I have always loved trees and forests; when I was small, my adults, knowing of my passion, would call out “Woods, Susan!  Woods!  Woods!” when the car we were riding in passed through any collection of trees, however limited.  So of course, the many scenes in the Harry Potter movies that take place in the Magical Forest were especially magical for me. This challenge – “Entrance” – offered me a chance to re-create a modest imagining of Hagrid’s forest. The “Entrance” is on the right. Once inside, the explorer can wander among trees that range from appearing more or less ordinary to those that are clearly exotic and magical. Just follow the arrow.
