In Australia, the last Harry Potter Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was released this week. In anticipation of seeing it this weekend, the kids had a movie watching afternoon re-watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Harry Potter came out of storage to snuggle on the couch amongst all the blankets and food to watch his adventures.

I made this for my son when the second Harry Potter Movie came out (he was about 8 at the time) and just slightly Harry Potter obsessed. Harry is knitted from 8 ply (Double Knitting) 100% cotton from Bendigo Woolen Mills. His clothes are mainly of my own design and the yarn is a variety of 8ply wools and acrylic sourced from my stash (which fills a whole cupboard!). These are actually the second pair of glasses Harry has had. The first pair were a better fit to the scale of his face (however, small boys are inherently destructive).
The basic doll was made using a pattern from the November / December 1998 edition of The Australian Women's Weekly Handmade magazine. Harry is basically built up from the pattern for Rueben.

This doll is awesome, and you did such a good job in creating him! I'm not even embarrassed to say that I was one of those snuggling up with him while watching Harry Potter this week.
