I pick up a lot of my Harry Potter stuff from stores I frequent. Some things - like LEGO sets - have to be ordered on-line, but a lot of incidental things show up in my stores, like this Modern Gourmet Foods Hogwarts mug - a perfect gift for the Holiday season (in this case a gift to myself 😉). I started my Harry Potter series in September of last year by featuring a Hedwig mug by Modern Gourmet Foods and now look forward to new annual offerings. I like the design of this mug in that it's reminiscent of a black cauldron. The Hogwarts crest is a combination of the iconography of the four Wizarding Houses and the reference to 'Potion Master' may be a nod to Severus Snape - Head of Slytherin House and Death Eater-turned unlikely hero. The stir stick is a tiny replica of what appears to be Harry's wand, and there is a package of hot chocolate included. I haven't yet made the chocolate, so I can't give any taste reviews on it - sorry! While the mug is supposed to be dishwasher safe, I think I'd rather hand wash it. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
