Hermione Granger’s movie home is up for sale.



The real life home used as the stand-in for Hermione Granger's residence when she left Hogwart's for the summer is up for sale for the low-low price of £2,400,000, or $3,100,000, whichever currency you choose to dabble in. It seems Hermione was swimming in fanciful living despite the bedraggled hairstyle.




Lest you think you're not getting much bang for your buck, the listing notes the house has six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two reception rooms. Why would you need two reception rooms? I wouldn't know, since my experience with haute bourgeoisie society comprises driving through such neighborhoods on a ten-speed, not a Tesla.

Hermione's movie home comes on the tail of Harry Potter's movie home also going up for sale recently. The boy wizard's humble home--which looks like a cut rate residence on a cul-de-sac in suburban Kansas--can be yours for £475,000, or $616,000.


The Kansas-y part of England.

What does this all mean for Ron Weasley? I assume his family lived in a modified 1974 Winnebago with 215,000 miles on it and it's probably for sale soon in suburban England somewhere.

Boy reportedly suspended from school for carrying a purse.


Skylar Davis, a 13-year old student at the Kansas Anderson County Senior-Junior School, had been slinging a Vera Bradley purse over his shoulder since the school year started in August, with little reaction from school officials, according to KCTV 5.

Everything changed last week. Davis was called into the principal's office and told to take the purse off. He refused, and was promptly suspended.

The school claims the only egregious action here was Davis breaking a rule against wearing bags and purses into core classrooms. Davis claims the only egregious action here is the school's discriminatory behavior against a boy wearing a purse.

I claim the only egregious action here is the choice in Vera Bradley purses. Skylar, Skylar, Skylar...stop channeling your inner retiree from Boca Raton. A Kate Spade bag won't kill you.
