In the Harry Potter movies witches & wizards have a pretty wobbly building style, something that has always annoyed me. Come on, even if they weren't interested in scientific stuff like geometry, they should be able to use magic to get their buildings straight. And why wouldn't they want them that way - it's more practical!

When I read up on timber framing (to see if it would make sense to include that style in my Blockwarts) and saw the photos, I realized that the wobbliness actually has a basis in reality. Although the wizarding world's building style is still wobblier than the real-life buildings and I'm still annoyed about it.

The Rowling Library brought back JKR's old website! I loved that site, it was creative, playful and fun. I loved having the sounds and the music in the background while surfing. And trying to figure out how to open the Room-of-Requirement door was always fun. Although I usually failed to find out for myself, and this time I'll also employ help. Now I can cap all the things I didn't get to cap the last time! And it reminded me that there are still things to icon from this website.
