Newly Released Harry Potter Enhanced Edition E-Books

For all the Lesson plan readers you may not know but my kids (little Craftgossip kidlets ) are some what obsessed with Harry Potter. Last year the shared combined birthday party as they both wanted the same theme “Harry Potter”. I was writing for our Party Ideas Blog at the time and you can check out some snapshots from the party here. Harry Potter Party Ideas.

Until now, the Harry Potter digital books have only been available for readers to purchase through the Pottermore Shop. Starting this week, iBooks® users can experience the books with all new exclusive custom covers for each title, and typography including the custom Harry Potter typefaces and new section headers and drop caps.

What makes these Harry Potter books enhanced? Well I will let Miss CraftGossip (8) tell you about that.

I have read ALL of the Harry Potter books, but I loved going back and re-reading these books. They are “Enchanting”.

The Harry Potter Enhanced Editions are available in English for A$11.99 inc. GST each in 32 countries. Pre-orders also begin today for French, German and Spanish versions, and will be available on 9 November in 18 additional countries.

Harry Potter fans can explore other magical content including Harry Potter movies, soundtrack albums and apps on the custom Harry Potter page on iBooks at www.iTunes.com/au/HarryPotter.

We highly recommend Amazon Prime for streaming. They are currently offering a 30-day free trial.

Harry Potter Crafts and Activities

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
