Pumpkin Juice Recipes for Harry Potter Fans

HAVE YOU HEARD OF PUMPKIN JUICE? WHAT IS PUMPKIN JUICE?

Pumpkin juice is, as my son was quick to point out, juice made from a pumpkin. However, the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWOHP) in Orlando, Florida has taken the interest in this unusual beverage to new heights because pumpkin juice is one of the beverages you can purchase when you visit the theme park.

In Harry Potter's world this juice a cold drink that is served at any time to wizards and students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry . It is a juice that is consumed like orange juice is by muggles.

At The Wizarding World of Harry Potter you can buy attractively bottled juice that tastes, some say, like pumpkin pie cider. You can also buy a slightly different version of this drink called Pumpkin Fizz at Hogsmeade's The Three Broomsticks pub.

If, like me, you cannot make it to WWOHP, you can make your own version of this juice. There is a wealth of recipes available on line, a few of which I will share below. 

PUMPKIN JUICE RECIPES

There are many types of pumpkin juice recipes available, you will certainly have your pick. There are recipes that really do seem like real pumpkin juice. I cannot imagine any juice more real than a recipe that starts with a real pumpkin. From there you will go to the other extreme with recipes that include mixes like iced tea. If neither one of those ideas appeals to you, you are bound to find a great recipe somewhere in the middle.

The New York Times said, "Pumpkin juice in a cute, pumpkin-topped bottle is far more interesting than the park's butterbeer, perhaps because the actual pumpkin content seems minimal. It is more like a feisty apple cider with a little pumpkin thrown in."

Fantastic Cartoon Network Lego Sets For Kids

Do you remember the good old days sitting down in front of the TV watching all of your favorite cartoons? Maybe you are young enough to have done so on the Cartoon Network or maybe that is where your children find their favorite cartoons. Did you know that you can purchase and build Cartoon Network-themed Lego sets?

Your children will enjoy building with these sets. Join me here as I check out a few of them.

HOW ABOUT A MIXELS SET?

Suitable for Children Aged 6 and Up 

Have you seen the Cartoon Network program, the Mixels? The Mixels are comical characters made up of the basic building blocks of LEGO matter: Fire, Rock, Electricity and so on. The sets shown at the top of this page and just above as well as the other Mixel Lego sets shown here are available from Amazon by clicking right here!

HOW ABOUT A SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS SET?

Suitable for kids aged 6 to 12.

This  SpongeBob SquarePants Lego set, Krusty Krab Adventures 3833, is a very interesting set for any child who loves SpongeBob. As a matter of fact, I bet that if you love SpongeBob, you would not mind building this Lego set either. It contains 209 pieces of Lego and comes with SpongeBob, Patrick and Mr. Krabs minifigures.

UPDATE: This SpongeBob set has been retired. It is still available from Amazon by clicking right here at the following link but be aware that retired sets often sell at a premium.

HOW ABOUT A BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE SET?

Suitable for Children Aged 5 to 12

This Ben 10 Alien Force Spidermonkey set (8409) is based on the popular cartoon where 10-year old Ben Tennyson discovers a mysterious device which gives him the power to transform into different alien heroes. It is probably one of the most popular Ben 10 Lego sets. 

There are six Ben 10 Alien Force Cartoon Alien Lego Sets to collect. This set builds a four-armed Blue Alien with glow-in-the-dark eyes and includes the Chest Omnitrix. It has 21 pieces.

Collect all six of the aliens to make your very own super alien. As is often the case, these sets are completely interchangeable and compatible with one another.

Children don't have to be into the Ben 10 Alien Force cartoon to build this or even want it and many kids who own and collect these sets don't actually watch the cartoon. Find your Ben 10 Alien Force Lego set here on Amazon.

MICHAEL JACKSON'S VISION

MTV and Michael Jackson arrived on the North American scene at pretty much the same time and they were perfectly suited to each other. Jackson used MTV from the very beginning to share his visual style and his music where people could hear and see his music. He started thinking of his songs as scripts and created stories out of them and called them 'short films' rather than 'music videos.'

The first music video to be initiated into the Library of Congress National Film Registry was Michael Jackson's Thriller. That song had a huge impact at the time of its release. I remember staying home the night that video was released to watch it on television and being totally amazed by it.

VIDEO TRAILER

Michael Jackson's Vision was released on November 22, 2010. It contains all 35 of Michael's videos that were created when he was working as a solo performer. Ten of them appear on DVD for the first time ever. The videos have been restored and remastered so that you will get the best audio and visual impact from them. It includes a bonus DVD with seven more videos with other artists that include The Jacksons performing "Enjoy Yourself," Paul McCartney performing "Say Say Say" and the video that had never been seen before, "One More Chance."

FAST FACTIONS ABOUT VISION

ACTOR: Michael Jackson
FORMAT: DVD. Vision is NOT being released on blu-ray at this time.
NUMBER OF DISCS: 3
RATED: NR (Not Rated)
STUDIO: Sony Legacy
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: November 22, 2010
DVD RELEASE DATE: November 22, 2010
RUN TIME: 4.5 hours

This package reflects Michael Jackson's vision. Fans are definitely going to want this DVD set in their collection. Unfortunately for those of you who are looking for the Blu-ray version of Vision, it does appear that Vision is not being released on Blu-ray.

Viewer and Jackson fan Kaio says, "If you're a fan of Michael Jackson, then you can't go wrong with this beautiful DVD box set...I know this is something I'll treasure forever. The words "special" and "genius" are bandied about far too freely, but in this instance, the man truly lives up to the meaning of those words, and then some!"
