Adored seeing Harry, Ron, and Hermione give their warnings and use the invisibility cloak for all the visitors to watch.

Moaning Myrtle wasn't visible, but you could hear her in the restrooms warning and annoying everyone.  Loved that.

     The visit to Hogwarts yesterday, and the memories of all of the seven Harry Potter novels, completely restored my abilities to focus on retirement goals.  I knew it would work its wizarding on me.
 
      I'm refreshed and ready to return to opening my thoughts to new ideas and new possibilities for my future.  My horoscope was right.  Thank you, Harry Potter.  You're a wizard!
