I remembered these chairs from our visit to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter with our young friend and her mom in 2012. In the Gryffindor Common Room, the chairs sit ajar and crookedly adjacent, waiting for students to drape their legs over the arms. Next fall our young friend is on her way to St. Andrews University in Scotland. She’ll study French, Arabic, and Italian, wear an academic gown, and lounge in a Common Room with new friends – in, I hope, comfy armchairs! 
Love the story of these chairs. Is the young woman who will study in Scotland next year your friend who moved here this year?

Yes!
What an appealing chair!
The chairs do seem very “Harry Potterish.” So excited about the young friend’s news. It makes the world seem a much better place when young people succeed so splendidly!
It does – and she has!
The armchair series is wonderful. And your young friend has quite the academic path before her. I hope she enjoys. I love languages. 🙂
Thank you Cynthia! And oh I think she will enjoy – for sure. Like you she loves languages, and after a high school year in France, is eager to return to Europe. xo
