (except Hedwig) it will be the shoes. I hope you like the post feel free to comment and submit if you want to know more about harry potter stuff. 

Harry Potter Personalized Order

"Loja da Magia" 

Hi everyone, i'm back for another Harry Potter related post =D 

Like i say in a recent post that i wrote, i'm in Ravenclaw and it is sometimes difficult for me to find merchandise that is from my house.  I’m in a Harry Potter group on Facebook and there I was contacted by an online store that tell me about all the Harry Potter stuff they sell.
So i went to their site to take a look and i fell in love with everything. 

I will leave here the link to the facebook page of the store "Loja da Magia" https://www.facebook.com/lojadamagia/. I hope you go there and find someting you really like! 

So i contact the store to order a personalized t-shirt (i have to tell you guy's that it was very difficult for me not to order more stuff right at the moment) and the response was imediate. 
We talk a little about what design i want, where i want it on the shirt and the color of the shirt also. They gave me so much freedome to do what i want, it was amazing! 

 In the end i really love this design. It is a 

Ravenclaw themed one (of course) with a cartoon feel to it. It is so lovely that i could not resist =D 

The drawing was hand made and the material of the shirt was very confortable. They advised me to wash it with cold water the first times because of the paint. I have aready washed it a couple of times and i have to tell you that i do not have any problem, the design is just perfect like the first day. 

The service in this store was superb, and i have to thank them for it. I order this one to take with me in a trip i do this moth, and they did my order in less then 10 days! 

Since i live in Lisbon i only pay for the actual shirt and it was hand delivery (otherwise you have to pay for postage), this one cost me 18.00€. I consider it a great price, if you think about it. First it was hand made, second it was personalized and finally if you want any harry potter shirt you will pay a lot for it, so this one was a great bargain. 

Also i have to thank "loja da magia" for the attention to details. My order arrived with not only the shirt i pay but it a couple extra itens. 
 

The first one was a sort of Hogwarts letter with my name on it and the Hogwarts crest in the back. 


It fell so magic to recive this one.... it take me several minutes to decide how to open it, because i do not want to screw up the stamp. 

Inside i found a letter with the details of my order. It was amazing the detail in this one. 

It has the hogwarts crest and the description of the school and the director on top, in the botton there is the store symbol (i have to tell i really like it, just remind me of the deadly hallows symbol).


 


 











Last but not least they send me a bookmark =D they could not possibly know that i collect bookmarks and that it was for me personaly a gift that i love. This one went directly to my collection, so i will not use it (i only use the one's that i got twice).

 

The design of it was really simple, but for me they nailed it. In one side there is a black background with the store symbol.

 In the other side there is the golden trio (Harry, Ron and Hermione). 

 So i just have to thanks the store for these amazing experience, the product is everything i expect and the details make me so happy, 

I deffinitly will order more stuff from you!!!
 

Hogwarts Sweets

Tasting Harry Potter Sweets 

 

Hi everyone,  since i went to London this month of course i went to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter, and of course i need to taste some of the sweets that exist in the Harry Potter world. 

Every Harry Potter fan knows about chocolate frogs and the famous Bertie Bott's every flavour beans and also the butterbeer. There are many many different foods, drinks and sweets in this world that are presented to us during the series and i need to taste them all. 

Of course i could not buy them all at once so i choose only two to bring with me this time and one i drink in the studios (you could guess witch one). 

 So let's get started.... The first thing i always have the curiosity to drink was Butterbeer! And let's be honest, you doesn't? Reading the description of this drink in the books always make me want to taste it, and later during the movies it looks so delicious.... So in the studious there is a place where you can buy it and i could not resist. 

 There are different kind of prices for this one, i think it all depends on the glass and size you want your drink in. I was counting on getting the mug that you could bring home with you but the price was so much more.... that i decide not to. 

So i end up getting the smaller one in a regular cup , and i have to tell you guy's that i really like it. I was not expecting it to be a fizzy drink, since i never read anything that says it, but the cream on top was so delicious just like i imagine it. 

I really want to taste a hot butterbeer, the one in the studios was cold like a soda, but the one they describe in the books was not. I don't know if there is any place that sells them that way, but if there is i definitely need to taste it. In general i like the flavor and i love the top cream, but i was a little disappointed that it was not exactly like the description.  

The next item i buy was the Bertie Bott's every flavour beans. 

It cost me 8.99£ in the studios gift shop, i do not think it was cheap but i can understand the price of it. 

In the movies the packing seems a little bigger,but once you opens it there are several beans to taste and a little paper with a legend of the flavors you are going to find.

I always thought that the "bad" flavors will not be included or that if they are is was only to compose the package, but i was so wrong.... the first one i eat really taste of soap and later my mother taste one that she describe like dirt. 

It was really fun to eat the beans without knowing what you will get, and i decide that i want to eat the rest of them during a Harry Potter movie session to really appreciate the magic. 

 Last but not least i could not go home without a chocolate frog. 

I really like the package in this one, it is beautiful and i want one for my bookshelf at home. I also pay 8.99£ for this one.

The frog itself surprise me, first i assume it would be hollow, again i was wrong. It was big and the chocolate was delicious, milk chocolate. I eat it with my family and they love it as well. 






Also i was so excited to know witch card i would get from this one. Every chocolate frog give you a card of a famous witch or wizard. I want to make all the collection but the first two i really need is Albus Dumbledore and Rowena Ravenclaw. 

 

So you could imagine my happiness when i open the box i a see the card of Rowena Ravenclaw.

I really like this item, i think if i want to choose my favorite of the three it would be this one, ans definitely i will buy more of these to make my chocolate frog card collection.

 

Personalized Sneakers

Ravenclaw Personalized Sneakers

I think that everyone has a great passion for something in this life, mine is for Harry Potter!!! Like most people i'm always looking for stuff that i can buy that makes reference to my passions, but sometimes it is difficult to find. 

In the Harry Potter world there is several merchandise that you can buy, but again it is sometimes impossible to find exactly want you have in mind. I have to say that i was sorted into Ravenclaw and that here in Portugal, when there is products related to HP they tend to be Gryffindor and sometimes Slytherin but never the other houses. 

For this reason i'm always looking for great oportunidades online, and i have to tell you that this one was amazing. I found an online shop that makes personalized stuff, since t-shirts to sneakers, and i fell in love with it, the name EAZII. 

I will leave here the link to their Facebook page "https://www.facebook.com/eaziipt/". I contact them from there and the service is very good, they respond after few hours and inform me of the prices and what is allowed in the design of the product that i want. 

In the end i decided to buy a Ravenclaw personalized Sneakers =D 

The color of the shoes is always white but you choose how to create them. If you want a logo or a photo, if you want it big (like the mine) or various small ones, if there is some type of writing or not, basically you choose want you want most. 

I want the Ravenclaw logo on it and the sentence "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure", and i think it turn out brilliant. 

The quality of the shoe is great, i have to tell you that i used mine almost all the time and that they are super comfortable, last week i went to London in a trip and i taken them with me. 

I walk almost all day and they are amazing (i also take my boots that in the end of the first day make my feets hurt so much that i could not make myself use them another day). 

I also have washed them already (because they are white, it tend to get a little dirt) in the wash machine with cold water, and the design did not fade.  

I have to tell you that i loved them and probably will de doing another pair with photos of my little dog, the price is 35€ (i think it is pretty acceptable to the product that it is) and the encomende take almost two weeks to arrive by mail after i first contact them (witch is super fast). 

I'm a happy client for sure =D and i have to congratulate Eazii for this amazing service and the opportunity that we can choose exactly what we want.

Geekgear box_ World of wizarding April 2017

Unboxing WoW April 2017

 The geek gear is a company that offers you a monthly subscription box with itens from a theme. 

There are three different box's that you can buy:

1. Geek gear (GG)

2. World of wizarding (WoW)

3. World of wizarding wearable (WoWw)

These box's give you access to several items from the theme month for a price of 19.99£ plus shipping. They usually are dispatched between 21 and 24 of each month. 

Here is the link to the site where you can buy this box: http://www.geekgearbox.co.uk/

Since i live in Portugal i can tell you that I pay 29,45€ and my box arrived usually in the last week of the month or the first week of the next one. The box I'm subscribed to is the WoW, in this one you get to choose which Hogwarts house you want your box to be.
I'm a Ravenclaw so my box is also featuring that house, this means that if there is any house related item in the box, mine will be Ravenclaw.

Each month they give some clues about the theme, the clues for the April box were: 
1. Hermione
2. 3 house itens related 
3. flying 

So i think it is time for me to present the WoW April 2017 box. 

This is the aspect of the box, it will arrive evolved in plastic and when you open it, this is what you will going to see. 

I have to tell you that all the times that i received this box it arrived in great condition, and that i love the design of these box's, so i tend to keep them after. 

Every time you open the box, you will see a paper tissue in the house color that you choose in the subscription(mine is blue for Ravenclaw). 

There is always a t-shirt in this box, some prints and between 4 to 6 additional itens. 

The first item that i received this month is a replica of Hermione wand. 
There are different options with this item, you could received a original one, a gold one or a silver one. 
The rate to received a golden wand was 1 in every 50 box's, and the silver was 1 in every 25 box's. 

Before i open mine i was hoping for a regular, because i'm starting to collect all the character's wands and i do not have Hermione, but after i see it in silver i fall in love. 
The feel of the wand is amazing, it is heavy and the material is very hard. 

The next 2 itens are a pin and some stickers. 

The pin is amazing i really like it, and it was the reference to the third clue that we received (flying). It is a flying key, from the Harry Potter and the Philosopher stone, and the wings in this one move. 

The  Stickers are from Fantastic Beast, and i like them as well (of course they are HP related) but i'm still deciding if and where i will use them. 

This is the first poster that was in the box, and it is a two sided one. 

I really like posters, and i'm thinking of put some of them in a frame, in this case i do not know what side i will choose because i like them both. 

The second poster is a "ok" one for me, i do not love it and i think i will not display it in my house but i will definitely keep it in my Harry Potter stuff. It has a phrase from Rowling, but again it is not one of my favorites.

Next we are given a pair of socks, all black with the glass and lightning symbol on it. 
They are very soft and confortable. 

I have to tell you guys that there is also a pair of shoelaces with the colors of each house, but when i take the photos, i had already used mine on my sneakers (shame on me).  

The print this month is one from harry potter and the chambers of secrets, the scene where Harry and Ron go to the forbidden forest to speak with Aragog. 

I like the colors and the design but i'm not a fan of spiders and because of it i think i will not display it in my house either. 



Last but not least, this month t-shirt. 
I have to tell you that so far this is my favorite one, i love black clothes and the fact that this one is a house item, only make it better. 

You can tell that the design of the shirt is the same of used for one of the poster's, and if your box was for one of the other houses, the print on the shirt will change. 

I have already used mine and i have to tell you that it is very soft and it goes amazing with some jeans or clack trousers.  

In resume i really like this month box, if i have to choose the item i like most i probably would say the Shirt or the Wand, the item i liked the least will be the second poster. 

Speaking as a huge Harry Potter fan, i have to say that yes this box is a little expensive (for people living outside UK) but it gives great stuff. I always struggle with the itens that are disposable in the stores in my country because there is almost none from Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, so this is a amazing way of receiving some itens from that houses, and let's be honest here, it is incredible to received a box full of Harry Potter related stuff each and every month.
