Rowling’s](http://time.com/4359107/harry-potter-cursed-child-jk-rowling-spoilers/) book series — a U.K. weather reporter gave a forecast chock-full of wizarding world puns. Channel 5’s Sian Welby appeared on Tuesday morning’s episode of [Capital Breakfast](https://twitter.com/CapitalLondon) to present her magical projection for the week ahead in London. “Time to Quidditch that winter coat and embrace the good weather,” she said as the _Harry Potter_ movie score began playing in the background. “However, with all the heat at the moment, it doesn’t take a philosopher to predict that in between some other sunny spells, a few showers will Slytherin.” Welby is known for her punny broadcasts, having delivered both [_Star Wars_](http://time.com/4153245/star-wars-weather-report/)and [_Batman v Superman_\-themed](http://www.people.com/article/batman-v-superman-sian-welby-weather-video) updates in the past.
