When It Comes To Harry Potter, I Can Get Pretty Crazy

Actually, that is an understatement. I am like a completely different person.
We walked into F A O Swartz today to get something for my brother's birthday this Friday, and I immediately noticed an entire wing of the store devoted to Harry Potter. Forget my brother, I wanted to go have some fun. When I finally found the rest of my family, I was armed with a Gryffindor scarf and hat, Bertie Botts Beans, the sword of Gryffindor, some school robes, Harry Potter's glasses, a mini Hogwarts, and my own copy of the Marauder's Map. Of course, it was ridiculously overpriced, and I ended up walking out with nothing but a Chocolate Frog that came with a Minerva McGonagal trading card. But hey, it's all good because later this year I get to go down to the Diagon Alley in LA and be even more of a nerd by getting a Harry Potter costume to wear to the sixth movie premiere (Which, p.s., I will be attending the 12:01 AM showing of. Anyone care to join me?).

Um two things miss Elise:

1. I laughed out loud at the "Forget my brother, I wanted to have some fun!" part.
2. I would very much like to accompany you to the upcoming Diagon Alley in LA and the 12:01 premiere! Tap tap Ginny Weasley.
You, me and Heather talked about this at Free Lunch Friday, it's all settled.
