Half Hour Harry Hat

Half Hour Harry Hat
Make a hat just in time to wear to your local Harry Potter party! The hat is modeled after the standard issue brimless Hogwarts student hat. The last book comes out on the 21st of July 2007. I'll be attending one wearing this felt hat that I made in just 30 minutes.

This is awesome! Thanks! It's a little late for the 7th book, considering it's nearly a year later, but I'll make one for the next movie. Also, I would have used red or maroon for the 'H' and maybe made it a 'G' for Gryphindor, but yours is more generic. Really cool!

You are a fine example of someone who not just accept, but REVELS in her geekdom. Well Done!
