Some Harry Potter fans I know were chatting the other day. "Yeah, she'd get a letter," they said of one member of our family. "No, he wouldn't," they said of another.
They were talking about letters of admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The occasion: the release of the final Hogwarts film.
This got me thinking about whimsy, one of the requirements for admission to Hogwarts, according to my sources.
When I was walking the shore in Chincoteague last week I spied a few highly whimsical pieces of beach art that made me smile. Whimsy. Got to keep it alive.
