A true Ravenclaw

I think I've mentioned before how Theo is addicted to the Harry Potter books.  I honestly think he has read the whole series about 5 times- this year alone.  He never reads them in order- just picks up whichever one he is currently thinking about (and he's always thinking about one of them) and digs in.  Yesterday alone he read half of book five.  That is not a small book.

He is also fascinated by other Potter-lore.  He spends time on PotterMore, on fanfiction sites, taking various quizzes.  He is firm in his belief that the sorting hat would place him in Ravenclaw.  He's as firmly convinced that his mom is just a poor old Hufflepuff.  I dare say he's right.  All of this Pottermania came to a head around his birthday when he asked his grandparents for some Ravenclaw gear for his birthday.  He directed them to Ollivanders- the official online Potter shop.  They were unsure about how much he would really like a sweater and a scarf for a May birthday, but they followed through and presented him with his new Ravenclaw sweater, scarf, and banner.  He was thrilled.  Put them on right then.  Luckily for Theo it was a cool May as he wore the outfit for at least a week straight.  The banner he pinned to his back pack on his actual birthday in order to make it even more clear that he was a legit Ravenclaw.
