I recently attended Infinitus ,a Harry Potter convention, at the Loews Pacifica Resort in Orlando,Florida. It was super exciting to be around other Harry Potter fans and lover of books in general. In the photo above I am with my fellow HufflePuff Quidditch team. Did we actually participate in the Quidditch matches while we were there? No..Hufflepuffs are too lazy for that. LOL *Photo credit to Professor Sprout (our head of house) I found this image on Flicker and it is the best one we have of all of us!
Please check the Harry Potter section of my website soon for photos from the trip.
We also were lucky enough to attend "A Night of a Thousand Wizards" event at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme Park at part of the convention in which the theme park was open after hours for the Infinitus goers. The creators of the park did a top notch job re-creating Hogsmeade, Hogwarts, and the feel of the wizarding world in general. What a "magicial" trip!

I was thinking more about the message in this painting today.
Maybe instead of why don’t you hear "me" It could be why don’t I hear you or why don’t I hear myself ?
I should take my own advice
and “actually listen” to what other people are saying instead of what I want to hear.
Have you ever heard an echo of something someone was trying to say but sadly hours later?
I decided to listen without my preconceived ideas and everything suddenly clinked into place,
And now I get it...and I feel so silly.
