Over three days, I ate the Harry Potter Chocolate Frog.
(It looked much better than it tasted.)
But the real reward lay inside that beautiful little box, under the frog: a Helga Hufflepuff 3-D card.
Suddenly, my childhood fascination with such cardboard panels rushed back. I studied the card, slanting it this way and that, in light and out, up close and far away, and while I know the trick has something to do with the coating and the ridges and the pigment, I am as enchanted as I was at four or five when I saw the first of these magical visual tricks.
Please: don't tell me how it's done. I considered searching online and decided against it. I still need to believe in magic.
