Harry Potter Moment of the Week (6): Favorite Quidditch Team/Country

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
Favorite Quidditch Team/Country

This is an easy pick for us: IRELAND! The three of us are extremely proud of our Irish heritage. My grandfather was born here in the U. S., but he spent quite a bit of his youth with his grandmother in County Antrim before returning to America permanently. My shamrock necklace and claddagh ring are my two favorite pieces of jewelry that I own, and I wear them every day. St. Patrick's Day is a big one for us; as you can see from the photo, Ally and Melissa's dog, Tyler, joins in the annual celebration, too. So if we were to attend the Quidditch World Cup, we'd be all decked out in green, for sure.

    1. I'd always wanted a piece of claddagh jewelry, and I fell in love with this one because it has my birthstone in it. :D

    1. My mom was Irish on both sides of her family, and she had a very fair complexion. No freckles, though. :D

  5. Fun!!! I love the Irish too. I always think of the leprechauns coming out and fighting in the World Cup Quidditch match.

  6. I love St. Patrick's Day so much. Love the claddagh ring! I really enjoyed the gold the leprechauns threw to the crowd and watching the veela that everyone loved turn into the ugly birds.

    The only pair of earrings that I have that is real white gold/diamonds is a pair of shamrocks and I wear them everyday :D Love your pick! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.
