New Pens and Ink!

[chupie]

Here are the rest of the Harry Potter pens and the J.Herbin colors I put in them. I just am thrilled with all of them.

The inks . (Includes my Pelikan Go! for the lovely purple ink, pen not pictured)

Very awesome pens and the inks match nicely with the barrels

 

 

For the Harry Potter feel, I would get a dip pen that they use in the movie...That should get you into the Harry Potter mood as well

 

I secretly wish I had a magic wand

[chupie]

I do hope to try dip pens. Mostly because I'd like to try some of that real flexy writing. However, I'd feel a bit silly whipping out a quill at work

 

It's just really fun having a "set" and they were so dang hard to track down I feel like they are REAL collectors that didn't cost an arm and a leg. They really do write pretty nicely too. Cartridge only but there are plenty o' inks out there in cartridges

 

I'll have to get something really firey for the Goblet of Fire pen one of these days.

I did a search myself and 2 sets complete with the tins are selling on ebay now. The first set seems like the first one that you got.

[chupie]

Yes, both of them are the Goblet of Fire one. Be a great pressie for some family member

Hi Chupie,

 

Very nice set! As are the inks! I think I may get my daughter into fps with these, so I'll have to try and track down a few too .

 

Thank you for sharing!

 

Warm regards, Wim

Where did you buy your Harry Potter fountain pens?

[chupie]

eBay. I could only find them by searching the french eBay site. Right now there are the two sets of the Goblet of Fire one on www.ebay.com, but every once in while on the french one you will have better luck. There was a fellow on the pnetrace board that saw them at a store in the UK and might be willing to get them and send them.

Where did you buy your Harry Potter fountain pens?

There is a fellow on the green board at pentrace that is going to work on getting some of the set of three (not the triwizard one, although you never know they might get that too) to sell to people for basically cost and shipping over here. http://www.pentrace.com/PenMarket.htm It'd be a good way to get them for the price they are supposed to be

I'm not a big Harry Potter fan (yet?) but I know there is some neat description of writing in the books (i.e., the envelopes addressed to Harry in the beginning). I think it is great they made some promotional fountain pens instead of crummy ballpoints all the time. They look really nice! Do you know who manfactured these?

Stypen. (oo. "Yet?". Heh, heh. I wasn't until I got to the 4th book which made me sit straight up in my chair towards the end and say "whoa". I then went back and read them again. This woman is not your average author. Those books are not average books. I'm dying for the final one.)

 

Yes, there is a lot of "writing" in the books. Some of it appears on screen in the movies. The envelopes addressed to Harry in Book one, in Emerald ink is vividly depicted. They are, of course, always pulling out quills and ink. There is a particularly fun scene in the second book, recreated in the movie, where Harry writes in an old blank diary and the diary writes back (in a lovely italic script). In the newest movie, journalist Rita Skeeter has an "acid green quill" that plays a prominent role in a scene. And anyone enjoying words should enjoy looking for all the different morphed words that she names people and spells with as they are usually some how connected to that person/spells characteristics. And my favorite aspect is that the books "get older" with the characters. A very clever girl J.K. Rowling. I guarantee that if you get to the end of book 4 and you will think this is something different (I can't tell you what happens or it wouldn't be the shocker that it was to me!).
