This past May – May 16, 2018 – Origami Owl went LIVE on Facebook to reveal the jewelry that makes up the Harry Potter Collection, in collaboration with their people and JK Rowling, herself.
(If you’ve missed that LIVE, watch it now for the first time, or watch it again to relive that exciting moment for all HP Fans!)

Today, I got up early to meet a huge Harry Potter fan who I recently met through a local mom’s group. She had asked to meet with me to try on the Origami Owl ring for size and maybe take a look at Harry Potter pieces if I had any.
She did try on a ring, alright, but she didn’t go home with a ring. Instead, she went home with several pieces from the Harry Potter collection; Harry Potter Pocket locket, supporting characters like The Snitch and Hedwig, and the three main characters made in charms. She was ecstatic and happy that she was able to take it all home that morning. I was ecstatic to find out that her creation will be traveling with her to Broadway in New York, where she will be watching Harry Potter: The Cursed Child.
After my successful locket appointment, I was inspired to create even more Harry Potter locket looks to wear, share, and potentially sell.
I already made a Harry Potter locket yesterday to wear to the beach (see evidence) but wanted something different today.
Here are 2 looks I quickly put together after arriving home and before heading out to my Harry Potter events.
These looks were made with charms from the collection and placed in a Silver Bar locket. I love how they float around in there as if they’re flying like they do in the books and movies. I wore one of these before heading out the door. Can you guess which I wore?
Off we went to our first Harry Potter event for the day.
It was a mini-Lego build event that took place at a nearby Barnes & Noble Bookstore. It’s an event where LEGO partners with a venue to provide a free mini-kit to each child in attendance. Each child gets to build and take it home. Today’s event was building a mini Hogwarts ? Express Train. Each child receives a certificate of completion (which markets the much bigger sets that Kids really want) when finished building. It’s a genius way to market what’s new and available with Lego and grateful that it is free.
Isn’t it lovely? We will be adding this Hogwarts Train to our other mini-build, a Star Wars Millennium Falcon.
The other Harry Potter event going on tonight – and didn’t get to go to – in San Diego was the San Diego symphony playing Harry Potter music, under the stars at the Embarcadero. I really wanted to go but we ended up staying in because by evening, I was already too tired to leave the house, fight traffic, and search for parking. Maybe another day or summer.
So that was my Harry Potter “filled-enough” day.
Share with me, what Harry Potter events have you done with your family or looking forward to doing?
