The pentagram is a five pointed shape where each point of a 5 sided polygon (pentagon) circumscribed around a circle is connected by one continuous line that travels internally, from 3 o’clock, to 8 o’clock, to 12 o’clock, to 4 o’clock, to 9 o’clock, and back to 3 o’clock.

Harry Potter has always been my favorite movie series and have gathered many harry potter toys. Magic is very interesting and I love all the things you can do by different spells and the endless possibilities available to you.
