Okay, so the new book is coming out, and like good geeks, we're going to the release party. I don't think my kids will do well there, but considering it's the last book, it's the last chance they'll have to get in on the phenomenon. So they're staying up until at least 1am, and we're going to the release party. My husband is protesting it and trying every way possible to get out of it, including bringing his mom in from out of state. "She doesn't want to go to the party and I'm not going to leave her at the apartment alone." Not my problem, sweetheart. You're going.

I managed to think of a REALLY good costume for my kids. They are having a costume party, and I want to win it because they usually give out really good prizes. I won't say what the costume is, but it's not your typical Harry Potter or Hermione, so if the contest isn't for the best Harry Potter lookalike, my son should win for sure. Originally I was planning on making a hat for my daughter with silver wings out the side, and painting her face gold, so she would look like a Snitch. I think I figured out something better. I promise to share both costume ideas after the release party.

Ok, after the first 5 minutes of the 'Shaun of the Dead' commentary, I was ready to ring Edgar Wright and propose marriage (ya, I do that alot!) The reason was......well, stupid, really. He'd refered to David as Harry Potter. Now, from the first time I saw that movie, I'd been saying the exact same thing and getting either blank looks from people or just "you're crazy" looks! Finally, I was vindicated!!!
What I love about the Harry Potter phenom is that those bloody books are getting kids to read again! Oh, what a miracle he is! As a writer it makes me nuts that the written word is becoming a lost legacy. Hopefully, once the books are gone the kids will find another series to read or she'll come up with something new they'll love as much.
Good luck with the costumes! Post pictures!

And I absolutely LOVED the idea of dressing your daughter up as a Snitch!

So, what "release party?" Is it a thing they are doing in your town or are you going to the real thing? Tell me, tell me, tell me!!!

I don't know if I'll post pictures because of those wackos everyone was talking about that lift photos off people's sites. But I promise I will describe them. If I can pull it off, it's going to be hilarious, and everyone there will know exactly what they are supposed to be, but nobody will have dressed like that. lol

PW, just a small local one. Still, the prizes aren't bad and it's fun for the kids.
