Customer Reviews

Charmed Knits
This is a great addition to any Harry Potter enthusiast's collection. The projects are easy to understand with no crazy knitting language. Its great to have color pictures, along with suggestions of non-obscure products to create the projects. There is literally something for everyone, little kid to adult.

Aspiring Knitter
I haven't had the chance to make anything from this book yet, but I'm looking forward to it! As soon as I get the needles, I'll be knitting away.

Harry eat your heart out
My two nephews birthdays where looming and I was thinking of getting them both Harry Potter Wands as gifts when I ran into this one, so I bought it on a whim. Boy was I glad I did, Wizard hats, wand cases, robes, stich witchery bags, Oh My!
