3. 84 days - time to get going on my costume
The bookstore here did a big party with costumes and all sorts of fun. Last time, I dressed as Prof. Sprout, but this year, I'm thinking perhaps Molly.

Alternately, I'm thinking about Bellatrix. Very few people ever dress as the baddies (though the most effective costume I saw last time was a young man dressed as Malfoy.)

4. That is the coolest thing!
I have decided to get two books via Amazon AND go into the store at midnight. Kind of like a great Halloween Party in July! I have a cloak that I shall work on to add some embellishments...hmmmm :think:

5. No costumes here - but I found these great HP T-Shirts at a discount
store. I got some of them for a house selection ceremonial I did at my daughter's birthday. Of course, we'll wear them on July 16 - my daughter and I.

14. Hell no!
I own and would wear again clothing appropriate to Bellatrix. There is no way in HELL I would ever own either an Alice band or a pink cardigan. Ever. Under any circumstances.

And while I have gained weight this year, I'm not that round.

Considering recent injuries, I think I might be going as McGonegall, since she has a cane and limps during part of OOP (I Think.) I believe I will still be on the cane or the canadian crutch at that point.

9. I will probably read it in two sittings
however last time I spent two days reading it on and off and off and it was a great time.

Camping in the woods for a project... read, work, read, watch butterflies, read, etc.

16. More importantly
the pastors at the church will understand.

I'd be surprised if they don't call in sick themselves.
