Harry Potter butterbeer recipe, scarf patterns, crafts and dolls round up

The new Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection box set that we have all been waiting for has just been released!

Emma’s already covered the Harry Potter special edition boxset. It’s got 31 disks that include all eight films on Blu-ray, DVD and UV Copy, bonus content, previously unreleased scenes, behind the scenes features, interviews with the cast and more wizarding content than you can wave a wand at.
