RE: Mum spends 18 months and £13,000 turning dining room into an exact replica of Hogwarts

Hey b0y2k, we're trying to not reward straight copy and pasting articles to Steemit. It can be seen as stealing especially when rewards are involved. It's especially not good when no attribution is even given, which sometimes leaves people thinking it is an original post. Edit: I see now that the source is linked to in the middle of the post but it was easy to scroll past. Plus a copy/pasted post with a high value such as this one takes rewards away from genuine creators and other posts that someone has put more work into than re-formatting.

Instead of copy/pasting an entire article it's a better practice to use an image or two, quote a paragraph or two of the article, and/or specific interesting quotes, and optionally add your own commentary.

I have downvoted (flagged) this post for the above reason.
