Jo this was my cake last year for my 25th! Harry Potter has been such a huge part of my childhood and adult life growing up with autism since I was five in 1997! I’ve got two of my favourite Harry Potter cosplays here with my cake and my replica of Harry’s photo album from WB!⚡️ pic.twitter.com/HueYlp0Aq0
