Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a complete Potterhead to include a pilgrimage to Universal Studios annually, a collection of fan shirts, and several books about fan theories on my bookshelf. I even own more then one wand which I may or may not be practicing the silencio spell with. It is all in good fun and with an appreciation for the magical world that JK Rowling has created!Reviews
