Harry Potter Book 5

This was the hardest one of the 7 puzzles, but it was still entertaining and I enjoyed the challenge. I finished the last 3 puzzles on the same day, and had a great time with every single one of them.

Assembling these puzzles has made clear to me that I didn’t pay much attention to the actual book covers when I read them. I guess I was too excited to get to reading. 🙂 But putting these together I’ve seen things in the background that went unnoticed before – and now I’ve got a hankering to read them all over again.

I wonder if there are any more fun series of puzzles that NY Puzzle Company has, I’ve enjoyed this one so much!

A cute little kids puzzle, with the added fun of glitter! I love the Fancy Nancy images, they’re adorable, and remind me of myself. I’m all about being who you are, especially if you don’t fit in – who wants to be just like everyone else? Not me! 🙂

This is the fourth Briarpatch puzzle that I’ve assembled, and they’ve all had differing levels of quality; it makes me wonder why that is. This puzzle had thick enough pieces, but the chipboard used wasn’t very sturdy at all, and the way the pieces fit together was……odd. It wasn’t too tight, it wasn’t spongy, it simply felt very weird. I’m not sure I can properly explain it; you could plainly see that the piece was in the correct place, but it didn’t feel as though it was. Not a good fit, bent and flimsy pieces, and the puzzle didn’t lay flat.

Questionable quality aside though, Fancy Nancy is adorable!

Not as quick and simple as your usual 100 piece children’s puzzle, the image gives you a bit of a cerebral workout – or maybe I’m losing brain cells at a faster rate than I’d thought. 😉

These Harry Potter puzzles are one of my favorite Christmas presents this year, I’m having a great time with them. Thank you very much my beautiful daughter. ❤

These Harry Potter cover puzzles are harder than they look, but so much fun! The colors are beautiful, the quality is excellent, and they’re small enough to finish with a cup of coffee. 🙂

I’ve read all the books several times, and to be honest I never really paid attention to the detail on the covers before – but you absolutely have to pay attention when you’re putting these together. I’m a puzzler, so you would think I have some eye for detail, but I never noticed the shadow of Sirius Black in the window before!

Or perhaps I did register it, but my muddled brain didn’t keep that information on file. Who knows? Obviously, not me!

This was my very first puzzle of 2019 – I like to do a small puzzle on New Year’s Day so that I can start and finish the whole puzzle to start the year off right. Luckily this year my beautiful daughter gave me this set of seven 100 piece puzzles. They are so much fun!

I appreciate the adult-type difficulty level in a 100 piece puzzle and I love the Harry Potter books, so these puzzles make me doubly happy – and they help me keep up with having enough puzzles to post too. 😉
