HP on 10/31?

It is almost October, as evidenced by the Halloween decorations I saw yesterday, but more notably by the e-mail from a certain friend asking me to recruit people to be characters for the Harry Potter theme Halloween block in San Francisco. Last year, as many of you might recall, I was Fleur Delacour, complete with entire costume. I pulled it out again for the latest HP movie, but figure the next chance I will get to wear it will be on Halloween, like last year.

Well, this year, I have been asked if either myself or someone I know would like to be Luna Lovegood. OK, I really would rather get another year out of the Fleur costume, if not several, so I am not sure I should instead be Luna, but I suspect there is someone out there that would be a great Luna and just needs the excuse to put together a costume and join me and my friends (or be Fleur so I can be Luna). Also, I think there is needed a Tonks and/or MadEye, both which sound like fun roles.

Another role that I suspect at least one (or more) of my friends would have a lot of fun doing is The Fat Lady for the painting in the door to Gryffindor Tower. This involves wearing a ball gown, interacting with the stream of tricker-or-treaters, and even occasionally acting upset, drunk and belligerent as you see fit (although loyal to Gryiffindor students, of course). In the past they have had a static portrait, but we have be talking about how fun it would be to have someone really there interacting with people.

I play Nancy of the Oliver Twist cast, our stage is diagonally opposite the coffee house. The world is really only made up of 83 real people. ;)

I might be interested, but I have a 5 year old, and we'll be spending Halloween in Alameda.

Ah, well, maybe next year your (will then be) 6 yo can make the trip to SF to see us all in our HP splendor.

We will probably see each other at Dickens then. We sure do know plenty of the same people. If I don't run into you before then, come by Mr. Brown's and say hi once we get set-up at site.
