Throwback Thursday: Harry Potter Style

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday on Fandom In Stitches! Each week, we revisit our fandom roots by sharing an updated version of Harry Potter patterns from way back before FiS was A Thing!
Today, we get super serious around here and talk about one of the greatest wizards of all time: Merlin.
Well, we'll talk about his pants, at any rate!
Hey, there's no point doing what we do if we don't have a sense of humor!
Like all patterns shared during Throwback Thursday, this pattern was originally shared on Harry Potter Paper Piecing, a Livejournal community, and the predecessor to Fandom in Stitches.

"Oh, here she is," Ron added, craning around in his seat to watch Hermione re-entering the kitchen. "And what in the name of Merlin's most baggy Y-fronts was that about?"
