| Me as Professor Trelawney |
When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published I was lucky enough to be working the midnight opening at Waterstone's, Edinburgh East End. Also with us that night, aside from the hundreds of fans queued up outside, was a documentary crew filming snippets for J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life which later ended up as part of the DVD extras on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. If you watch closely, there is a split second of me dressed as Professor Trelawney waving my hands around like a spell casting maniac. It's my one claim to international fame (albeit anonymous).

| Working my magic on the tills - 21st July, 2007 |
So as the last film makes it's premier in Leicester Square tonight, I thought it fitting to create some new Potter-themed desserts with a grown-up flavour. After all, our characters have come of age and they've just won an epic battle.
Let's celebrate the end of a magical era with...Hogsmeade Butterbeer Tarts, Gryffindor Mulled Mead Jelly and Mincemeat "Haggis" (I know that last one isn't strictly Potter related but go with me on this one - I'm drawing on the JK Rowling / Edinburgh connection here. I guarantee you'll want to serve it at your next Burns Night Supper too.)
Read, Bake, Eat along with me!
Harry Potter is published in the UK by Bloomsbury Press
