Monday 27th was Blaise’s 7th birthday. Wednesday 29th was Bill’s 16th birthday. Muggle news: actor Cary Grant also died on 29th.
It’s December, so much of this week we expect to be taken up with Christmas preparations and excitement. Yesterday, 1st December, was the first day of advent. In Britain, most children (and some adults) will have an advent calendar, usually with chocolate behind the windows as well as a picture.

It’s December, so much of this week we expect to be taken up with Christmas preparations. Yesterday, 1st December was the first day of advent.
