“Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”

~ J.K. Rowling

It’s here, the beginning of the end of summer. The promise of autumn in the early September air makes the transition a little less painful, but a little magic wouldn’t hurt either.

Thankfully, September brings with it the tradition of Back to Hogwarts Day. Today witches, wizards, squibs and even muggles celebrate the return to the hallowed, magical halls of Hogwarts.

Not only is it the perfect pick-me-up for your unofficial, end-of-summer blues, it’s a great excuse to take yourself a little less seriously.

We could all us a nice dose of magic and pure, unadulterated fun now and then. Hogwarts and the Wizarding World offer that and so much more.

Back-to-school season, in general, is a nice reminder to stay curious, keep learning, and to always question…even if your Hogwarts’ acceptance letter still hasn’t arrived.

On that note I’ll leave you to enjoy your Saturday. Don’t forget to appreciate the magic.

…just for fun:
